PPC management and Google Ads

Paid search is advertising on search engines, where you pay when someone clicks an ad shown against the terms they type. Most of it runs on Google Ads. PPC management is the work of choosing those terms, writing the ads, setting bids and budgets, and checking every click against the enquiries it brings. Peacock Search manages paid search from Leeds and measures it on leads, not clicks.

What PPC management covers

  • Conversion tracking set up and tested before any budget is spent, so every enquiry is counted once
  • Keyword research shared with the SEO work, so paid and organic target the same buyers
  • Campaigns and ad groups built tightly around what people search for, with ads written to match
  • Negative keywords that keep the budget away from searches that never buy
  • Landing pages that answer the search the ad was shown for
  • Bids and budgets reviewed weekly, and the search terms report read line by line
  • Google Ads management for accounts you already run, starting with a review of what is there

Why paid and organic should share one plan

Paid search puts you in front of a query the day a campaign goes live, which organic work cannot do. Run well, it also tells the organic work which searches turn into enquiries before a single page is written. When the two are managed apart, they often bid against each other or chase different buyers. At Peacock Search they come from the same keyword research and sit in the same monthly report, so you can see what each one brings and decide where the next pound goes.

Your ad account, in your name

Every Google Ads account Peacock Search runs is set up in your name, on your billing, from day one. Ad spend goes from you to Google directly. If you stop working together, the account, its history and everything it has learned stay with you. That is the most common lock-in in paid search, and it does not exist here. Peacock Search works as a user on your account, and you can remove that access yourself at any time.

Who it is for

If you were looking for a PPC agency in Leeds or a Google Ads agency, Peacock Search offers the same work with one consultant and no account manager in between. It suits businesses that need enquiries quickly, businesses testing a new service or a new town before investing in SEO, and businesses with an existing account that spends money without a clear return. It also suits businesses that have handed everything to Google’s automated campaigns and want to know where the money actually went.

There is no minimum ad budget: you decide what to spend, and you can start small. The work covers Google Ads only.

Paid search from Peacock Search is run from Leeds for businesses in Leeds, York, Harrogate and Sheffield.

What Peacock Search will not do

  • Run your ads from its own account
  • Raise your budget without your agreement
  • Promise a cost per enquiry. The monthly report shows the real figure

What you get each month

  • Cost per enquiry, not just clicks and impressions
  • The searches that brought enquiries, and the ones that were blocked
  • Changes made to bids, budgets, ads and keywords, with the reason for each
  • Paid and organic results side by side, from your own Google Ads, Search Console and Analytics

Questions

How much should I spend on Google Ads?

It depends on what clicks cost in your market and how many enquiries you need. The plan sets a starting budget small enough to learn from, then grows it only where the cost per enquiry makes sense. The budget is always yours to set.

Can you take over an existing Google Ads account?

Yes. It starts with a review of the account as it is: tracking, structure, search terms and wasted spend. You get the findings in writing before anything changes, and the account stays in your name throughout.

How soon will paid search bring enquiries?

Ads can show the day a campaign goes live. The first weeks are for learning which searches and ads convert, so expect the cost per enquiry to improve as the account matures rather than on day one.
