ZATO's core business goal is simple:
to provide our clients with exceptional Paid Search advertising without compromising our employee health & well-being.
ZATO doesn't have our own quarterly growth goals to hit. We just don't measure success by how quickly we make ZATO "big". We are more concerned with providing our clients with an agency they can trust to do great and consistent work on their accounts. At ZATO, we focus on cultivating great partnerships that last for years.
We partner with a limited number of accounts per person, so we can keep up with all the Google Ads changes (aren't there so many these days?!), grow your account, and do all of that without burning out our team members.
