Working with Newcastle

Tyneside's market, read properly.

Newcastle combines a major retail centre, two universities, a growing tech and games scene and engineering and energy firms along the Tyne. Each has its own buyers and its own campaign.

01Retail

Northumberland Street and Eldon Square

The city centre is a major shopping destination for the North East, and many of its retailers sell online as well. Shopping and local campaigns are measured together, so a sale in store and a sale on the website both count.

  • Store and online goals tracked separately
  • Promotions matched across feed and shop
  • Local ads around the city centre
02Tech and games

Software, games and digital services

Newcastle has a growing tech and games sector selling to businesses and players far beyond the region. Search, LinkedIn and Meta are judged on demos, sign ups or purchases, with each audience kept separate.

  • Sign ups tracked to paying customers
  • LinkedIn audiences by role
  • Creative tested on cost per acquisition
03Energy and engineering

Offshore, energy and engineering leads

Firms along the Tyne serve offshore energy, subsea and engineering projects. Buyers are specialist and few, so Search and LinkedIn are built on technical terms and job roles, and judged on enquiries that became work.

  • Technical keyword lists by capability
  • LinkedIn by industry and seniority
  • Enquiries tracked to contracts
Costs

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

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

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

Newcastle dates that move demand.

The moments in the Tyneside year that change what people search for and buy.

June

The Hoppings

The travelling fair on the Town Moor is a big date in the city's summer. Family attractions, food and nearby hospitality run local ads around it.

September

Great North Run

The half marathon from Newcastle to South Shields brings runners and supporters to Tyneside. Running brands, hotels and hospitality plan ads around race weekend.

Mid November

Christmas shopping starts

The Christmas windows and lights on Northumberland Street mark the start of the season. Retailers move to Christmas copy, gift ranges and delivery dates.

Late November

Black Friday and Cyber Monday

The most competitive retail week of the year. Budgets rise in steps through November and promotions are in the feed before the day.

26 December

Boxing Day sales

Feeds switch to sale prices overnight and campaigns stay funded through to New Year, when shoppers are off work and buying online.

Questions

Before you ask.

Do you have an office in Newcastle?

No. We have no Newcastle office and no staff on Tyneside. We are a remote team on UK hours, and we work with Newcastle businesses by video call, email and shared dashboards. You talk directly to the specialist who runs your account.

Can you target the wider North East?

Yes. Campaigns can target Newcastle, Tyneside, the wider North East or a radius around your site, each with its own bids. For businesses that sell nationally, we check location data monthly and pull back where spend does not convert.

Do you work with software companies?

Yes. B2B software campaigns run on LinkedIn, Search and Microsoft Ads, judged on demos and pipeline. CRM data flows back into bidding, so campaigns learn which leads became customers rather than which ones filled in a form.

What happens in the first week?

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

Do you lock us into a long contract?

Every engagement has a fixed monthly fee agreed up front, and your accounts stay in your name throughout. If you decide to stop, every login, pixel and file is already yours, so there is nothing to hand back.

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

How much should a Newcastle 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.
