Own Your Audience: Reach, engage and convert with precision

Paid media can be your fastest route to revenue, but without the right strategy, it quickly becomes expensive noise. Many B2B teams struggle to balance short-term lead generation with long-term brand building, especially in complex, multi-touch sales cycles.

That’s where we come in.

We design precision-led paid media strategies that combine the immediacy of Google Ads with the targeting power of LinkedIn and other platforms. From segmentation and platform-specific messaging to creative and optimisation, every campaign is built to drive qualified engagement and fuel your pipeline.

We don’t just manage ads, we architect your paid media for sustained growth, measurable ROI and leads that convert.

FAQs

We are a small, independent team of highly focused and experienced experts in PPC and related digital marketing. We are committed to our clients, and don’t have the overheads and distractions of running a big agency. We get results – we will only work with you if we are confident we can help you achieve your goals. If your sector is highly competitive and needs a budget in excess of what’s available to you, we will let you know. We are very approachable and highly professional. We never resort to jargon and obscure tech-speak, so you always know what we are talking about. Clients are in direct contact with the actual team members who work on their PPC campaigns, with no account managers or other staff to get in the way. We know exactly what we are doing – we have been building PPC campaigns for many years.

Our core service is organic SEO linked closely with paid search, content marketing, and paid social – our digital services all work in sync together for our clients. We also offer the perspective that comes from our background in full service marketing. We bring a fundamental understanding of marketing – we know what makes audiences tick. The results we deliver show that we are really good at what we do. We are 100% focused on delivering exceptional digital marketing results for our clients.

Our fees for paid search are based on providing a dedicated resource for the right amount of time every month to achieve the results you are aiming for. We provide our services, where appropriate, from as little as half a day per month. In addition, there are media fees, paid directly to the platform you are advertising on. We do not mark up the media fees, and we always provide recommendations based on your goals and the competition in the advertising landscape. We also look at the cost per click of your keywords and the range of products and services you are offering. We are proactive about optimising campaigns and moving budget to the best performing campaigns. Be wary of the cheapest fees. If a PPC agency is quoting you rock bottom prices (say, £50-£150) to set up and manage your ads, you might not get the results you need for your business.

We create Google Data Studio reports for our clients which include key metrics, and we tailor-make reports to cover all issues that are important to you and your stakeholders. We use Data Studio because it gives up to the minute results and real-time data. The key conversion metrics we report on vary for each client, but are generally enquiries or leads, or orders for ecommerce. We also report on impressions, click through rates, conversion rates, average cost per conversion and average cost per click.

We can’t guarantee results from PPC – it is simply not possible to do so. The best results come after a PPC campaign has run for 2-3 months so that data can be gathered and analysed for optimising the campaigns. Our experience of running many PPC campaigns in multiple sectors gives us a strong indication of how successful a new campaign will be.

PPC is relatively quick to set up, however, we recommend you run your ads for at least 2-3 months to enable us to gather enough data to make decisions on how to maximise the success of the adverts. PPC campaigns need constant optimising, removing negative keywords, assessing how successful each campaign is and moving budget around accordingly, as well as looking for other campaign opportunities.

An experienced and highly skilled team will create and deploy your campaigns. You will deal directly with the people working on your PPC, not an account manager acting as an intermediary.

We have been perfecting our approach to PPC for over 16 years, using data and tools to drive results. We know what makes campaigns work and what doesn’t in many different sectors. We know how to navigate the minefield of setting up campaigns that work on multiple platforms. We are always completely up to date with the different platforms, and we ensure our clients are making the most of their budget. We have a tried and tested process in place that generates results for our clients. There are thousands and thousands of guides, articles, YouTube videos out there that you could use to learn from. However, our clients see the value in using our specialist PPC expertise, so that they can have confidence in achieving results and can concentrate on running their business.

We constantly monitor our clients’ PPC accounts and make small tweaks to optimise the ads daily. We schedule more extensive PPC management time throughout the month to carry out actions such as setting up new campaigns, testing different platforms and exploring further opportunities.
