How We Deliver
How We Deliver PPC in Newcastle.
A four-step process refined over 13+ years and 60+ brands. No fluff — just the work that actually moves the needle in Newcastle.
01
Audit & Discover
We start with a free no-obligation audit. We’ll dig into your current ppc performance, your competitors in Newcastle, and what’s actually possible inside your budget — before anyone signs anything.
02
Plan & Agree
We put together a clear plan with realistic targets, costs and timeframes. You see exactly what you’re getting, what we’re measuring, and how we’ll report. No surprises, no upsells you didn’t ask for.
03
Build & Deliver
We get on with the work. Direct access to Dave and the team — no account managers, no gatekeepers, no subcontracted offshore studio. Weekly check-ins, monthly reports, and a Slack/WhatsApp channel for quick questions.
04
Measure & Iterate
The work doesn’t stop at launch. We track what’s working, drop what isn’t, and keep iterating — whether that’s rankings, ad spend, conversion rate, or all three. You get a clear report every month showing what changed and why.
Why It Matters Now
PPC in 2026.
AI Has Changed The Game
Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity and Bing Copilot are now answering questions that used to send users to your website. Good ppc in 2026 means optimising for AI citation, not just blue links — structured data, semantic clarity, and content that an LLM can lift verbatim.
Local Competition Has Caught Up
Five years ago, half the businesses in Newcastle didn’t take ppc seriously. That’s no longer true. Your competitors are spending, learning, and getting better month on month. The cost of doing nothing is now higher than the cost of doing it well.
Buyers Research Differently
Modern B2B and B2C buyers don’t just “Google” you any more. They check LinkedIn, Reddit, YouTube, Companies House, your reviews, your last three blog posts, and what AI tools say about you — before they ever fill in a contact form. PPC in 2026 has to cover all those surfaces, not just rankings.
Avoid These Traps
PPC Mistakes We See A Lot.
Before you spend a penny — whether with us or anyone else — check whether you’re about to fall into one of these.
1. Chasing The Wrong Metric
Rankings, impressions, followers, traffic — none of these pay the bills. We measure enquiries, qualified leads, revenue. If your agency reports anything else as the headline, ask why.
2. Buying Templates, Not Strategy
Cheap packaged ppc bundles look like a bargain until you realise every client gets the same playbook. Your business isn’t generic — your strategy shouldn’t be either.
3. 12-Month Lock-Ins
Any agency that needs a year’s commitment to do good work doesn’t trust their own work. Our clients stay because the results are there — not because they’re contractually stuck with us.
4. Ignoring AI Search
Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity are already eating organic traffic. Most agencies haven’t adapted. We optimise for AI citation alongside traditional ranking — one is the future, both matter today.
5. Reporting In Vanity
100-page reports with no story aren’t reporting — they’re cover. Ours fit on one page: what we did, what changed, what’s next. If you want the underlying data, it’s yours to dig into — but the headline tells the story.
6. Outsourcing The Bits That Matter
Bigger agencies subcontract design to one country, dev to another, content to a third. We don’t. The same team that pitched you does the work — so the strategy you bought is the strategy you get.
