Paid Media
Performance Advertising Built for Measurable Growth
Paid media should do more than generate clicks – it should create momentum. We design and manage performance advertising systems that capture demand, influence decisions, and scale results across search and intent-driven platforms.
By combining AI-driven optimization, strategic oversight, and continuous testing, we help organizations turn paid media into a predictable growth engine – not an unpredictable expense.
When Paid Media Stops Performing, Growth Slows
Many teams invest heavily in paid advertising but struggle to sustain results. Costs rise, performance fluctuates, and it becomes harder to explain what’s actually driving outcomes.
Common challenges include:
- Inconsistent ROI and unclear attribution
- Campaigns that generate traffic but not meaningful actions
- Fragmented channels that don’t support each other
- Limited insight into what’s working, what’s wasting spend, and what’s scalable
Without a unified system, paid media becomes reactive instead of strategic.
A Unified Paid Media System – Not Isolated Campaigns
We don’t treat search, video, and consulting as separate services. We build integrated paid media systems designed around how people discover, evaluate, and decide.
Our approach combines:
- High-intent demand capture through search
- Demand creation and reinforcement through video
- Strategic auditing and consulting to eliminate inefficiency and unlock growth
Every strategy is tailored to your audience, conversion goals, and growth stage – whether you’re generating leads, sales, bookings, signups, or multi-step conversions.
How We Drive Results Across Channels
Effective paid search isn’t just about spending more — it’s about making every click count. Finch’s ecommerce paid search expertise helps you put your products in front of highly relevant buyers when they’re ready to purchase.
Search Advertising
We manage and optimize search campaigns across major search platforms, like Google and Bing, helping you appear when people are actively looking for what you offer. Campaigns are structured for clarity, efficiency, and measurable outcomes – not vanity metrics.
We focus on:
- Intent-driven keyword strategy and audience targeting
- AI-assisted bidding and real-time optimization
- Conversion alignment across ads, landing pages, and tracking
The goal is simple: capture demand efficiently and turn intent into action.
YouTube Advertising
Not all decisions start with a search query. Video allows you to influence intent earlier – building awareness, trust, and consideration before prospects ever click an ad.
We design video campaigns that:
- Support awareness, consideration, and demand generation
- Reinforce search messaging and improve downstream performance
- Retarget and re-engage high-value audiences
YouTube works best when it complements search, not competes with it. Our strategies ensure each channel strengthens the other.
PPC Audits & Consulting
Sometimes the biggest gains come from fixing what already exists. Our audit and consulting engagements provide clarity, direction, and actionable insight – without locking you into long-term management.
We help teams:
- Identify wasted spend and structural inefficiencies
- Improve tracking, attribution, and measurement accuracy
- Uncover missed opportunities across keywords, audiences, and platforms
- Build a clear roadmap for scalable performance
Whether you manage campaigns internally, work with another agency, or need a strategic reset, our consulting is designed to elevate performance – not just review it.
Built for Teams That Care About Outcomes
We work with organizations across industries, business models, and growth stages. What they share is a need for paid media that performs, adapts, and scales.
Our systems-first mindset ensures:
- Channels work together instead of in silos
- Budget flows to what actually drives results
- Performance improves predictably over time
No templates. No guesswork. Just intentional, measurable growth.
Our Paid Search Process Explained
Finch’s systematic approach to paid search ensures every campaign is rooted in data, optimized for performance, and aligned with your business goals.
Audit & Strategy
We start by understanding your goals, audience, and current performance. This includes account reviews, data validation, and opportunity analysis to establish a clear baseline.
Build & Launch
Campaigns are built or restructured with clean architecture, intentional targeting, and aligned messaging – designed to support both short-term results and long-term scalability.
Optimize & Scale
Paid media is never static. We continuously test, refine, and adapt campaigns based on performance signals, market shifts, and evolving customer behavior.
Why Paid Media Still Matters
When done correctly, paid media remains one of the most reliable ways to create predictable growth. It captures real demand, accelerates decision-making, and provides feedback loops that inform broader marketing strategy.
Our role is to remove friction, increase efficiency, and help your paid media work harder – not louder.

FAQs
Questions about paid search? We’ve got the answers.
What are paid media services?
Paid media services involve using advertising platforms to promote products or services in exchange for a media spend. These services typically include strategy, campaign management, optimization, and measurement across search, video, and intent-based platforms.
Finch’s paid media services focus on generating measurable business outcomes rather than impressions or clicks alone.
What is paid search advertising?
Paid search advertising places ads on search engines when users actively search for specific terms or solutions. It is designed to capture high-intent demand at the moment someone is looking to take action.
Finch manages paid search campaigns using intent-based keyword strategy, AI-assisted optimization, and conversion-aligned measurement.
What platforms does Finch support for paid search?
Finch supports major search advertising platforms, including Google Ads and Microsoft Ads. Platform selection is based on audience behavior, business goals, and performance efficiency rather than default channel preferences.
What is YouTube advertising used for?
YouTube advertising is used to influence demand earlier in the customer journey by reaching audiences through video content before a direct search occurs.
Finch uses YouTube advertising to build awareness, support consideration, reinforce search campaigns, and improve overall paid media performance through retargeting and funnel alignment.
How does YouTube advertising work with paid search?
YouTube advertising and paid search work best when integrated. Video campaigns help introduce or reinforce messaging, while search campaigns capture demand when users are ready to act.
Finch designs paid media systems where YouTube and search support each other rather than operating as isolated channels.
