Ongoing PPC management that keeps your Google Ads account optimised week to week, not just switched on and left to run itself.
Bids, keywords and ad copy are reviewed and adjusted regularly, not left unattended between quarterly check-ins.
You get a plain-English monthly report on spend, cost per lead and return -- so you always know what management is doing.
Our ppc management services fee is quoted separately from your ad spend, with no hidden mark-up on what goes to Google.
Cloudswitched provides ppc management services and paid search management for UK SMEs who've learned the hard way that a Google Ads account left unattended quietly gets more expensive and less effective every month. As a ppc management company, our job doesn't stop once a campaign goes live -- search term reports get reviewed, wasted spend gets trimmed with negative keywords, and winning ad variations get scaled, on an ongoing basis rather than left to drift. Whether you're looking for ppc services to take over an account nobody's touched in months, or google ads management agency uk support for a brand-new campaign, we start by finding out exactly what's actually happening in the account -- what's converting, what's quietly burning budget, and what conversion tracking is or isn't set up properly. Good ppc management is unglamorous, ongoing work: checking search terms weekly, adjusting bids as competition shifts, and refreshing ad copy before it fatigues -- the discipline that separates a properly managed account from one that was simply switched on and forgotten.
Google Ads rewards accounts that are actively managed. Left alone, an account's cost per click tends to creep upward as competitors adjust their own bids, search terms drift away from genuine buyer intent, and ad copy that once converted well starts to fatigue. Ongoing ppc management is what keeps an account performing rather than slowly decaying while the invoice for the ad spend stays exactly the same.
Not every ppc management company actually manages accounts week to week. Some set a campaign live during onboarding and then check in quarterly at best; others, like Cloudswitched, review search terms, adjust bids and refresh ad copy on an ongoing basis. When comparing ppc management services, ask specifically how often the account is actually touched, not just what the onboarding process looks like.
Beyond the initial campaign build, proper ppc management services cover weekly search term reviews, negative keyword additions, bid adjustments, ad copy testing, conversion tracking maintenance and monthly reporting -- coordinated as one ongoing programme rather than a single setup fee and silence afterwards.
A one-off campaign launch gets ads live; paid search management keeps them performing. The value of ongoing management usually shows up from month two onward, once there's enough data to see what's actually converting and refine the account accordingly -- the exact point at which a "launch and leave" provider has typically already moved on to the next client. Anyone can switch a campaign on inside an afternoon; the discipline of coming back to it every week, for months, is what actually protects and grows your return on ad spend.
Rising cost per click with no corresponding rise in leads, search term reports that reveal budget going to clearly irrelevant searches, or ad copy that hasn't changed in over a year are all signs an account has drifted into "set and forget" territory rather than being actively managed.
A management fee covers the ongoing human time behind an account -- reviewing search term reports, testing ad copy, adjusting bids, chasing down tracking issues and writing a report that actually means something. It's easy to underestimate how much of an account's performance depends on that unglamorous weekly attention rather than the initial setup, which is exactly the work that stops the moment a "launch and leave" provider moves on to their next client.
We review what's actually being searched before a click reaches your ad, adding negative keywords continuously so budget stops leaking to irrelevant traffic.
Bids and daily budgets are adjusted as competition and performance shift, rather than set once at launch and left untouched for months.
We test and refresh ad variations on an ongoing basis, retiring fatigued ads before performance quietly declines.
You get a plain-English report every month showing spend, cost per lead and return -- what we changed, why, and what's next.
From audit to ongoing management -- our process keeps your ad spend accountable every month.
We audit your existing account or build a fresh strategy, checking conversion tracking, search terms and account structure.
We set out exactly what ongoing ppc management will cover -- bid strategy, negative keywords, ad testing and reporting cadence.
Search terms, bids and ad copy are reviewed and adjusted continuously, based on what the data actually shows.
Monthly reporting tracks cost per lead and return, and the management plan adapts as performance and competition change.
We're a ppc management company that works exclusively with UK SMEs, so recommendations are grounded in realistic budgets, not enterprise-scale campaigns that assume unlimited spend.
Our ppc management services start with conversion tracking done properly, so every decision after that is based on genuine data about what converts, not assumptions carried over from launch.
Accounts are reviewed weekly, not quarterly -- search terms, bids and ad copy are actively managed rather than left to run untouched.
Reporting is in plain English every month -- spend, cost per lead and return -- so you always know exactly what your management fee is doing.
You get a dedicated account manager, not a junior consultant learning on your budget, and there's full transparency on what's going to Google versus what's going to management.
Because we also build websites and run SEO, we can spot conflicts between channels that a pure ppc management company working alone might never notice.
A Google Ads account is never static. New competitors enter your market and bid up the same keywords, seasonal demand shifts the searches people actually type, and ad copy that performed well a year ago starts to blend into the background as audiences see it repeatedly. None of this shows up as a dramatic failure -- it shows up as cost per click creeping upward a few pence at a time and conversion rate drifting down slightly month after month, easy to miss unless someone is actually watching the account closely. That's the case for ongoing ppc management rather than treating a campaign as something you set up once and revisit only when it's obviously broken.
Too many businesses pay for ppc management services for months and only ever see a dashboard full of clicks and impressions. Our reports connect spend directly to leads and sales -- cost per conversion, which campaigns and keywords are actually producing enquiries, and exactly what we changed in the account that month as a result. If a ppc management company can't clearly show you the link between spend and results, it's worth asking what they've actually been doing with your budget.
Each approach has genuine trade-offs -- here's how they typically compare for a UK SME.
Works if someone in-house has genuine Google Ads experience and time to review the account weekly. Without that, cost per click tends to drift upward while performance quietly declines.
Gets a campaign live quickly, but with no ongoing management the account typically starts to underperform within a few months as competition and search behaviour shift.
Ongoing ppc management services like ours keep an account performing week to week, with continuity built in and transparent monthly reporting holding the work accountable.
We don't just launch campaigns -- we manage them properly, every week. Here's what sets us apart.
We review accounts weekly, not quarterly -- search terms, bids and ad copy are actively managed rather than left to run unattended.
You always know exactly what's going to Google versus management, and what each pound of spend is actually producing.
You get a named point of contact who knows your account, not a rotating cast of junior consultants.
We regularly take over accounts that have been running unmanaged, auditing thoroughly before making changes rather than discarding valuable history.
We earn your business through results every month, not a rigid contract you can't get out of.
We coordinate paid search management with organic SEO so you're not paying to compete with your own rankings.
Ongoing negative keyword management stops your budget being spent on searches that were never going to convert.
Because we build websites too, we can fix the page your ads send traffic to, not just the campaign itself.
Your ppc management services quote is scoped to your account size and goals, with no hidden mark-up on ad spend.
From e-commerce retailers running Shopping campaigns to professional services firms competing on high-value Search terms, UK businesses across every sector need their PPC account actively managed, not just launched and left. A ppc management company that understands the commercial reality of your sector -- typical order values, sales cycles, seasonal demand -- manages the account accordingly, rather than applying the same generic weekly checklist to every client regardless of industry. A trades business with a small local service area needs tight geographic bid management and call tracking; a national e-commerce brand needs Shopping feed and remarketing management at scale -- both need ongoing ppc management, but the work looks nothing alike.
Cloudswitched is based in the City of London and manages Google Ads accounts remotely for SMEs across the country. Account access, reporting calls and creative reviews all happen effectively over video call and shared dashboards, so location is never a barrier to proper ongoing paid search management.
How we work: Monthly reporting calls, a shared performance dashboard and a named account manager mean you always know what's being spent and why, wherever you're based.
Who we help: From single-location trades businesses to multi-site retailers and growing e-commerce brands, our ppc management services scale with your budget and ambitions.
Getting started: Every engagement begins with a free account audit -- of an existing account if you have one, or of your market and competitors if you're starting fresh -- so you can see the management plan before committing to a monthly programme.

Got questions about our PPC management services? We've answered the most common ones below. If you need more detail, get in touch.
Management fees depend on your ad spend and account complexity, and are quoted separately from what you pay Google for clicks, so there's never a hidden mark-up on spend. Get in touch for a free consultation and a quote scoped to your budget, whether you're launching your first campaign or handing over an existing account.
Launching gets ads live; PPC management is the ongoing weekly work of reviewing search terms, adjusting bids and refreshing ad copy that determines whether the account keeps performing or slowly decays. Most accounts left unmanaged after launch see cost per click drift upward within a few months.
Search terms and spend are reviewed weekly, with bid and budget adjustments made as needed rather than on a fixed monthly schedule -- and a full performance report every month.
Yes -- we regularly inherit accounts that have been running unmanaged and audit them thoroughly before making changes, so we understand what's actually working before we touch anything.
No management company can guarantee an exact cost per lead before seeing real account data, but we set realistic targets after the initial audit and report transparently against them every month.
The principles -- ongoing review, bid management, ad testing -- carry across platforms, though we focus primarily on Google Ads for most UK SME clients since it typically covers the highest-intent searches.
Yes -- because we also build websites, we can review and rebuild the landing pages your ads send traffic to, which is often the biggest lever for improving conversion rate.
