Google Ads and pay-per-click management is the disciplined buying of search visibility: choosing the searches worth paying for, writing ads that qualify the click, sending traffic to a page built to convert, and cutting spend that does not produce enquiries.

Google Ads / PPC in Sidmouth — FAQs

How much should I spend on Google Ads?

Enough to gather meaningful conversion data in your market — usually driven by your cost per click and how many enquiries you need each month.

More detail

In low-competition local markets that figure is modest; in competitive commercial categories it is considerably higher.

Should I do SEO or Google Ads?

Ads buy immediate visibility and predictable volume; SEO compounds and lowers long-term cost per enquiry. Most growing businesses benefit from both.

How do I market to an older customer base online?

Prioritise clarity, legibility, obvious phone contact and credible proof, and avoid interfaces that require multiple steps before someone can simply get in touch.
