Google Ads Setup & Handover from Viet SEO helps businesses prepare their advertising accounts and campaigns for in-house management. We agree on a scope based on your goals, budget and existing account, covering campaign structure, ad content, conversion measurement and practical operating guidance.

Once the agreed work is accepted, your team takes over with account access and configuration documentation. Setup fees, advertising spend paid to Google and any additional work are listed separately in the quotation.

Who is this service for?

Businesses with an internal marketing team that needs help with the initial setup.
Business owners who want to manage their own advertising budget and account.
Companies with a working website or landing page that need campaigns and conversion measurement configured before launch.
Businesses that want an existing account reviewed and reorganized before an internal team takes over.

If you need regular monitoring, optimization and reporting, explore our Google Ads management service.

What does Google Ads setup include?

1. Account review and goal planning

We review your products or services, target locations, customers and proposed budget. If you already have an account, we assess its configuration and access before recommending changes. If a new account is needed, we agree on its creation and access arrangements with your business.

Your designated team receives the appropriate administrative access to continue operating after handover. Collaboration uses account permissions rather than sharing personal passwords.

2. Campaign structure and configuration

For Search campaigns, the agreed work may include keyword research, ad groups organized around products or customer needs, match types, an initial negative keyword list, location targeting and ad schedules. Budget and bidding settings are configured around the agreed objectives.

The quotation specifies campaign types, campaign and ad group counts, languages and target markets. Shopping, Performance Max, video campaigns and product feeds require a separate assessment of available data and creative assets.

3. Ad content and landing-page review

We prepare ad copy from the information your business supplies, select destination pages and configure relevant ad assets. Your team approves business claims, offers and contact details before they are used.

We review whether the landing page supports the advertised offer and provides working contact or enquiry options. Website redesign, custom development, photography and video production are quoted separately when required.

4. Conversion measurement and checks

We agree on the actions to measure, such as a successfully submitted enquiry form or a completed purchase. Depending on your website and access permissions, implementation may use the Google tag, Google Tag Manager or Google Analytics 4 data.

The agreed events are tested within the technical scope. Configuration details, test results and remaining limitations are documented for handover. A click on a telephone number, Zalo or Messenger link records that click; it does not by itself confirm a completed call, conversation or sale.

For background information, see Google's guide to conversion measurement.

5. Operating guidance and handover

Guidance focuses on practical tasks: checking campaign status, reviewing costs and conversions, changing budgets, pausing ads, reviewing search terms when data is available and identifying issues that need attention.

The training format, number of sessions and post-handover support period are specified in the quotation.

What will your team receive?

Account access record: relevant accounts, designated contacts and access levels confirmed at handover.
Campaign configuration: agreed campaigns, ad groups, keywords, ads, budgets and targeting settings.
Measurement documentation: conversion events, recording methods, test results and items requiring further monitoring.
Operating instructions: guidance on checking spend, reading reports, making basic changes and pausing campaigns.
Handover checklist: completed work, outstanding items, the receiving team member and any agreed follow-up support.

Ad review status is recorded separately. Completing the configuration does not mean Google has approved every ad or that the campaign has already generated real customer conversions.

How the service works

Initial assessment: review your website, account, offer, budget and internal team's needs.
Scope and quotation: agree on deliverables, fees, timing, documentation and acceptance criteria.
Implementation: configure campaigns, ad content and measurement within the approved scope.
Checks and approval: review settings, test events and confirm budgets and responsibilities. Campaign activation is agreed with your business.
Training and handover: provide documentation, confirm access and transfer day-to-day responsibility to your team.

Setup fees and delivery time

Pricing depends on the number of campaigns, markets, languages, existing account condition and measurement complexity. Advertising spend paid to Google is separate from the setup fee. Ongoing campaign management is an additional service unless expressly included.

Delivery timing is confirmed after reviewing the account, website and required assets. The quotation identifies applicable taxes, payment terms, revision rounds, training arrangements and the support period. Additional work is agreed before implementation.

What should your business prepare?

Product or service details, pricing, offers and service areas.
A working website or landing page with contact information and enquiry options.
Access to the existing Google Ads account and, where needed, the website, GA4 property or Google Tag Manager container.
A proposed advertising budget and a payment method managed by your business.
A contact who approves content and a team member who will operate the account after handover.

Frequently asked questions

How does setup and handover differ from Google Ads management?

Setup and handover is a project with defined deliverables that prepares your team to run the account. Ongoing management covers monitoring, adjustments and reporting over an agreed service period. Choose according to your team's availability and experience.

Can you work with our existing account?

Yes, subject to reviewing access, configuration and account status. Any issues that need to be resolved before implementation are discussed separately.

Can we change the budget ourselves after handover?

Yes, with the appropriate account permissions. Guidance covers budget changes and cost checks. Your team should continue monitoring performance because changes to budgets, ads, market conditions or the website can affect results.

Does the service guarantee sales?

No. Setup alone cannot guarantee sales. Results depend on demand, competition, budget, the offer, landing pages and how enquiries are handled. Acceptance is based on the agreed configuration, checks and handover deliverables.

Is support available after handover?

The support period and covered topics are stated in the quotation or agreement. Businesses that need regular optimization can arrange an ongoing management service.
