We have worked inside the agencies that burn your budget.
Based in Gloucestershire. Built to do things differently.
SearchMaven was set up by Google Ads specialists who were fed up with agencies that prioritise retainer income over client results. We have worked inside those agencies. We have watched budgets disappear on poorly built campaigns, and seen business owners kept in the dark about what was actually happening with their money.
We exist to do things differently. We work with a small number of clients at a time so every business gets proper attention from a senior specialist. Not a junior who gets assigned your account after a flashy onboarding call. Not an account manager who checks in once a month and sends a slide deck full of impressions.
“If you ask us a question, you get a straight answer. If something is not working, we will tell you before you have to ask.”
If we think you should be spending your budget differently, we will say so, even if it means less in fees for us. That is a straightforward principle and one most agencies are not willing to stand behind.
We are based in Gloucestershire and most of our clients are here too. Local knowledge feeds directly into better campaigns. We know the market, we know the search patterns and we know what works for businesses in this part of the country.
How we work
These are not values we wrote for a website. They are the things we actually do.
Transparent
No hidden fees and no vanity metrics. You see exactly what your budget is doing every single month, in plain language. If something is not working, we will tell you before you have to ask.
Plain-speaking
We will not blind you with jargon. Clicks, conversions, ROAS, Quality Score: we will explain all of it in terms that actually make sense. If we cannot explain a decision clearly, we will not make it.
Results-focused
Every decision we make is aimed at one thing: better results for your business. Lower cost per lead, more qualified enquiries, more revenue. We do not optimise for vanity metrics or impressive-looking dashboards.
No lock-in contracts
We work on a month to month basis. We do not need to tie you in because we earn your business every single month. If we stop delivering, you should be free to leave. That is how it should work.
