Smarter PPC

Quick & measurable

Campaigns can go live fast, with KPIs properly tracked from day one.

Budget control

Increase or decrease your spend whenever you need to.

Cost-effective

You pay when someone clicks, not for impressions nobody acted on.

02 · How the work moves
01

Kick-off and audit

Agree objectives, review competitors and performance, and inspect the account before changing it.

02

Account structure

Organise campaigns and ad groups around intent, with tracking aligned to the right KPIs.

03

Creative testing

Write, test and refine ads and landing-page messages rather than relying on one assumed answer.

04

Optimisation

Review bids, budgets, search terms and conversions each month so cost and quality move together. With each iteration, your strategy gets a leg up on the competition while your CPA drops.

What this looks like

Problems we solve here.

See all use cases →

Ads that optimise for revenue, not leads

Closed deals sent back from your CRM, so Google Ads learns which clicks become customers.

Know which channel really works

Attribution across search, social and email in one report your finance team will accept.

Stay compliant without going blind

Consent Mode v2 and UK GDPR-ready tracking that keeps measurement intact.

Launch a new brand, product or market

Demand research, paid tests and a go-to-market plan before the big spend.

Good fit if…

  • – You're spending on Google or Microsoft Ads but can't connect it to revenue.
  • – Lead volume looks fine, but too few leads become customers.

Nuts & bolts – the tools of the craft

Keyword research & targeting

Identifying the right keywords and targeting them effectively in your campaigns.

Ad copywriting & testing

Extremely useful service!

The whole service from start to finish was very informative and helpful. My consultation has massively improved my business traction and my website seems to be pulling in more organic traffic. Nabeel couldn't have been any more helpful and I couldn't recommend this service enough!

Locals Talk has been managing our PPC…

Locals Talk has been managing our PPC campaigns for more than 3 years now to the point that we have recommended them to our suppliers and other partners for their marketing campaigns, if they ask us how we achieve our growth targets. Whether it is opening a new line of products, a new company division or even a new location, we rely on Nabeel’s insight that comes from his strong understanding of the world of search.

Analytical thinking and performance driven marketing

Whilst Nabeel was working with Aniforte UK, he did his utmost to do his work well. Especially when it comes to analytical thinking and performance driven marketing, Nabeel showed his skill, attention to detail and numerical abilities. He also communicates exceptionally well with customers and knows how to convert a prospective client into a sale.
