Google Ads for Small Business
Small business PPC that actually pays back.
Specialist PPC management for small businesses across the UK. We build and manage Google Ads campaigns that bring in real leads and sales - not just clicks - starting from £500/month in ad spend.
What our small business PPC service includes.
Everything needed to run profitable Google Ads campaigns - from strategy and setup to ongoing management and reporting.
Campaign setup and structure
Most small business campaigns fail before they start because they're built wrong. We structure your campaigns by intent, audience, and product or service so that the right ad reaches the right person at the right moment - and your budget isn't bleeding on irrelevant clicks.
Keyword research and negative keywords
We research the exact terms your customers search for and build a tightly controlled keyword list - including an ongoing negative keyword strategy that stops your budget being wasted on searches that will never convert.
Ad copy that converts
Good ads don't just get clicks - they attract the right clicks. We write and test multiple versions of your ads, continuously identifying what messaging drives qualified leads for your specific business and audience.
Bid strategy and budget optimisation
We manage your bidding to get maximum return from your monthly budget - whether that's manual bidding for tighter control in early campaigns, or smart bidding strategies once there's enough conversion data to let the machine learn.
Conversion tracking and reporting
You'll know exactly what's working. We set up proper conversion tracking (calls, forms, purchases) and deliver clear monthly reports tied to real business outcomes - the numbers that connect to your bottom line.
Landing page recommendations
Getting the click is half the job. We review your landing pages and provide actionable recommendations to improve conversion rates - so your ad spend goes further without increasing your budget.

What makes us different for small businesses.
Smart management matters most at smaller budgets, where every pound genuinely counts.
We work with budgets from £500/month
Some agencies won't look at you unless you're spending thousands. We start from £500/month in ad spend - because we believe smart management matters most at smaller budgets, where every pound genuinely counts.
No lock-in contracts
We don't believe in holding clients in place with long contracts. If we're doing a good job, you'll want to stay. We work on a rolling monthly basis as standard.
Senior team on your account
You won't be handed off to a junior after the sales call. The same experienced people who onboard you manage your campaigns month to month.
We focus on leads and sales - not vanity metrics
We don't pad reports with impressions and click-through rates. Our reporting starts with what matters to you: leads generated, cost per lead, and return on your spend.
Google Partner certified
We're a certified Google Partner - meaning our team's skills are verified by Google and we have access to beta features and additional support not available to standard advertisers.
Small business PPC questions, answered honestly.
Can't find what you're looking for? Get in touch and we'll answer directly.
Contact usYes - when managed correctly, Google Ads is one of the most effective channels for small businesses because it puts your business in front of people who are actively searching for what you offer. The key is proper setup, ongoing optimisation, and realistic expectations about budget and timeline. Done well, it consistently delivers a strong return on investment.
We work with businesses starting from £500 per month in ad spend. That's enough to run a focused, well-targeted campaign in most markets - particularly if you're in a niche or local area. The right budget ultimately depends on your industry, competition level, and what a new customer is worth to you. We always recommend starting lean, proving the model, then scaling what works.
Most businesses start seeing leads and enquiries within the first 2-4 weeks of a well-structured campaign. However, the first 90 days are really the learning phase - campaigns improve significantly as conversion data builds up and we refine targeting, bids, and messaging.
You can - but most small business owners who try it find they either spend too much on the wrong clicks or don't have time to manage it properly alongside running their business. Google's own interface is designed to encourage spend, not to protect your budget. A specialist agency typically pays for itself within the first few months by reducing wasted spend and improving conversion rates.
Google Search Ads appear at the top of search results when someone types a relevant query - they're the most direct form of intent-based advertising. Google also offers Display Ads (banner ads across websites), Shopping Ads (for ecommerce), and YouTube Ads (video). For most small businesses, Search Ads are the best starting point because they capture people who are already looking for your product or service.
No. We work on a rolling monthly basis. We believe the best retention strategy is doing great work - not locking clients in.
To launch a Google Ads campaign, you'll need: a Google Ads account (we can set this up for you), a website with clear landing pages, and conversion tracking in place (calls, forms, or purchases). We handle the setup of all of this as part of onboarding.
We measure what matters to your business: leads generated, cost per lead, and return on ad spend. We don't focus on impressions or click-through rates as primary metrics - these don't pay your bills.
