Performance marketing

Google Ads managed against intent, not impressions

Search, Shopping, Performance Max and YouTube campaigns structured so you can see which intent is producing enquiries.

Sound familiar?

The problems this solves

  • Spend against search terms with no commercial intent
  • Conversion actions counting page views rather than genuine enquiries
  • Performance Max consuming budget with little visibility
  • Brand and non-brand performance reported as one number
  • Smart bidding optimising towards a poorly defined goal

What is included

Capabilities in detail

Conversion action rebuild

Defining what counts as a conversion, with values where they can be justified, so bidding optimises towards something real.

Search term control

Ongoing review with negative keyword management, applied continuously rather than at setup.

Account structure

Brand and non-brand separated, intent grouped so reporting can be read and budget controlled where decisions happen.

Shopping and Performance Max

Feed quality, product segmentation and asset groups arranged for as much visibility as the campaign type allows.

What it changes for your business

  • Less spend against terms that were never going to convert
  • Bidding optimising towards genuine enquiries
  • Brand and non-brand performance reported separately

Process

How an engagement runs

Seven stages, each with a defined output, so it is always clear what has been decided.

  1. Discover

    Understand the business, the offer and the constraints. Output: a written problem statement you agree with.

  2. Audit

    Examine the site, accounts, tracking and CRM as they stand. Output: findings and a prioritised fix list.

  3. Strategise

    Decide the order of work and why. Output: a roadmap with a stated sequence.

  4. Design

    Structure, interface and content model settled while changes are cheap. Output: approved designs and a content plan.

  5. Build

    Development, configuration and content production. Output: a working build on staging.

  6. Launch

    Release with redirects, tracking and reporting verified. Output: a live release and a launch record.

  7. Optimise

    A standing cycle of review and change. Output: regular reporting and an updated roadmap.
