The short version
What B2B growth should know
Google works for B2B if the ACV justifies the auction. With $22 to $120 CPL on a $20k ACV, payback is under six months.
Honest CPL matters more than headline CPL. Sales feedback into the optimisation event is the lever that separates winning B2B accounts from the rest.
Pipeline contribution, not last click ROAS, should be the dashboard metric for any board level conversation.

Why B2B growth should care about Google Ads
Google Ads owns intent. When someone types your category into Search, they have a problem they want solved today, which is why Search CPCs reward the bottom of the funnel more reliably than any social channel.
Performance Max collapses Search, Display, YouTube, Discover, Gmail, and Maps into one campaign type. Done right, it is the cleanest scaling lever in the stack. Done wrong, it cannibalises brand traffic you would have got organically.
The trick is signal hygiene. Conversion values uploaded daily, smart bidding fed real revenue, brand excluded from non brand asset groups. Skip the hygiene and PMax will burn budget on garbage placements within a week.

One place to run Google Ads, built for B2B growth
Pipeline contribution is the headline metric, last click is the footnote. On Meta, sales feedback can flow back through the Conversions API so the platform learns to bid for SQL quality; on every other channel that loop is manual today, and we say so rather than pretend. Google specifically benefits from our Signals for Google workflow, which we built around the way B2B growth actually run the platform.
The integration is a five-minute sign-in, and the daily brief watches spend, return and cost per lead for anything unusual. PMax is a black box. Without proper exclusion and asset group hygiene, spend leaks into brand search and irrelevant placements. We surface that in the brief so you spot it before the platform reports it.
