Google Search Ads management
Build campaigns around relevant, high-intent searches, with clear ad groups, responsive search ads and location settings matched to your service area.
Get in front of people actively searching for what you offer. MARQ provides Google Ads management and PPC services for London small businesses — with considered targeting, useful conversion tracking and continual campaign improvement.
Effective PPC management is more than switching ads on. Our Google Ads management services bring together campaign structure, search intent, relevant creative, measurement and ongoing decisions that support your commercial goals.
Build campaigns around relevant, high-intent searches, with clear ad groups, responsive search ads and location settings matched to your service area.
Identify commercial keywords, refine match types and review search terms to exclude irrelevant queries and reduce wasted clicks.
Review Google Ads conversions, GA4 events, calls and form submissions so campaign decisions are informed by meaningful signals.
Develop useful, policy-compliant ad messaging and test variations of headlines, descriptions and assets against search intent.
Monitor spend, auction conditions and bidding strategies; make changes based on available data, goals and account maturity.
Assess message match, mobile experience and enquiry friction, with practical recommendations for pages receiving paid traffic.
Search, Shopping and Performance Max serve different purposes. Effective PPC advertising starts with the customer journey, your product or service and reliable measurement — not the campaign type with the loudest sales pitch.
Show relevant text adverts for searches connected to your services. Suitable for many London trades, professional services and other businesses where search intent is clear.
Present eligible products using a Merchant Center feed. A suitable option for ecommerce retailers with accurate product data, compliant listings and purchase tracking.
Access multiple Google advertising placements through goal-based campaigns. We assess conversion data, creative assets and suitability before recommending this approach.
For location-based businesses, we review boroughs, postcodes, service areas, presence settings, business hours and call or enquiry goals. Google location targeting is approximate; performance depends on budget, demand and competition.
A structured Google Ads process helps distinguish activity from progress. We start with what your customers search for and use the evidence available to make the next decision.
Review your business goals, target areas, offers, website, competitors and any existing Google Ads data before proposing an approach.
Set up or reorganise campaigns, keywords, negative keywords, ad assets, audience signals and measurement for the agreed scope.
Check approvals and tracking, then review actual search terms, spend, enquiries and other useful signals as data becomes available.
Refine targeting, copy, bids, budgets and landing-page recommendations. Report on what changed and what the data can reasonably show.
Not “how many clicks did we buy?” but “did we reach the right people — and what happened next?”
Choose the management level that fits your current advertising needs. Every package is a monthly agency management fee; your Google Ads media spend is additional and paid separately.
For smaller businesses starting with focused Google Search Ads management.
For businesses ready to refine multiple priorities and improve lead quality.
For established advertisers with more complex campaign and optimisation needs.
Important: Prices shown are MARQ management fees, not advertising budgets. Google Ads spend is separate, and suitability of specific campaign types depends on your business, assets and agreed scope. No fixed lead volume, cost per lead or ROAS is promised.

Whether you run a London service business, a local company or an online shop, Google Ads management should be tied to your offer, service area, margins and capacity to handle enquiries. We avoid one-size-fits-all campaign promises.
Google Ads can complement organic SEO and local SEO, but paid campaigns need their own strategy and budget. If you are considering paid and organic search together, we can help you plan the split.
Your business should retain control of its Google Ads account and billing. We request access needed to manage the agreed campaigns.
Clicks alone are not the objective. We prioritise tracking enquiries and commercial outcomes where data quality allows.
Management fees and advertising spend are distinct. You approve the media budget and know what is being managed.
We focus on search-term relevance, ad quality, location settings, bidding, landing pages and the work that makes campaigns more useful.
Straight answers about Google Ads management, PPC budgets, campaign setup and what a London business can expect.
A Google Ads management agency plans, builds, monitors and improves paid search campaigns. Work can include keyword research, ad copy, negative keywords, conversion tracking, bid and budget decisions, landing-page recommendations and performance reporting.
MARQ Google Ads management starts at £250 per month. The Growth package is £550 per month and the Scale package is £800 per month. Your advertising spend is paid separately to Google.
No. The monthly management fee pays for campaign strategy and ongoing work. The media budget you choose is billed separately by Google Ads. We agree budgets and account access before launching campaigns.
Ads may begin appearing once a campaign is approved and active, but useful lead volume and efficiency depend on competition, search demand, targeting, budget, the offer and landing-page experience. We do not guarantee leads or return on ad spend.
Yes. MARQ focuses on practical Google Search Ads management for small businesses, including local service providers and businesses that need qualified enquiries from high-intent searches.
Yes. We can review search terms, campaign structure, tracking, ad relevance, bidding, location settings and landing pages, then prioritise improvements based on the account data and your goals.
Where appropriate for the business and the agreed package scope, we can assess Performance Max or Shopping alongside Search. Product feeds, Merchant Center readiness, asset requirements and conversion tracking are reviewed before recommending these campaign types.
PPC places paid ads in eligible search placements and incurs advertising costs when users interact with them. SEO improves organic search visibility over time. Both can work together, but they have different budgets, timelines and measurement methods.
We recommend that the business owns its Google Ads account and billing relationship, with MARQ receiving the appropriate management access. This helps preserve transparency and access to campaign history.
Measurement can include qualified enquiries, calls, form submissions, conversion rate, cost per lead and other agreed business outcomes. We first check whether tracking is technically reliable and whether consent settings affect the available data.
Yes. Campaigns can use geographic targeting for relevant London boroughs or service areas, with settings reviewed against the business location, customer reach and available budget. Location targeting is not perfectly precise.
A dedicated landing page is not always required, but the destination must match the advert and make the next step clear. We review page relevance, mobile usability, speed, trust signals and conversion friction before recommending changes.
Negative keywords help prevent adverts appearing for irrelevant searches. We review actual search terms and exclude unsuitable queries to improve targeting; this can reduce wasted spend but cannot eliminate every irrelevant click.
Google Ads allows location targeting around areas such as Camden, Hackney, Croydon or Westminster, subject to campaign settings. We tailor coverage to your real service area and review location reports because geographic targeting is not perfectly accurate.
We review Google Ads conversion actions, Google Analytics 4 events, call tracking and form enquiries where relevant. Any implementation or additional development is confirmed in the agreed package scope, and tracking must respect consent and privacy requirements.
