Google Ads management that makes every click work harder

We are a Chester PPC agency and a Google Partner. We build the campaigns, the landing pages and the tracking together, use Google’s automation where the data supports it, and check the account every day.

Google Partner since October 2026

Google checks our accounts, managed spend and certification every day.

Historical results from the clients’ Google Ads accounts, not forecasts or guarantees. We don’t publish clients’ spend.

Research, delivery and review, not just campaign setup

AI tools can help explore a large amount of data. Useful decisions still depend on the business behind the account, the quality of the measurement and what happens after the click.

  1. 01

    Start with the jobs you want

    We discuss services, useful enquiries, capacity and geography with you. Your experience matters: a popular search is not valuable if it brings work you cannot or do not want to take.

  2. 02

    Research the actual searches

    We examine keyword estimates, search terms and competitors. We separate buying intent from research queries and review negative keywords so unrelated searches do not quietly absorb budget.

  3. 03

    Connect the ad and destination

    Campaigns, ad copy and landing pages are organised around the customer’s need. A gutter-cleaning ad should lead to clear gutter-cleaning information, an accurate offer and a usable enquiry route.

  4. 04

    Check what a conversion means

    We distinguish calls, button clicks, forms and orders. We look for duplicate or unreliable measurement and use your feedback to understand which enquiries became useful conversations or booked work.

  5. 05

    Review cost alongside quality

    Clicks, CPC, CTR and lost impression share help diagnose the account. Where the records allow, qualified-enquiry cost and booked work give a more useful commercial view. No single metric decides the strategy.

  6. 06

    Refine and check the effect

    We review the data every day and make focused changes to keywords, bids, ads, offers or pages. We record what changed and revisit the result, with budget and strategic decisions under human control.

Google’s automation, used inside limits

Maximise Conversions is not inherently right or wrong. If a campaign counts low-value button taps as its main success, an automated strategy may learn from the wrong signal. The first question is what we want the system to optimise for, and whether we can measure that reliably.

At Aquatropics, which tracks real purchases, Google’s value-based bidding now runs the bids, while broad settings that chose their own searches and ad text are switched off. In the 29 days after that change the account paid 55% less per click. A local trade with a handful of enquiries a month usually does better on manual bids.

Google’s bidding guidance

The landing page is part of the campaign

Google rates every keyword on how useful the landing page is, and a better rating lowers what you pay per click. A relevant ad can still disappoint someone who arrives on a vague page or cannot find the enquiry form.

Because we build websites and do SEO, we fix the page ourselves. At Aquatropics, landing-page experience is rated above average on all 21 scored keywords. How SEO and Google Ads work together.

Website design in Chester

Daily monitoring

Checked every day, not once a month

Searches change, competitors arrive and Google adds new automatic settings. Waiting for a monthly report means paying for a month of mistakes.

AI reads the data daily

Our AI agents go through the ads, Search Console and analytics data every day and flag waste. A person approves every change.

We watch the landing pages

Visitor behaviour on the pages your ads point to shows where people hesitate, so we fix the page as well as the ad.

Alerts when something moves

Spend, cost per click or conversions moving outside their normal range trigger an alert, so problems are caught quickly.

PPC for Chester, the Wirral, Cheshire and North Wales

You know which jobs fit the business, how far the team can travel and when the diary is full. We set the campaign area to match, town by town.

Chester

Our home city. Campaigns fenced to the postcodes you serve, with ads that mention Chester where it helps.

Wirral and Ellesmere Port

Birkenhead, Wallasey, Heswall and Ellesmere Port, targeted town by town rather than as one big area.

Cheshire

Northwich, Warrington and the rest of the county, for businesses that cover more ground.

Wrexham and Flintshire

Wrexham, Mold, Flint and Connah’s Quay, with English-language campaigns aimed at the towns you work in.

For Chester Property & Garden Maintenance, every Search campaign runs on manual bids and is fenced to a fixed list of towns the team covers. The September review moved part of the budget towards gutter cleaning as the season changed. See the seasonal campaign example.

What we agree before work starts

  • The services and locations you want to promote
  • The advertising budget and separate management scope
  • Which enquiry actions count, and how quality is checked
  • Account ownership, access and approval responsibilities
  • The landing pages, creative and tracking work included
  • How results, limitations and next actions will be reported

A useful report should explain what changed, why it changed and what the available evidence shows. We will also say when a sample is too small or the tracking does not support a firm conclusion.

Google Ads management: common questions

What does your Google Ads management include?

Account and tracking review, keyword research, campaigns built around the services you want to sell, ad copy, landing-page checks and fixes, weekly search-term reviews and a plain-English report. AI-assisted analysis supports the research and the daily checks; people retain responsibility for strategy, approvals and budget. We agree the scope before work starts.

How much do you charge to manage Google Ads?

Management starts from £249 a month as a flat fee, quoted for your business before you start. Your ad budget is separate and paid straight to Google. We are not VAT-registered, so no VAT is added to our fee.

Are you a Google Partner?

Yes. Hand On Web has been a Google Partner since October 2026. Google checks the account performance, managed spend and certification requirements daily. We are a Partner, not a Premier Partner, and the badge on this page links to our profile on google.com.

Is Maximise Conversions a bad bidding strategy?

No. It can be suitable when the goal is more meaningful conversion actions and the tracking is reliable. The choice depends on the goal, budget, conversion quality and account data. We review those conditions rather than applying one setting to every account or promising that manual bidding is always cheaper.

Can you guarantee cheaper clicks or more customers?

No. Auction costs and outcomes vary with competition, search intent, location, seasonality, the offer and the website. Our job is to make the spending decisions more informed, investigate waste and evaluate lead quality. A click, contact-button tap and confirmed booked job are different outcomes.

How do you connect Google Ads with the website?

We check whether the search, ad, landing page and enquiry route tell the same story. Because we also build websites and do SEO, we can fix a weak landing page ourselves, which improves Quality Score and lowers the cost of each click. Where consent and measurement allow, we also look at how ad visitors use the page.

Which areas do you cover?

We are based at Riverside Innovation Centre in Chester and run campaigns for businesses in Chester, Ellesmere Port, the Wirral, Wrexham, Flintshire and across Cheshire, as well as online shops that sell UK-wide. We target the area you can actually serve, not every town by default.

Is Google Ads worth it for a small business?

It is worth it when a click costs less than the profit an enquiry brings, after allowing for the people who do not buy. Local searches in Chester often cost £1 to £5 a click. Our Google Ads cost guide has real figures for common searches.
