Aemorph's SEM service builds your landing page and your Google Ads campaigns, then runs them for your first month with no management fee while you fund the ad spend.
Your campaigns reach Singapore buyers at the moment they search, and you see them perform on your own budget before you pay Aemorph anything. Continue into month two and management starts from S$2,500 a month. Stop after month one and the campaigns end. Every campaign is built and managed in Aemorph's Google Ads manager account.
Your First Month of Singapore SEM Carries No Management Fee: You Fund the Ads, Aemorph Builds and Runs Them
Aemorph builds and manages your paid search for the first month at no fee, as long as you fund the recommended ad budget, so you judge the work on live campaigns instead of a proposal.
The first month covers the full build, from the account audit to launch and management:
| Item | Month one | From month two |
|---|---|---|
| Management fee | None | From S$2,500 a month |
| Ad spend | Funded by you, at the recommended budget | Funded by you, at the recommended budget |
| What Aemorph does | Account audit, tracking set-up, landing page build, campaign builds, launch and management | Monthly management, optimisation and reporting |
| Term | One month, with no obligation to continue | 3-month minimum term, starting after the free month |
Aemorph sets the recommended budget from Google Ads forecasting for your keywords and locations; it typically sits between S$3,000 and S$5,000 a month in media spend. Choose not to continue after month one and Aemorph switches the campaigns off. The campaigns are built and managed in Aemorph's Google Ads manager account.
Ad spend is funded by you and sits outside Aemorph's management fee.
Aemorph Governs Your Singapore Google Ads, So Every Dollar Has a Defined Job
Aemorph directs the automation inside your Google Ads campaigns, so your Singapore budget goes to buyers who are ready to act rather than to whoever Google's AI reaches first.
Google's bidding and ad systems now carry most of the workload in an account, and what they deliver depends on who sets their direction. Every account Aemorph manages runs on four stages:
| Stage | What Aemorph does | What it protects |
|---|---|---|
| Fuel | Clean conversion data, strong creative assets and defined audiences | The signals Google's AI learns from |
| Control | Negative keywords, placement controls and brand exclusions | Your budget from irrelevant searches and placements |
| Refine | Evidence-led reporting and adjustment every month | Performance as auctions and competitors change |
| Result | Qualified demand from buyers who intend to act | Your cost per lead and cost per booking |
What does Google's AI need from your Singapore account?
Google's AI needs three things from your account: clean conversion data, strong creative and clear strategic guardrails.
Conversion tracking supplies the outcomes Smart Bidding optimises towards, and CRM-linked offline conversions add lead-quality and sales outcomes where your account uses them. Google tests ad combinations at scale, so your headlines, images and video decide what shows and what converts. Brand exclusions, placement controls and negative keyword lists keep the automation on brief and away from wasted spend.
Which campaign types does Aemorph run in Singapore?
Aemorph chooses from four campaign types to fit your Singapore goals, gives each one a defined role and manages overlap through search-term reviews, exclusions and bidding controls.
Which campaign serves a given search still follows Google's own prioritisation and eligibility rules.
| Campaign type | Role | What it does for you |
|---|---|---|
| Search | High intent | Captures high-intent searches through targeted keywords, relevant messaging and a goal-aligned bidding strategy |
| Performance Max | Scaled reach | Runs across Google's inventory with AI optimisation, fed clean data and tight exclusions so it finds new customers without going off brief |
| Demand Gen | Demand creation | Visual campaigns across YouTube, Discover and Gmail that build interest among in-market audiences before they search |
| Display and remarketing | Closing the loop | Re-engages people who visited, viewed a service or abandoned a cart, and brings them back to convert |
Each account keeps branded and non-branded search apart, carries full keyword and negative keyword lists, holds match types to a clear discipline and sets the bid strategy to the goal.
How does Aemorph use Quality Score to prioritise improvements in your Singapore account?
Quality Score is a keyword-level diagnostic scored from 1 to 10, and Aemorph uses it to decide which ads, keywords and landing pages to fix first in your Singapore account.
Google calculates it from three components: expected click-through rate, ad relevance and landing page experience (Google Ads Help, "About Quality Score"). Google describes it as a diagnostic tool and states that it is not an input in the ad auction. Aemorph uses the score as a to-do list: tightening ad groups, aligning copy with keywords and repairing the landing pages behind them.
What happens after the click?
Aemorph builds dedicated landing pages for your campaigns and audits them for conversion rate, user experience and message match, since a strong ad that lands on a weak page throws the click away.
Building the pages in-house means Aemorph launches and changes campaigns without waiting on a website release. The audit shows where Singapore visitors leave and whether each page delivers on the promise its ad made. Aemorph prioritises the fixes against Quality Score components, conversion rate and cost per acquisition, then measures their effect after launch. Your first landing page is part of the free first month.
How does Aemorph run paid search for Singapore businesses with physical locations?
For Singapore businesses with shops, clinics or showrooms, Aemorph concentrates spend on people near enough to visit and links attributable bookings to the ad behind them.
Six tactics do that work:
- Radius-based location targeting centres campaigns on each location, with a radius sized to how far your customers travel, from one neighbourhood to an island-wide service area.
- Dayparting schedules ads for the hours your locations drive visits, not across the full day.
- Promotion landing pages, built by Aemorph, give each offer its own ad creative and page, kept separate from the main site so its performance is easy to isolate.
- Tracked bookings tag booking form submissions with the campaign, ad and promotion behind it.
- Promotion-code redemption asks customers to mention the offer to claim it, so in-store redemptions trace back to the campaign.
- WhatsApp attribution opens the chat pre-filled with the campaign details, so WhatsApp enquiries that keep the pre-filled text arrive tagged to their source; the PDPA and DNC guide covers the follow-up messages your team sends.
What is SEM (Search Engine Marketing)?
SEM, search engine marketing, is buying paid placement on a search results page, most often through Google Ads, so your business appears in the paid positions for a chosen search term.
The industry now uses SEM to mean paid search, and the ads run only while the budget runs. Singapore buyers search for it as an SEM agency, a Google Ads agency or SEM services. The SEM guide explains what paid search buys and where it stops.
Singapore Paid Search Runs on Google, With Ads Now Inside AI Overviews
Google holds more than 92% of Singapore's search engine market and now shows ads inside AI Overviews in Singapore, but not for sensitive categories such as finance and healthcare, so where your ads show depends on your category.
Google held 92.16% of search engine market share in Singapore in September 2026, with Bing at 4.53% (StatCounter). Singapore has 5.78 million internet users, 98.4% of the population, and 73.8% of workers used AI tools at work in a pulse survey of about 320 working individuals in May and June 2025. Google's own help page lists Singapore among the countries where text and Shopping ads from existing Search, Shopping and Performance Max campaigns show inside AI Overviews, in English.

With Google's share above 92%, Singapore paid search is in practice Google Ads, and where an AI Overview appears on a healthcare or finance search, Google places no ads inside it. For hospitals, medical groups and financial firms, Aemorph builds the campaigns around the searches and positions where your ads do show.
Aemorph's Paid Search Cut Roll'd's Cost per Order 64% and JonesDental's Cost per Conversion 16%
Governed paid search lowers what each order or appointment costs you while the volume grows, and two accounts Aemorph manages show the effect of Aemorph management over nearly two years.
Case study · Vietnamese catering franchise · since October 2024
Roll'd cut its cost per catering order 64% year on year and grew monthly catering orders almost tenfold, from 226 in September 2025 to 2,196 in September 2026.
Roll'd runs a large Vietnamese street-food franchise network. Aemorph manages its Search and Performance Max campaigns, tracked against catering orders, and expanded the account from a single Search campaign into a Performance Max-led, multi-format programme. Catering orders rose 89% year on year in December 2025 and 74% in January 2026. From January to February 2026, on the same monthly budget, orders rose 35% and the cost per order fell 26%. September 2026 set the account's all-time high, up 33% on August.
Google Ads conversions, counting catering orders only, September 2025 to September 2026. Google Ads undercounted orders in June and July 2026 while tracking was rebuilt after a website platform change; Roll'd's own ordering platform recorded higher figures for those months.

Case study · Dental · 22 months
JonesDental cut its cost per conversion 16.1% and grew monthly conversions 44.1%.
The account had no campaign history when Aemorph took it over. Aemorph built Location, Brand and Service Search campaigns, tightened conversion tracking and governed spend against a defined cost-per-conversion target. Conversion rate rose from 29.32% to 35.52% over the same period, and the account produced 2,540 conversions across 22 months.
Cost per conversion and monthly conversions compare the September to November 2024 average with June 2026.
