Communication

A direct line to the person doing the work.

We work best with people who want their account managed, not just maintained.

Straightforward terms.

  • Management is a flat monthly fee, agreed upfront, not a percentage of your spend.
  • No pricing tiers. A smaller budget gets the whole service, not a trimmed one.
  • No lock-in contracts: cancel any time, effective at the end of the billing cycle.
  • The account stays in your name, and you keep full access.
  • Ad spend is generally $1,500 a month minimum, paid directly to Google.
  • A one-off setup fee applies to new accounts, and to existing accounts that need substantial restructuring. It's confirmed upfront.

Frequently Asked Questions

01Who will I be dealing with?

The person doing the work. Not an account manager passing messages to them. Phone, Zoom or email, whatever suits.

02What do you need from me?

We'll need:

  • Access to your Google Ads account and website
  • Access to any analytics or tracking tools you use — or we can set these up for you
  • A clear idea of your goals, your monthly budget, and what a valuable enquiry or sale looks like
  • Anything else you think is useful

From there we build the campaign structure, do the keyword research and get tracking in place. If you already have an account, we review it first and work from what's already there, restructuring only where it's needed. We can handle ad copy and campaign assets, and you're welcome to provide any existing creative you'd like us to use.

03How do you reduce Google Ads costs?

The cheapest click is rarely the cheapest customer.

Search intent shapes which queries are worth appearing for. Keyword targeting, match types and negative keywords control what you show up for, and what you don't. Ad relevance and click-through rate influence what you pay per click. Landing page quality and message match affect whether a click becomes an enquiry. Your conversion rate shapes your cost per enquiry — and what an enquiry is worth to you decides whether that cost is any good.

Those are some of the factors. We look at the whole set rather than optimising one part in isolation — and we'll tell you what we find.
