What's included in our Google Ads service

Campaign Strategy & Account Setup

A complete Google Ads strategy built around your goals, audience and budget. We structure your account using best-practice architecture, set up conversion tracking with Google Tag Manager, and configure audience lists for remarketing. Existing accounts get a full audit first to identify wasted spend and quick wins.

Keyword Research & Bid Management

In-depth keyword research mapped to buyer intent with bid strategies that maximise conversions within your budget. Ongoing negative keyword management, match type refinement, device and location bid adjustments, and automated bidding strategy testing ensure every pound works harder.

Ad Copy & Creative

Compelling ad copy written to maximise click-through rates and quality scores. Multiple responsive search ad variations per ad group, systematic headline and description testing, plus full ad extensions -- sitelinks, callouts, structured snippets and call extensions to dominate the results page.

Landing Page Recommendations

We audit your landing pages for conversion rate, page speed, mobile usability and message match -- then provide specific, actionable recommendations. Because we also build websites, we can implement improvements ourselves -- no waiting for a third-party developer.

Conversion Tracking & Analytics

Accurate tracking for form submissions, phone calls and e-commerce transactions using Google Tag Manager, GA4 and Google Ads conversion tags. Enhanced conversions, offline conversion imports and attribution modelling show the true value of your campaigns beyond last-click metrics.

Remarketing & Audience Strategy

Remarketing audiences segmented by behaviour -- page visitors, cart abandoners, past converters and lookalikes -- with tailored creative for each segment. Plus Google's in-market audiences, custom intent targeting and demographic targeting to reach new customers matching your ideal buyer profile.

Competitor & Market Analysis
