Google Ads Management in Sussex
Sokada

Google Ads Management in Sussex.

Google Ads built to bring you enquiries.

Sokada offers Google Ads management for businesses across Sussex, including Eastbourne, Hastings, Lewes, Crowborough, Uckfield, Hailsham and the surrounding areas. We work with businesses of different sizes and budgets, managing campaigns, tracking enquiries and reporting on what your budget is bringing in. It all starts with a free audit.

Google Ads Built Around Enquiries.

Our team in Heathfield sets up and manages your campaigns, tracks the calls and forms they generate and reports on where your budget is going. We build the account around the searches your customers make and look at the page people arrive on as well as the advert they click. It starts with a free audit, and you can be as involved as you like after that.

When someone types emergency plumber in East Sussex into Google, they are likely to be looking for a service they need now. Google Ads can put your business in front of them at that moment, and with Search campaigns using cost-per-click bidding, you generally pay when someone clicks your advert.

Run badly, it is also one of the quickest ways to spend a budget with very little to show for it. Adverts reaching the wrong people. Campaigns with no conversion tracking, so nobody knows what is working. Clicks landing on a page that does not convert. Paying too much for traffic because nobody is looking after the account.

Are your ads getting clicks but not enquiries?

What We Manage For You.

We take care of the setup and ongoing management of your Google Ads account, so you can get on with running your business. That includes

  • Campaign structure built around your services and the areas you cover
  • Keyword research and a match type strategy for each campaign
  • Negative keywords, so your budget is not spent on searches that are unlikely to become customers
  • Ad copy, written and tested
  • Bid and budget management
  • Conversion tracking, so we can see which clicks turn into enquiries or sales
  • Ongoing optimisation based on performance data
  • Clear monthly reporting

We run Search, Display, Shopping and Performance Max campaigns, depending on what your business needs.

Search campaigns can put text ads in front of people actively searching for relevant products or services. Display campaigns can show visual ads across websites, apps and Google-owned properties such as YouTube and Gmail, and they can also be used to reach previous website visitors. Shopping campaigns can show products in Google with images, prices and other product information. Performance Max is a goal-based campaign type that can access Google Ads inventory across Search, Display, YouTube, Discover, Gmail and Maps.

If you are weighing Google up against Facebook and Instagram, our paid marketing page explains how the two can work alongside each other.

How Google Decides Where Your Ad Shows.

Google runs an auction every time someone searches. Where your ad appears is influenced by Ad Rank, which takes into account factors including your bid, the quality of your ad and landing page, competition in the auction and the context of the search.

Google states that higher ad quality generally leads to better performance, including better ad positions and lower costs.

Budgets are set as an average per day. For most campaigns, Google can spend up to twice your average daily budget on an individual day, but the monthly spending limit is generally 30.4 times your average daily budget.

Every Enquiry Tracked.

Clicks are easy to count. Enquiries are what grow a business, so conversion tracking is part of every account we set up.

For Hart Reade Solicitors, who have offices in Hailsham, Polegate and Eastbourne, we have set up Google Ads to capture high-intent legal searches in their area. The campaigns use tightly themed ad groups, relevant ad assets and negative keywords to reduce wasted spend.

We also set up GA4 event tracking across key enquiry actions, including contact form submissions, tap-to-call actions and email clicks, so campaign performance can be measured accurately.

Every month you get a report covering the numbers that matter, including impressions, click-through rate, cost per click, conversion rate, cost per lead and return on ad spend where this can be measured.

We test ad copy and landing pages to see what performs best. If something is not working, we tell you and make changes.

Your Website Has to Do Its Part.

Clicks are only worth paying for if the page people arrive on gives them a reason to enquire.

A slow page, confusing layout or page that does not answer what somebody searched for can waste a large part of your budget, however well the campaign itself is set up.

Because we design and build websites as well as running ads, we look at the whole journey. What happens before the click, what happens on the landing page and what encourages someone to pick up the phone or fill in a form.

We can advise on landing page layout, calls to action and loading speed, and if something needs changing, our team can make those changes too.

Our guide on improving landing pages covers more of what can help a page perform.

Is your landing page earning the clicks you pay for?

Frequently Asked Questions.

Explore some of the questions we are regularly asked about Google Ads.

How much should I spend on Google Ads?

There is no minimum spend. The right budget depends on what clicks cost in your market, how many of those clicks turn into enquiries and what a new customer is worth to your business.

We work with businesses of different sizes and budgets, and we will advise you on a realistic starting point based on your goals, market and likely cost per click.

Our blog on how much a small business should spend on Google Ads explains the calculation in more detail.

Ads can start sending people to your website almost as soon as they go live. It often takes a few weeks of optimisation before good quality enquiries come through consistently.

We handle everything, the setup, the day-to-day management and the optimisation, so you can focus on running your business. You can be involved as much or as little as you like.

Yes. SEO builds your long-term visibility in Google’s organic results, while Google Ads gets you seen straight away. Running both means you can bring in enquiries now while your organic presence grows.

No. We are in Heathfield and happy to meet local businesses in person, but almost all of the work happens remotely, so we run campaigns for businesses across the country too.
