PPC Management for businesses in California
PPC (pay-per-click) management is planning, building and continuously optimising paid search and paid social campaigns. We deliver it for US businesses in California, with pricing in USD and the local rules below built into the work.
Most wasted ad spend traces back to two things: tracking that counts the wrong conversions, and automated bidding left to optimise towards them. We fix measurement first, then structure campaigns so Google's and Meta's automation has accurate signals to learn from.
What's different about ppc management in California
The fundamentals are the same everywhere. These are the local rules and habits that change how we set the work up for US businesses.
- California's CCPA, as amended by the CPRA, applies to businesses above its thresholds (for example, annual revenue of around $25 million, inflation-adjusted) and requires a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" option and honouring Global Privacy Control signals.
- The largest state economy in the US and its biggest market for tech, entertainment and ecommerce, which also makes paid search here among the most competitive.
- About two in five Californians are Hispanic or Latino, so Spanish-language landing pages and ad groups are often worth testing.
- Consent and tracking
- There is no single federal privacy law. California's CCPA/CPRA and comprehensive laws in states such as Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas and Oregon govern tracking, opt-outs and data sales, and California requires honouring Global Privacy Control signals.
- Advertising and follow-up rules
- CAN-SPAM governs commercial email (clear sender identity and a working opt-out). The TCPA governs marketing texts and calls and requires prior express written consent for automated marketing SMS.
- Campaign languages
- English, with a large Spanish-speaking audience in many states that often justifies Spanish-language campaigns and landing pages.
- Working hours and ad scheduling
- India is 12.5 hours (summer) to 13.5 hours (winter) ahead of Pacific time. We schedule calls in your morning, which is our evening, and work briefed in your afternoon is delivered by your next morning.
