Google Ads Management
Get to the top of Google instantly with professionally managed pay-per-click campaigns tuned to your trade and service area.
The Problem
Your diary has gaps while your competitors appear at the top of Google, because they're running ads and you're not. Or you tried ads once, lost money fast, and swore them off.
What I Do
Properly managed Google Ads campaigns with call tracking, negative keywords, and tight geographic targeting. Every pound of ad spend is accounted for, every lead is attributed, and we kill what's not working before it eats your budget.

- Landing page advice (or build where needed)
- Monthly performance report with cost-per-lead figures
- Ongoing optimisation: pause losers, scale winners
- Search, Performance Max and Local campaigns where relevant

- Audience signals and remarketing lists
- Google Tag Manager and GA4 event setup

Common Questions
How much should I spend on Google Ads?
Most local trades see results from £300–£800/month ad spend. Less than that and the data is too thin to optimise from.
How quickly will I get leads from ads?
Typically within the first week; ads are immediate unlike SEO. The first month is calibration; by month two you'll have a clear cost-per-lead.
What's the difference between Google Ads and Local Services Ads?
Google Ads shows across search and display, you pay per click. LSAs show only for local service keywords with the Google Guarantee badge, and you pay per lead.
Do I need a website to run Google Ads?
Yes, a dedicated landing page (not just your homepage) dramatically improves conversion rate and lowers cost-per-click.
Can you write the ads as well as manage them?
Yes, ad copy is included. I write 3 variants per ad group and rotate to find what converts best.
How do I know the ads are actually working?
Call tracking and form conversion tracking from day one. Every lead is attributed to the campaign and keyword that generated it.
What if I'm not happy with the results after 90 days?
Month-to-month management, no long contracts. If the numbers aren't there after 90 days, I'll tell you honestly and you can stop.
Can you target specific postcodes or areas?
Yes, radius targeting and postcode exclusions so your budget only goes to your actual service area.
Will ads work alongside my SEO?
Yes, ads fill the gap while organic SEO matures. Many clients run both and gradually reduce ad spend as organic traffic builds.
