Our PPC management process

Our PPC management
process.

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.

01

Audit the opportunity

Review your business goals, target areas, offers, website, competitors and any existing Google Ads data before proposing an approach.

02

Build the right structure

Set up or reorganise campaigns, keywords, negative keywords, ad assets, audience signals and measurement for the agreed scope.

03

Launch and learn

Check approvals and tracking, then review actual search terms, spend, enquiries and other useful signals as data becomes available.

04

Optimise with evidence

Refine targeting, copy, bids, budgets and landing-page recommendations. Report on what changed and what the data can reasonably show.

A better question

Not “how many clicks did we buy?” but “did we reach the right people — and what happened next?”

Paid search with accountability

A London PPC agency
for real businesses.

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.

01

Clear account ownership

Your business should retain control of its Google Ads account and billing. We request access needed to manage the agreed campaigns.

02

Meaningful conversions

Clicks alone are not the objective. We prioritise tracking enquiries and commercial outcomes where data quality allows.

03

Transparent budget decisions

Management fees and advertising spend are distinct. You approve the media budget and know what is being managed.

04

Practical optimisation

We focus on search-term relevance, ad quality, location settings, bidding, landing pages and the work that makes campaigns more useful.

Google Ads FAQs

Google Ads
management FAQs.

Straight answers about Google Ads management, PPC budgets, campaign setup and what a London business can expect.

What does a Google Ads management agency do?

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.

How much does Google Ads management cost in London?

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.

Is Google Ads spend included in the management fee?

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.

How quickly can Google Ads generate enquiries?

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.

Do you manage Google Search Ads for small businesses?

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.

Can you improve an existing PPC account?

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.

Do you offer Performance Max and Shopping campaign management?

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.

What is the difference between SEO and PPC?

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.

Will I keep ownership of my Google Ads account?

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.

How do you measure Google Ads results?

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.

Can Google Ads target specific London areas?

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.

Do I need a landing page for Google Ads?

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.

What are negative keywords in Google Ads?

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.

Can Google Ads target customers in specific London boroughs?

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.

Do you help with Google Ads conversion tracking and GA4?

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.
