Is Google Ads worth it in a market of a market of 28k?
Yes if the math works — Whitehorse is small enough that wasted spend is obvious and large enough that territorial government demand exists. We build the account to that scale. Vanity networks and unused Performance Max are how small cities get burned.
If the TAM cannot support the CPA, we say so before you launch.
Can you run ads without being based in Whitehorse?
Yes. Whitehorse PPC is targeting, copy, and landing pages — not a cubicle downtown. We still write like Porter Creek, not like a call centre. The account settings do the geography; the copy does the trust.
You get Canadian humans, not an overseas bid farm.
When do we know Whitehorse ads are working?
When Whitehorse PPC produces tracked leads at a CPA you can live with — not when CTR looks pretty. We instrument calls and forms first. Two weeks of “optimizing headlines” with no conversion tracking is a hobby.
Miles Canyon brand terms can flatter you. We separate them.
Should Whitehorse businesses run ads and SEO together?
Almost always. Ads teach which territorial government phrases convert; SEO keeps them when you stop paying. Doing one in a silo is how Yukon companies pay twice for the same lesson.
We share the query list across both briefs.
Do you do Shopping and Performance Max in Whitehorse?
When the feed and the margin deserve it. We do not turn on every Google surface because a checklist said so. Whitehorse retail is not a demo account.
Search remains the default until the numbers argue.
