Working with Birmingham

Built for how Birmingham buys and sells.

Birmingham and the wider West Midlands combine manufacturing, professional services and a busy retail centre. Each sells in its own way, so each gets its own campaign structure.

01Manufacturing and engineering

Reach buyers, not browsers

Automotive suppliers, engineering firms and manufacturers across the West Midlands sell on quotes and long sales cycles. Search and Microsoft Ads target part numbers and specifications, and offline conversions show which clicks became orders.

  • Keywords built around specs and part numbers
  • Quote forms tracked to signed orders
  • Microsoft Ads for office based buyers
02Professional services

Enquiries from Colmore Row and beyond

Law firms, accountants and consultancies in the city's business district compete for a small number of valuable searches. Tight keyword lists, strong negatives and call tracking keep spend on people ready to instruct.

  • Exact and phrase match on core services
  • Call tracking with recorded outcomes
  • Negatives for free advice and jobs
03Retail and jewellery

From the Jewellery Quarter to online

The Jewellery Quarter is one of the city's best known trades, and many of its businesses now sell online. Shopping feeds with clear metal, stone and size attributes help the right pieces show for the right searches.

  • Feed attributes for metal, stone and size
  • Separate campaigns for gifts and bridal
  • Local ads for showroom visits
Costs

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

There are two parts to the cost of PPC in Birmingham: 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 GBP. 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 Birmingham

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.

The local calendar

Birmingham dates worth a budget.

From NEC shows to Christmas trading, these are the points where demand in and around Birmingham shifts.

JanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepOctNovDec
February

Valentine's Day

The first gifting peak of the year, and a busy one for jewellers. Shopping campaigns for rings, necklaces and gifts get budget and promotions a fortnight ahead of delivery cut-offs.

March

Crufts at the NEC

The dog show brings visitors to the NEC every March. Pet brands time launches and offers around it, and Search and Meta are planned to match.

Mid November to December

Frankfurt Christmas Market

The market fills the city centre for weeks. Retailers and hospitality nearby run longer ad schedules, with Christmas copy and opening hours kept current.

Late November

Black Friday

Retail auctions are at their busiest. Budgets rise in measured steps through November, and promotions go into the feed before the day, not on it.

26 December

Boxing Day sales

Sale prices go live in the feed overnight, and campaigns stay funded through the quiet week to New Year, when shoppers are off work and browsing.

Questions

Before you ask.

Do you have an office in Birmingham?

No. We have no Birmingham office and no staff based in the city. Serann Marketing is a remote team that works on UK hours, and we work with Birmingham businesses by video call, email and shared dashboards. You talk directly to the specialist in your account.

Do you work with B2B manufacturers?

Yes. B2B is one of our four packages. We build Search, Microsoft Ads and LinkedIn around what buyers type, track quote requests through to orders, and feed that back into bidding. A commercial catering and heating parts supplier we run reached 14.12x ROAS in its best month.

Can you target the West Midlands rather than all of the UK?

Yes. Campaigns can target Birmingham, the wider West Midlands or a radius around a site, with different bids for areas that convert better. For national sellers, we review location data every month and pull back where spend does not turn into orders.

What happens in the first week?

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

Do you run Microsoft Ads as well as Google?

Yes. Microsoft Ads often suits B2B, because it reaches people searching on work computers. We bring across proven Google campaigns, then adjust bids, negatives and audiences for Microsoft's own search terms rather than leaving a copy running untouched.

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 Birmingham businesses we usually start with Google and add the others where they pay back.

How much should a Birmingham 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.
