A Google Ads agency whose ads pay for themselves

Campaigns judged on profit rather than clicks — run by the people who can also fix the page the click lands on. We start with a free audit, in writing, whether or not you hire us.

What we usually find

Four things wrong with almost every account we open

Go and look for these in your own account before you talk to anyone, us included. If none of them are there, you probably do not need an agency.

01

The tracking counts the wrong thing

Form views recorded as conversions. Spam submissions counted alongside real ones. Nothing flowing back from the CRM about which enquiries actually became customers. Smart bidding then optimises hard toward that number — so the better the algorithm performs, the worse the account gets.

02

Performance Max is eating the brand traffic

People who were already going to search your name get served an ad, click it, and are booked as a paid conversion. The campaign reports a superb return because it is buying customers you already had. Excluding brand terms usually drops the headline figure and raises the profit.

03

One budget is funding every product at once

When everything sits in a single campaign, spend flows to whatever gets the cheapest clicks rather than whatever earns the most margin. Splitting by profitability instead of by keyword theme is usually the single biggest change we make.

04

The landing page undoes the work

The ad promises something specific and the click lands on a homepage. Every pound after that is spent recovering attention you had already bought. We build the page as part of the campaign, because the two are one system whether you treat them that way or not.

Ad spend is paid to Google on your own card, not to us. These figures are the management fee only.

Before you ask

The awkward questions

Who owns the ad account?
You do, always. Everything runs inside your own Google Ads account, on your billing. If we part ways you keep the account, the history and everything the algorithms have learned — which is the part that is genuinely expensive to rebuild.
Am I locked into a contract?
No. Monthly, with 30 days’ notice. The first month is the one that costs us most, so a long tie-in would be in our interest and not yours.
Do you take a percentage of ad spend?
No. The fee is flat. Percentage-of-spend pricing pays your agency more for spending more of your money, and there is no honest way around that conflict.
Is there a minimum ad spend?
We would suggest at least £1,000 a month. Below that the auction data is too thin to optimise against, and you are better off putting the money into the website first — which we would tell you rather than take the retainer.
How quickly will I see results?
Tracking is fixed in week one and the rebuild lands in week two, but meaningful signal takes four to six weeks depending on volume. Anyone promising a transformation inside a month is either lucky or counting brand traffic.
What if the audit says we should not be running ads?
Then that is what it says. It happens — usually when the offer or the landing page is the real problem, and more traffic would only buy more disappointment faster.

In short

How much does Google Ads management cost in the UK?

UK agencies usually charge either a flat monthly fee or a percentage of ad spend, commonly 10–20%, plus your budget paid to Google. Devute's Google Ads management is a flat fee from £750 a month, never a cut of your spend, and you keep ownership of the ad account.

FAQ

Questions people ask.

Ask us directly
What does a Google Ads agency do?

A Google Ads agency plans, builds and runs your campaigns: keyword research, ad copy, bidding, conversion tracking, landing pages and reporting. Ours judges every campaign on profit, using enquiries and sales from your CRM, not clicks or impressions.

How much should I spend on Google Ads?

It depends on your cost per click and how many enquiries you need. As a rule, a test budget should buy at least 100–200 clicks a month on your main keywords. We work out a realistic budget from real cost-per-click data in the free audit.

How long before Google Ads works?

Most accounts show reliable data within four to eight weeks, once tracking is right and the algorithm has learned. Search campaigns on high-intent keywords can bring enquiries in the first week.

Do I own my Google Ads account?

Yes. The account is yours, billed to your card, and we work in it with manager access. If you leave, you keep the account, the history and everything we built.

Is there a minimum contract?

No long tie-in. We work month to month with 30 days' notice, because the results should be the reason you stay.

Can you fix my landing pages too?

Yes. We're also a web development team, so if the ads are fine and the page is the problem, we can fix the page. That's often where the biggest gains are.
