Ads that answer to revenue in Marathon.

Before you sign with anyone, ask these. The answers will tell you more than any proposal deck, and they are the same questions we expect Marathon owners to ask us.

1. What do you track before launch? If the answer is not calls, forms and bookings tied to each campaign, the reports will be guesswork.
2. Who runs my account day to day? A senior specialist, or a junior who rotates every few months?
3. How often do you touch the account? Paid search needs weekly attention on search terms and negatives at minimum.
4. What do you report? Look for tracked inquiries and cost per lead, not impressions and click-through rate alone.
5. Who owns the ad accounts? Your accounts and data should stay in your name, so you keep the history if you ever leave.

Ownership is the one owners forget to ask about, and it matters most. Years of campaign data, audiences and conversion history are an asset. If an agency builds everything in its own account, that asset walks out the door with them.

A strong partner will answer all five without hesitation. A weak one will steer the conversation back to reach, clicks and creative awards.

Our answers are short. We track first, senior specialists run every account, campaigns are reviewed weekly, reports center on inquiries and cost per customer, and accounts are set up so you keep ownership. If that sounds like what your Marathon business needs, start with our Google Ads approach or ask for a free account review.

Google Ads is not one product. It is a set of campaign types, each suited to a different kind of buyer. Picking the wrong mix is one of the most common reasons an account spends without producing. Here is how we think about it as an advertising agency in Marathon:

Google publishes the setup and policy details for each type in Google Ads Help, and we follow it closely. What the documentation cannot tell you is which mix fits a business in Marathon with your margins and your competition. That comes from testing.

We usually start with Search because it gives the cleanest data fastest. Once tracking proves which queries produce customers, we layer in the other types where they make sense. See our Google Ads service for the full approach.

Whatever the mix, every campaign type reports into the same conversion tracking, so you can compare them on the one number that matters: what a new customer cost. That keeps the account honest as Google keeps adding features.

Owners often ask whether they should be on Google or on Facebook and Instagram. The honest answer depends on how people buy what you sell. A good advertising agency in Marathon will tell you which channel to lead with, and why, before spending anything.

Lead with search when

People actively look for your service when they need it, like urgent repairs, medical appointments or professional services. The intent already exists, and the job is to show up first and convert the click.

Lead with social when

Buyers do not know they need you yet, or your offer is visual, seasonal or an experience. Tours, events, restaurants, fitness and many retail businesses in Marathon fall here. Social puts the idea in front of them.

Run both when

You want steady growth rather than a short burst. Social builds familiarity and retargets visitors. Search catches people when they are ready. Together they make each other cheaper over time.

The wrong lead channel is an expensive mistake that looks fine on a dashboard. A tour company buying search clicks on generic terms, or an emergency service running awareness video, can show plenty of activity and very few customers.

Whichever leads, creative quality decides most of the outcome on social. We produce and test multiple ad versions through our paid social team, with the same tracking standards we use on Google, so results are comparable across channels and across Marathon.

Ad platforms produce dozens of metrics. Most of them are useful to the person managing the account and useless to the person paying for it. Here is how we split them when we report to Marathon clients.

Behind-the-scenes metrics still get daily attention from the specialist on your account. They are how we diagnose problems early. They just are not the scoreboard, and we will not dress them up as results in a report to you.

This is how a measured advertising agency in Marathon should work. Spend is tied to outcomes, and the conversation each month is about which campaigns earned more room.

It holds up in real programs. Nusbaum Medical Centers logged 1,645 tracked inquiries from ads in 12 months. Aces Airboat Tours drove 369 clicks to its booking button in its first two tracked months. Read how in our case studies.

Senior specialists run every account, and Unified has been doing this since 2006 for more than 1,100 businesses. If you want ads that answer to revenue in Marathon, start with a free account review.
