When managed correctly, profits from a productive PPC campaign can actually pay for other digital marketing initiatives entirely!

Google Text Ads

Paid search is still the fastest—and often the easiest—way to identify existing demand in the marketplace, and address it. Whether you're looking to bolster solid organic search performance or supercharge your exposure on Google, this is the way to do it! Plus, you get real time data and insights.

YouTube Ads

YouTube has now been the top streaming service on TVs in American households for almost two years. Plus, running YouTube ads is affordable and extremely customizable, no matter how niche your audience is or where they're located. You get more, more relevant exposure—for less.

Display / Banner

Need to bump up awareness levels for your brand or products without breaking the bank? Running Display—aka, ``Banner Ads``—is a no-brainer then. Our team of experts will get your ads onto high quality sites, while making sure your brand is protected from poor placements.

Paid Social Media

Advertising on Facebook, Instagram and other social networks has never been more complicated than it is now. Accurate targeting and efficient implementation have never been more important. Sonar has a second sense for both and can assist with campaigns of any size.

B2B / Lead Gen PPC Specialists

B2B pay-per-click advertising does require significantly more touch points and milestones than e-commerce, but it's far from impossible. So why do so many marketers tell you that's not the case, preferring instead to lean on the well-worn tracks of high-cost trade show and industry publications?

That's because success hinges on two critical components: data analysis and process. At Sonar, we first torture search data to identify any addressable demand that may already exist for your goods or services. We then determine how big of an opportunity it represents, and if it requires augmentation via demand generation. We then focus on meeting demand with paid search, and generating it with paid social.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an existing Google Ads account to get started?

No—we can help you set one up and get it plumbed through to other important tools like Google Analytics and Google My Business. If you do have an existing account, we’ll work with you to establish proper ownership (you should always own your accounts, not an agency) and get our team of experts proper permissions.

Isn't it cheating to pay to get to the top of the search results page?

Technically, yes—but these are the rules that Google has set in place, and they’ve been pretty successful doing it. In fact, the only way to ensure that you’re consistently at the top of the page is to pay for those placements, especially as AI plays more and more of a role in Internet experience.

Should I advertise on my own "branded terms"?

It’s not 100% essential, but it’s a good idea. As long as you have a novel and somewhat unique name, you should show up first in search engine results when someone searches for it. That said, it’s still a good idea to “buy” your “branded terms” (aka, brand name). Why? To avoid surrendering that position to circumstance or rogue competitors.

How much does pay-per-click advertising cost?

90-95% of the time, when we look at an existing account, it needs some kind of up-front work in order to function properly. Similarly, it can be a lot of work to get a new account set up right. That’s why (most of the time) we typically charge a flat, up front fee starting at$1,250 to get your ads up and running. From there what you pay depends on the scope of the effort and number of channels involved (text ads alone is less labor-intensive than text ads + YouTube). Typical management fees start at $1,600/month, regardless of ad spend. That’s the cost of doing things right.

Does this work for B2B?

YES! Contrary to what most marketers believe, PPC is a great tactic for B2B companies. We actually specialize in it. In most cases, B2B involves lower levels of existing demand in the marketplace due to specificity of product or service offering. That said, in a lot of cases, the people who do search for highly specified terms are typically more qualified and thus more likely to quickly engage.
