PPC for manufacturers that earns back ad spend.

PPC for manufacturers and industrial B2B suppliers that care about contribution margin, not last-click ROAS theatre. You get Google Search built around buyer-intent part-number queries, LinkedIn programs targeted at procurement and engineering job titles, trade-publication placements in the journals your buyers actually read, and server-side attribution tied to closed orders inside your CRM.

What's included · paid media

Six things every manufacturing
paid media engagement ships with.

Some agencies hide what's included until you're past the proposal stage. We don't. Here's exactly what every manufacturing paid media engagement covers — six concrete deliverables, each tied to your unit economics.

01 — INCLUDED

Channel-fit assessment

Two-week diagnostic on which channels actually fit your buyer. Most clients are running on 4 channels; we usually consolidate to 2.

02 — INCLUDED

Account architecture rebuild

Campaign, ad-group, and audience structure rebuilt around your ICP segments — not Google's recommendations or last consultant's leftovers.

03 — INCLUDED

Creative & copy production

Static, video, and motion creative refreshed every 14 days. Owned by senior creative, not a junior in a Slack channel.

04 — INCLUDED

Bid strategy & attribution

Bid strategies tuned to qualified-lead value, MQL→SQL rate, or contribution margin. Server-side tracking on every campaign.

05 — INCLUDED

Audience & segment work

First-party CRM uploads, lookalikes built from closed-won data, and exclusion logic on segments that don't pay back.

06 — INCLUDED

Weekly optimization, monthly attribution

Weekly cycle of creative, audience, and bid optimization. Monthly attribution review tied to your unit economics.

How the engagement runs

Four stages between
kickoff and lift.

The same engagement architecture across every PPC for manufacturers program, recalibrated for the unit economics of an industrial plant. Each stage produces a measurable artifact operations and finance can both defend, not a discovery deck nobody opens twice.

1

Audit

Two-week channel-fit and account audit. We tear through every campaign, audience, and creative to find what is wasting spend and what is quietly working without the credit it deserves.

Stage 01
2

Rebuild

Account architecture rebuilt around your product lines and end-markets. New campaign structure, new audiences, new bid strategies, and the first creative wave shipped before week six.

Stage 02
3

Optimize

Weekly creative refresh, audience tuning, and bid adjustment cycle. Server-side attribution flowing into a live dashboard tied to RFQ value, not click volume or platform-native ROAS.

Stage 03
4

Scale

Monthly attribution-driven scale-up on the product lines paying back. Spend reallocated quarterly based on closed RFQ value by product line and end-market, not last quarter's clicks.

Stage 04
Transparent packages

Manufacturing ppc pricing that scales with your spend.

Four monthly tiers. Flat management fee, no per-keyword or per-campaign upsells. Most growing teams pick Growth at $799/mo. Ad spend is billed separately at cost — we never mark it up. Every manufacturing ppc quote is given on the strategy call.

Common questions

Things manufacturers
ask about PPC.

Eight of the most common questions we field on first calls about PPC for manufacturers. If something here is not covered, the strategy call is the right place to get into it.

What does a manufacturing PPC retainer typically cost?
Retainers run from $399/mo for Launch to $2,500/mo+ for Enterprise, with Growth at $799/mo and Scale at $1,499/mo covering most manufacturers, plus ad spend, depending on the number of channels, creative cadence, and account complexity. The fee covers a senior strategist, weekly optimization, 14-day creative refresh, server-side attribution, and a live dashboard tied to RFQ value that you can pull up in a quarterly review without prep.
How fast do PPC programs pay back for manufacturers?
Most manufacturing PPC programs show measurable lift inside the first month because we kill wasted spend on day one. Meaningful RFQ lift usually shows up by week six. The 14-day creative refresh cycle compounds the gains over the first quarter as we learn which messaging actually pulls qualified buyers in each product line.
Will you work alongside our existing team or vendors?
Yes. About 78% of engagements involve coordinating with an in-house marketer, a CRM specialist, or another agency running paid social. We are explicit about RACI in the kickoff so nobody is guessing who owns landing pages, who owns CRM routing, and who owns reporting by the end of week two.
What does onboarding look like?
Two weeks. Days 1 to 5 cover kickoff, account access, and a forensic audit of every active campaign. Days 6 to 10 cover strategy briefing and the rebuild plan. Days 11 to 14 cover signed scope and the first campaign restructure shipped. We do not run a 60-day discovery phase that produces a PDF.
How is success measured?
Reporting ties to outcomes manufacturers actually care about. Qualified RFQs from paid, cost per qualified RFQ, sales cycle on paid-sourced leads, and pipeline contribution by product line. Every monthly review includes a per-channel and per-segment view from spend to closed order, not just clicks and CTR.
Do you require we move our ad accounts?
No. We work inside your existing Google Ads, Meta, and LinkedIn accounts. You keep ownership, history, and audit trail. We get manager-level access, but the plant always owns the account. If you ever leave, you keep everything we built without us touching anything on the way out.
What happens if a channel is not working?
We kill it. Most manufacturers come in spending across four or more channels because that is what the previous agency or a freelancer recommended. We usually consolidate to two within the first month if the data says only two are paying back. We will defend the recommendation with the math.
Do you handle trade publication and intent-data programs?
Yes. Trade publication placements with publishers like Thomas, IndustryWeek, Modern Machine Shop, and vertical-specific titles. We also run intent-data programs through Bombora and 6sense where the buyer match-rate justifies the spend. We integrate intent signals into the campaign audiences, not just the reporting deck.
Three ways forward

Start with a PPC audit, not a sales call.

On the strategy call you speak with a senior strategist, not a sales rep. The 45 minutes cover your current ad accounts, the channels actually pulling qualified RFQs, the product lines worth scaling first, and a working theory of where the next dollar of spend should go. You leave with a written next-step roadmap whether you ever hire us or not.
