One PPC plan across every platform
Pay-per-click advertising means you pay only when someone clicks your ad. Most businesses start with Google Ads, but the best results often come from a mix: Google and Microsoft (Bing) Ads for people already searching, Meta and TikTok for demand you create, LinkedIn for B2B decision makers and Amazon for product searches.
We plan PPC as one budget across those platforms, set up conversion tracking first, and move spend every week towards the campaigns that bring real enquiries and sales, not just clicks.

Doing business in Newcastle
Newcastle upon Tyne is the commercial heart of the North East, facing Gateshead across the Tyne, with Sunderland and Durham close by. The city centre runs from Grainger Town and Grey Street down to the Quayside, Newcastle Helix is the city's science and technology quarter, and Ouseburn is home to creative and digital businesses. The region has a strong tech scene, with global software company Sage headquartered in Newcastle, alongside two major universities, a large public sector, and manufacturing and logistics around Team Valley in Gateshead and Cobalt Business Park in North Tyneside. North East customers value straight talk and value for money, and we plan campaigns with that in mind.
We work with Newcastle businesses remotely from Islamabad, which is four to five hours ahead of the UK, so our working day overlaps your morning and early afternoon. Calls are scheduled in UK hours, reporting and invoicing are in GBP, and there is no Newcastle office overhead built into our fees.
PPC Management rules in the UK
Ads must follow the ASA's CAP Code, so claims need to be truthful and evidenced, finance ads fall under the FCA's financial promotions rules, and each platform adds its own policies.
What's different about PPC management in the UK
UK businesses get a meaningful share of searches from Bing, so pairing Google Ads with Microsoft Ads usually lowers the average cost per lead.
Being honest about the limits
PPC works fastest when there's demand and a clear offer. It can't fix a weak offer or a slow website, and costs rise quickly in competitive industries, so we tell you upfront if a budget is too small to learn from.
Paid advertising in Newcastle and Gateshead
Advertising costs on Tyneside are generally well below London's, which means a sensible budget goes further, but North East audiences are quick to ignore anything that feels like a hard sell. For Ppc Management, we target the areas you actually serve, separating Newcastle, Gateshead, North Tyneside and Sunderland where audiences differ, and use direct, honest creative that leads with value and proof.

How much does PPC cost in the UK?
UK click prices are generally lower than in the USA for most industries, but competitive sectors such as legal, finance and home services can still cost several pounds per click. US benchmarks below are a useful upper reference.
| Industry (US, 2025) | Avg cost per click | Avg conversion rate | Avg cost per lead |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average across industries | $5.26 | 7.52% | $70.11 |
| Attorneys & legal services | $8.58 | - | $131.63 |

What PPC management costs
- Flat monthly fee: commonly $500 to $2,500 a month for small businesses, more for larger accounts.
- Percentage of ad spend: typically 10% to 20%, with smaller budgets usually at the higher end.
- Setup fee: often $500 to $5,000 one-time, covering the audit, tracking, campaign structure and first ads.
We quote a clear flat monthly fee in writing after a short call, so your fee doesn't rise just because you spend more on ads.
How to set a starting budget
Work backwards from the number of leads you want. If your expected cost per lead is $70 and you want 20 leads a month, plan for about $1,400 a month in ad spend, plus a few weeks of testing. A budget that only buys a handful of clicks a day is too small to learn from, and we'll tell you if that's the case.
Which PPC platforms should you use?
Most businesses don't need every platform. We start with the one closest to buying intent, usually Google Search, then add others when the first is profitable.
| Platform | Who you reach | Buying intent | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Search | People actively searching for your service | High | Most service and local businesses |
| Google Shopping & Performance Max | Product searches and Google's full network | High | E-commerce |
| Microsoft (Bing) Ads | Searchers on Bing, Yahoo and DuckDuckGo, often older and higher income | High | B2B, professional services, USA/UK/Canada/Australia |
| Meta (Facebook & Instagram) | Interest and lookalike audiences, retargeting | Medium | Consumer offers, e-commerce, local services |
| LinkedIn Ads | Job title, company and industry targeting | Medium | B2B and high-value services |
| Amazon Ads | Shoppers searching on Amazon | High | Brands selling on Amazon |
| TikTok Ads | Younger audiences and short-form video | Low to medium | Consumer brands and apps |
Microsoft (Bing) Ads deserves a closer look in the USA and UK: Bing's share of all US searches was about 7.5% in 2025 and around 8% in the UK, much higher on desktop, and its clicks are often cheaper than Google's because fewer advertisers compete there.
PPC audit checklist: 10 things we check first
- Conversion tracking is set up for calls, forms, WhatsApp and purchases, and tested
- Search terms are reviewed weekly and negative keywords added
- Campaigns are split by service, location or product, not one big campaign
- Ads match the keywords and the landing page message
- Landing pages load fast on mobile and have one clear next step
- Bids and budgets follow cost per lead or return on ad spend, not clicks
- Location and ad schedule settings match where and when you serve customers
- Brand searches are protected from competitors
- Microsoft (Bing) Ads is tested alongside Google
- Leads are followed up within minutes, and outcomes are tracked back to campaigns
Most accounts we review fail at least three of these, usually tracking, search terms and landing pages. Fixing them often lowers cost per lead before any budget increase.

Frequently asked questions
Do you have an office in Newcastle?
Not a physical office. We work with Newcastle businesses remotely, with calls in UK hours (GMT/BST), written weekly reporting and invoicing in GBP. Not paying for a Newcastle office keeps our fees lower than many local agencies.
Should we advertise on Microsoft (Bing) Ads?
Often, yes, especially in the USA, UK, Canada and Australia. Bing has a smaller but often older, higher-income audience, and clicks can cost less than on Google.
Is PPC the same as Google Ads?
Google Ads is the largest PPC platform, but PPC also includes Microsoft (Bing) Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, Amazon and TikTok ads. We plan them together.
Which cities in the UK do you work with?
We work with businesses across the UK, including London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Glasgow, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Bristol, Sheffield and Newcastle.
How much should we spend on PPC?
Enough to get several leads or sales a week at your expected cost per lead. We recommend a starting budget after reviewing your market and goals.
Do we own the ad accounts?
Yes. Accounts are set up in your name, and you keep full access and history.
What is PPC management?
It's planning, building and optimising pay-per-click ads, where you pay only when someone clicks, across platforms such as Google, Microsoft Ads, Meta and LinkedIn.
What rules apply to PPC management in the UK?
Ads must follow the ASA's CAP Code, so claims need to be truthful and evidenced, finance ads fall under the FCA's financial promotions rules, and each platform adds its own policies.
How soon will we see results?
Campaigns usually start bringing clicks and enquiries in the first weeks, with performance improving over the first two to three months as we optimise.
What do you need from me to start?
Access to existing ad accounts and analytics, your goals and target areas, and a clear offer or landing page.
Is PPC better than SEO?
They do different jobs. PPC brings traffic within days and stops when you stop paying; SEO builds traffic over months that keeps coming. Most growing businesses use PPC for quick leads while SEO builds.
How do PPC agencies charge?
Usually a flat monthly fee, commonly $500 to $2,500 for small businesses, or 10% to 20% of ad spend, plus a one-time setup fee. We use a clear flat fee agreed in writing.
What is a good conversion rate for PPC?
Across industries, Google Ads search campaigns averaged a 7.52% conversion rate in 2025 according to WordStream by LocaliQ. Good rates depend on your industry and offer.
What is Performance Max?
It's a Google Ads campaign type that uses automation to show ads across Search, Shopping, YouTube, Display, Gmail and Maps from one campaign. It works best with good conversion tracking and clear product or lead data.
Can PPC work with a small budget?
Yes, if it's focused on a few high-intent keywords, one location and one offer. A budget that only buys a few clicks a day is too small to learn from, and we'll say so honestly.
What are negative keywords?
Search terms you exclude so your ads don't show for irrelevant searches, such as 'free' or 'jobs'. Adding them weekly is one of the fastest ways to cut wasted spend.
How do you track phone calls and WhatsApp leads from ads?
With call tracking numbers, call extensions, click-to-WhatsApp events and website conversion tags, so every lead can be traced back to the campaign and keyword.
Do you manage Microsoft (Bing) Ads?
Yes. We often run Microsoft Ads alongside Google, especially in the USA, UK, Canada and Australia, where it can deliver cheaper clicks from a valuable audience.
How much does PPC cost in the UK?
It depends on your industry and location. In the USA, Google Ads averaged $5.26 per click and $70.11 per lead in 2025 (WordStream by LocaliQ). UK, Canadian and Australian clicks are often lower, but competitive sectors can be expensive. We estimate your costs before you commit.
Are you a PPC agency in the UK?
Yes. We manage PPC for businesses across the UK remotely, with calls in your business hours, written weekly reports and accounts set up in your name.
Is Ppc Management cheaper in Newcastle than in London?
Usually, yes. Costs per click and per lead on Tyneside are generally much lower than in central London, though they vary by industry. We estimate a realistic budget before you commit.
Can you target Gateshead and North Tyneside separately from Newcastle?
Yes. Campaigns can target Newcastle, Gateshead, North Tyneside, Sunderland or a radius around your premises separately, so budget follows where your customers actually are.
Which areas of Newcastle do you cover?
All of Newcastle and the surrounding area, including Newcastle city centre and Grainger Town, The Quayside, Newcastle Helix, Ouseburn, Jesmond and Gosforth. We also work with businesses across the North East, including Sunderland, Durham, South Shields, Washington and Northumberland.
