I had the pleasure of working with Brett and 216 Marketing while managing an electronics accessories brand for a national telecom distributor. Having partnered with Brett before, I knew I could trust him to deliver results—and he absolutely did. His sound advice, deep expertise in SEO and SEM, and strategic guidance helped us cut through a highly competitive category. Brett’s execution of Google Ads, keyword strategy, and analytics was seamless and impactful, providing immediate lift in traffic, rankings, and—most importantly—conversions. He’s not only highly skilled, but also collaborative and proactive, making it easy to trust his recommendations. 216 Marketing proved to be a key partner in our digital growth, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Brett to anyone needing a reliable, ROI-focused digital marketing strategist. His work speaks for itself, and the results we saw in such a short time speak volumes about his capabilities.

I engaged 216 Marketing at the end of 2019 and experienced positive SEO results almost immediately. Brett is awesome. The thing I have appreciated the most is that Brett walked me through why things like a website refresh & domain transfer before the SEO began in earnest were so important - his suggestions and work have been completely on-point and everything is going really well. No drama or pushy customer service - Brett is simply interested in helping you and your business and offers helpful suggestions along the way.

How Do We Reduce Wasted Paid Advertising Spend?

More traffic isn’t necessarily better traffic. We review search terms, audience targeting, locations, devices, schedules, keywords, negative keywords, landing pages, and conversion data to identify where advertising dollars are being wasted.

Campaign performance also changes over time. We continually review the data and adjust targeting, budgets, messaging, and bidding based on what is actually producing qualified leads and valuable customer actions.

Why Does Conversion Tracking Matter for Paid Advertising?

Clicks and impressions only tell part of the story. Proper conversion tracking helps determine which campaigns, ads, keywords, and audiences are generating phone calls, form submissions, purchases, and other actions that matter to your business.

We use tools such as Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager to connect advertising activity with measurable results. That gives us better information for deciding where to increase spending, where to make changes, and where budget may be getting wasted.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much should I spend on paid advertising?

Your advertising budget should be based on your market, competition, goals, average customer value, and the cost of reaching potential customers. We evaluate those factors before recommending a budget rather than starting with an arbitrary number.

How quickly can paid advertising generate leads?

Paid advertising can begin generating traffic and opportunities shortly after campaigns launch, but effective campaigns usually improve as conversion data is collected. We use that data to refine targeting, keywords, messaging, budgets, and bidding over time.

Which paid advertising platform is best for my business?

It depends on your customers and what you’re trying to accomplish. Google and Microsoft Ads can reach people actively searching for a product or service, while Meta, YouTube, and display advertising can be useful for reaching audiences based on interests, behaviors, demographics, and previous interactions.

What is the difference between SEO and PPC?

SEO focuses on building organic search visibility over time, while PPC allows businesses to pay for targeted visibility in search results and other advertising platforms. Many businesses benefit from using both, but the right approach depends on your goals, competition, and budget.

Can you take over an existing Google Ads account?

Yes. We can review an existing account to identify wasted spend, tracking problems, targeting issues, search terms, keywords, campaign structure, and opportunities for improvement. Starting from scratch isn’t always necessary.

How do you measure whether paid advertising is working?

We look beyond clicks and impressions to the actions that matter to your business, such as qualified leads, phone calls, form submissions, purchases, cost per conversion, and other measurable business outcomes.

Does 216 Marketing manage Microsoft and Bing Ads?

Yes. We can manage Microsoft Advertising campaigns in addition to Google Ads and other paid advertising platforms. Microsoft Ads can provide another source of qualified search traffic depending on your audience and market.

Does 216 Marketing manage paid advertising throughout Northeast Ohio?

Yes. We manage paid advertising for businesses throughout Cleveland and Northeast Ohio and can also work with companies outside the region when we’re a good fit for their advertising needs.
