What is PPC advertising?

Pay-per-click (PPC) charges for each ad click. With Google Ads, you can reach people searching for services like yours. We manage campaigns around the enquiries your business wants.

What does this PPC services guide for Canada cover?

Paid search and campaign decisions are introduced: targeting, bids, pages and lead tracking. Your free audit puts those ideas to work on your business.

How much should I budget for PPC?

That varies by your market, competition and goals. Across QliqQliq's Google Ads accounts and tracked calls, the median cost was $72 per tracked lead per account. Your cost will differ; discuss your budget in the free audit.

How fast will I see leads?

Our team ships fixes and pages in hours or days with AI tools and tested scripts. When leads arrive varies by market, budget and campaign. We can't guarantee rankings or a specific lead count.
