Our Core Values
Deliver Incredible Value
Our number one goal when managing your paid search account is to deliver a return on your PPC investment. Whether it’s generating leads, driving phone calls, driving eCommerce sales or delivering customers to your storefront, we will measure and return to your goals.
Be Open and Transparent
All too often, consultants and agencies keep data, account access, and insights close to their chest, not sharing critical business metrics with their clients. Our focus is to share insights that you may have missed without us on your account. Paid search insights often lead to key business decisions. Think of us as an extension of your team–If you succeed, we succeed.
Focus on the Future
Google and Bing constantly change the features of their PPC platforms. With Granular on your account, you can rest assured that we are on the cutting edge of the latest news and feature changes. With our large enterprise accounts and direct contact with Google and Bing reps, we are often involved with Alpha and Beta tests that most other PPC specialists don’t have access to. Our connections to the search engines mean that you will also be ready for any changes.
Focus on Efficiency
We use strict methods of PPC management that make Google’s quality score happy and your CPCs lower, driving overall efficiency for your media investment. Our best practices were honed on over 300 businesses and with over $250,000,000 in ad spend! Our tried-and-true methods are built on years of positive results and supported by a large helping of Midwestern work ethic.
