London clicks cost more, so waste costs more

For many services, a click in London costs more than the same click elsewhere, because more businesses bid on it. That makes wasted spend expensive. Our job as your London PPC agency is to keep your ads to the searches and areas that bring in work.

Winning London auctions without the biggest bid

In a busy auction, it's tempting to keep raising your bid. There's a cheaper way to the top.

Google rates how useful your ad and landing page are to the person searching, and that rating counts alongside your bid. Your account sums it up as a Quality Score.

A strong ad and a page that matches the search can beat a bigger bid, and you pay less for the click.

In London, where clicks cost more, that saving adds up quickly. It's where we put most of our effort.

    How Ad Rank is worked out

    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.

    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.

    What our London PPC management covers

    01

    Targeting by borough and postcode

    Your ads are aimed at the parts of London you serve, so you pay for far fewer clicks from people you can't reach.

    02

    Searches worth paying for

    We choose the searches likely to become calls, and block the ones that aren't, like jobs and free advice.

    03

    Landing pages that match

    Each ad sends people to a page about that exact service, which helps your Quality Score and your enquiry rate.

    04

    Tracking and a monthly report

    Calls and forms can be traced to the ad behind them. Your report shows what you spent and what came in.

    FAQs

    Google Ads questions from London businesses

    Yes. We can target by borough, postcode or distance from your base, and change it as your work changes.

    No. Google Ads is managed online, inside your account. Where we sit makes no difference to how your ads perform.
