WHY IT MATTERS

Stop paying for clicks that never become work

Google Ads can put your business in front of people at the exact moment they are looking for what you do. Done badly, it can also burn through money on the wrong searches, the wrong areas and the wrong times of day. Good Google Ads management in Stoke-on-Trent is the difference between a steady flow of enquiries and a monthly bill you cannot explain.

We see a lot of accounts that were set up quickly and left running. Broad keywords, no negative keywords, no conversion tracking and ads pointing at a homepage that does not answer the question. Fixing those basics often makes a bigger difference than spending more.

Our approach is simple. Track what matters, target carefully, send people to pages that convert and report back in plain English.

FOR TRADES

Google Ads for tradesmen and local service firms

Trades have a particular challenge with ads. You want enquiries for the work you do best, in the places you can reach, at a volume you can actually handle. A plumber does not want to pay for clicks from someone two counties away, and a groundworks firm does not want domestic patio enquiries if they only take commercial jobs.

We set campaigns up around those realities: tight service areas, schedules that match when you can answer the phone and keywords that reflect the jobs you want. If you are fully booked, budgets can be paused or reduced. If you need to fill the diary, we can lean in.

  • Location targeting around the areas you cover
  • Ad schedules that match your working hours
  • Call tracking so phone enquiries are counted
  • Easy to pause or scale with your workload

QUESTIONS

Google Ads questions we hear a lot

It depends on how competitive your trade is locally and how many enquiries you want. We will recommend a starting budget after looking at search volumes and typical click costs in your area, then adjust based on real results.
Yes. The account and its history belong to your business, and ad spend is billed to you directly by Google. We manage it with your permission.
It records when someone takes a useful action, such as calling you or sending a form. Without it you only know how many clicks you paid for, not how many enquiries they produced.
Yes. We often start with an audit of an existing account, explain what we find in plain English and recommend what to keep, change or switch off.
They do different jobs. Ads can bring enquiries quickly while you pay for them. SEO builds slowly and keeps working. Many local businesses use ads while their SEO grows.
No. It runs month to month and you can stop with 30 days’ notice. We would rather earn your business each month.
