Sound familiar?

You're spending on ads. But it's hard to tell if they're working.

Paid advertising should have a clear return. If it doesn't, something in the setup isn't right.

Spend going up, leads staying flat

You're paying more per click but not getting more enquiries. Budget is being absorbed and you can't tell where it's going.

No visibility on what's converting

The platform says your ads are running. Your website says people are visiting. But you can't connect that to actual business coming in.

Wasted on the wrong audience

Clicks from people who'll never buy: wrong location, wrong intent, wrong stage. Bad targeting burns through a budget fast.

What's included

Paid advertising that pays back.

Campaign setup to ongoing management, with honest reporting on what the spend is actually producing.

Campaign strategy & setup

The right campaign type for your goal: search, display, or paid social. Structured properly from the start so your budget goes where it should.

Keyword & audience research

Deep research into what your customers are actually searching, and who on social looks like your best buyers. Negative keywords built in from day one.

Conversion tracking

Proper tracking setup so every enquiry, call and form submission is attributed correctly. You see what the ads are producing, not just what the platform claims.

Ongoing management & reporting

Monthly bid adjustments, ad copy testing, audience refinement. A plain report each month showing spend, leads and cost per acquisition.

Where budgets get wasted

Paid ads don't waste money by accident.

A handful of setup and management mistakes drain most ad budgets. Here's where the money usually leaks, and how I run things differently.

Where the money leaks
  • Broad keywords that match almost any search
  • No negative keywords, so you pay for junk clicks
  • No conversion tracking, so nobody knows what works
  • One big campaign with everything thrown in together
  • Clicks sent to a slow or unclear page
  • Set up once, then left to drift
How I run it
  • Tight, intent-led targeting in your area
  • Negative keywords from day one, pruned every week
  • Conversion tracking verified before a penny is spent
  • Clean structure so budget backs what actually converts
  • Ads point to a page built to turn clicks into enquiries
  • Managed weekly on real performance data, not guesswork
How it works

Build it right, then scale what works.

Paid ads need good foundations. Rushing to spend before the setup is right wastes budget.

[ 01 ]

Audit & goals

I look at any existing campaigns (or start fresh) and get clear on what a good outcome looks like: enquiries, calls, sales, cost per lead.

[ 02 ]

Build & launch

Campaigns structured properly, tracking verified, ad copy written. We launch at a controlled budget until the data tells us what to scale.

[ 03 ]

Optimise & report

Ongoing management based on real performance data. Monthly reports show exactly where the money went and what it produced.

One retainer · no channel fees

The management is one retainer. The ad spend stays yours.

You don't pay a separate PPC fee. Campaign management sits inside a single Focus Digital Media retainer, alongside your other channels. Your ad budget is separate, paid straight to Google or Meta, and I never touch it.

from £250 /month

This is the management fee. Your ad spend is separate and paid directly to the platforms. Your exact retainer depends on what your business needs, agreed up front.

No lock-in. Cancel any time.

What the fee covers
  • The person who plans it runs it No handoffs, no account managers in the middle. You always deal with me.
  • One monthly fee, one invoice No separate SEO, ads and social retainers stacked on top of each other.
  • Channels chosen on return We spend where it pays back and skip what doesn't fit your business yet.
  • Plain monthly reporting What I did and what it brought in, in language you'll actually read.
  • Month to month No lock-in. Stay because it's working, not because you're tied in.
Common questions

What people usually ask about paid advertising.

What budget do I need to start? +
Google Ads can work from around £500/month in ad spend for a local campaign, though more competitive niches need more. We'll figure out a realistic starting point after looking at your market, and I'll be straight with you if the numbers don't stack up. If you're unsure whether ads are the right first move, this guide covers where paid advertising fits in the typical spend order.
Is the ad spend separate from the retainer? +
Yes. The management sits inside your single monthly retainer (from £250), and your ad spend is completely separate: you pay the platforms directly and I never hold your budget. So you're never billed a standalone PPC fee on top of your other marketing.
How quickly will I see results? +
Search campaigns can generate enquiries within days of going live, once tracking is verified and campaigns are structured well. The first two to four weeks are usually about testing before we scale what's working.
Do you manage Google Ads, Facebook Ads, or both? +
Either or both, depending on what makes sense for your business. Google Search is usually the best starting point for local businesses with clear purchase intent. We'll figure out the right mix for yours.
What if the campaigns aren't performing? +
I'll tell you, and we'll fix or pause them. There's no incentive for me to keep spending your budget on something that isn't working, and no lock-in if you want to stop.
