ZAPX
Why “set‑and‑forget SEM” wastes budget in 2026
We build account structures that learn
Performance Max harvests incremental demand; Search protects brand and mines high‑intent queries. YouTube and Discovery scale creative reach, all tied to one measurement framework.
Measurement you can trust
Consent‑aware tagging + clean data exports = reporting your CFO can sign off. Fewer arguments, faster scaling.

What is included in our SEM services?
When you partner with Zapx, you’ll gain access to our complete SEM program designed to capture demand and create it — while staying compliant:
Google Search Ads Management

- Location/call assets, business hours, and phone routing
- Budget split and bid policies by margin & funnel stage
- Brands needing defendable demand capture
- Lead gen with complex SKUs/services

Performance Max (Search + Shopping + YouTube)
All Google inventory, one governed system. We feed PMax quality assets and audience signals; then set guardrails, budgets and experiments. We read incrementality and query insights, and scale winners across asset groups. What we do:- Asset groups by category/intent and 1P audience signals
