The Manchester PPC agency that treats your budget like its own
Google Ads, paid social and remarketing run to a target cost per lead, with a monthly report that accounts for every pound you spent.
Paid Advertising services
The people searching for what you sell are on Google right now. We make sure you’re there, at a cost per lead that makes sense.
Learn more → Paid SocialGoogle catches people already looking. Facebook and Instagram ads put you in front of the ones who aren’t. Profitably, if they’re done properly.
Learn more → LinkedIn AdsNowhere else lets you target by job title, company and seniority. We’ll tell you honestly whether your deal size justifies the click prices.
Learn more → RemarketingMost visitors leave without enquiring. That’s normal. Letting them forget you existed is the expensive part. Remarketing fixes it, without the stalking.
Learn more →Paid advertising has one honest advantage over everything else in marketing: the numbers are all there. What you spent, what it cost per click, what each enquiry cost you. Which makes it remarkable how many agencies still send reports full of impressions and “brand visibility”. We manage PPC for Manchester businesses to a target cost per lead, agreed up front, and report against it every month to the pound.
The work covers Google Ads for people already searching for what you sell, paid social for reaching the ones who aren’t yet, and remarketing to bring back the visitors who looked and left. What it doesn’t cover is waste: no set-and-forget campaigns, no spend quietly draining into broad match keywords nobody checked, no markup hidden inside your ad budget.
One thing we will tell you that most agencies won’t: ads are only half the machine. A click costs the same whether your page converts at 2% or 8%, which is why we usually pair campaigns with landing pages built to convert, and why, if your margins would suit owning traffic instead of renting it, we’ll say so and point you at SEO.

Questions, answered honestly
How will we know it’s working?
You will see it in the monthly report: spend, leads, cost per lead against the target we agreed, and what we are changing next. Tracking is set up so every enquiry is attributed to its campaign, which means the answer comes from your data, not our opinion. If the numbers are not moving, you will hear it from us first.
What do you need from us to get started?
Access to your ad accounts and analytics, or permission to set them up, a clear picture of your margins so we can agree a sensible target cost per lead, and someone who can answer questions about your customers. That is genuinely it. Most of the delay in launching campaigns is access admin, so the faster that arrives, the faster we build.
How quickly will I see results?
Campaigns go live within one to two weeks of getting access. You’ll see clicks and leads almost immediately, but judge nothing in week one: it takes four to six weeks of data before optimisation decisions mean anything. We tell you this up front so nobody panics at day ten.
Do you require long contracts?
Engagement terms are agreed clearly before we start, and we keep them simple: we’ll walk you through exactly how they work before you commit. What never changes is the standard we hold ourselves to. If we’re not earning our fee, you’ll hear it from us first.
Who owns the ad account?
You do, always. We build campaigns in your Google Ads and Meta accounts, under your billing. If we ever part ways, everything we built stays yours: history, data, the lot. Be wary of any agency that keeps the account; that’s a hostage situation with a monthly invoice.
Is PPC better than SEO?
They answer different questions. PPC buys results this month and switches off when you stop paying; SEO compounds slowly into traffic you own. Most clients run PPC for immediacy while their rankings build, then rebalance. We do both, so our advice isn’t rigged either way.
