Google Ads and paid social campaigns for businesses across the North East of England. From the Tyne to the Tees, we build PPC that drives genuine enquiries, sales, and measurable growth.
No fluff. No jargon. Just proper work that moves your business forward.
Capture demand across the entire North East by placing your business at the top of Google. We research regionally relevant keywords, craft ads that resonate with local audiences, and drive conversions from every corner of the region.
Re-engage visitors from across the region who browsed your site without converting. Our display and remarketing campaigns keep your brand visible until those North East prospects are ready to buy.
Paid social campaigns that reach audiences across Newcastle, Sunderland, Durham, Middlesbrough, and everywhere in between. We create Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok ads that connect with North East customers and deliver genuine ROI.
Regional geo-targeting that covers the whole North East — Tyneside, Wearside, County Durham, Teesside, and Northumberland. We allocate budget strategically across the areas that matter most to your business.
The North East has a diverse and growing economy — from tech startups in Newcastle to manufacturing in Teesside, professional services in Durham, and creative industries on Wearside. PPC gives businesses across the region the ability to compete on a level playing field, reaching customers the moment they search.
We’re a North East agency, born and bred. Based in Sunderland with clients from Berwick to Darlington, we understand the regional market better than any London agency ever could — and we pair that local knowledge with FTSE 250-level PPC expertise.
We work with businesses across the entire North East — Newcastle, Sunderland, Durham, Middlesbrough, Darlington, and Northumberland. Whether you serve one town or the whole region, we build campaigns that match your reach and maximise your return.
A four-step process refined over 13+ years and 60+ brands. No fluff — just the work that actually moves the needle in the North East.
We start with a free no-obligation audit. We’ll dig into your current ppc performance, your competitors in the North East, and what’s actually possible inside your budget — before anyone signs anything.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Five years ago, half the businesses in the North East 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.
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.
Before you spend a penny — whether with us or anyone else — check whether you’re about to fall into one of these.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Honest answer: it depends. But here’s how we structure things so you know what to expect before the first call.
A fixed-scope piece of work with a defined deliverable — a website rebuild, an SEO audit-and-fix, a brand refresh. Quoted up front, paid 50/50 (deposit + completion). Typical delivery: 2–6 weeks depending on scope.
Ongoing ppc, optimisation, reporting and support. Rolling monthly — cancel any time with 30 days’ notice. No 12-month lock-in. You get a real human, a real report, and real changes every month.
For businesses where digital is the front line. Multi-channel programme — ppc alongside everything else we do (web, brand, automation, content). Quarterly strategy, monthly delivery, dedicated team. Scoped to your business.
Not sure where you fit? Book a free 30-minute call. We’ll talk through your situation, give you an honest steer on what makes sense for the size of business you are, and you’ll leave with a clear next step — whether that’s working with us, working with someone else, or doing it yourself.
