Paid Search (PPC)

Successful PPC campaigns can earn you quality leads, create seamless user journeys and generate an attractive return on investment. Unlike SEO, results from PPC can be almost immediate, offering a fast route to new leads and growth.

As an expert PPC marketing agency with years of experience working for financial services brands, we know how the right paid search strategy can be a critical part of a successful marketing plan. We understand that it’s crucial for performance marketing to deliver scalable, reliable and sustainable growth.

PPC platforms were built with retail businesses in mind, which is why many other marketing agencies will struggle to manage financial services clients successfully. We can build and manage your paid search campaigns based on in-depth research and using intelligent automation.

Our extensive experience in managing multi-million-pound paid search campaigns for some of the nation's most well-known financial brands gives us a unique advantage.

Paid Search FAQs

What is PPC and how does it work?

PPC stands for Pay-Per-Click, which is a way of advertising to online consumers. It allows you to pay in order to advertise your website at the top of search results for specific keywords.

It works based on a bidding system, where advertisers pay a fee each time their advert is clicked on by a user.

PPC campaigns are typically used in search engine advertising, social media platforms and display advertising networks.

We can create fully optimised and extensively researched campaigns within your existing accounts or new accounts. We ensure the accounts will continue to belong to you so you keep full control. You also retain ownership of all the data, ensuring a smooth transition should you decide to bring the work in-house or change agency at a later date.

Why is PPC important?

Pay-Per-Click advertising is a proven way of reaching your audience. It allows you to reach specific demographics, guaranteeing you visibility for the keywords you want to target.

It can be a cost-effective way to quickly get leads and sales, and you can stay in control of your budget by monitoring clicks and conversions in real-time.

Campaigns can be easily adapted to changing trends and seasonal demands, and budgets can be flexible. This makes PPC a reliable and scalable marketing channel.

It's also important to be aware of the fact that your competitors might be using paid ads to target your customers who are searching for your products or brand.

To prevent losing potential clicks and customers to other businesses, it's a good idea to have a brand protection PPC strategy in place. This ensures that your business maintains visibility and retains existing customers.

How much will your PPC services cost?

We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, which is why we will always tailor any package uniquely to your business - including price.
