Fewer wasted clicks. More enquiries you can count.Start here.
SearchMaven manages Google Ads for businesses across Gloucestershire, Bristol and the Cotswolds.

That is exactly where we fit.

Why most local Google Ads accounts quietly waste money
Google Ads does not fail loudly. The budget still goes out, the clicks still come in, and the account looks busy. What is missing is any reliable link between the money spent and the enquiries received, which is why so many businesses conclude that ads simply do not work for them.
Almost every underperforming account we audit has the same handful of faults, and none of them are exotic. They are the defaults. Google's own interface nudges you toward broader targeting and automated bidding, both of which spend faster when the account underneath is not set up to tell them what a good outcome is.
Your budget spent by someone who knows the market you sell into.
Hiring an agency is usually about trust. You want someone close enough to understand the area, but experienced enough to make the numbers work. We know which local sectors are competitive, which towns carry strong search demand and where smaller budgets are most likely to leak.
That local knowledge feeds directly into campaign structure. It shapes the keywords we target, the ad copy we write, the locations we include or exclude and the landing pages we recommend. The result is not just more traffic. It is a better chance of turning local search demand into enquiries.
Everything your account needs to perform.
Every account gets the same foundations. No tiers of attention, no bolt-ons appearing on the invoice later.
Find out where your budget is leaking
Before anything else we look at what is already there. If you have run ads before, that means finding where the budget leaked: broad match with no negatives, conversions that were never tracked properly, traffic pointed at a homepage. You get the findings whether or not you go on to work with us.
- Free audit of your existing account
- Wasted spend and search term review
- Conversion tracking verification
- Campaign structure rebuild where needed
- Negative keyword lists from day one
Reach people already looking to buy
Search is where the intent is. Someone typing your service into Google is already looking to buy, so this is usually the first and largest part of the budget. We build tightly themed campaigns around terms people actually convert on, not the broadest ones that spend fastest.
- Keyword research grounded in real search terms
- Tightly themed ad groups
- Ad copy written and tested per group
- Location targeting matched to where you work
- Ongoing search term and negative keyword review
Only run what will actually work for you
Performance Max works well for some businesses and burns money for others, and the deciding factors are not the ones the Google interface tells you about. We will tell you honestly whether your account has the conversion volume and the creative to make it work before spending anything on it.
- Honest assessment of whether it suits you
- Asset groups built around real services
- Brand exclusions so it does not eat your own traffic
- Kept separate from Search so results stay readable
Know which clicks became real enquiries
Most of the underperforming accounts we audit are not being measured properly. If Google does not know what a real enquiry looks like, its bidding is optimising towards the wrong thing and your reporting is fiction. We set this up first, every time.
- GA4 and Google Ads conversion setup
- Form submissions and key clicks tracked
- Consent Mode configured correctly
- Conversion values where they can be estimated
- Verification before spend increases
Send clicks somewhere that converts
Sending paid traffic to a homepage is one of the most common and most expensive mistakes we see. We review where every campaign lands and tell you exactly what to change on the page, so the clicks you pay for have somewhere to convert.
- Review of where your traffic currently lands
- Specific page changes where they will pay for themselves
- Message match between ad and page
- Mobile speed and form friction checked
See what your money produced
Each month you get a report that says what the budget produced, what changed and what we are doing next. Enquiries and cost per enquiry, not impressions dressed up to look like progress.
- Enquiries and cost per enquiry
- Spend against budget
- What changed this month and why
- What we are testing next
- A named person to ask, not a ticket queue
