We’re a boutique marketing agency with Google Ads as our primary focus. We combine time-tested marketing principles with cutting-edge digital strategies for superior results. Here are some of the benefits of working with us:
Deep PPC expertise.
Pay per click marketing is all we do, so our knowledge runs deep. Our team is obsessed with keeping on top of industry changes, and we can help you navigate those changes as well.
Big picture view.
Some PPC agencies ask for your Google Ads login and immediately start setting up campaigns. We don’t. We educate ourselves about your company and its marketing BEFORE we do a deep dive into your PPC accounts.
Customized advertising plan.
We don’t believe in cookie-cutter approaches. We design a custom advertising plan that’s based on your specific needs.
No long-term contacts.
Most of our clients stay with us for years. But you don’t have to. Take it month by month and with no long-term obligation.
Your own account manager.
Your account is supported by one or two account managers, who are, in turn, guided by a PPC director for a high level of response and expertise.
High touch.
We’re not captivated by Google automation. We make sure every client account has human eyes-on attention.
Continual optimization.
We’re never satisfied. Even when we’re hitting all our goals, we keep testing and strategizing to take results to the next level.
Proactive approach.
The real opportunities in PPC lie in being proactive, not reactive. We actively seek out strategies to get you where you want to go—and spot problems before they occur.
Early access to new tools, alphas and betas.
As a trusted agency, Google gives us early access to tools and functions in alpha and beta testing phases, giving us an advantage.
Agility.
Opportunities can arise quickly in PPC when Google Ads changes or rolls out new features. But you have to act quickly to take advantage of them. We quickly jump on opportunities as they arise.
Data-driven decision making.
Our focus is to figure out what’s driving your revenue and leads. We often use strategies that are a mix of new innovations and old school fundamentals—and we’ll pursue whatever strategies work best as supported by data.
Open communication.
We keep you abreast of what we’re doing in your account through reporting and regular meetings that are scheduled as frequently as you’d like.
Our Team
Group Twenty Seven has been delivering great results for marketing managers, directors and C-suite executives for over 10 years.
What started as a one-woman shop out of a home office in Boston has grown into a small team of dedicated PPC professionals.
We’ve seen a lot of exciting changes in the digital advertising space during that time. But our dedication to responsive service and excellent performance has never wavered.
