Working with Lisbon

Visitors, start-ups and local buyers.

Lisbon combines a large tourism trade, a growing tech and start-up scene that hosts Web Summit, and service centres for international firms. Local customers expect European Portuguese, while visitors search in many languages.

01Tourism and hospitality

Direct bookings from Alfama to Belém

Hotels, guesthouses, tours and restaurants compete with booking platforms for visitors from across Europe and beyond. Search and Meta campaigns run in several languages and are measured on direct bookings and revenue.

  • Direct booking tracking
  • Campaigns by visitor language
  • Budgets set by season
02Tech and services

B2B campaigns from Parque das Nações

Tech companies, start-ups and service centres in Lisbon often sell across Europe in English. LinkedIn, Search and Microsoft Ads are built by market and language, and judged on pipeline rather than leads alone.

  • Campaigns by market and language
  • Offline conversions from your CRM
  • LinkedIn by role and company
03Portuguese for Portugal

European Portuguese, not Brazilian

Portuguese in Portugal differs from Brazilian Portuguese in spelling, vocabulary and tone, and local shoppers notice. Keywords, ads and landing pages for Portugal use European Portuguese, with copy you or your translator approve.

  • European Portuguese copy approved
  • Separate campaigns for Brazil if needed
  • Landing pages in matching language
Costs

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

There are two parts to the cost of PPC in Lisbon: 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 Lisbon

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

Portuguese dates that move demand.

Lisbon's festivals, conferences and the Portuguese retail year, planned before each one arrives.

JanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepOctNovDec
January

Saldos

The January sales follow Christmas. Feeds switch to sale prices and budgets stay up through the first weeks of the year.

Early May

Dia da Mãe

Portuguese Mother's Day falls on the first Sunday in May. Gift, flower and beauty campaigns run in Portuguese in the fortnight before.

June

Santos Populares

Lisbon's June festivities, peaking on the night of 12 June for Santo António, fill Alfama and the old neighbourhoods. Hospitality and local businesses run ads through the month.

November

Web Summit

The tech conference brings a large international crowd to Parque das Nações. Hotels, restaurants and B2B tech firms plan campaigns around it.

Late November

Black Friday

Portuguese retailers run Black Friday promotions ahead of Christmas. Discounts are loaded into the feed in advance and spend climbs in measured steps.

24 December

Consoada and Christmas

Portuguese families celebrate on Christmas Eve, so gift campaigns end with the last delivery date before the 24th.

Questions

Before you ask.

Do you have an office in Lisbon?

No. We have no Lisbon office and no staff in Portugal. We are a remote team on UK hours, and Lisbon keeps the same clock as the UK, so our working days match. We work with Lisbon businesses by video call, email and shared dashboards.

Do you run ads in European Portuguese?

Yes. Campaigns for Portugal use European Portuguese keywords, ads and landing pages, not Brazilian Portuguese. Copy is written or checked by you or a translator you trust, then approved before it runs. Campaigns for Brazil, if you need them, run separately.

Can you reach tourists searching from abroad?

Yes. Campaigns can target people searching for Lisbon from other countries, in their own language where you have approved copy, with bids set by how each market books. Reports show which countries actually book, not only which ones search.

Do you handle GDPR and Consent Mode v2?

We handle the tracking. Consent Mode v2 is set up and tested, the cookie banner is checked for the right signals, and GA4 and Google Ads are matched to real bookings and orders. Privacy wording stays with you or your adviser.

How do you report?

Each month you get a dashboard with spend, revenue, return and the changes we made, in euro. It leads with bookings, orders and profit, and where a number went down it is shown as down.

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

How much should a Lisbon 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.
