First 3 Months When You Hire a PPC Agency

Hiring a PPC agency is one of the fastest ways to scale traffic, generate qualified leads, and increase conversions—but the results don’t come from “magic.” They come from a strategic, structured 90-day process that ensures your campaigns are built for long-term profitability.

If you’re partnering with Squarezix—your trusted digital growth partner—you should know exactly what happens during the first 3 months, how performance ramps up, and when you can expect ROI to kick in.

Let’s break it down month-by-month.

Why the First 3 Months Matter

The first 90 days of PPC management are for:

  • Testing ad variations, landing pages, and keywords
  • Building a scalable performance structure

This foundation determines how fast and efficiently your future campaigns will grow.

Month 1: Deep Research, Strategy & Launch

1. Account Audit & Competitor Analysis

Your PPC agency starts by reviewing:

  • Existing ad data
  • Keyword gaps
  • Poor-performing campaigns
  • Missing tracking or incorrect setups
  • Competitor ads & landing page strategies

This step ensures no budget is wasted on flawed foundations.

2. Business, Products & Target Audience Understanding

A strong PPC strategy requires knowing your:

  • Ideal customer
  • ICP (Ideal Customer Profile)
  • Industry rules
  • Pricing & offers
  • Sales cycle

This helps your agency position your brand more accurately.

3. Conversion Tracking Setup

A PPC campaign without tracking is like flying blind.

Your agency implements or fixes:

  • Google Ads conversion tracking
  • GA4 event tracking
  • Phone call tracking
  • Lead form tracking
  • Enhanced conversions
  • First-party data collection

This ensures your ads learn and optimize correctly.

4. Keyword Research & Campaign Structuring

The agency prepares:

  • High-intent keywords
  • Negative keyword filtering
  • Campaign structure
  • Ad groups & match types
  • Landing page recommendations

This is also where we start aligning your PPC strategy with your website performance. If your site needs improvements, the team may recommend professional website development or help you maintain speed and performance via our Website Maintenance services.

5. Initial Campaign Launch

The first campaigns usually include:

  • Search campaigns
  • Brand campaigns
  • Retargeting
  • Performance Max (if applicable)

This month focuses heavily on collecting data—not generating immediate high ROI.

Month 2: Data Analysis, Optimization & Scaling Foundations

Now that the campaign has enough data, the agency begins optimization.

1. Eliminating Wasteful Spend

Your PPC team will reduce:

  • Low-intent keywords
  • Non-converting search terms
  • Poor placement in display/PMax

This is where most brands begin seeing a drop in CPL (Cost per Lead).

2. A/B Testing Starts

The agency tests:

  • Ad copies
  • Headline combinations
  • Landing pages
  • CTA variations
  • Keyword match type performance

This testing process ensures you find the best-performing elements.

3. Retargeting Optimization

Warm audiences are the highest converters.

Your agency optimizes:

  • Website visitors
  • Lead magnets
  • Cart abandoners
  • High-intent audiences

This increases conversion volume while keeping CPC stable.

4. Landing Page Fixes

If your landing page isn’t converting, you’re losing money.

Your PPC agency may recommend:

  • Reducing page load time
  • Improving CTAs
  • Adding testimonials
  • Cleaning up layout and content

If you need a conversion-optimized landing page, you can connect with our website designing experts in Dubai.

Month 3: Growth, Scaling & Predictable ROI

By now, you’ve built a strong data foundation. Month 3 is where PPC begins to maximize performance.

1. Bid Strategy Upgrades

Once enough conversion data is collected, PPC agencies move from manual bidding to:

  • Maximize conversions
  • Target CPA
  • Target ROAS

This boosts efficiency and drives predictable results.

2. Audience Expansion

After identifying top converters, audience layers are expanded into:

  • Lookalike audiences
  • High-intent custom audiences
  • Seasonal trend-based audiences

This is where campaign scaling truly begins.

3. Full Funnel PPC Execution

Month 3 often includes:

  • TOF (Top of funnel) ads
  • Middle funnel nurturing
  • Bottom-funnel retargeting
  • Video or display tests

This produces consistent and sustainable lead flow.

4. Reporting & Business Insights

Your PPC agency now provides:

  • Detailed performance reports
  • Sales pipeline impact insights
  • Future strategies
  • Scaling estimates

At this stage, you will clearly see:

  • Lower cost per lead
  • Higher conversion rate
  • Improved lead quality
  • More predictable ROI

When Will You Start Seeing Results?

Here’s a realistic timeline:

Time PeriodWhat You See
Week 1–4Data gathering, tracking setup, learning phase
Month 2CPL decreases, quality improves, waste reduced
Month 3Conversion stability, scalability, ROI becomes predictable

The more competitive your industry and the higher your CPC, the longer the learning period.
