FAQ’s
When you engage ESV, you gain access to cutting-edge technologies and certified expertise. Where internal management may reach its limits, we bring a proven methodology, a cross-functional view of the market, mastery of customized automation scripts, and privileged access to beta versions made available by platforms. Our role is to transform your advertising spend into a profitable and scalable growth engine.
Your monthly SEA investment depends on your industry, competition for your keywords, and your goals. We recommend a minimum monthly budget of €1,500 to €2,000 to achieve significant results. For highly competitive industries (insurance, finance, real estate), budgets can start at €3,000-5,000/month. Our team systematically conducts preliminary market research to estimate the optimal budget based on your conversion goals and target CPA.
SEA and SEO are complementary channels. SEA offers immediate results and total control, ideal for launches and promotions. SEO takes 6 to 12 months but generates long-term traffic. Our recommendation: start with SEA to quickly gain visibility, while building your long-term SEO strategy. SEA data (high-performing keywords, messages that convert) can then be used to fuel your SEO content strategy.
Our methodology is based on striking a balance between data and creativity. We optimize ROAS (Return on Advertising Spend) through:
- Precise management of Quality Score.
- Leveraging first-party data to feed smart bidding algorithms.
- A granular account structure enabling ultra-responsive budget allocation to the segments with the highest conversion rates.
The advantage of SEA is its immediate impact: your ads are visible as soon as they are launched. However, a learning phase of 2 to 4 weeks is generally necessary to stabilize Smart Bidding algorithms. At ESV, we use this period to quickly iterate on A/B tests (ads and landing pages) in order to achieve your CPA or ROAS objectives as quickly as possible.
It all depends on the maturity of your account and your conversion goals. At ESV, we recommend a hybrid approach:
- Performance Max is preferred for its ability to deliver across the entire Google inventory (YouTube, Gmail, Display, Maps) through a single AI-driven campaign, thereby maximizing conversion volume.
- At the same time, we maintain Search campaigns to keep control over your strategic keywords and Shopping feeds optimized for product visibility.
Our added value lies in algorithm management: we feed PMax with qualified audience signals and strict placement exclusions to ensure that automation serves your profitability, not the other way around.
