Working with Barcelona

Tourism, tech and design.

Barcelona combines a big tourism trade, a growing tech scene in Poblenou's 22@ district, design and fashion brands and a major port. Catalan and Spanish are both official, and many customers expect both.

01Tourism and hospitality

Direct bookings, many languages

Hotels, tours and restaurants compete with booking platforms for visitors from across Europe and beyond. Search and Meta campaigns aim for direct bookings in several languages, measured on revenue, with high season planned early.

  • Direct booking tracking
  • Campaigns by visitor language
  • Budgets set by season and event
02Tech and start-ups

B2B campaigns out of 22@

Software and tech companies in Poblenou often sell across Europe in English and Spanish. LinkedIn, Search and Microsoft Ads are built by market and language, and judged on pipeline rather than form fills.

  • Campaigns by market and language
  • Offline conversions from your CRM
  • LinkedIn by role and company
03Catalan and Spanish

Speak to customers in their language

Catalan matters for local audiences and many Catalan brands, while Spanish reaches the rest of Spain. We run each language in its own campaigns or ad groups, using copy you approve, with matching landing pages.

  • Catalan and Spanish ad groups split
  • Copy approved before launch
  • Reports by language
Costs

How much does it cost to advertise on Google in Barcelona?

There are two parts to the cost of PPC in Barcelona: what you pay the ad platforms for clicks, and what you pay us to run the account.

01

Your ad budget, paid to the platforms

The money for clicks goes straight from your card to Google, Microsoft, Meta or TikTok, in EUR. You set it, you can see every charge, and it stays in your accounts.

02

Our fixed monthly fee

One fixed fee for running the account, agreed in writing once we understand your channels and goals. No percentage of spend, so we have no reason to push your budget up.

03

What decides the cost per click in Barcelona

Competition for your search terms, your margins and the area you target. Busy sectors and city-centre postcodes cost more per click, which is why we start with the searches and areas that already sell.

Questions

Before you ask.

Do you have an office in Barcelona?

No. We have no Barcelona office and no staff in Spain. We are a remote team on UK hours, one hour behind you, so most of the working day overlaps. We work with Barcelona businesses through video calls, email and shared dashboards.

Can you run ads in Catalan?

Yes. Catalan and Spanish run as separate ad groups or campaigns, each with its own ads and matching landing pages. Catalan copy comes from you or a translator you trust, and we test it like any other ad. Reports show each language separately.

Do you plan around the tourist season?

Yes. Budgets, copy and bids follow the season, with the busiest months planned in spring and big events like MWC built into the schedule. In the quieter months, spend comes back to what those weeks actually return.

Do you handle GDPR and Consent Mode v2?

Yes, on the tracking side. We set up and test Consent Mode v2, check the cookie banner sends the right signals, and match GA4 and Google Ads to real bookings and orders. Privacy wording stays with your adviser.

What happens in the first week?

We audit the account with read-only access: tracking, search terms, feeds, languages and budgets. You get the findings in plain numbers and the first changes we would make, then we agree targets with you.

Is PPC the same as Google advertising?

Yes, mostly. PPC means pay per click: you pay when someone clicks your ad. Google Ads is the biggest PPC platform, but the same model runs on Microsoft Ads (Bing), Facebook and Instagram, TikTok and Amazon. For Barcelona businesses we usually start with Google and add the others where they pay back.

How much should a Barcelona business spend on Google Ads?

Enough to buy a meaningful number of clicks on the searches that sell, then more as the numbers prove themselves. We look at your margins, average order or lead value and the competition for your terms before suggesting a budget, and the budget calculator on our site gives a first estimate.

How soon will we see results?

Search ads can bring enquiries and sales within days of going live. The bigger gains come over the first two to three months, as tracking is fixed, wasted searches are cut and budget moves to what converts. You see every change and the effect in the monthly report.
