// Service · Paid Search

Capture the demand that's already looking for you.

Google Ads and Microsoft Ads campaigns built to win the highest-intent traffic in your category and turn it into new customers. Specialists running structure, bidding, and creative end-to-end - tuned to the outcomes that move your business, not the metrics that flatter the dashboard.

// How we think about paid search

Most paid search problems are strategy problems.

Paid search rewards clear thinking more than clever tactics. Four principles shape every account we run - whether the goal is ecommerce sales or B2B pipeline.

01

Start from intent, not templates

Campaigns are structured around what the searcher actually wants - and the margin that intent carries - not Google's default account shapes. Branded, generic, competitor and long-tail demand each get handled on their own terms.

02

Bid to your economics, not the platform's

Smart Bidding is only as good as the target you feed it. We bid to your real numbers - true cost per acquisition for ecommerce, qualified-lead and pipeline value for B2B - not the platform's default CPA.

03

Know what's incremental

Brand and non-brand are handled honestly. We separate the demand you would have won anyway from the demand the account genuinely creates, so budget goes where it actually moves the needle.

04

Measurement feeds the bidding

Automated bidding learns from the conversions you give it. Clean tracking, the right signals and accurate values are not a side project - they are what makes the strategy compound instead of drift.

// What we run

The full surface of paid search, owned by expert hands.

Paid search comes down to two engines - Google Ads and Microsoft Ads - and the campaign types within them. We run the surfaces that fit your model: profitable sales for ecommerce brands, qualified pipeline for B2B teams.

01

Google Search

The core of paid search. Branded, generic, competitor and long-tail keyword campaigns that capture people already looking for what you sell - structured by margin and tuned to your real cost per customer. Works as hard for B2B lead generation as it does for ecommerce.

02

Shopping & Performance Max

For ecommerce. Feed-led Standard Shopping and Performance Max built around product margin, not just revenue - with asset groups built on real customer logic and brand traffic kept under control.

03

Microsoft Ads

The second search engine, run as a first-class channel - not an afterthought. Often the most profitable place to be in B2B, finance and professional services, where the audience and lower competition reward it.

04

Feeds & Google CSS

The technical engine behind Shopping performance. Feed health, title and attribute structure, margin-tier labelling, and Comparison Shopping Service partner pricing that lifts Shopping ROI by around 20% - without touching the campaigns.

// The data we plan around

Where demand actually is - not where you think it is.

Most paid search plans start with assumed demand. The real shape of it sits in Google Trends - free, live, public. We use it to set bid seasonality, time ad copy refreshes, plan budget pacing through Q4 and sale windows, and challenge clients on where the demand they're chasing actually exists. Worth knowing about your category.

// How we work

Keep what's working. Fix what isn't. No downtime in between.

We're not the kind of agency that turns up, rips your account apart, and asks you to wait three months for the algorithm to relearn. The work happens around what's already performing - we protect it, then improve everything else in deliberate, evidence-led changes.

1

Diagnose & protect

Audit live performance, tracking, and account architecture. Identify what's earning its keep and what's quietly leaking. Anything performing stays running while we plan the rest.

2

Surgical change

Targeted fixes layered in over weeks, not a big-bang rebuild. Brand isolation, intent separation, bid-strategy refinement, feed work - sequenced so learning data is preserved at every step.

3

Daily operation

Active account management with specialist eyes. Bidding, creative, negatives, query-mining, feed health - touched daily, with the strategic decisions documented so you can see why they were made.

4

Strategic review

Quarterly step-back: what's compounding, what's plateauing, where the next quarter's leverage sits. Reporting tied to revenue and customer acquisition - not platform vanity metrics.
