PPC Done Badly Burns Money Quietly
Google Ads is one of the easiest ways to spend a lot of money very quickly with very little to show for it. The wrong agency - or worse, following Google's own automated suggestions blindly - can quietly drain thousands a month without delivering meaningful results.
Without the right PPC partner
- Broad match keywords matching to terms that have nothing to do with your business
- Junior account managers running campaigns they only half-understand
- Google's automated recommendations followed without critical thinking
- Reports full of clicks and impressions but no real revenue connection
With Greyturtle
- Match-type strategy built on what actually works (exact match wins 74-76% of B2B accounts)
- Senior strategists directly managing your account, not training on it
- Google's recommendations evaluated critically, accepted or rejected on merit
- Reporting that connects PPC spend to actual business outcomes
PPC Built On Craft, Not Just Tools
Anyone can run Google Ads. The difference between profitable PPC and expensive PPC is the experience to know which levers to pull, and when.
Every Click Earned, Not Bought Blindly
We build campaigns around purchase intent and qualified search behaviour - not the broad-brush targeting Google's automation defaults to. That means more clicks from people genuinely ready to buy and fewer clicks from people who'll never convert. Smaller wasted budget, larger profitable results.
The PPC Detail Most Agencies Miss
Match type strategy, bidding progression from Maximise Clicks through Maximise Conversions to Target CPA, negative keyword discipline, search term audits, quality score optimisation, conversion tracking accuracy, landing page alignment - all the technical detail that separates PPC that compounds from PPC that haemorrhages. This is where 20+ years' experience genuinely shows.
Depth In Google's Ecosystem, Not Spread Thin Across Platforms
Google handles around 90% of UK search - so when budgets are tight, that's where they should go. Rather than spreading your spend thin across smaller platforms with marginal volume, we go deep into Google's ecosystem - Search, Shopping, Performance Max, YouTube and Display - applying the right mix for your business. Disciplined budget concentration usually beats half-hearted multi-platform coverage every time.

How We Run Profitable PPC
Three clear stages, built around your commercial goals, not Google’s automated suggestions.
Audit & Strategy
We start with a proper audit of your current PPC performance, your competitors' ad strategies, and your commercial goals. We identify where budget is being wasted, where the genuine opportunities are, and what realistic targets look like for your business. You get a clear strategy and prioritised plan before any spend changes.
Build, Launch & Optimise
We restructure or build campaigns from the ground up - keywords, match types, ad copy, landing pages, conversion tracking, negative keywords, bidding strategy. AI handles the repetitive tasks like ad copy variations and search term review, but every strategic decision is made by a senior PPC strategist who's done this for two decades.
Refine, Scale & Report
ROAS improves. Cost per acquisition drops. Conversion volume grows. We report transparently in plain English - what's working, what's not, what we'd change next - connected to commercial outcomes rather than vanity metrics. Then we scale what's delivering and cut what isn't.

What's Included In Our PPC Management Services
Every PPC engagement is tailored to your business, your budget and your goals. We can manage a full multi-channel paid programme or focus on a single platform – whatever makes commercial sense.
Google Search Ads
The bread and butter of PPC. We build search campaigns that capture high-intent buyers without wasting spend on broad, irrelevant traffic. Proper keyword research, match type strategy, negative keyword management, ad copy testing, quality score optimisation and conversion tracking - all the detail that separates profitable Google Ads from expensive ones.
Google Shopping & Performance Max
For ecommerce stores, Google Shopping is often the highest-ROAS PPC channel - when it's properly set up. We optimise product feeds, structure campaigns around margin and intent, and handle Performance Max with the critical eye Google's automation requires. We have a dedicated Google Shopping Ads service for stores where this is the priority. Learn more about Google Shopping Ads →
YouTube & Display Advertising
For businesses ready to scale beyond search, YouTube and Display advertising extend your reach to people who aren't yet actively searching for what you sell. We build YouTube campaigns that drive measurable response (not just view counts) and Display campaigns that retarget interested visitors back to convert. Both work hardest when paired with strong search campaigns capturing demand at the point of intent.
B2B PPC Specialism
B2B PPC works differently from B2C - longer sales cycles, smaller search volumes, higher-value conversions, exact match dominance, different bidding strategies. We've spent two decades refining what actually works in B2B PPC, and we apply it ruthlessly. Minimum advertising budgets of £2,000-£5,000/month typically make B2B PPC genuinely viable.

Paid Social Advertising
LinkedIn Ads for B2B targeting, Meta Ads for ecommerce and B2C, TikTok and YouTube where your audience actually spends time. Creative-led campaigns with ROAS goals, not impression-chasing. We build paid social as part of an integrated PPC strategy, not in isolation.
Landing Page & Conversion Optimisation
The best PPC campaign in the world will fail if your landing pages don't convert. We audit and improve the pages your paid traffic lands on - matching ad copy to page content, simplifying conversion flows, testing improvements that lift conversion rate without needing more traffic. Better landing pages mean lower acquisition costs from the same ad spend.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's a sensible minimum monthly budget for PPC?
It depends on what you’re trying to achieve. For B2B PPC, we generally recommend a minimum advertising budget of £2,000-£5,000/month – search volumes are usually low enough that anything less can’t gather meaningful data. For ecommerce and B2C, budgets from £1,500/month can work effectively. Our management fees sit on top of ad spend, and we’ll be honest about whether your budget is enough to deliver results before you commit.
How quickly will I see results from PPC?
Faster than most marketing channels – that’s the appeal of PPC. Properly structured campaigns can start delivering clicks and conversions within days of launch. Meaningful optimisation typically happens over the first 30-90 days as we gather conversion data and refine targeting. Mature campaigns continue improving for months as we test, refine and scale what’s working.
What does PPC management cost with Greyturtle?
Most of our PPC clients invest between £700 and £2,000 per month in management fees, depending on the complexity, number of platforms and number of campaigns. This sits separately from your actual ad spend on Google, Microsoft, Meta or other platforms. You’ll see clear pricing before committing – no hidden tiers, no surprise upsells.
Will you lock me into a long contract?
No. We work month-to-month with 30 days’ notice. PPC results are very visible very quickly, so there’s no excuse for trapping clients in long contracts. If we’re not delivering, you should be able to leave – which is probably why our average client relationship runs past four years.
Should I trust Google's automated recommendations and Performance Max?
Some yes, plenty no. Google’s automation has improved enormously – but its commercial incentive is for you to spend more money, not necessarily to spend it well. Performance Max campaigns can deliver excellent results when properly constrained, or burn budget impressively when accepted as-is. We evaluate each recommendation and automation option critically rather than accepting them blindly. That critical thinking is the difference between profitable PPC and expensive PPC.
Should we run ads on Microsoft Ads or Bing as well as Google?
Honestly? For most UK businesses, no. Google handles around 90% of UK search, and the management effort required to run Microsoft Ads properly rarely justifies the additional volume it delivers – especially when budgets are tight. Spreading a limited budget across multiple platforms usually means doing all of them half-heartedly. We’d rather concentrate your spend where the volume genuinely is, go deep into Google’s ecosystem (Search, Shopping, Performance Max, YouTube and Display), and make sure every pound is working as hard as possible. If your business has a genuine reason to run Microsoft Ads – very specific B2B audiences, particular industry buying patterns – we’ll tell you. Otherwise, we’d rather you concentrated your budget.
We've been let down by PPC agencies before. Why would this be different?
A fair question – PPC has earned much of its reputation. Three things set us apart. You work directly with senior PPC strategists with 20+ years’ experience, not junior account managers learning on your budget. You get transparent reporting connecting PPC to actual revenue, not vanity click metrics. And you can leave any month without penalty if we’re not delivering. We’ve rebuilt confidence for plenty of clients who’d been burned before.
Do I own the video once it’s created?
Absolutely. Once you’ve paid for your video, it’s yours to use however you wish – on your website, social media, in presentations, email campaigns, or anywhere else. There are no licensing restrictions, usage fees, or ongoing royalties.
What if I want changes after seeing the finished video?
We can refine the video until you’re happy with it – script adjustments, pacing changes, different presenter or voice options, visual tweaks. Unlike traditional video production where re-shoots cost thousands, AI video revisions are straightforward, basic ones are included in the price and large edits are very cheap to do.
Will people be able to tell it’s AI-generated?
In most cases, no – especially with the styles and techniques we use. The technology produces natural-looking presenters with realistic movement and expression. That said, we’re always transparent about the technology behind what we create. The goal is professional quality that represents your brand well, and that’s exactly what we deliver.
