Google Ads Agency: be there when people nearby search for you

We set up and run the search and map ads that appear when someone types “plumber Manchester” or “nail salon Dublin”. We choose keywords with real buying intent, limit the ads to the area you serve and track calls, form enquiries and WhatsApp clicks. You set the ad budget and pay it straight to Google; our management fee is separate.

What's included

The work behind
a campaign.

From keywords to tracking, every setting has one aim: spending your budget on searches from people who could become customers.

01

Your account, your data

The Google Ads account is opened in your name, or you give us access to your existing one. Form submissions, WhatsApp clicks and phone calls are set up as conversions.

02

Keywords with intent

We focus on searches from people ready to book, buy or ask for a quote, grouped by theme so each ad matches what was searched.

03

Local targeting

Ads show only in the towns, postcodes or radius around your premises that you actually serve.

04

Maps and local visits

Your Google Business Profile is linked to the account, and a Performance Max campaign aimed at store visits can run across Maps, Search and YouTube.

05

Search term clean-up

We read the real searches that triggered your ads and exclude the irrelevant ones as negative keywords.

06

Ad copy and landing pages

Ads written in the searcher's words, sent to pages that continue the same message, with call, location and site link assets.

Who it's for

Who it
makes sense for.

  • New businesses

    Shops and services without reviews or history on Maps yet, who want to appear for relevant searches from the day they open.

  • Businesses that win work by phone

    Locksmiths, plumbers, removal firms, clinics and salons whose customers call to book or ask for a quote.

  • Seasonal peaks

    Florists, bakeries, jewellers and event companies that want to stand out around holidays, wedding season or the end of the year.

  • Advertisers who can't see results

    Businesses already running ads without knowing which clicks became customers, or whose budget goes on unrelated searches.

How we work

Step by
step.

  1. 01

    Goals call

    We agree which service to advertise, in which area, for which action, and the monthly ad budget.

  2. 02

    Keyword research

    We find the searches your customers really make and keep the ones that signal an intent to book or buy.

  3. 03

    Setup with tracking

    Call, form and WhatsApp conversions are defined first; campaigns, ads and assets are built around those actions.

  4. 04

    Launch and optimisation

    After Google's review, the ads go live. We adjust keywords, bids and ads based on search terms and conversion data.

Good to know

Google Ads for a local business: budget, targeting and tracking

For a local business, Google Ads is the most direct way to reach someone who needs your service right now. These are the points we pay most attention to when we run campaigns for small businesses.

Two separate costs: budget and management

Google Ads involves two payments. The first is the money that goes to Google for your ads, the ad budget; Google charges it directly to the card in your own Google Ads account. The second is the management fee, the fee for the people who build and adjust the campaigns, which you pay to us. The budget stays entirely in your hands: you can raise it, lower it or pause the ads. A campaign is given an average daily amount; on busy days spend can go above it and on quiet days below, while Google keeps the monthly total within its own monthly limit. That is why it is easier to think about the budget per month.

Location settings

A hairdresser's customers live and work nearby. We limit ads to a town, a postcode area or a radius around your premises, and use the location option that targets people in, or regularly in, that area.

Which campaign type to start with

For most local businesses, the starting point is a Search campaign: a text ad shown to someone searching for your service at that moment. If you have premises customers visit, linking your Google Business Profile and running Performance Max with a store-visit goal is also possible; one campaign then serves ads across Maps, Search, YouTube and the Display Network.

Tracking and cookie consent

To see which clicks turned into customers, conversion tracking is set up for form submissions, WhatsApp clicks and calls from the ad or from the number on your site. In the UK and the EU, ad measurement relies on visitor consent, so the cookie banner on your site is set up to work with Google's Consent Mode. Tracking then shows which keywords bring enquiries.

Search terms and negative keywords

The keyword you add and the search that actually shows your ad are often different. A keyword like “plumber” can trigger ads for “plumber jobs” or “plumber salary”. We read the search terms report regularly and add irrelevant searches as negative keywords. This regular clean-up keeps your spend on people who could become customers.

Ads in more than one language

In some cities a business has two groups of searchers who use different languages. We keep each language in its own ad group with ads written in that language and, ideally, a landing page in the same language. A bilingual business website makes this much easier.

Fee and getting started

Our management fee starts at £155 per month incl. VAT; packages differ by the number of campaigns and languages, and the minimum term is 3 months. The ad budget is not included and is paid to Google separately. If you also want a steady presence on Instagram and Facebook, see social media management.

Questions

Frequently asked questions.

Is the ad spend included in your fee?

No. Ad spend goes to Google, charged to the card in your Google Ads account. What you pay us covers setting up and managing the campaigns.

How much is the management fee?

We have three packages, monthly and incl. VAT,: Local, £155 per month (1 campaign, monthly ad budget up to €1,000); Bilingual, £295 per month (up to 3 campaigns, 2 languages); Growth, £510 per month (up to 6 campaigns). There is a one-off setup fee and a minimum term of 3 months. The ad budget is paid to Google separately. Ask about your case on WhatsApp →

How much should I spend on ads?

It depends on your sector, your area and how competitive the searches are. In the first call we suggest a starting budget for your goal and adjust it with you once the first weeks of data are in. Ask about your case on WhatsApp →

Who owns the ad account?

You do. The account is opened in your name with your card attached. We are added as managers, so even if we stop working together, the campaigns, data and history stay with you.

Can I pause the ads?

Yes, campaigns can be paused at any time and Google spends nothing while they are paused. The management service itself has a minimum term of 3 months.

Should I hire a Google Ads agency or do it myself?

If you run one campaign in one town with a handful of keywords and can spare time every week, you can manage it yourself. With several languages, areas or campaigns and no time for weekly checks, handing it to a specialist is usually easier. Ask about your case on WhatsApp →
