Let me manage & optimise your Google Ads account

If you're new to Google Ads (and other PPC platforms) then you're in for a treat.

Online paid advertising (known as Pay Per Click) is a way of promoting your business to people who are actively searching for your products/services. You get to place your services in front of them right at the point in time that they're searching and therefore most receptive to buying. They are already in the right frame of mind to enquire/buy.

Google Ads serves up one of your specially crafted ads (which links directly to a relevant page on your site) and displays it whenever people search for your products/services. If the searcher clicks your ad, you pay a small amount, ie. you 'Pay Per Click'. All you have to do is set a monthly budget and we'll do the rest - it's hassle-free advertising!

Once the user clicks through to your website, it's down to the site as to how well it 'converts'. A good site (and product/service offering) will convert highly, and give you a good Return On Investment (ROI).

I will provide you with a monthly (or weekly, if required) Google Ads report showing you how much you're spending, how well your campaign is performing and even how many phone calls your ads are generating. This comprehensive report allows you to evaluate your ROI. You get to know how many times your ad appears, how many people clicked the ad, even how many times clicked a 'buy' button.

Keyword Research

Everything starts with research. I will look into what people will be searching to find your business, and ensure your website appears whenever there someone searches for your services/products.

A/B Split Testing

Unlike traditional advertising where you get one shot, I can run ads side by side to see which performs better. I will change text, landing pages, headlines and much more to ensure your account performance improves month on month and year on year.

Account Optimisation

I will ensure you're only paying for clicks from people wanting your services and limiting ads to your specified location. I wlll add 'negative keywords' to ensure you only spend on genuine clicks and not waste ££s on phrases not relevant to your business.

Remarketing

Often, people don't buy/call on their first visit to your site. We use remarketing to display banner ads when your visitors use other websites. You get a 2nd, 3rd and 4th bite at the 'cherry'.

How much does it cost?

With Google Ads, Bing Ads, Facebook Ads (and other social media ads) you "pay" per click (PPC). This means that when your potential customer is searching, you only pay if they click your ad. How much you pay is determined by market forces - your ad goes into an (instantaneous) auction in which Google compares your ad quality, landing page relevance and budget (amongst other things) and then places a value on each 'bid'.

Ad clicks can range from less than £1.00 to over £10 (for highly competitive sectors). Most local companies can pay £1 - £3 per click, meaning if your ad budget is £300, you could get between 100 and 300 clicks each month.

Assuming you get 300 clicks, a percentage of those will contact you (say, 10% ... 30) and a percentage of those will become customers (20% ... 6). To calculate your Return On Investment (ROI) you just need to work out your return from 6 customers for a £300 (plus monthly management fee) advertising spend.

When it comes to reporting, we can tell you how many clicks you received, their demographic (male/female, age etc) and whether your searches are using smartphones or laptop/desktop PCs. We'll tell you how many people click to call your number and the actions they take when they're on your website.

Pay Per Click Advertising is far and away more accountable than traditional offline advertising, such as local newspaper ads. They have their place, particularly when it comes to 'brand awareness', but they cannot give you feedback beyond 'distribution figures'.

What's the management fee?

Google will charge you each time your Ad is clicked (Cost Per Click - CPC). As a business owner, you are free to set up a Google Ads account and run it yourself, paying just for your Ad spend.

I am a Wirral Google Ads freelancer which is fully certified by Google (and Bing) to manage Google Ads account on behalf of customers. For this service, we charge a percentage of the Ad Spend (higher spending accounts tend to be more complex and need more attention) which is 10%, subject to a minimum of £150 per month.

Are there any setup costs?

Yes. Maybe. It depends.

For new accounts, I will speak with you to assess your requirements before submitting a proposal. This will detail the account structure and anticipated Ad Spend.

For existing accounts, we will conduct an audit which allows us to become familiar with the account and 'hit the ground running'.

In both cases, the minimum fee for setup or audit is £250.

Occasionally, I may not need to audit an account. In this case I shall waive the audit fee and commence with the management of the account.

The management fee is payable in advance.
