Korhogo Agency helps ambitious brands grow fast in Senegal with expertly managed Google Ads. We combine deep on-the-ground market understanding with world-class performance marketing to turn ad spend into measurable growth. Whether you are launching in Dakar, scaling across Thiès and Saint-Louis, or reaching Senegalese buyers across the region and diaspora, our team builds campaigns that align with your funnel, your numbers, and your culture. From multilingual search to YouTube storytelling, from Performance Max to app promotion, we deliver a unified approach that reflects how people in Senegal actually search, browse, and buy.
Why Korhogo Agency for Google Ads in Senegal
Running ads in West Africa is more than translating copy and turning on a budget. It is about managing intent at scale, designing user journeys that fit local realities, and keeping the metrics that matter visible and actionable. Korhogo Agency stands out because we marry performance discipline with local nuance. Our strategists and media buyers have experience across Senegal’s dominant mobile-first user base, understand French and Wolof search behavior, and know how to align ad formats with bandwidth and device constraints—without compromising brand quality.
We operate as an extension of your marketing team. That means proactive planning, clear forecasts, and a clean implementation of Google’s best practices adapted to the Senegalese market. We help you choose the right campaign types, build high-intent keyword clusters, craft persuasive ad copy for French, Wolof, or bilingual audiences, and integrate conversion tracking with your CRM so every lead and sale can be attributed correctly.
Our approach is outcome-driven. We set targets for CPA, ROAS, and lead quality and optimize ruthlessly toward them. We use structured testing, market-tailored landing pages, and performance creative to reduce cost per acquisition while lifting volume. Every decision is backed by data, and our reporting cadence ensures your stakeholders see what’s working, what’s next, and the expected impact on growth.
Understanding Senegal’s Digital Landscape
Senegal’s digital ecosystem is thriving, shaped by widespread smartphone adoption, strong social usage, and an audience that leans into short-form video and voice-based search. While desktop traffic exists, mobile is the primary channel for discovery and conversions, so page speed, lightweight creatives, and one-click call extensions are critical. Dakar remains the core economic hub; however, cities such as Touba, Thiès, Mbour, and Saint-Louis are meaningful growth pockets that can be efficiently unlocked with precise geo-targeting and location-specific messaging.
Language is crucial. French dominates formal search and professional contexts, while Wolof and code-switching appear in more conversational or voice-driven queries. We build campaigns that reflect these nuances: French for transactional and high-intent terms, Wolof for engagement and brand affinity, and bilingual ad groups when search trends indicate mixed intent. Beyond language, we also consider local seasonality—Ramadan, back-to-school, national holidays, tourism seasons, and football events—so your budget and messaging are well-timed.
Payments and trust also shape conversion paths in Senegal. Many users prefer mobile money and cash-on-delivery workflows; B2B buyers often want pro-forma invoices and phone consultations. Our funnels are built to support these preferences, whether you sell online with XOF pricing, capture leads for a sales team follow-up, or drive foot traffic to a physical location. The result is a media plan that respects user behaviors and improves conversion rates without inflating acquisition costs.

Our Process: From Audit to Scale
We believe reliable growth comes from repeatable processes, not guesswork. Our Senegal-focused methodology is built to de-risk spend, validate assumptions quickly, and scale what works.
1. Discovery and Audit
We align on business targets, product margins, sales capacity, and success metrics. Then we audit your current account and analytics stack to identify quick wins and structural gaps.
2. Market Blueprint
We map the opportunity across Senegal by device, location, and language. We prioritize high-intent segments and design a plan that balances profitability and volume, with milestones for learning and scaling.
3. Launch and Learn
We deploy tightly structured campaigns with controlled budgets, clear hypotheses, and a testing calendar. Within days, we begin comparing ad variants, keyword cohorts, placements, and audience mixes to accelerate signal quality.
4. Iterate and Optimize
Every week, we analyze query data, user paths, and competitive pressure, then reallocate budgets, adjust bids, and refine messaging to push improved CPA and ROAS. Landing page tests run in parallel for compounding gains.
5. Scale with Confidence
Once efficiency benchmarks are met, we scale budgets through new regions, broader match strategies managed with negatives, Performance Max expansion, and incremental channels like YouTube. We maintain guardrails to preserve unit economics.
Measurement, Reporting, and Real Business Impact
If you cannot measure it, you cannot improve it. We implement a measurement system that makes every decision defendable. From ad click to revenue, we align data flows so finance, marketing, and leadership all see the same truth.
- Conversion integrity: deduplicated events, enhanced conversions, and consistent primary goals.
- Attribution that fits your motion: data-driven, position-based, or last-click benchmarks when needed.
- Offline conversion imports and lead quality scoring to surface the CPL-to-CAC reality.
- Segmented dashboards for executives, growth teams, and sales leaders to keep focus aligned.
We do not hide behind jargon. Our reports tie spend to pipeline and revenue, one step at a time. Targets are agreed upfront, and performance discussions center on the levers we control and the outcomes you value most, from lead acceptance rates to payback periods.

Creative and Messaging That Convert
Great media fails without the right message. We build copy and creative that reflect Senegalese aspirations, pragmatism, and trust cues. In French, we emphasize clarity and proof; in Wolof, we prioritize warmth and relatability. We deploy benefit-led headlines, concrete offers, and credible social proof—testimonials, ratings, partner logos—so skeptical users feel safe to act. For YouTube, we optimize the first three seconds to anchor the promise and brand, then present a simple value proposition and a direct call to action. All assets are tested against benchmarks to identify the best hooks and formats for each audience segment.
Compliance, Brand Safety, and Risk Management
Your brand deserves protection. We work within Google’s policy framework, maintain clean ad and landing experiences, and set conservative exclusions to avoid unsafe placements. For regulated industries, we collaborate with your legal team to ensure claims, disclosures, and data handling are compliant. Our approach keeps campaigns stable and allows scaled performance without platform disruptions.
Investment, Fees, and Value
We tailor budgets to your ambition, margin structure, and target CPA or ROAS. For early-stage testing, we often recommend campaign clusters that prove unit economics before significant scale. Our management fees are aligned with complexity and scope, and we prioritize long-term partnerships by delivering performance and transparency. You will always know where your money goes, what it achieved, and what we are changing next week to improve results.
- Adaptive budgets: expand high-ROAS segments, cap low-profit areas, and pace around seasonality.
- Clear fee structures based on effort and accountability, not busywork.
- Quarterly planning tied to market events and your internal roadmaps.
