Google Ads

Google Ads management measured on enquiries, not clicks

Search ads that bring in enquiries, not just clicks. We set up and manage Google Ads around your margins, with conversion tracking and plain-English reporting.

Why this option

When it's the right call.

Google Ads puts you in front of people actively searching for what you sell, but it wastes money fast without proper tracking, tight targeting and landing pages that convert. We manage it against cost per enquiry and return, not clicks or impressions.

  • You want enquiries faster than SEO delivers
  • You're spending on ads without clear returns
  • You want it measured on revenue, not clicks
Who it's for

A good fit if…

  • Businesses with a clear offer and capacity for more work
  • Anyone wasting budget on poorly-run ads
  • Local and service businesses wanting predictable lead flow, often alongside Meta ads
Probably not, if

Maybe look elsewhere if…

  • You have no budget beyond the management fee
  • You can't yet handle more enquiries if the campaign works
What you get

What's included.

  • Campaign strategy tied to your actual margins, not vanity metrics
  • Account setup and conversion tracking configured properly
  • Keyword research and negative keyword management
  • Ad copy and bid management, tested and refined
  • Landing page guidance to convert the clicks you're paying for
  • Reporting on cost per enquiry and return, in plain English
Under the hood

How we actually build it.

The detail that separates a page that ranks and converts from one that just exists.

Conversion tracking before a single dollar is spent

Running ads without proper conversion tracking is spending blind. Before any campaign goes live, we set up tracking for calls, form submissions and any other action that counts as a real enquiry, so every reported number ties back to something that actually matters to the business.

Negative keywords, the unglamorous work that saves money

Most wasted ad spend comes from showing up for searches that were never going to convert. We build and continually refine a negative keyword list so budget goes toward people actually looking to buy, not tyre-kickers and irrelevant searches.

Bid strategy matched to campaign maturity

A brand-new campaign with no conversion history needs a different bidding approach than one with months of data. We choose and adjust bid strategy based on where the campaign actually is, not a one-size-fits-all default.

Landing pages, because the ad is only half the job

The best-targeted ad in the world underperforms if it lands on a slow, unclear page. We either build a dedicated landing page alongside the campaign or advise on fixing the existing one, the ad and the page are one system, not two separate projects.

Switching over

Migrating from something else?

A previous agency with unclear reporting A self-managed account losing money No paid search presence at all

Taking over an existing account starts with an audit: what's actually converting, what's wasting spend, and whether tracking is even set up correctly. We fix the foundation first, then optimise, rather than inheriting someone else's mess and reporting on top of it.

Avoid these

Common mistakes we don't make.

  • Running ads with no conversion tracking, so nobody knows what's working
  • Broad match keywords with no negative keyword list, burning budget on irrelevant clicks
  • Sending ad traffic to a slow homepage instead of a dedicated landing page
  • Judging success by clicks or impressions instead of enquiries and revenue
  • Setting a campaign live and never touching it again

Questions

Before you get in touch.

Is my ad spend included in the fee?

No, you pay Google directly, so spend is fully transparent and stays in your own account. Our fee covers strategy, setup and management.

How much should I budget?

It depends on your market and margins. We recommend a realistic starting point based on your industry's typical cost-per-click and scale only once the numbers prove out.

How is success measured?

Cost per enquiry and return on spend, with conversion tracking on every campaign, not impressions or clicks, which don't pay the bills.

How soon will I see results?

Search ads can generate enquiries within days of launch, though the first few weeks are typically spent refining targeting based on real data.
