One team for the whole job
Most agencies sell one piece: the ads, the website or the SEO. Then the enquiry arrives and gets lost somewhere else. The phone rings out, the form sits unread, the quote never gets chased. We look after the whole path, from the ad to the page it lands on to the system that keeps track of the enquiry.
Bringing enquiries in
Google Ads, Facebook and Instagram ads, SEO, AI search, lead generation and a website built to be found.
Keeping hold of them
A CRM, AI that answers calls and messages, and an app if the job needs one.
- A free quote before any work starts.
- A report every month, from sources you can check.
- Your accounts, your data, your website.
- One team for all of it.
Our story
Where it started
Chapter one
Affiliate marketing
The team started in affiliate marketing for betting companies. In that world you only get paid when the customer you send signs up. It teaches you fast that clicks mean nothing unless they turn into something.
Every pound spent had to come back as a tracked result.
We still count that way.
Chapter two
National brands
Next came influencer campaigns for fashion and food brands, and paid social for national retailers such as Boohoo, Superdry, Muscle Food, Tails.com, Clintons and Ryman. Big budgets, national audiences, and the same question every month: what did it sell?
The ads got sharper and the tracking got tighter.
Those brands are where the team learned the trade.
Chapter three
Goliath Social
In December 2018 the company started as Goliath Social Ltd in Manchester, running paid social for businesses that needed customers more than followers.
As the work grew beyond social media, the name changed to Goliath Marketing.
The company number is still the same: 11732589.
Chapter four
Service businesses
Today most of our clients sell a service: plumbers and heating engineers, garages and tuning specialists, clinics, locksmiths, hire firms and more. For them, a new enquiry is a job, and that's what we're judged on.
Our case studies show some of that work, with the clients named.
Next, we're bringing the same work to the towns around Manchester and beyond.
This website
We built this site the way we'd build yours
Every page here was planned from real search data and written for one service in one place. Each was checked against the rules we use for clients.
If a method doesn't work on our own site, we don't use it on yours.
Where we learned
Brands our team has worked on
These are brands the team worked on before Goliath, in affiliate, influencer and retail paid social. They're where the trade was learned. Our client work is on the case studies page, with the clients named.
Where we learned
Marketing is only worth paying for when the phone rings.
The test every piece of our work has to pass.
How we work
Six things we stand by
None of these is unusual on its own. Together they shape who we work with, how we price the work and how we report on it.
A free quote first
Every project starts with a free quote, so you know the cost before any work begins. For ads, you pay us a management fee and your ad spend goes straight to Google or Meta.
Your accounts stay yours
Google Ads, Meta, Search Console and your website are set up in your business's name. We work inside them. If you leave, everything stays with you.
One page, one job
Every page we write, for a client or for ourselves, covers one service in one place, written in full. Google ignores copies with the town name swapped, and readers can tell.
Reports from the source
Our reports come from systems you can open yourself, such as Search Console and your ad account. So you can check every number.
Honest about fit
Some businesses don't need what we offer, and some need one thing rather than three. We'll say so on the first call.
A free audit if you're unsure
If you don't know where your marketing is falling short, we'll look for you before you commit to anything.
