SaaS and startup campaigns
Search ads tied to sign-ups, trials and demos, measured on pipeline.
Search, Shopping and Performance Max campaigns for Austin software companies, consumer brands, hospitality businesses and home service firms, measured on customers.
Austin, TX, United States, served remotely from Pune, India
Quavento Technologies manages Google Ads for businesses in Austin, Texas. We build and run Search, Shopping, Performance Max and Local Services campaigns in your own Google Ads account, track sign-ups, calls and sales and report on cost per customer instead of cost per click. We work remotely from Pune, India, hold calls between 8 am and 11 am Central Time and bill in US dollars.
Austin's advertisers are an unusual mix. Software companies and startups compete for buyers across the whole country. Food, drink and wellness brands sell nationally from a local base. Restaurants, venues and food trailers depend on what is happening tonight, and home service companies in Round Rock, Cedar Park and Pflugerville meet a steady flow of newcomers who know nobody to call.
Each of these needs a different kind of campaign. This page explains how we approach them and what you can fairly expect. We do not guarantee rankings, leads or a cost per sign-up.
For the full picture of what is included, see our Paid Media & Performance Marketing overview, including Google Ads Management and Google Search Ads. We apply the same approach for hotels & travel businesses, contractors & home service businesses and manufacturers.

It works when the campaign follows the buyer's research and the measurement follows the money. Few people search for a product they have never heard of. They search for the problem, then for kinds of tools, then for particular vendors and comparisons. Ads can meet buyers at each of those points, with different messages and different costs.
We build campaigns around high-intent searches, such as the category name, the alternatives to a competitor and the specific job a tool does, and keep broad, curious searches in a separate, smaller budget. Landing pages are matched to each group, with a clear next step, whether a trial, a demo or a short product tour.
We measure sign-ups and demo requests at first, and then connect to your CRM so that the number that matters is pipeline and revenue. Software buying cycles can be long, and we are honest about how many weeks or months a test needs before the data is worth acting on.
Software categories attract advertisers with high customer values, so bids for the best terms are high. A business that earns thousands of dollars from each customer can afford to pay a lot for a click, and smaller companies are pushed out of those auctions if they bid the same way.
We look for the terms where your offer is strongest, such as a narrow use case, an integration, an industry or a competitor your product handles better, where fewer advertisers compete and the searcher is closer to buying. We also use negative keywords hard, since terms such as free, jobs, tutorial and open source can eat a budget.
Quality matters as much as bids. A relevant ad and a fast, clear page can win a better position at a lower price than a bigger bid on a weak page. We test headlines and pages steadily, one change at a time, and keep a record of what we tried.
Through product feeds, margin-aware targets and careful use of automation. Austin is home to many food, beverage, wellness and lifestyle brands that sell online and through stores. For them, Shopping and Performance Max show products directly in the results, and a clean feed is the foundation.
We fix Merchant Center errors, improve titles and images, group products by margin and set a target return on ad spend that reflects real costs, including shipping and returns. We check how much of the result comes from searches for your own brand name, which would often have found you anyway, and keep standard campaigns running beside Performance Max so that you can see what drives sales.
For brands that sell in stores, we can add campaigns that send people to where-to-buy pages, and for seasonal products we plan budgets ahead of the peak. We separate new customers from existing ones where the data allows, because the value of the two differs.
With campaigns built around where they live. The Austin region has grown quickly, and suburbs such as Round Rock, Cedar Park, Leander, Georgetown, Pflugerville, Kyle, Buda and San Marcos are large cities with their own customers. A provider in one is not always the first choice in another.
We target by ZIP code, city and radius, and set ad schedules to match when your phones are answered. Home service businesses often serve a handful of suburbs, and we build campaigns and landing pages for each, with something true to say about your work there, instead of a copied page with the city name swapped.
Local Services Ads suit many trades, including plumbers, electricians, air conditioning firms and cleaners, with a Google guarantee or verified badge and a per-lead charge. We help with approval, complete the profile and manage budgets, and run it beside Search campaigns. Our guide to Local Services Ads and Google Ads explains when each fits.
By being present at the moment they have no existing provider. People who have just moved search for a dentist, a pediatrician, a mechanic, a veterinarian, an internet provider and a plumber, usually within weeks of arrival, and they pay close attention to reviews and map results.
Search campaigns for those categories work well when the ad is clear, the business has strong ratings and the landing page makes booking easy. We also use audience signals and, where appropriate, ads timed to the busy moving seasons. For some businesses, a welcome offer for new residents can help, as long as it is real and honestly described.
We keep an eye on the Google Business Profile, since the map results often decide the call, and recommend steady, honest review collection. We do not write or buy reviews, which break Google's rules and risk the profile.
With ads tied to timing and accurate information. Austin has a famous live music scene, major festivals, a large restaurant and food trailer culture and a steady stream of visitors to the Hill Country and the lakes. People decide what to do on a phone, often the same day, and see the hours and reviews before they choose.
For a venue, we combine ads on the name and category with event pages and ticket links, and raise budgets ahead of big weekends and festivals. For a restaurant or trailer, we make sure hours, locations and menus are right, since an ad that sends someone to a closed door wastes money and earns a bad review.
Tour operators, wineries, outfitters and rental companies in the Hill Country plan their campaigns by season and weather, with ads for people planning ahead from other cities and ads for people already in town. We set location options to match, since visitors search from home, not from the venue.
Yes, with realistic expectations. As the state capital, Austin has many associations, advocacy groups and companies that sell to government. Their audiences are small and specific, so Search campaigns usually target a narrow list of terms, such as the name of a program, a certification or a solicitation type.
For associations, Google offers a grant program for eligible nonprofits that provides free advertising credit with certain limits. If you qualify, we can set up and manage a grant account, which has its own rules about what it may spend and how ads must perform. We are honest about what the grant can and cannot do.
For government vendors, paid search is usually a supporting tool, and relationships and registrations carry most of the weight. We say so, and use campaigns to support specific offers instead of promising a flood of leads.
The first month is an audit and a build. We review the account, repair tracking and connect sign-ups or sales to Google Ads. A first set of campaigns goes live on the highest-intent searches at a modest budget, so that mistakes stay cheap.
The second month is learning. Search terms and early results show which promises attract real customers, and we cut the rest. Software companies see how trials and demos behave. Local businesses see which suburbs call.
By the third month there is enough data to judge whether the channel can work at your budget. We say plainly whether to grow, hold or stop, and what the Austin numbers suggest about cost per customer.
We follow each enquiry to the outcome that counts. Google Analytics 4, Tag Manager, Google Ads conversions and call tracking are set up first, and where possible closed sales or signed customers are sent back to Google Ads so that bidding favors the searches that produce them. For software accounts, the number to watch is pipeline, and for local ones it is calls and bookings.
You own the account, the Analytics property and the billing card, and our manager access can be removed at any time. We are based in Pune, India, with no Austin office, and we learn your market from you, from the data and from research. Calls are held between 8 am and 11 am Central Time.
A written report follows each month. If your site holds results back, see our web design for Austin.

Google Ads management is a monthly fee in US dollars, separate from the advertising budget that you pay to Google on your own card. The fee reflects the number of campaigns, how often ads and pages need refreshing and the reporting you need. Account setup or a rebuild is a one-time fee. A written proposal sets out both, with the budget we think Austin's prices call for in your category. If it is too small for the cost per click you face, we tell you before you spend it.
Our team works from Pune, India. We do not have a US office, so every project is run remotely with a named project manager, a weekly call and written updates. These are the hours we keep for calls with US clients.
