What are the costs involved in Google Ads?
Monthly Management Fees: This covers the ongoing maintenance, improvement, updating and expansion that is crucial to the success of Google Ads, as well as regular reporting and insights.
Advertising Click Spend: You’re advertising spend can be a fixed amount each month or there is always the possibility to increase or decrease the spend depending on seasonality, peak periods, sales and promotions, increasing interest in your brand, etc. This amount can be quickly changed at any time.
What do you do once your campaign has been built and launched?
With Google Ads it is vitally important that continual analysis, improvements, expansion and updating of campaigns is taking place. This includes implementing regularly launched new features, developing new campaigns for sales, promotions and new products/services, or continually working to increase your ROI and reduce your cost per sale/lead. This ongoing development, improvement and split testing allows us to get more and more out of your investment for you, fully justifying the need for monthly management.

What about Bing and Yahoo?
Bing and Yahoo hold approximately 10% of the UK search engine market share. This has very slowly increased in recent years as Bing in particular has become the default search engine for many programmes, browsers and operating systems. Advertising on Bing and Yahoo is therefore a very logical way to increase your advertising reach by up to 10%.
Furthermore, advertising competition is less fierce on Bing and Yahoo, and therefore the advertising costs are typically slightly lower than on Google Ads. It is certainly a recommended extension of your search engine advertising activities.
