New Google Chief Financial Officer Ruth Porat, who joined the company from Morgan Stanley in May, had a good first earnings call today. The company beat its projected revenues during its most recent quarter. More importantly, Porat was able to point to increased revenue in an area that has been a bugbear for Google in recent years: mobile.

During the call she said that the cost-per-click, or CPC, of mobile ads has risen and that desktop CPC has held steady. “We continue to close the gap between mobile and desktop search monetization,” she said during the call. That’s particularly good news since more Google searches happen on mobile devices than desktops in 10 countries, including the US.

Analysts projected earnings of $6.70 a share, which Google beat by 29 cents. Along with mobile, YouTube and Google’s programmatic advertising offerings such as Doubleclick also brought in meaningful money for the company.

Chief Business Officer Omid Kordestani credited local search as one of the main reasons for the company’s improved revenue in search. Some of that improvement was due to warmer weather compared to the first quarter: People aren’t doing as many searches for shopping or dining out when they’re snowed in. But he also pointed to some of Google’s new offerings that help businesses quantify offline sales that result from online searches—claiming, for example that one-third of Target’s mobile ads resulted in in-store sales.

Regardless of where the money came from, investors are pleased. Google shares surged more than 10 percent in after-hours trading.
