Working with Boston

Science, education and finance.

Boston and Cambridge are known for universities, biotech around Kendall Square, hospitals and research, and asset management in the Financial District. Most of these sectors sell to specialists who research carefully.

01Biotech and life sciences

Reach researchers and partners

Biotech, medtech and lab suppliers sell to scientists and procurement teams. Search and LinkedIn are built on technical terms, with healthcare ad policies checked first and leads tracked to quotes and orders.

  • Policy checks before launch
  • LinkedIn by function and institution
  • Quotes tracked to orders
02Education

Applications, not just enquiries

Universities, schools and course providers advertise to students in the US and abroad. Search, Meta and LinkedIn are measured on completed applications, with domestic and international audiences in separate campaigns.

  • Application tracking end to end
  • Domestic and international split
  • Negatives for unrelated course searches
03Financial services

Careful buyers, careful copy

Asset managers and financial advisers sell to investors who compare slowly. Search and LinkedIn target real intent, copy is cleared by your compliance team before launch, and leads are judged on accounts opened.

  • Compliance sign off before launch
  • Leads tracked to accounts opened
  • LinkedIn by seniority and industry
Costs

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

There are two parts to the cost of PPC in Boston: 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 USD. 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 Boston

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

Boston dates on the calendar.

Boston's own calendar is shaped by its universities and its marathon. These are the moments we plan for.

JanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepOctNovDec
April

Patriots' Day and the Boston Marathon

A Massachusetts holiday on the third Monday in April, and race day. Running brands, hotels and restaurants plan ads around the weekend.

May

Commencement season

Graduations across the city's universities bring families into town. Hotels, restaurants and gift brands see a busy few weeks.

1 September

Moving day

Many Boston leases turn over on 1 September, so moving, storage, furniture and cleaning services peak around it. Budgets rise in late August.

October

Head of the Charles

The rowing regatta brings athletes and visitors to the Charles River. Hotels and hospitality in Boston and Cambridge plan ads for the weekend.

Late November

Black Friday and Cyber Monday

Retail auctions peak. Promotions are loaded into the feed in advance and budgets rise in steps through November.

Questions

Before you ask.

Do you have an office in Boston?

No. We have no Boston office and no staff in Massachusetts. Serann Marketing is a remote team, a trading name of Serann LLC in Wyoming, and we work with Boston businesses over video calls, email and shared dashboards.

How do you handle the time difference?

We work on UK hours, which overlap with the Boston morning. Calls are booked for your morning, and much of the account work is finished before you start. Anything sent in your afternoon is picked up first thing the next UK day.

Do you work with universities and schools?

Yes. Education campaigns run on Search, Meta and LinkedIn, measured on completed applications rather than enquiries. Domestic and international audiences are kept apart, so each has its own budget, copy and deadlines.

Can you advertise financial services?

Yes, within platform rules and your compliance process. Copy is cleared by your team before launch, targeting avoids restricted categories, and leads are judged on accounts opened or assets won, not form fills.

What results have you had?

Our Google Ads accounts average 9.40x ROAS, with $7.56M in conversion value on $805K of ad spend managed. Accounts run in GBP; figures converted to USD. Individual results vary, and most of these accounts are e-commerce.

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

How much should a Boston 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.
