How do we give account access safely — MCC invite or direct login?

Always an MCC invite, never a shared login. Your manager sends an invitation from their Google Ads Manager (MCC) account and you accept it from your own admin. That keeps the account under your ownership, logs every change under a named user, and lets you revoke access in a single click if the engagement ends. Shared logins break multi-factor auth, create audit gaps, and sometimes trigger account suspensions for suspicious sign-in activity. If you already have an agency MCC linked, we can run alongside it without conflict.

What is a realistic ROAS target and how long until we hit it?

Realistic targets depend on your margin, average order value, and sales cycle. Ecommerce with healthy margins often runs at 3–5x ROAS on steady-state search, while lead-gen accounts track cost-per-qualified-lead instead. Your manager will set the baseline from your current data in week one, propose a target based on what the account can actually support, and report weekly against it. Expect 4–6 weeks to work through wasted spend and reach a stable baseline, then steady improvement from there. Anyone promising 10x ROAS in week one without looking at your data is guessing.

What happens if our Google Ads account gets suspended?

Suspensions usually come from landing page policy, misrepresentation, or payment verification issues — not day-to-day campaign work. Your manager runs a compliance pre-check against Google Ads policies during the week one audit and flags any risk areas on your site or offer before launching new campaigns. If a suspension happens during the engagement, your manager drafts the appeal, gathers supporting documentation, and handles communication with Google support. Most appeals resolve in 3–7 business days when the underlying issue is fixed properly.

How do you make sure conversion tracking is actually accurate?

Conversion tracking gets audited during week one against GA4, Google Tag Manager, and your CRM. Your manager checks for duplicate conversion firing, missing enhanced conversions, broken cross-domain tracking, and misattributed offline conversions. For lead-gen accounts we recommend sending qualified-lead and closed-won data back into Google Ads through offline conversion import so bidding optimizes against real revenue, not form fills. For ecommerce we verify purchase events fire once, carry transaction ID and value, and match what Shopify or your platform reports.

How do you protect us from budget overruns and runaway spend?

Every campaign launches with a daily budget cap, a shared budget if it makes sense, and an account-level alert that fires the moment daily spend deviates more than 20% from baseline. Bid strategy changes roll out one campaign at a time with a 7-day observation window before broader application. Your manager never shifts budgets above your written monthly ceiling without written approval, and weekly reports show spend-to-date against target so you never get surprised by a month-end bill. Mistakes happen — structural guardrails keep them small.

How does timezone work between Houston and an offshore virtual assistant?

Your offshore hire overlaps your Houston workday from roughly 9am to 3pm CT. That covers morning standups with field crews, vendor calls, and the bulk of your inbox. Reporting, lease work, and data pulls run overnight and are ready by the time you get in.

Do you work with Houston energy companies, medical groups, and logistics firms?

Yes. Most Houston clients are in oil and gas around the Energy Corridor, medical practices and specialty clinics near the Texas Medical Center, and freight and 3PL operators tied to the port. We staff for land admin, AP/AR, patient coordination, and dispatch support built around those industries.

How fast can a Houston business bring on an offshore hire?

Houston business culture is direct and timeline-driven. Book a 15-minute intro, tell us the role, and we shortlist 3 vetted candidates within 5 business days. Most Houston clients interview on day 6 and onboard by day 10, often in time for the next AFE or project close.

How does offshore hiring compare to Houston's local talent market?

Houston talent is competitive for energy and medical roles but commodity cycles make hiring velocity unpredictable. A mid-level land analyst in the Energy Corridor closes at $75,000–$95,000 base when crude is high and the market disappears completely when it is not. Medical office managers near TMC now run $80,000–$95,000 because of MD Anderson wage pressure. Offshore hiring delivers comparable land admin, AP/AR, or patient coordination support in 5 business days at roughly 35 percent of loaded Houston cost — and the variable-cost structure means you do not get caught carrying expensive W-2s through the next oil price crash.

Do Houston businesses have any special requirements for offshore hires?

Texas has no state income tax, so Houston businesses do not withhold federal or state income tax for offshore contractors, do not pay Texas Workforce Commission unemployment, and do not file W-2s. The standard form is a W-8BEN collected at engagement (not a W-9, which is for US persons) governed by an independent contractor agreement. Texas franchise tax applies to the entity, not to the international contractor relationship. Most Houston clients route payments through us so they never deal with international wires, FBAR thresholds, or Texas employment filings directly.
