Paid campaigns built for RFQs, not clicks

Google Ads management for electronics manufacturers, distributors, and consumer brands. We bid on engineer-intent searches and route traffic to landing pages designed around the quote request — not a generic "contact us."

Why We Win

Most Google Ads shops can't run electronics.

They set up broad match, spend 60% of the budget on irrelevant clicks, and wonder why there are no RFQs. Electronics PPC demands exact match on part numbers, engineer-grade copy, and landing pages that don't embarrass you in front of a procurement manager.

01
◉

Exact-Match Intent

We default to Exact and tight Phrase match on commercial terms. Broad match is only used inside heavily-negativized Dynamic Search campaigns — never on high-CPC keywords.

02
⎈

Negative-Keyword Discipline

Electronics has brutal cross-contamination (hobbyists, students, DIYers). We ship with 600+ negatives on day one and expand weekly from search-term reports.

03
⧉

RFQ-Focused Landing Pages

Every campaign gets purpose-built landing pages with BOM upload, spec-request forms, and lead-time calculators — not a generic homepage.

04
⇌

Extended Attribution

Electronics B2B buys have 30 – 120 day cycles. We run 90-day attribution windows and connect Google Ads to your CRM so we optimize on closed revenue, not first-click.

05
⧖

Quality Score Engineering

We hand-write ad groups at the keyword-cluster level (5 – 8 keywords per group max) and match ad copy + landing page at the query level. Result: QS of 7 – 10 across 90% of account.

06
⚐

LinkedIn + Google Stack

For specification-sale buyers (medical, aerospace, industrial), we pair Google search intent with LinkedIn account-based retargeting for 2 – 3x assisted conversion lift.

Campaign Blueprint

How we structure an electronics account

Not one "electronics" campaign with 3,000 keywords. We build tightly-themed campaigns, each serving a distinct buyer and match type.

Campaign 01 · High-Intent Search

Commercial Head Terms

"Custom PCB manufacturer," "ems contract assembly," "EMS provider [industry]" — the queries procurement types when they're actively sourcing.

Budget
  • RFQ landing pages with capability-matched copy
  • Ad extensions: certifications, lead time, min order
  • Geo-targeting by state/region for domestic-preference buyers
  • Bid adjustments by hour-of-day (engineers search 9am-4pm)
Campaign 02 · Part Number Search

MPN & Cross-Reference

Engineers search specific part numbers when they can't find stock. Cheap clicks, high intent. Best cost-per-RFQ in the account.

  • Inventory feed sync via Google Ads Merchant Center
Campaign 03 · Vertical-Specific

Industry Application Search

"Automotive grade MOSFET supplier," "medical device PCB manufacturer," "aerospace contract EMS" — high-value vertical searches with regulatory requirements baked into intent.

Campaign 04 · Remarketing + LinkedIn

What electronics keywords actually cost

Current pricing from active Media Spearhead accounts in the US market. Your CPCs will vary by geo, time of year, and competitor density — but this is the ballpark.

Sub-Vertical Sample Keyword Avg CPC CTR Conv Rate Cost / RFQ
PCB Fab (2-12 layer) "custom pcb manufacturer" $22 6.1% 9.2% $239
EMS Assembly "contract electronics manufacturing" $35 5.4% 8.6% $407
Medical Device EMS "iso 13485 contract manufacturer" $48 6.8% 11.4% $421
Component Distribution "[part number] distributor" $8 8.9% 12.2% $66
Automotive Electronics "iatf 16949 pcb manufacturer" $42 5.9% 8.8% $477
Aerospace / Defense "as9100 electronics manufacturer" $52 5.2% 9.6% $541
Industrial IoT Modules "lte iot module supplier" $18 6.4% 10.1% $178
Test & Measurement "spectrum analyzer calibration service" $14 7.1% 9.9% $141
Quality Score Engineering

We treat Quality Score as a revenue metric

Every +1 point in Quality Score cuts CPC by roughly 16%. In an electronics account with $45 avg CPC, going from 5 → 8 saves you $21.60 per click — and that money flows straight to ROAS.

Ad Group Segmentation

We cap every ad group at 5 – 8 tightly related keywords. No "miscellaneous" buckets. A PCB fab account typically has 40 – 80 ad groups on day one.

Ad Copy Keyword Echo

Every headline includes the ad group's seed keyword. Headline 2 reinforces intent ("Get RFQ in 48 Hours"). Headline 3 is the trust signal ("ISO 9001 · AS9100").

Landing Page Match

Each ad group has a matching landing page whose H1 mirrors the ad headline. Google's expected CTR and landing page experience scores both lift when this is done right.

Extension Stack

Sitelinks (capabilities), callouts (certifications, lead time), structured snippets (services), and location extensions — all populated for every campaign.

Mobile Experience

60% of first-touch electronics searches happen on mobile. LCP < 2.0s, forms with single-column layout, click-to-call in the sticky header. We test on real devices monthly.

Avg Order Value
Monthly revenue impact: 57 RFQs × 22% close × $18,400 AOV = ~$231K/month in closed orders. Against $24,800 total monthly investment ($22K ads + $2.8K mgmt), initial ROAS lands at 9.3x. With typical LTV extension (first order is 35% of customer LTV), blended year-one ROAS settles at 14 – 18x. Your actual mix will vary by vertical and AOV.
Common Questions

Electronics PPC FAQ

What's the minimum budget to see meaningful results?
For electronics B2B, $6,000 – $8,000/month in ad spend is the realistic floor. CPCs in this space run $15 – $50 on commercial terms, so you need enough budget to generate 200+ clicks/month minimum — otherwise you never accumulate the conversion data the algorithm needs to optimize. Below $5K/month, we'll usually tell you to invest in SEO first.
Do you work with Performance Max for electronics accounts?
Selectively. PMax is great for product-centric ecommerce (consumer electronics brands with Shopping feeds) but terrible for RFQ-driven B2B where the conversion is a form-fill, not a purchase. For B2B EMS/PCB clients we stay primarily on Search + DSA + Remarketing, with PMax only layered in if you have a real Shopping catalog.
How long before the account is profitable?
We typically hit positive blended ROAS inside 30 days for component distributors and consumer brands (faster cycles). For EMS and PCB fab with 60 – 120 day sales cycles, account profitability shows at day 60 – 90 as the first cohort of RFQs closes into real orders. Our onboarding sets CRM-integrated attribution so you see this in your dashboards, not ours.
Can you work with our existing landing pages or do we need new ones?
We can start with what you have, but most existing pages cost you 30 – 60% in Quality Score and conversion rate versus purpose-built LPs. Our pricing includes landing page design and iteration — see landing page pricing. We typically ship 4 – 8 campaign-specific pages in the first 45 days.
What's your management fee for electronics accounts?
Our standard pricing: $1,500/mo minimum on spends up to $10K/mo, then scaling as a percentage of spend (roughly 10 – 12% for $10 – 50K, 8 – 10% for $50 – 100K, custom at $100K+). No contracts, transparent reporting, you own all ad accounts and analytics.
How do you handle export-controlled or ITAR products in ad copy?
We coordinate with your compliance team during onboarding to define safe vs. restricted language. Public ad copy references capability categories (e.g., "aerospace-grade manufacturing") without disclosing controlled product specifics. Detailed specs stay behind gated RFQ forms where citizenship/ITAR eligibility can be verified.
