Inside the service

What $1,300 a month buys

Search intent is the most expensive and most valuable traffic there is. We make sure every dollar goes toward searches that end in calls, bookings and sales, not research clicks from students.

Runs in your ad account, on your pixel. Leave anytime and keep everything.

Search campaigns

Keyword builds, match-type discipline and ad copy that answers the searcher's actual question.

Negative keyword hygiene

Weekly pruning of the searches you shouldn't pay for. Most accounts we inherit waste 30% here.

Shopping & PMax

Feed optimisation and Performance Max structured so it doesn't cannibalise your brand terms.

Call tracking

Every call attributed to the keyword that caused it. You'll know exactly which search rang the phone.

Formats that pull weight

Where Google spends your money

Search captures people already looking for you, Shopping wins for e-commerce with a clean feed, and Performance Max works once we've fenced off your brand terms so it can't cheat the numbers.

PMax without brand exclusions is Google patting itself on the back with your budget. We fence it first.

Who we aim at

Keywords are the targeting

On Google, the search query tells you intent better than any audience profile. We build around money terms first, the searches people make when they're ready to buy, then expand into research terms only when the maths allows.

Tap segments to build a sample audience:

Estimated audience size

The most expensive keyword is often the wrong one. 'Emergency plumber' beats 'plumbing tips' every single day.

Putting a price anchor in the headline scared off tyre-kickers and doubled the CTR. Sometimes the best optimisation is telling people what things cost.

Fair questions

Google Ads, asked often

Google clicks are expensive. Is it worth it?
Per click, yes it's pricey. Per customer, it's often the cheapest channel because the searcher already wants what you sell. We judge it on cost per sale, not cost per click, and we'll show you that maths on the audit.
Should I bid on my own brand name?
Usually yes, it's cheap insurance against competitors buying your name. But we cap it hard so Google can't use brand clicks to make PMax look better than it is.
Can you take over an account another agency built?
Happens every month. We audit first, keep what's working, and rebuild what's not. You keep the account and its history either way since it's yours.
How much spend does Search need?
From $3,000 a month for most local services, more for competitive niches like legal or finance. CPCs there are brutal, and we'll tell you if your niche prices you out before you sign.
