Whose Google Ads account is it?

Yours. It is set up in your name and your card pays Google directly. If we stop working together you keep the account, the history and the data that makes it work.

How much should I spend on Google Ads?

It depends on your trade and how competitive it is locally. The honest answer is that I would need to look at the searches in your area before giving you a number, and I would rather do that than guess.

How quickly do ads start bringing enquiries?

Usually within the first week, which is the main reason to run them alongside SEO rather than instead of it.

Do you run Meta and Facebook ads too?

Yes, and social media management alongside them where it makes sense. For most trades Google is where the ready-to-buy searches are, so that is usually where I would start.

Google Ads in Milton Keynes

Paid search for Milton Keynes businesses, with the tracking wired up before a penny is spent.

Management fee on top of your own ad budget.

Ads are the fastest way to get enquiries, and the fastest way to waste money if nobody is measuring what comes back. I set up the tracking first so that from day one you can see what an enquiry cost, not just how many people saw the ad.

The budget is yours and sits in your own Google account. You can see it, change it and stop it without going through me.

How I run it

Conversion tracking set up before anything goes live: calls, forms, WhatsApp clicks.
Campaigns aimed at the searches that turn into work, not the ones with the most traffic.
Targeting set to Milton Keynes and the area you actually cover.
The landing page checked, because sending paid clicks to a slow page is money gone.
Negative keywords kept up, so you stop paying for searches that were never going to call.
A monthly note: spend, enquiries, and cost per enquiry.

What it costs

A management fee on top of your ad budget. The budget goes straight to Google from your own account rather than through me, so there is no markup on your spend and nothing to take your word for.

What to budget depends entirely on your trade and how competitive the search is in Milton Keynes. I would rather look at it and tell you a real number than print a figure here that turns out to be wrong.

Ads or SEO?

Ads bring enquiries this week and stop the day you stop paying. SEO takes a few months and keeps working. Most small businesses are best off doing both for a while and leaning on ads less over time, which is what I would suggest unless there is a reason not to.
