Digital marketing

Marketing built like the rest of the system

SEO and Google Ads are the Attract stage of the ACCC Framework. Not a retainer full of jargon: pages that rank, ads that only show for the right searches, and tracking that counts booked jobs rather than clicks.

The approach

Earn the clicks, buy the clicks, count the jobs

There are two ways to be found on Google: earn your place in the results, or pay for the space at the top. Search takes months and then compounds; ads work in days and stop when you stop. A sensible plan usually uses both, weighted to how quickly you need the work.

What makes either produce jobs is the same underneath: pages built for the searches customers actually type, and tracking that shows which enquiries turned into work. That is why marketing here is not sold separately from the website. It is wired into it.

Every figure is published. The SEO plan and Ads management have fixed monthly prices, and ad spend goes direct to Google without a markup. If a month does not justify its invoice, the report will show that too.

How the system works

Clicks, priced honestly

What could Google Ads bring back?

A click only costs money. A job pays it back. This is the maths an Ads account lives or dies on, with your numbers in it.

Roughly

of estimated work from that spend every month

Get Ads managed properly

Assumes 40% of enquiries become booked jobs. Roughly back per £1 of ad spend. Estimates, not a promise; ad spend goes direct to Google.

Proof pays

What would more reviews be worth?

When two businesses quote the same price, the one with more recent reviews gets the call. Steady reviews lift how many enquiries say yes.

Roughly

of extra work a month from being the obvious choice

Put reviews on autopilot

Assumes 40% of enquiries become booked jobs. Typical UK trade figures; adjust the sliders to your own.

What to avoid

Six ways local businesses waste marketing money

Every one of these is something we have been asked to undo for a client who paid someone else to do it.

Paying for clicks, measuring nothing

An Ads account without call and form tracking cannot tell you which half of the budget is wasted. Tracking comes first, spend second.

Broad match and no negatives

Broad keywords quietly match searches you would never want: DIY questions, jobs you do not do, towns you do not cover. Negative keywords are where budgets are saved.

Sending ads to the homepage

The click cost money because the search was specific. Landing it on a general homepage throws the specificity away and the budget with it.

Buying SEO as a bolt-on

Structure is a build decision. An SEO retainer on top of a badly structured site pays someone to push against the site itself.

Marked-up ad spend

Some agencies take a percentage of spend, which rewards them for spending more, not better. Spend here goes direct to Google, untouched.

Reporting activity, not jobs

Impressions and sessions are not results. If a report cannot say what work came in, it is describing effort, not outcome.

FAQ

Questions about SEO and Google Ads

Straight answers on budgets, timescales, contracts and what can honestly be promised.

Yes, and it costs you nothing. Our Audience Simulator shows the ad to a few hundred simulated people generated from real UK population statistics, and reports purchase intent, clarity, the objections raised and how the reaction varied by age, region and income. It is a directional test rather than real market research, but it reliably separates a clear advert from a confusing one. It is included for every client.
It depends how soon you need the work. Ads produce leads within days and stop when you stop paying. Search takes months and then compounds. Most trades that need work now run both: Ads carries the volume while the search visibility builds, then the balance shifts towards the leads that cost nothing per click.
Enough to buy a meaningful number of clicks for your trade, which depends on what a click costs in your area. We will tell you honestly what that number looks like before anything launches, and your spend goes direct to Google without a markup. If the sums do not work for your job values, we will say so.
No, but the site has to be sound. Sending paid clicks to a slow site with no proper quote form wastes most of the budget, and search work is capped by the structure it sits on. If your current site can carry the work, we will use it. If it cannot, we will show you exactly why.
Google Business Profile improvements often show within weeks. Organic movement typically starts between eight and twelve weeks and keeps building. Anyone promising page one in thirty days is either targeting searches nobody makes or doing something that risks the listing.
No, and neither can anyone else honestly. What we guarantee is the work: the pages, the profile activity, the campaign management and a plain-English report of what it produced. The moment a supplier guarantees a Google position, they are telling you something Google itself says cannot be promised.
The monthly plans run month to month after the initial term, and the report each month is the argument for staying. Everything created along the way, the pages, the content and the ad account, is yours and stays yours.
Lead platforms sell the same enquiry to several businesses at once, and you pay per lead forever. Everything here builds assets you own: your rankings, your content, your ad account and your reviews. The cost per lead falls over time instead of staying fixed.
Almost certainly. There are dedicated SEO and Google Ads pages for every trade we build for, linked at the bottom of this page. If yours is not listed, ask anyway: the framework is the same, only the searches change.
