Why Google Ads

Google Ads is the fastest way to reach customers who are already searching for you. Unlike social ads that interrupt, Google Ads answer a live question — "plumber near me", "best pest control London", "buy [your product]" — with your business at the top of the page.

Done well, that's the highest-intent traffic you can buy anywhere. Done badly, it's the fastest way to burn budget. We build campaigns properly, track every enquiry, and cut what doesn't work — so your spend earns its keep.

Every Google ad type

The right campaign for your goal

Google Ads isn't one thing — it's six. We choose the mix that fits your business and budget.

Search Ads

Performance Max

Google's AI-driven campaign that runs across Search, Maps, YouTube, Display and Gmail from one setup.

Shopping Ads

Product listings with images and prices — the workhorse for anyone selling online.

YouTube Ads

Short skippable and non-skippable video ads that reach millions of viewers, targeted to your audience.

Display & Remarketing

Questions

Google Ads FAQs

What is the minimum Google Ads budget?
For most UK small businesses we recommend a minimum monthly ad spend of £300–£500 to gather enough clicks and conversions to optimise properly. Competitive industries need more. We'll advise honestly based on your keywords and location.
How is your fee different from ad spend?
Our management fee covers our work — keyword research, campaign build, ad copy, tracking, optimisation and reporting. Your ad spend is paid directly to Google and stays separate. No hidden markups.
How quickly will I see leads from Google Ads?
Unlike SEO, Google Ads can drive enquiries from day one. Real optimisation — where cost per lead drops meaningfully — typically takes 2–4 weeks of data as we refine keywords, ads and audiences.
Do you also build the landing page?
Yes — a strong landing page is often the difference between wasted spend and profitable ads. We can build high-converting landing pages tailored to each campaign.
Which types of Google Ads do you run?
Search Ads, Google Maps / Local Services, Performance Max, Shopping (for e-commerce), YouTube video ads and Display / remarketing — we pick the right mix for your business.
Do you set up conversion tracking?
Yes — proper Google Ads and GA4 conversion tracking is set up so every form submission, WhatsApp click, call and sale is measured accurately. Without it, ads run blind.
