B2B SEA puts your brand at the top for decision-makers

Google Ads for B2B: capture active demand in the market and turn it into valuable leads

From direct conversion to brand awareness

From direct conversion to brand awareness

With SEA, we don't just focus on the 5% of your target audience who are in the market right now. We also make sure the other 95% get to know your brand, so you're top of mind as soon as they want to buy.

More value from every click

More value from every click

We identify companies that come to your website through ads and can approach them again later. That way you get more value from every click and make the most of SEA in your marketing and sales.

A brand-driven approach

A brand-driven approach

Every ad fits your brand strategy and tone of voice. No generic copy, but copy that feels like an extension of your brand and strengthens your positioning.

How can you use Google Ads for the B2B market?

Only 5% of your target audience is active in the market. Google Ads helps you capture that group directly. At the same time, SEA lets you build brand awareness among the remaining 95%. That way you also reach future clients and combine short-term and long-term results.

We know search volumes in B2B are often lower. That's why we use smart software to identify companies that arrive on your website through ads. We can approach these companies again later through retargeting, so you don't miss an opportunity.

How we use SEA as part of a strong B2B marketing strategy

SEA has a clear place in your marketing strategy: capturing existing demand. For the 5% who are actively searching, we use search ads, Shopping ads and YouTube. For the 95% who aren't in-market yet, we use Google Display and YouTube to build brand awareness.

The more we do with SEA, the more sharply we can target your audience. We take a critical look at your landing pages and make sure everything is properly measurable. SEA needs time to show results: in the first month we give the algorithm room to learn, then we optimise step by step towards better performance.

Any more questions about B2B SEA?

How can SEO and SEA reinforce each other in a B2B market?

SEO and SEA share the same keyword insights and audience knowledge. SEA provides fast data on which keywords convert, which we use to set SEO priorities. SEO content can serve as a landing page for ads, while SEA gives immediate visibility for competitive keywords where SEO needs more time. Together, they ensure maximum visibility in search results.

Does Google Shopping also work in B2B marketing?

Google Shopping can work for B2B products that can be bought online, such as software, tools or materials. For more complex B2B services, we use Shopping ads to showcase products and spark interest, with conversion happening through contact rather than direct sales. It mainly helps with brand awareness and attracting new prospects.

How can you use Google Ads effectively and efficiently for B2B clients?

We focus on long-tail keywords with lower competition but higher intent. By using negative keywords and precise targeting, we avoid wasting money on unnecessary clicks. We also run branded campaigns to keep competitors at bay and use different bidding strategies for different campaign goals: from brand awareness to direct conversions.

What is unique about the way Partout approaches SEA in the B2B market?

We use SEA as part of a broader brand strategy, not as standalone campaigns. We focus both on the 5% who are in-market and on brand awareness among the 95% who aren't. By integrating identification software and retargeting, we get more value from every ad. We also make sure all ads match your brand identity and tone of voice.

Can I start small and scale up my campaigns later?

We often start with a limited budget and a few campaigns to learn what works for your target audience. Based on results and learnings, we expand to more campaign types, channels and budgets. The algorithm needs time to learn, so patience in the first few months pays off later.

Can you support my in-house marketing team in setting up SEA campaigns for our B2B clients?

We offer training and support for your own team, provide campaign templates and help set up processes. We can also work in a hybrid way: you handle the day-to-day optimisation, we take care of the strategy and the more complex campaign settings. That way you build up your own knowledge while we safeguard the quality.

How quickly will we see results from B2B SEA campaigns?

The first month is a learning period for the algorithm, and you mainly collect data. After 6-8 weeks, campaigns start to stabilise and you see the first results. For brand awareness, it takes 3-6 months before you see an impact on other channels. Direct conversions can come sooner, depending on your audience and competition.

What can we expect in practice when working with Partout?

We start with an SEA audit and campaign strategy. We then set up campaigns, create ads that fit your brand and monitor performance. Every month we optimise based on data and report on the results. You get insight into what works and why, so you understand how SEA contributes to your wider marketing goals.
