Google Ads & Business Profile
Google, withoutthe guesswork.
For most local businesses Google is where the money is: the search ad when someone needs you today, and the Business Profile they check before they ring. We look after both and show you exactly what each one brought in.
Search ads
The ad people see when they're ready to buy.
Someone typing 'scaffolding hire Bury St Edmunds' into Google wants a scaffolder, today. Search is the one channel where you pay to be in front of that person at that moment. Everything we do on it is about making that click worth the money.
01
Tight keyword groups
Each ad group covers one thing, so the ad can say exactly what was searched for and the landing page can back it up.
02
Negatives kept up weekly
The searches you don't want to pay for, removed every week. 'Jobs', 'courses', 'free', the wrong town. It's the least glamorous part and it matters most.
03
Landing pages that match
If the ad promised a quote in 24 hours, the page says so, at the top, with a form. We build or fix these as part of the job.

Three kinds of business
What a first campaign looks like.
Same discipline, different shape. These are examples of how we'd structure the first month for the businesses we work with most.

A scaffolding company
Search campaigns split by job type and town, a Business Profile with progress photos from the drone, and a quote form that goes straight to the yard manager's phone.

- Profile photos from site

An equine business
Newmarket is the audience. Search for the services people actually type, a profile that shows the yard and the people, and YouTube cuts of the brand film to owners and trainers in the area.

The first month
Four weeks, no surprises.
Audit & tracking
Week one
Access, audit and tracking. We read what's already been running, fix conversion tracking so calls and forms actually count, and write up what we found.
Build
Week two
Build. Campaigns, ad groups, ads, negatives, Business Profile put right, landing page fixed or built. You see it all before it goes live.
Launch & first report
Weeks three and four
Live. Daily checks in the first fortnight, search terms reviewed, budget moved to what's working. First one-page report at the end of the month.
Questions
Google, plainly.
Who owns the ad account?
You do. We work inside your Google Ads account and your Business Profile as a manager. If we part ways, everything stays with you, including the history.
How much should we spend?
It depends on the job and the town, and we'll give you a straight number after the audit. As a rule, a local service business needs enough to be seen every day on its main searches, and not much more than that to start.
Can you just do the Business Profile?
Yes. For a lot of local businesses it's the highest-value thing on this page and it's a fixed monthly fee.
Do you use Google's automated campaigns?
Where they earn their place. Performance Max is good for Shopping; it's a poor fit for a scaffolder who needs the phone to ring. We'll tell you which is which.
