What it is

Senior, Hands-On Management For Established Advertisers

Google Ads Elite is our top tier, built for established advertisers and larger budgets that need advanced strategy and serious growth. You get a fixed management fee of £695 per month, and at this level the account is run by senior people with director-level oversight on forecasting, not handed to autopilot.

Elite manages up to £15,000 per month of Google Ads ad spend. That ad budget is yours and is entirely separate from the £695 monthly management fee. If you spend above £15,000 per month, we simply prepare a custom quote tailored to the work involved, with no percentage of spend, ever.

It suits ambitious brands and larger retailers who want the highest service level we offer: two dedicated account managers, a senior strategist as your primary contact, priority phone support and bespoke creative. As a Google Partner with 15 years of experience and hundreds of five-star reviews, we make every pound of that budget accountable.

How we work

Your First 90 Days, Mapped Out

No mystery about what happens after you enquire. Here is the plan at a glance, then the full step-by-step detail.

Day 1

Kickoff and audit

We learn your business and audit your account, or build from scratch. Sentinel click fraud protection is switched on from day one.

Week 1

Build and launch

Campaigns built, conversion tracking set up, ads written and live.

Weeks 2-4

Optimise

We gather real data and tune targeting, bids and ad copy. Most clients see meaningful improvements within the first 4 to 6 weeks.

Ongoing

Grow and report

Monthly report and strategy session, then continuous optimisation toward more enquiries at a lower cost.

Rocket
Step 1 Onboarding

Step 1

Onboarding

We start by having your dedicated Google Ads specialist talk to you about your goals and objectives in addition to learning as much about your business as possible. We do this with both a questionnaire and a detailed discussion with your account manager. During this process we discuss in detail your ROI goals, what makes your business stand out and how we can maximise your results as your Google Ads agency.

Step 2 Research

Step 2

Research

We'll analyse your account data and research your competitors to give us a strong foundation to build and optimise your campaigns. If you're new to Google Ads and PPC in general, we'll perform keyword research and develop an understanding of how your customers will find you. This, combined with your onboarding questionnaire, will help us build and/or optimise your PPC campaigns to deliver the best possible ROI.

Step 3 Conversion Tracking

Step 3

Conversion Tracking

We can't improve what we can't measure, so one of the very first steps with any Google Ads account is to configure conversion tracking correctly. This allows us to learn which keywords and ads generate phone calls, emails, forms and, of course, sales. Many PPC agencies struggle to correctly track conversions; however our in house technical experts will work with you to ensure all conversions are tracked accurately.

Step 4 Account Build and Initial Optimisation

Step 4

Account Build & Initial Optimisation

Using the information learned in the previous stages, we'll get to work crafting campaigns that will encourage website visitors to buy or get in touch to learn more about your services or products. We'll use the campaign types that are most likely to provide the results you expect and work closely with you to ensure you fully understand the process and what to expect next.

Step 5 Build and Initial Optimisation Complete

Step 5

Build/Initial Optimisation Complete

We will let you know our initial work is complete and provide you with an opportunity to review your new campaigns and provide feedback. We believe working collaboratively generates the best results, so we value any and all feedback you provide. Once the initial PPC campaign is built we will get to work optimising it, and as we analyse your PPC data, we'll make incremental changes to your ad campaigns to drive further results.

Step 6 Launch

Step 6

Launch

Once you're happy we go live and start to collect initial data. We then optimise based on this data to learn what drives visitors to convert and then to manage your Google Ads and optimise them to maximise results. We'll then provide regular reports and discuss progress on an ongoing basis. Over the next few months, your PPC campaigns will evolve further as we optimise based on the data within your Google Ads campaign.

Step 7 Data Gathering and Analysis

Step 7

Data Gathering & Analysis

After launch, we focus on collecting meaningful data rather than making knee-jerk changes. We monitor search terms, audience signals, devices and locations to understand how real customers are interacting with your ads. This early data gives us the evidence we need to make smart decisions instead of guesswork.

Step 8 Initial Optimisation

Step 8

Initial Optimisation

Using the first wave of data, we begin initial optimisations: refining keywords, updating ad copy, adjusting bids and tightening audience targeting. At this stage we’re still in the “learning” phase, so the goal is to steadily improve efficiency and cut obvious waste, not to achieve perfection overnight.

Research and strategy for Google Ads management

Step 9

Monthly Report & Strategy Session

We’ll provide a detailed monthly report and arrange a meeting to walk you through the early results and plan the next steps together. We’re very transparent: we don’t expect campaigns to be highly profitable straight away and it can often take 3+ months of data and refinement before performance really takes off.

Step 10 Ongoing Optimisation

Step 10

Ongoing Optimisation & Growth

Each month we use the previous month’s data to further refine your campaigns: testing new ideas, reallocating budget towards top performers and reacting to seasonal trends. We’ll continue regular review meetings so we can collaborate on the approach, align with your wider business goals and keep pushing results forward.

How it compares

How Elite Compares To Standard And Beyond

Elite sits at the top of the ladder. Here is exactly what it adds, and what happens when you outgrow it.

Our managed packages run Starter at £145, Lite at £295, Standard at £445 (our most popular tier), and Elite at £695, all fixed monthly fees with no percentage of spend. Standard is excellent value for growing advertisers, and Elite is the step up for established brands that want senior people and a larger managed budget.

Over Standard, Elite adds two account managers plus a senior strategist and director-level oversight, a larger managed budget of up to £15,000 per month of ad spend, and bespoke creative and landing-page experiments. If your ad spend goes above £15,000 per month, a custom quote is available, priced on the work involved rather than a cut of your budget.

You can see every tier side by side and get an instant price with our quote tool. Visit our PPC pricing packages page for the full comparison and an instant quote tailored to you.

What our clients say

We would rather let our clients do the talking. Here is what real UK businesses say about working with us.

Sectors

Industries We Help With Google Ads

Fifteen years across very different markets means we have almost certainly run Google Ads in yours. Tap your sector to see how we help.

Plumbers, electricians, builders and roofers. We win you local, ready-to-hire enquiries with tight location targeting, call tracking and ads that show up the moment someone needs the job doing, not tyre-kickers.

From personal injury to conveyancing, we target high-intent legal searches, filter out the time-wasters with smart negatives, and track form and call enquiries so you see exactly which case types your spend brings in.

Shopping, PMax and Search built around margin, not just revenue. Feed optimisation, product-level bidding and Nebula CRO on your product pages to turn more clicks into checkouts.

Clinics, dentists, cosmetic and private healthcare. Compliant, sensitive ad copy that builds trust, with bidding focused on booked consultations and high-value treatments.

Longer sales cycles need smarter tracking. We target decision-makers, optimise to qualified leads and demo bookings rather than vanity clicks, and feed your CRM the data it needs.

Demo and trial sign-ups at a cost that works for your LTV. Search and PMax tuned to in-market buyers, with conversion tracking that follows the funnel from click to MQL.

FCA-aware campaigns for brokers, advisers and lenders. Careful keyword and audience work to reach genuine prospects in a high-cost, high-scrutiny space.

Estate agents, lettings, removals and home improvement. Local-first targeting and seasonal bid management to capture demand exactly when and where it spikes.

Resorts, attractions and experiences. We drive bookings with demand-led budgets, strong creative and remarketing that brings browsers back to buy.

Course providers, training and recruitment-into-education. We fill places and drive applications with intent-led search and tight cost-per-enquiry control.

Niche, technical products with small audiences. Precise keyword work and Microsoft Ads where your buyers actually search, with quote-request tracking.

Restaurants, venues and food brands. Local awareness and bookings driven through Search, PMax and social, tuned to covers and orders, not just impressions.

Dealers, garages and motor services. We capture high-intent local searches and track calls and bookings so every pound is measured against real jobs won.

We help you make the most of the Google Ad Grant alongside paid search, driving donations, sign-ups and awareness on a tight budget.

Google Ads Elite FAQs

Google Ads Elite FAQs
