Why it matters

Most Google Ads accounts quietly waste money. We fix that.

If you have ever felt like your budget disappears with little to show for it, you are not imagining it. Generic keywords, missing negatives, broken tracking and landing pages that do not convert drain spend every single day. Most business owners only find out when the invoice arrives.

We do one thing, and we have done it for 15 years: turn ad spend into qualified enquiries, with most clients seeing meaningful improvement within the first 4 to 6 weeks. Every change is made by a real person on our UK team, checked against your numbers, and explained to you in plain English. No black boxes, no markup on your ad spend, no being passed to a junior.

Common Google Ads mistakes we fix

No results to show for it

Spending every month but the leads and sales just are not coming. We rebuild around the searches that actually convert.

£

Not profitable

Cost per lead too high to make the numbers work. We cut waste and drive your cost per enquiry down so the maths stacks up.

Wasted spend on generic keywords

Broad terms that pull clicks but not customers. We tighten targeting to the searches that actually buy.

Missing negative keywords

Paying for irrelevant searches. We build and maintain negative lists so your budget goes where it counts.

No conversion tracking

Flying blind. We set up proper tracking so every call, form and sale is measured against real results.

Landing pages that don't convert

Traffic with nowhere good to land. We use Nebula heatmaps and recordings to show exactly where visitors drop off, then fix it.

Performance Max on autopilot

PMax left to its own devices quietly burns budget. We set the guardrails and feed it the right signals so it works for you.

An agency that went quiet

No updates, no answers, no idea what you are paying for. You get a named UK manager, James 24/7, and reporting that shows everything.

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.

Wherever you trade, from a single town to the whole of the UK, we build and manage campaigns that reach the right customers in the right places. Our Google Ads management services are the same wherever you are.

A UK team, on UK hours

We match your targeting to your business, whether you serve one area, a region or the entire country, and adjust it as you grow. You can see the full range in our Google Ads management pricing packages.

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.

The basics

What Is Google Ads Management?

Google Ads management is the day-to-day running and continuous improvement of a Google Ads account by a specialist. Rather than setting campaigns live and hoping, a good manager actively curates everything you pay for: the searches you appear on, the ads people see, the amount you bid and the pages visitors land on. Professional Google Ads management services exist because the platform is easy to switch on and genuinely difficult to run well, and the gap between those two things is usually paid for in wasted budget. Here is what the work actually involves, month in, month out.

Search term and keyword curation

Reviewing the real searches that trigger your ads, keeping the profitable ones, adding new keywords worth targeting and cutting the ones that only spend.

Negative keyword protection

Building and maintaining lists of the searches you never want to pay for, so irrelevant clicks stop quietly draining your budget.

Bid and budget management

Adjusting bids and budgets so spend flows towards the campaigns, keywords, locations and times of day that actually produce enquiries.

Ad copy writing and testing

Writing ads people want to click, then testing headlines and descriptions against each other and keeping whatever wins.

Conversion tracking and landing pages

Setting up accurate tracking of calls, forms and sales, and recommending landing page improvements so more of the clicks you pay for turn into customers.

Monthly reporting and strategy

A clear report of what was done, what happened and why, plus a strategy for the month ahead, so the account keeps moving forwards.

Who is it for? Mostly business owners who have better things to do. If you run a small business, you rarely have spare hours to learn the platform's quirks or the appetite to watch it daily, and one wrong setting can cost real money. Google Ads management for small business exists for exactly that reason: you run the business, a specialist runs the account. It is also why plenty of owners still search for AdWords management. The name changed back in 2018, but the account, and the service that looks after it, work exactly the same.

Google Ads is where we spend most of our time, but the same approach covers Microsoft Ads and Bing Ads management and LinkedIn Ads management if your customers are searching or scrolling there too.

Your options

Google Ads Agency vs Freelancer, In-House or DIY

If you are weighing up how to run your Google Ads, here is an honest look at the four routes, and where a specialist Google Ads agency wins.

Do it yourself

Cheapest on paper, but Google Ads is a full-time craft. Most DIY accounts quietly leak budget on the wrong searches, with no one watching click fraud or Quality Score.

Freelancer

Flexible and often cheaper, but you rely on one person with no cover, no tool suite and variable experience. Progress stalls the moment they are busy or away.

In-house hire

Full control, but a good PPC manager is expensive to employ, and a single hire rarely has deep experience across every account type, sector and bidding strategy.

Best value

A Google Ads agency (DPOM)

A senior UK team that has done nothing but Google Ads for 15 years, a Google Partner, with click fraud protection, a CRO platform and AI tools built in free, for less than the cost of a part-time hire.

Pricing

Simple, Transparent Google Ads Management Pricing

A flat monthly fee based on your ad spend tier. No percentage of spend, no hidden costs. You always know exactly what you pay. Choose the plan that fits where you are right now, and change tier at any time.

Questions

Google Ads Agency & Management FAQs

Are AdWords and Google Ads the same thing?

Yes. Google renamed AdWords to Google Ads in 2018. It is the same platform, and AdWords management and Google Ads management are the same service. We have specialised in it for 15 years.

How much does Google Ads management cost in the UK?

A flat monthly fee from £145/mo +VAT, based on your ad spend tier. No percentage of spend. A one-off setup fee applies only if a new Google Ads account or conversion tracking needs building.

Is there a minimum ad spend?

No hard minimum to work with us. Our Starter tier suits smaller budgets up to £2,000 per month.

Am I tied into a long contract?

No. No long contracts, cancel anytime with 31 days notice. We earn your business every month.

How long until I see results?

Most clients see meaningful improvements within the first 4 to 6 weeks, with momentum building from there.

Do I own my account and data?

Yes, completely. If you ever leave, you keep everything. No hostage tactics.

What is included in the fee, and are there markups on ad spend?

Full management, tools and reporting. No markup on your ad spend, ever.

How is this different from in-house or a freelancer?

Fifteen years of specialist experience, a senior UK team, Google Partner status and a free tool suite, for less than the cost of a part-time hire.

Do you work with small businesses?

Yes. We are small business Google Ads management specialists, with a Starter tier built for smaller budgets and senior UK management on every plan.

Will I have a dedicated UK account manager?

From our Standard tier, yes. Every tier gets senior UK management and James, your free AI assistant, 24/7.

Are you a Google Partner and certified?

Yes, DPOM is a Google Partner and our team is Google Ads certified.

What is the difference between the management fee and my ad budget?

The management fee pays us. Your ad budget is paid to Google and is entirely yours.

What does a Google Ads agency do?

A Google Ads agency plans, builds and manages your campaigns end to end: keyword and audience research, writing ads, setting up conversion tracking, managing bids and budgets, protecting you from click fraud, and reporting on the results. A good agency is judged on cost per enquiry and return on ad spend, not vanity metrics.

How much does a Google Ads agency cost?

Fees vary. Many agencies charge a percentage of your ad spend, which gets more expensive as you grow. We charge a flat monthly fee from £145/mo +VAT based on your spend tier, with no markup on your ad budget and no long contract.

How do I choose the right Google Ads agency?

Look for Google Partner status, real experience in accounts like yours, transparent fixed pricing, clear reporting, and no long lock-in contract. Make sure you keep ownership of your account and data. We offer a free, no-obligation audit so you can see our thinking before you commit.
