Performance Marketing Agency with Technical Depth

Most agencies optimise campaigns. We optimise the entire system behind them. That’s why we don’t just work with Google Ads — we master all eight Google products, from data collection through tracking to conversion.

We also rely on automation and custom scripts that replace manual processes. This saves time and delivers results that are not achievable with standard tools. At the same time, all data stays with you — we work in your accounts, not ours.

Especially for companies that already run Google Ads but aren’t satisfied with the results, a technical analysis is worthwhile. The problem is often not in the campaign itself, but in the tracking, feed, or landing page. That’s why we start every partnership with a free audit of all relevant Google products.

What sets us apart is not the volume of budgets managed, but the technical depth of our work. We debug GTM containers, configure Server-Side Tracking, and optimise Shopping feeds — tasks where generic agencies fail. We work exclusively with white-hat methods and strictly adhere to Google’s guidelines.

Technical Expertise

Server-Side Tracking, Custom GTM Templates, automated feed optimisation. We solve the problems that others can’t.

📊

Data-Driven Decisions

No gut-feel optimisation. Every measure is based on real data from GA4, Search Console, and your Ads accounts.

🔧

Custom Automations

Custom scripts for bid management, feed optimisation, and reporting. More performance with less manual effort.

🎯

ROI Focus

We optimise for conversions and revenue — not clicks or impressions. Your budget should work, not burn.

Services

Three Pillars for Measurable Growth

Each pillar works independently. Together they deliver maximum impact — because SEA, SEO, and tracking reinforce each other.

01 — SEA

Google Ads Campaigns

From keyword research through ad creation to conversion optimisation. We don’t just analyse your campaigns — we also review tracking and landing pages. Without a clean data foundation, even the best ads are ineffective. You get not just better click rates, but also more qualified leads.

02 — SEO

Search Engine Optimisation

Technical SEO, content strategy, and local SEO for organic rankings that last. We also integrate your SEO efforts with Google Business Profile and Search Console. This lets us identify indexing issues early and respond precisely. Especially for local businesses, this combination is decisive.

03 — TRACKING

GA4, GTM & Consent Mode

Without clean tracking, there are no good decisions. That’s why we set up GA4, Google Tag Manager, and Consent Mode correctly — GDPR-compliant and complete. We also implement Enhanced Conversions and Server-Side Tracking so you don’t lose any conversion data. This automatically improves your campaign results too.

Target Groups

Who We Work For

We work across industries — but most frequently with these types of businesses. The common thread: the willingness to grow data-driven.

🏥

Healthcare

Specialist practices & private physicians · Dentists, orthodontists & implantologists · Private & specialist clinics · Aesthetics, longevity & functional medicine · Therapists & practitioners

Focus: More self-pay patients, bookable appointments, local visibility

🔧

Trades & Services

Plumbing, heating & HVAC · Electricians & construction · Painters, roofers & renovation · Cleaning & home services · Moving & facility services

Focus: Qualified leads instead of price inquiries, full order books

🛒

E-Commerce

D2C brands · Shopify & WooCommerce shops · Niche & specialty stores · Amazon & marketplace sellers · Subscription models

Focus: Increase ROAS, scale profitably, boost conversions

💼

B2B & Professional Services

Agencies & consultancies · Tax advisors & law firms · SaaS & digital products · Real estate & financial services · Education & coaching

Focus: High-quality leads, less waste, clear positioning

⚙️

Industry & Manufacturing

Mechanical engineering (e.g. CNC) · Plant construction & production · Wholesale & suppliers · Technical services · Export-oriented companies

Focus: High-value B2B inquiries, international reach

For example, we work with dental practices that attract new patients through local SEO and Google Business Profile. At the same time, we help trade businesses generate targeted inquiries from their region via Google Ads. The common denominator is always the same: measurable results and a clear return on investment.

We also support e-commerce companies in optimising their shopping feeds in Google Merchant Center. Faulty product data costs not just rankings, but also revenue. That’s why we systematically review feed quality, imagery, and landing page consistency in every project.

It’s not about using as many tools as possible. Rather, we ensure that all products work together cleanly. A GA4 setup without correct GTM tracking delivers wrong data — and consequently, your campaign decisions are based on faulty numbers. That’s exactly what we prevent.

You also benefit from our experience with Consent Mode v2. Many companies lose up to 30% of their conversion data through faulty cookie banner implementations. That’s why we review the consent configuration in every project — ensuring your data is collected completely and in compliance with GDPR.

Process

From Analysis to Results

Every partnership starts with a free audit. We analyse ads, SEO, and tracking in one step.

1

Audit

Free audit of all your Google products. We identify the real problems.

2

Strategy

Data-driven plan with clear KPIs. You know exactly what we do and why.

3

Implementation

Technical setup, content, and campaigns. Fast and clean.

4

Scaling

Ongoing optimisation and monthly reporting with real numbers.

In the free audit, we analyse all relevant Google products: your Ads accounts, SEO performance, tracking setup, and landing pages. We typically identify 5–10 concrete optimisation opportunities. We then create a prioritised action plan with realistic goals and measurable KPIs.

We also place great emphasis on transparency. You receive monthly reports with all relevant metrics — no inflated dashboards, but the numbers that count: conversions, cost per lead, and return on ad spend. This way you always know whether your investment is worthwhile.

In every project we also combine SEA, SEO, and tracking into an integrated system. A Google Ads campaign without clean tracking is like driving without a speedometer. That’s why we start every partnership with a complete audit of all relevant Google products.

FAQ

What You Should Know About Performance Marketing

What is Performance Marketing?

Performance marketing is a data-driven form of online marketing in which every measure is evaluated based on measurable results. Unlike traditional advertising, you don’t pay for reach, but for concrete outcomes — clicks, leads, or sales. Performance marketing is therefore particularly suitable for companies that want to use their budget efficiently.

Performance marketing also covers various channels: Google Ads (SEA), search engine optimisation (SEO), social media advertising, and affiliate marketing. The combination of paid and organic search is particularly effective — whoever is visible in both ads and organic results dominates the search results page.

Why Do I Need a Performance Marketing Agency?

A specialised performance marketing agency brings three key advantages: technical know-how, experience from hundreds of projects, and access to tools that would be too expensive for individual companies. The correct setup of tracking, conversion measurement, and attribution models in particular requires deep technical understanding.

Working with an agency also saves internal resources. Instead of training an employee, you immediately benefit from the expertise of a team that works with Google Ads, GA4, GTM, and Search Console every day. The investment in an agency typically pays off within the first 3–6 months.

How Much Does Performance Marketing Cost?

Costs depend on the scope of measures. At 1hold.de, the monthly flat rate starts from €800 for SEO consulting and from €500 for Google Ads management. It’s important to understand: agency costs are only part of the budget. In addition, there is the advertising spend for Google Ads, which goes directly to Google.

However, the decisive factor is not the absolute price, but the return on investment. A well-optimised campaign with a €2,000 monthly budget can be significantly more profitable than a poorly managed one with €10,000. That’s why we place great emphasis on transparency and monthly reporting of all relevant KPIs.

What Makes a Good Performance Marketing Agency?

A good performance marketing agency works transparently, data-driven, and with measurable goals. Look for the following criteria: Google certification, experience with your business model, clear reporting structures, and no long-term contracts. If the results are right, there’s no need for a contractual commitment.

A good agency should also not just run campaigns, but understand the entire digital ecosystem. This means: tracking implementation, landing page optimisation, and SEO are just as much part of the service spectrum as running ads. The integration of all Google products in particular is a quality feature that makes the difference.
