GOOGLE ADS & PPC MANAGEMENT

Google Ads, run by people who will tell you when to stop.

Paid search captures demand that already exists. It is the fastest channel to results and the fastest to waste money — and the difference is structure, negatives, tracking and someone honest reading the numbers.

Your account, not ours

Campaigns are built inside your own Google Ads account. You keep the account, the history and the data — including if you stop working with us.

Your budget, paid to Google

Ad spend never passes through us and we take no percentage of it. We charge for the work of building and running the account.

BEFORE YOU SPEND

Four questions that decide whether paid search can work for you.

Is there search volume?

People must already be searching for your service or product in the places you can serve. If they are not, paid social creates demand better than search captures it.

Can the margin carry a click?

In competitive categories a click costs real money. If the average order value cannot absorb that, paid search is the wrong tool.

Where does the click land?

The best campaign in the world dies on a slow, unclear page. Sometimes the landing page has to be built before any spending starts.

Can we measure a conversion?

Without conversion tracking, optimisation is guesswork and reporting is decoration. This gets set up first, always.

If the honest answer to any of these is no, we say so before taking the work. A campaign that cannot succeed is not worth your budget or our name.
CAMPAIGN TYPES

Google offers several campaign types. Choosing wrongly is the expensive part.

Each solves a different problem, and each fails predictably when used for the wrong business. What we run for you is agreed once we understand the account — never sold as a package.

Search

Text ads against what people type. The most controllable campaign type and the one with the clearest intent — someone is asking for what you sell, right now.

FITS AND DOES NOT FIT
  • Fits: services and products people actively search for
  • Fits: businesses that need enquiries on a timetable
  • Not for: categories with no search volume yet
  • Not for: margins too thin to absorb a competitive click

Performance Max

Google distributes one campaign across search, shopping, display, YouTube and Gmail automatically. Powerful with good data behind it, opaque without it.

FITS AND DOES NOT FIT
  • Fits: accounts with working conversion tracking and volume
  • Fits: stores with a healthy product feed
  • Not for: brand new accounts with nothing to learn from
  • Not for: anyone who needs to see exactly where spend went

Shopping

Product listings with image, price and title pulled from a feed. The feed is the campaign — most Shopping problems are feed problems wearing a disguise.

FITS AND DOES NOT FIT
  • Fits: online stores with clean titles and accurate stock
  • Fits: products people compare before buying
  • Not for: services, or stores with a broken product feed
  • Not for: catalogues where prices are not competitive

Display

Banners across Google's partner sites. Cheap impressions, weak intent. Its honest use is retargeting people who already visited, not introducing you to strangers.

FITS AND DOES NOT FIT
  • Fits: bringing back people who already engaged
  • Fits: supporting a search campaign, not replacing it
  • Not for: direct response from a cold audience
  • Not for: anyone judging it by the same cost per lead as search

YouTube

Video placements with real reach and a longer payback. Judged on view-through and assisted conversions rather than last click, or it will always look like it failed.

FITS AND DOES NOT FIT
  • Fits: businesses with something to demonstrate or explain
  • Fits: building recognition alongside a search campaign
  • Not for: anyone without video assets worth running
  • Not for: budgets that need to prove themselves this week
If your situation only justifies one Search campaign, that is what we will recommend — even though a bigger build would be worth more to us.
WHERE THE BUDGET LEAKS

Four leaks account for most of the money wasted in Google Ads.

Paying for the wrong searches

Without a negative keyword list you pay for people looking for jobs, free options, DIY guides and competitors. It is the most common leak in an inherited account.

WHAT WE DO
  • Build negatives before launch, not after the waste
  • Review search terms weekly in the early phase
  • Separate research intent from buying intent
  • Cut categories that never convert

Match types left wide open

Broad match with no controls hands your budget to Google's guesswork. Used deliberately it can find new demand; used by default it drains the account.

WHAT WE DO
  • Tight match types on the terms that must convert
  • Controlled discovery in a separate, capped campaign
  • Ad groups grouped by intent, not by convenience
  • Ad copy that mirrors the search, so quality score works for you

Sending clicks to a weak page

You pay for the click whether or not the page converts. A homepage is rarely the right destination — the page must answer the exact search that was typed.

WHAT WE DO
  • Match the page to the search intent, not to the menu
  • Check phone speed and the first screen
  • One clear action per page
  • Build the landing page when the existing one cannot do the job

Optimising without conversion data

Clicks and impressions tell you nothing about revenue. If Google cannot see which clicks became enquiries, its automation optimises toward the wrong outcome.

WHAT WE DO
  • Conversion tracking configured before launch
  • Agree what counts as a conversion with you first
  • Report cost per enquiry, not cost per click
  • State plainly what the data can and cannot prove
WHAT MANAGEMENT ACTUALLY MEANS

The work that happens after launch, every week.

Reading what people actually typed and adding negatives for everything irrelevant. Unglamorous, repetitive, and the single biggest source of savings in most accounts.

WHAT CHANGESYour budget stops funding clicks that were never going to convert.

Money moves toward what converts and away from what does not. Bidding strategies are changed deliberately and given time to settle, not switched every time a week looks soft.

WHAT CHANGESThe same spend produces more of the result you asked for.

Ad copy tested against real data rather than opinion, assets and extensions kept complete, landing routes checked when performance shifts.

WHAT CHANGESBetter click-through, better quality score, lower cost per click.

Cost per enquiry, what changed, and what we intend to do next. In business language, with the disappointing months included.

WHAT CHANGESYou can tell whether the spend is working without opening the account.

We will not promise a guaranteed cost per lead or a fixed ad position. Auctions move and competitors bid; anyone guaranteeing those numbers is selling certainty they do not own.

THE MONEY, PLAINLY

Two separate things, never mixed.

PAID TO GOOGLE
  • Your advertising budget, from your own account
  • You set it, change it, or stop it whenever you choose
  • We take no percentage of it
PAID TO QUICKFICKS
  • Research, structure and campaign build
  • Ad copy, assets and landing route
  • Weekly management, pruning and reporting

The fee depends on how much account there is to run. We quote once we have seen it — never before.

Not sure paid search is the right channel at all? The channel guide compares it against paid social and SEO, and paid social is usually the better answer when nobody is searching yet.
