Why use Google Ads?

Put simply, Google Ads are the paid-for advertisements that appear in search engine results. Google Search Ads appear as an ‘ad’ when someone searches for a term on Google, while Shopping ads appear in Google Shopping after users search for a product.

Google Ads, formerly Google AdWords, remains one of the most measurable forms of search engine marketing because it connects your ads with people already using search results to compare options.

Using Google Ads greatly increases your reach, meaning your ad is more likely to be seen by your audience before they find your competitors.

As Google Ads are based on keywords, the chance of your audience seeing your ad and being interested is greater than with social media advertising. This means that your audience will have a much greater intent on clicking your ad and seeing exactly what you have to offer.

With the right targeted keywords, negative keywords and landing pages, your ads can reach people who are more likely to become qualified leads.

Whether your budget is £5 a day or £500 a day, Google Ads allows you to have full control over your budget and campaigns, so you can adjust or pause at any time.

That flexibility makes Google Ads useful for a Leeds business testing local PPC, a national brand entering competitive PPC markets or an ecommerce store managing seasonal ad spend.

Ad creation

With such a wealth of experience, our PPC team are on hand to guide you through setting up Google Ads accounts and campaigns and helping you decide the best type of ads for your business. We'll explore what ads you may have run previously, carry out keyword research and competitor analysis to establish your expected ROI and cost per click, so our data scientists can create a full forecast.

Before building new PPC campaigns, we review your PPC account, advertising budget, current Google Ads performance and commercial goals, so every recommendation has a clear reason behind it.

We'll work collaboratively to create your paid search ads so you have full control over their appearance and text before they go live.

During the scoping phase, we'll put together a forecast based on your keywords and give you a clear indication of the number of clicks you're likely to receive from running a Google Ads campaign at different budget points.

This gives you a practical view of likely search volumes, expected ad spend and the level of campaign management needed to reach your goals.

Ad optimisation

With Google Ads, regular optimisation is absolutely key. Ensuring that your ad copy is performing well, and your images and videos are on point, means that your cost per click drops, saving you money in the long term.

Our PPC specialists use search term reviews, negative keywords, bid checks and Smart Bidding where suitable to reduce waste and improve PPC performance.

Google Ads account optimisation also includes competitor research to assess what your competitors are doing with their ads and investigating which key terms they are targeting, so you can start bidding on them too.

We also look at how PPC marketing supports organic traffic and wider search visibility, so paid activity works alongside the rest of your digital marketing strategy.

Ad management

The hard work doesn’t stop once the ads are up and running – they then need to be monitored closely to check that there are no significant changes to your campaign.

These changes could include a sudden change in cost per click (CPC) or updating assets such as images and videos if they become outdated or are not performing well. Our Google Ads management services team are on hand to spot any changes as soon as they happen, maintaining, increasing and optimising your ROI.

Your PPC manager keeps a close eye on ad spend, conversion tracking, search campaigns and campaign performance, so issues can be spotted before they become expensive.

As a PPC management agency, we can support one-off builds, ongoing PPC management services or full account ownership from an experienced PPC management team.

Google Shopping

Many of our Ecommerce clients have successful Google Shopping campaigns to promote their products on Google thanks to our talented PPC team.

By pulling the product feed directly from your e-commerce store, we can then use your feed to create your Google Merchant Centre. Once the data feed is within Google Merchant Centre, we can then create your Google Shopping ads campaign using the product details, prices and product images.

For ecommerce brands, Shopping campaigns can support sales growth by matching product data, pricing and images with shoppers who are ready to compare.

Retargeting

Everyone has experienced those ads that follow you around the internet once you've browsed a particular website.

These are known as retargeting or remarketing ads, they are designed to reappear after you have already clicked on an ad, as the conversion rate for seeing an ad for a second time is considerably higher. Retargeting Ads work in every type of Google Ad and even work on Paid Social ads.

Retargeting can help bring site visitors back after they’ve viewed a product, read a service page or started an enquiry without converting.

Copywriting

Ascensor’s copywriters will assist in writing the perfect words to explain and sell your business in your Google Ads.

Our team have years of experience working with myriad tones of voice, allowing us to write fluidly with the personality of your business. With a limit on characters in your Google Ads campaign text, Ascensor's copywriters will be concise yet informative to give your ads the best chance of converting against your competitors.

Strong ad copy makes a real difference in search engine results pages, especially when several competitors are bidding on similar targeted keywords.

What does a Google Ads agency do?

A Google Ads agency can plan campaign structure, research keywords and audiences, create adverts, manage bids and budgets, improve landing pages and report on results. A good agency should explain how activity connects to business outcomes and provide clear access to account and performance data. At Ascensor, we provide campaign planning, advert creation, optimisation, management, tracking and reporting through its in-house PPC team.

How do you improve Google Ads performance?

Improvement can involve refining keywords and audiences, excluding irrelevant searches, strengthening advert copy, adjusting bids and budgets, improving landing pages and fixing conversion tracking. Decisions should be based on lead quality, sales and return on ad spend rather than a single platform metric. At Ascensor, we review search terms, adverts, bidding, budgets, landing pages and lead or sales quality when improving an account.

Is Google Ads worth it?

Google Ads is worth considering when people actively search for the product or service and the business can measure the resulting enquiries or revenue. It becomes less efficient when targeting is broad, tracking is incomplete or the landing page does not convert. A forecast and test period can establish viability. At Ascensor, we assess viability through forecasting, controlled testing and accurate conversion tracking rather than promising a fixed return.

How much do Google Ads cost in the UK?

There is no fixed cost. Advertisers control daily budgets, while cost per click varies by keyword, location, competition, audience and campaign quality. A sensible budget should be based on likely click costs, conversion rate and the value of a lead or sale. At Ascensor, we build budget recommendations around the market, expected click costs and the commercial value of an enquiry or sale.

Do Google Ads work for small businesses?

Google Ads can work for small businesses when campaigns target commercially relevant searches, use suitable locations and budgets and track genuine leads or sales. Performance depends on the market, offer, website and campaign management, so results should be judged against profit or qualified enquiries rather than clicks alone. At Ascensor, our PPC, landing-page and conversion specialists can work together so campaign targeting and the post-click experience support the same goal.

What is Google Ads?

Google Ads is Google's paid advertising platform. Businesses can place search, Shopping, display, video and other ads in front of selected audiences. Costs and placement depend on factors including bids, relevance, competition, targeting and the quality of the advert and landing page. At Ascensor, we manage Google Search, Shopping, remarketing, YouTube and other paid campaigns as part of an integrated digital strategy.

Reporting

Our team collate a regular report which includes stats for the month and comparisons to previous months.

This provides you with a comprehensive insight into what work the team have been working on and are planning to do for the month ahead as well as key stats for your Google Ads including ROI and CPC.

We can also connect Google Analytics and conversion tracking, giving you a clearer view of which campaigns, ads and landing pages are creating enquiries, sales and qualified leads.

As well as your report, your account manager will invite you to a monthly meeting to discuss the report with you which will also include key members of our PPC team to explain your stats clearly to you.

You’ll get straightforward reporting on PPC success, PPC performance and the next steps we recommend for your account.

Landing Page Optimisation

Our integrated digital marketing team are always trying to find ways to improve our clients’ websites and landing pages. The landing pages that your ads lead to have a vital impact on whether those ads convert or not - so their effectiveness is crucial in determining how successful your campaign is.

Thankfully at Ascensor, we have PPC and CRO teams that work in tandem to ensure your campaign brings you great return on investment from both an ad and a website perspective.

Fully optimised landing pages help turn paid clicks into enquiries, so your ad spend has a stronger chance of producing real business value.
