When Google Ads is a strategic lever – and when it’s not
Google Ads delivers measurable growth when you have defined conversion goals and the capacity to act on performance data. If your business generates demand or has a clear pricing proposition, paid search lets you capture high‑intent traffic efficiently, with senior‑led strategy, disciplined optimisation and ROI‑linked performance tracking.
If your conversion path lacks clarity, tracking is fragmented, or you’re unsure what true demand looks like, scaling spend can amplify inefficiencies. In those cases, we start with a diagnostic to uncover structural opportunities in offer, funnel and measurement before activating full‑scale Google Ads.
This approach ensures commercial impact from day one – not vanity metrics devoid of revenue context.
Decide whether Google Ads is right for you
When you work we us, the first thing we do is agree what “good” looks like in board terms – targets, margins, lead quality and time-to-value – and make sure measurement can support it (including CRM and offline conversion signals where available).
Then we build and optimise campaigns against that reality. You’ll see performance in live dashboards, understand what changed and why, and have a clear view of the next actions, so investment decisions are confident, explainable and commercially justified.
See what Google Ads can deliver
We’ve helped brands across industries scale quickly and sustainably with Google Ads:
How we deliver Google Ads with commercial discipline
Capture high-intent demand efficiently by diagnosing intent coverage and conversion constraints first, then governing spend through ROI visibility.
Blueprint
Diagnostics across intent, keyword coverage, landing experience and tracking integrity, so campaigns are built around what converts, not what looks good in-platform.
Digital P&L
A commercial performance model linking spend to revenue/pipeline and marginal returns, supporting confident budget and bidding decisions.
Delivery
Structured build and optimisation (query control, creatives, landing alignment, feed/PMax governance) with transparent reporting against targets.
Start strategy-first – or begin delivery sooner
The strongest programmes start with the Blueprint (once) and Digital P&L (once), then scale delivery. If timelines require immediate execution, we can begin with diagnostic onboarding and performance reporting setup to govern early delivery – then complete the Blueprint and Digital P&L as a dedicated strategic phase when timelines allow. Either route maintains the same commercial accountability – targets first, transparent reporting and disciplined delivery.

Delivery onboarding: what happens in the first 30 days
Search delivery starts with intent clarity, measurement integrity and a governed optimisation cadence. If a Blueprint/Digital P&L exists we align to it; if not, we establish targets and reporting as part of onboarding before scaling budgets.
Governed onboarding
Audit account structure and intent coverage; identify wasted spend and missed demand; align keywords, ads and landing journeys to commercial intent.
Reporting foundation
Validate conversion tracking, value rules and attribution assumptions; set targets by intent tier; establish reporting that leadership can govern (not click-only).
First sprint delivery
Rebuild/optimise campaigns and ads; implement negatives and query control; launch controlled tests (ads, audiences, landing alignment) and begin weekly optimisation cadence.

Not sure which campaigns you actually need?
Not sure which Google Ads campaigns will deliver the highest ROI? Start with our Digital Performance Blueprint to diagnose the opportunity.
Most campaigns begin generating data and early conversions within the first few weeks. For meaningful optimisation and ROI, we recommend a 2- to 3-month learning phase. During this time, we use real-time performance data to refine targeting, bids and messaging. Because we forecast results using your historic data and benchmarks, you’ll always know what we expect to achieve and when.
No long-term contract is required, but most clients choose a six-month retainer for consistent optimisation. We also offer a two-month pilot for brands new to paid ads – ideal for gathering data before committing to a longer-term strategy.
We don’t guarantee fixed numbers because results depend on many variables, but we do set clear, data-driven ROI targets at the outset. Using your historical data and our campaign benchmarks, we forecast achievable performance and adjust monthly to stay on track. Our goal is always to beat the committed target, not simply hit it.
We combine keyword intent mapping, CRO insights and the Infinity-5 Framework to link ad spend directly to measurable ROI. Each campaign is managed by a senior strategist, not software alone, and you’ll see live performance data via your dashboard. We focus on profitable growth – not vanity clicks.
Yes. You own all accounts, data and campaign history. We manage everything transparently within your environment. In special cases where large organisations prefer us to run ads through our own account for procurement reasons, we can – but client ownership is always our preferred and recommended setup.
Campaign setup, keyword research, ad copy creation, conversion tracking, bid strategy, performance testing and ongoing optimisation. You’ll receive live reporting and monthly strategy reviews. Every activity ties back to your ROI targets.
We provide a live dashboard plus monthly reviews showing impressions, clicks, CTR, conversions, CPA and ROAS. Reports link directly to business outcomes so you can see what’s driving revenue, not just traffic.
Absolutely. We often collaborate with internal marketing or creative teams and other partner agencies. Our process is transparent, with shared dashboards and clear communication so everyone works toward the same ROI goals.
It depends on your goals and industry CPCs, but we typically work with brands investing £5k – £50k+ monthly, but pilot smaller programs for high-growth potential startups. This allows enough volume to test, optimise and scale efficiently.
