Are you a UK PPC agency?
Protect every client's brand keywords from competitor bidding
SerpAlert monitors your clients' brand terms hourly, screenshots competitor ads as evidence, and alerts your team in Slack. Built for agencies managing multiple brands — from £69/brand/month.
Before approaching agencies, clarify what you need. Are you looking for lead generation, e-commerce sales, or brand awareness? Your goals determine the type of agency you need and the budget required. UK PPC agencies typically charge £500–£5,000+ per month in management fees, on top of your ad spend.
Google Partner status means the agency has certified staff, meets Google's performance standards, and manages significant ad spend. Premier Partners are in the top 3% of agencies. While Partner status isn't everything, it's a useful baseline indicator of competence.
A surprising number of PPC agencies don't actively monitor whether competitors are bidding on their clients' brand keywords. This is a significant blind spot. Ask prospective agencies how they detect and respond to competitor brand bidding. Tools like SerpAlert provide hourly monitoring with screenshot evidence and Slack alerts — essential for any agency managing brand campaigns.
Good agencies provide transparent, jargon-free reporting. You should see clear metrics: cost per lead, conversion rates, ROAS, and how brand vs non-brand traffic is performing. If an agency only reports on clicks and impressions, look elsewhere.
B2B SaaS, e-commerce and local services all require very different PPC approaches. An agency with deep experience in your sector will deliver results faster because they understand the keyword landscape, competitor dynamics and typical customer journeys.
Many UK agencies now offer rolling monthly contracts rather than long lock-ins. A 3-month minimum is standard. Be wary of agencies that require 12-month contracts with no performance break clause. The best agencies are confident enough in their results to offer flexible terms.
UK PPC agency fees typically range from £500 to £5,000+ per month depending on ad spend, complexity and agency size. Most agencies charge 10–20% of ad spend or a flat management fee. Boutique agencies start around £500/mo, while enterprise agencies may require minimum ad spends of £10,000+.
Brand bidding happens when competitors bid on your brand name as a Google Ads keyword. This drives up your CPCs and diverts your organic traffic to competitors. Agencies should monitor brand terms for their clients using tools like SerpAlert to detect competitor ads with screenshot evidence and respond quickly.
Most PPC management can be done remotely, so a local agency isn't strictly necessary. However, local agencies understand regional market dynamics and offer in-person meetings. For businesses targeting specific UK regions, a local agency can provide valuable market insight and faster communication.
Most UK PPC agencies need 2–3 months to fully optimise a new account. You should see early performance improvements within the first month, but the best results come from sustained optimisation over 3–6 months. Agencies that promise instant results may be cutting corners.
