The platforms we work in every day
Glasgow has the Style Mile around Buchanan Street, a busy events trade and strong engineering and business services. Scottish holidays and school terms run on their own timetable, and campaigns should too.
Buchanan Street, Sauchiehall Street and Argyle Street form the city's main shopping area, and many of its retailers sell online as well. Shopping and Search are measured together, so a shop visit and an online order both count.
Concerts and conferences at the SEC, and festivals across the city, bring visitors in through the year. Hotels, bars and restaurants run Search and Meta around those dates, measured on bookings rather than clicks.
Engineering, energy and business services firms in and around Glasgow sell to buyers across Scotland and the UK. Search, Microsoft Ads and LinkedIn are built on technical terms and judged on enquiries that became work.
Most business owners in Glasgow never say PPC. They say Google ads, online advertising or social media ads. It is the same thing: your ads show to people searching or scrolling, you pay when they click, and we make sure those clicks turn into sales and enquiries. Busy sectors in Glasgow include retail, engineering, business services, events.
Text ads at the top of Google for the words your customers type, from "near me" searches to exact product and service names.
Google ShoppingProduct listings with photo and price in Google Shopping and Performance Max, built on a clean Merchant Center feed.
Social media adsPaid social for Glasgow brands: Meta and TikTok campaigns that find new customers and bring back people who visited your site.
Microsoft and Bing adsMicrosoft Ads, often cheaper per click, reaching desk-based and older buyers that Google alone misses.
Tracking and reportingConversion tracking, GA4 and call tracking set up properly, so you see sales and enquiries per ad, not just clicks.
Landing pages and websitesLanding pages and Shopify, WooCommerce or WordPress sites built for the traffic you pay for, hosted and looked after by us.
There are two parts to the cost of PPC in Glasgow: what you pay the ad platforms for clicks, and what you pay us to run the account.
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.
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.
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.

Scottish school holidays and bank holidays shift demand earlier or later than in England. These are the moments Glasgow campaigns are planned around.
Scotland's extra bank holiday stretches the new year break, and Celtic Connections fills the city's venues through the month. January sales and hospitality ads run around both.
Scottish summer holidays start weeks before England's. Travel, days out and family spending move earlier, so Glasgow budgets should not wait for an English calendar.
The summer festival brings big crowds to the east of the city centre. Hospitality and retail nearby plan ads around the weekend it runs.
Pupils in Scotland go back in mid August, well before England. Uniform, stationery and children's retail campaigns peak earlier, and feeds are updated to match.
St Andrew's Day on 30 November often falls in the same week as Black Friday. Scottish brands can use both, with budgets raised in steps from early November.
New Year carries more weight in Scotland than in much of the UK. Hospitality, events and party retail run ads through December and into the last night of the year.
The same playbooks run for clients in every city we work with. Pick the one closest to your business.

IndustryPPC for haircare and salon brands, with non-brand Search built to beat brand.

No. We have no office or staff in Glasgow, or anywhere in Scotland. We are a remote team working on UK hours, and we work with Glasgow businesses by video call, email and shared reports. You speak directly to the specialist who runs your account.
Yes. Scottish school terms and bank holidays differ from England's, so seasonal budgets, copy and promotions follow the Scottish calendar for Scottish audiences. If you sell across the UK, we can split campaigns by nation so each runs on its own dates.
Yes. Hospitality is one of our four packages. Search and Meta campaigns aim to win direct bookings back from the booking sites, and we measure them on bookings and revenue, not on clicks or impressions.
You do. Every account, from Google Ads and Merchant Center to Meta and GA4, stays in your business's name. We work through access you grant and can remove whenever you like, and nothing is held back if we stop working together.
Yes. We set up Merchant Center and Shopping campaigns on a clean feed, and track online and in store sales separately so you can see what each channel brings. If the product pages hold the ads back, we fix those too.
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 Glasgow businesses we usually start with Google and add the others where they pay back.
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.
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.
A short brief is all it takes: website, channels, rough spend. A specialist then reads your account with read-only access and replies with the three changes we would start with.
