Dedicated Team,
Advanced Google Ads Skills,
Peace of Mind.
At ZATO, your Google Ads are managed by senior PPC experts, not interns. We're the Technical Google Ads Partner for Ecommerce Brands. Your $75,000* per month spend is too complex for a generalist agency, but too small to be taken seriously by some international ad syndicate. We are the PPC specialists who engineer the technical infrastructure, algorithmic-based bidding, and data hygiene that generalist agencies overlook, and interns miss.
No creative fluff. No junior managers. Just pure performance engineering.

How ZATO Manages Your PPC Accounts:
The Specialist Advantage: Performance Engineering for the Ecommerce Brand Spending $25K-500K/mo on Google Ads.
At ZATO, we don’t try to be your creative agency, your email partner, or your fractional CMO. We believe that being "good" at everything is the enemy of being the best in the world at one thing.
For brands spending $50,000+ per month, Google Ads has become too complex for generalists. You don’t need a "manager" to watch your spend; you need an engineer to audit the algorithm. But the unfortuante reality is, for the big agencies: you're the small account who gets the intern.
At ZATO, we manage your Google Search, Shopping, PMax, and YouTube campaigns through a framework of Technical Stability and Aggressive Scrutiny:
👉 Technical Stability: We move beyond the "set and forget" automation of big-box agencies. We architect your account for long-term profitability, ensuring your tracking, scripts, and feed architecture are built to withstand platform shifts and drive Incremental Lift, not just "vanity" ROAS.
👉 Aggressive Scrutiny: Every ZATO account is managed by a seasoned expert (10+ years of avg experience!), not a junior hire. We subject your data to daily manual reviews, including things like regular ad testing and custom query analysis to "un-box" Google’s automation, identifying waste and reallocating spend to what actually moves the needle.
👉 Our Focus: Your Contribution Margin
We speak the language of the operator. Whether your goal is Revenue, ROAS, MER (Marketing Efficiency Ratio), or CM (Contribution Margin), we integrate your business logic (including COGS and inventory levels) directly into your bidding strategy. We don't just find clicks; we protect your margins.
👉 The Specialist’s Promise
We are not a full-service agency, and that is our greatest strength. We don’t advise on supply chains or design your UGC. We are aggressively focused on being the most technically proficient Google Ads surgeons in the industry. If you have the creative vision and the business foundation, we build the Google Ads engine that drives it. Some prefer freelancers to agencies, and due to ZATO's micro-size and advanced experience experts, we're more like a team of specialist freelancers than a traditional agency!
👉 Affordability That Isn't Handcuffs
We operate on a month-to-month basis because we believe a technical partner should earn their place on your P&L every single day. Our pricing reflects the newer reality of AI usage along with the role of tactical PPCers in your broader organization. We get that we're not building the creative and products of growth, so we price according to our single channel management.
