Spend that's actually accountable
Bidding for Altrincham customers isn't cheap, and plenty of budgets get spent without much to show for it. We manage Google Ads, Shopping and paid media campaigns for Altrincham businesses with one job: make sure your spend wins the auctions worth winning, not the ones that just look good on a screenshot.
How the auction actually works
Most Altrincham businesses assume the highest bidder wins the ad slot. That's not how it works, and not understanding it is how budgets get wasted.
Google Ads runs on Ad Rank, not raw bid size: Ad Rank = Max CPC × Quality Score. A well-built, relevant campaign bidding £4.00 can beat a lazy one bidding £6.00, because Quality Score, how relevant your ad and landing page are to the search, carries real weight. Agencies who just raise bids when performance dips are treating the symptom, not the cause.
For an Altrincham business, that's the difference between paying over the odds for clicks and Google Ads management that holds up over a full quarter, not just a good week.
Ad Rank = your bid × your Quality Score
Quality Score is Google's mark out of ten for how useful your ad and your page are to the person searching. It is scored on three things.
- Expected click-through rateHow likely someone is to click your ad, based on how it has performed before.
- Ad relevanceHow closely the wording of the ad matches what was actually searched for.
- Landing page experienceWhether the page they land on is fast, relevant and easy to act on.
| A competitor | You | |
|---|---|---|
| Max bid | £6.00 | £4.00 |
| Quality Score | 4 / 10 | 9 / 10 |
| Ad Rank | 24 | 36 |
| Position | Second | First |
| Actually paid per click | — | £2.68 |
They bid £6.00 and came second. You bid £4.00, ranked first, and paid £2.68 for the click, because your ad and your landing page were better. That gap is the whole job.
Simplified: Google also applies rank thresholds, the context of the search and the expected impact of your ad assets. The mechanic above is the part that decides most auctions.
