Common problems

Where Google Ads budgets usually leak

Most underperforming accounts lose money in the same three places. This is how we fix each one.

We spend a lot on Google but can’t tell what it brings in.

Without proper conversion tracking, you end up optimising for clicks, and Google will happily spend your budget on them.

FIXWe track calls, forms and sales from day one, so every decision is based on real leads.
Clicks are expensive and the leads are junk.

Broad keywords, weak negatives and generic ads attract people who were never going to buy.

FIXA tight keyword strategy, weekly search-term clean-up and ads written for buyers.
Our agency set it up and disappeared.

Accounts left alone drift: costs creep up, budget goes to the wrong places and results slide.

FIXWeekly checks, a monthly report and a clear list of what we changed and why.
What we do

Paid search that pays you back

Google Ads can bring you customers on the day it goes live, or it can quietly burn your budget. The setup decides which: tracking, structure, keywords, ads and the page people land on.

We build campaigns around your margins and real conversions, then check them every week. You’ll know what you spent, what it brought in and what we plan to do next.

Our approach

How we approach Google Ads

These four rules shape every plan we write and every campaign we run.

01

Aim for profit

Cheap clicks are worthless if nobody buys. We optimise for leads and sales at a cost that works for your business.

02

Track before spending

What isn’t measured can’t be improved, so tracking goes in before any budget is spent.

03

Keep it relevant

The right search, the right ad and the right page. Relevance lowers costs and raises conversion rates.

04

Test instead of arguing

We test ads, bids and landing pages and let the data decide.

FAQ

Questions we hear a lot

If your question isn’t here, ask us directly. We reply within one business day.

Ask a question →
How much should I spend on Google Ads?

It depends on your market and what a customer is worth to you. After the audit we’ll recommend a starting budget based on real search volumes and expected cost per click, and you can increase it once the campaigns are working.

Who owns the ad account?

You do. We work inside your Google Ads account, and the campaigns, data and history stay yours whatever happens.

How quickly will I see results?

Ads can bring leads within days of launch. The first few weeks are a learning period, and most accounts settle into a steady, improving cost per lead by month two or three.

Can you fix my existing account?

Yes. Most of our work starts with an audit of an existing account, and there’s usually wasted spend we can cut in the first week.

Do I need a new website or landing page?

Not always. If your current pages convert well we’ll use them. If not, we’ll recommend changes or build focused landing pages for your campaigns.

Should I do Google Ads or SEO?

Ads bring customers now and stop when you stop paying. SEO takes longer but keeps working. Most growing businesses use both: ads for today, SEO for the long term.
