Is your paid traffic landing on the wrong page?

Most Bristol businesses running Google Ads send every click to their homepage. Dedicated landing pages convert at two to five times the rate. We design and build them as part of your campaign management.

Local knowledge. Better campaigns.

Bristol's search market is one of the busiest in the South West. The tech and creative sectors around Stokes Croft and the Harbourside drive strong B2B search volume, while the city's dense residential population means trades and professional services face consistently competitive auctions. CPCs in sectors like legal, financial advice and home improvement tend to be noticeably higher here than in the county's market towns - and campaigns that aren't actively managed get expensive quickly.

That knowledge shapes everything: the keywords we choose, the ad copy we write and the landing pages we recommend. It is one of the reasons our clients see results faster than they did with agencies working from a generic playbook.

Common questions from Bristol businesses

Yes. Bristol is the largest and most competitive market we work in. We understand the differences between the city's distinct areas - the Harbourside's hospitality and professional scene, the residential demand in Clifton and Redland, the trade-heavy demand in BS5 and BS15. We know which search terms convert for Bristol buyers and how to avoid burning budget on the high-volume, low-intent queries that eat through smaller accounts without generating enquiries.

It depends on your industry. Sectors like legal, dental, financial services and home improvement tend to be competitive in Bristol, with higher cost per click as a result. Trades and hospitality are typically more accessible. We will give you an honest picture of what the auction looks like for your specific business before you commit to anything.

For most local service businesses, we recommend a minimum ad spend of £500 to £800 per month to generate enough data to optimise effectively. What makes sense for your business depends on your average job value, your margins and how competitive your market is. We will work through the numbers with you before recommending a budget.

Most clients see their first enquiries within the first week of campaigns going live. The results improve significantly over the first 60 to 90 days as we gather conversion data and tighten the targeting. We ask clients to judge performance at the 90-day mark rather than in the first fortnight.

Almost certainly. The most common reasons Google Ads underperforms are poor keyword targeting, no conversion tracking and sending traffic to the wrong landing pages. We audit accounts regularly that have all three problems at once. A free audit will show you exactly what went wrong and what we would change.

Straightforward pricing. No surprises.

We do not publish a rate card because every client's needs are different. But we believe you should have a rough idea before picking up the phone. Most SearchMaven clients invest between £200 and £1,500 per month in management fees, depending on the number of campaigns and the complexity of the account. There are no setup fees, no long contracts and no hidden extras. If the numbers do not stack up for your business, we will tell you before you sign anything.
