Google Ads Management for Ely Businesses
Ely's own catchment is small enough that a wide radius setting wastes a real share of budget on clicks from people who will never travel to buy from you. That's one of the first things we check on an inherited account. As a Google Ads agency we start with measurement, offline conversion import where sales close on the phone and value assignment so bidding chases money rather than form fills. Only after that do we touch a single budget. Whether the business is chasing cathedral visitors or quoting Lancaster Way contracts, nothing gets scaled until that's right.

About us
Clickscope manages Google Ads for Ely businesses, with radius and targeting set to match a genuinely local catchment rather than a default setting. We're a Cambridge digital marketing agency 25 minutes down the road, so Google Ads support comes with real visits, not just video calls.
Our MISSION
Fix the targeting radius before you scale the spend
We check conversion tracking, radius settings and negative keywords before touching a budget, because an Ely catchment set too wide funds clicks from people who were never going to visit.

Judged on profit per pound
Budget decisions answer one question, the marginal return on the next pound, looked at against margin rather than a flat return on ad spend figure.
How we run Google Ads for Ely businesses
01 / How we work
Measurement first, structure second
We fix conversion tracking and offline import in the first fortnight, then separate brand, generic search, Shopping and Performance Max so each can be judged on its own terms.

Conversions that mean something
We remove page views and form loads counted as conversions more than once, so the bidding algorithm trains on real signal rather than noise.

A flat fee, not a percentage
You pay a flat monthly fee agreed in advance, never a percentage of spend that rewards a bigger budget over better profit.
Client Results
Looking at every PPC account we've taken over, 93.2% ended up better on the measure the client cared about most. That figure is an average across many different businesses, not a promise for any single Ely account, and it includes the ones we couldn't improve.

FAQ
The questions you actually want answered
Do we need to meet in person to manage our Ely Google Ads account?
Not usually, but we're about 25 minutes away by car or 15 minutes by train if you want a face to face review of the account.
How much do you charge for running Google Ads, and how is it calculated?
Our fee is flat and monthly, fixed in advance according to the campaigns and markets involved. We don't add a percentage of ad spend on top.
What is the notice period?
Thirty days' notice applies on a rolling monthly basis, with no minimum term. Access is returned within a week of you asking for it.
Is there a minimum ad spend for this to be worthwhile?
There's no hard minimum, but below roughly a few thousand pounds a month the management fee starts to swallow the value. We'll tell you honestly if that's the case for your business.
Who owns the ad account?
You do, always. Your data history, conversion setup and audiences belong to your business, whether or not we're still involved.
Do you manage Google Ads for agricultural and engineering businesses as well as retail?
Yes. Ely's agriculture, engineering and logistics firms typically need a narrower, quote-driven setup, quite different from a retail or hospitality campaign.
Do you only manage Google Ads for businesses in Ely?
No, we're not limited to one patch. We manage accounts across Cambridgeshire and out into Suffolk, Essex and Hertfordshire, and Ely is a town we work in regularly.
Can you fix the landing page as well as the ads?
Yes. Web design and development sit in-house, so a page that converts poorly can be improved alongside the campaign pointing at it.
What happens in the first fortnight of managing our account?
Conversion tracking and offline import are fixed first, so bidding trains on real leads or sales rather than page views counted as conversions.
How regularly does someone actually look at our account?
The account gets checked weekly at minimum, and daily during the first month or a scaling push, with every change recorded in the monthly report.
Should our radius targeting cover all of Cambridgeshire or stay tight around Ely?
For most Ely businesses, tight. Ely's catchment is small enough that a wide radius usually wastes budget on clicks from people who were never going to travel.
