Account structure and intent mapping
Campaigns and ad groups split by the job you want, so a search for flat roof repair sees an ad about flat roof repair rather than a generic company advert.
Google Ads
Google Ads management that buys the top of the page
SEO compounds but it takes months. Paid search puts you above the map pack today, with every call and form tracked so you know exactly what an enquiry costs.
- Search and Local Services Ads
- Call and form conversion tracking
- Negative keywords that stop waste
Why most trade ad accounts quietly waste money
Plenty of business owners have tried Google Ads, spent a few hundred pounds, got nothing useful and turned it off. Usually the account was set up in a way that guaranteed that outcome.
- Broad match keywords showing your ad to people looking for jobs, courses or DIY guides
- No negative keyword list, so you pay for clicks that could never become work
- Every service crammed into one ad group, so the ad never matches the search
- Clicks landing on a homepage instead of a page about the thing they searched for
- No conversion tracking, so nobody can tell which spend produced which enquiry
What Google Ads management covers
Built and run properly from the account structure up, whether we are starting fresh or repairing an existing account.
Local Services Ads and Google Guaranteed
Where your trade qualifies, we handle the verification and set up Local Services Ads, which sit above everything else and charge per lead rather than per click.
Conversion tracking that reflects reality
Calls, form submissions and, where it fits, offline outcomes tracked end to end. Cost per enquiry stops being a guess and becomes a number you can act on.
Negative keyword control
An actively maintained negative list built from your real search terms, stripping out the jobs boards, the DIY searches and the tyre kickers before they cost you money.
Ad copy and landing page match
Ads written for the search behind the click, pointing at a page that answers it. The fastest way to lower your cost per lead is usually the page, not the bid.
Budget pacing and bid management
Spend concentrated on the hours, areas and services that produce work, and pulled back from the ones that do not.
Plain English reporting
What you spent, how many enquiries it produced and what each one cost. Every month, without jargon.

Why our ad management is different
Paid and organic run together
We can see what converts in paid and feed it into your SEO, and use organic data to sharpen your ads. Most agencies only hold one half of that picture.
We optimise for enquiries, not clicks
Impressions and click through rate are diagnostics, not goals. The number that matters is what a booked job costs you.
Your account stays yours
We build in your Google Ads account, not a reseller wrapper. If we ever part ways you keep the account, the history and the learning.
Honest about budget
If your market needs more spend than you have to make paid search work, we will say so on the first call rather than taking a management fee to run something doomed.

Google Ads questions, answered
How quickly do Google Ads produce enquiries?
Usually within days of going live, which is the main reason to run ads alongside SEO rather than instead of it. The first two to four weeks are a learning period where we tighten targeting using real search data, so cost per enquiry normally improves noticeably after the first month.
What should I budget for Google Ads?
It depends entirely on your trade and area, because click prices vary enormously between, say, a rural driving instructor and an emergency plumber in a city centre. We will model realistic numbers for your specific services on the call, including what the management fee is and what goes to Google, so there are no surprises.
What are Local Services Ads and should I use them?
Local Services Ads sit right at the very top of the results, above normal ads, and show a Google Guaranteed badge once you pass their background and licence checks. You pay per lead rather than per click. For most home service trades they are the single best paid placement available, and we handle the verification process for you.
Do I need a landing page or can ads point at my website?
If you have a strong page about the specific service being searched for, we will use it. If your ads would land on a generic homepage, a dedicated page almost always lowers your cost per enquiry enough to pay for itself, and we can build one as part of the work.
Can you fix an existing Google Ads account rather than starting over?
Usually yes, and often that is preferable because the account already has performance history that Google's systems use. We will audit what is there first and tell you honestly whether restructuring it or starting clean is the better option.
Do you tie me into a contract?
No. Ad management runs on a rolling monthly basis. You keep ownership of the Google Ads account throughout, so you are never stuck with us to keep your campaigns running.
