Our PPC Services in Oxford

PPC, or pay-per-click, is a type of paid advertising used to have your business appear in places like Google and Amazon when people search for the products or services you offer.

Unlike most other branches of marketing, PPC can be scaled very quickly by simply increasing ad spend, meaning that once your business achieves reasonable ad costs per successful sale, the whole system can be scaled exponentially, sometimes even overnight.

However, PPC is a more multi-layered process than most other areas of marketing. A multitude of factors affect advertising costs, and knowing which platforms are most likely to perform best requires an understanding of the business itself, the typical costs for that product and audience on each platform, where different products tend to perform best, and which advanced controls can be used to bring ad costs down and make scaling possible.

At Scale Oxford, each of our PPC experts has previously managed eight-figure ad spend and worked on advertising for global brands such as L’Oréal, Lacoste and Jotform. This is the level of expertise that will be applied to your account.

  1. PPC Strategy & Planning

    We analyse your business and bring you the budget distribution plan that will generate the most revenue from your budget. The action plan covers platforms, audiences, budgets, bidding and more. This serves as your playbook to PPC success.

  2. Search Ads: Google & Bing Search

    Paid search is often a top-performer for local or function-based businesses, such as legal services. We place your business in front of people searching for the keywords most closely tied to what you offer, so your budget goes towards users already showing clear intent.

  3. Google Shopping & Performance Max

    Show your products across Google, Shopping, YouTube and other placements, usually with images, prices, store information, and more. Best suited to ecommerce businesses looking to reach potential buyers.

  4. Meta Ads

    Known for relatively low advertising costs. Strong fit for local Oxford businesses and general consumer products. Your ads appear across Facebook and Instagram placements.

  5. TikTok Ads

    TikTok Ads is another low-cost platform that works best with products with strong visual appeal. Fashion, beauty, food, fitness products are usually a much more natural fit than things like accounting services.

  6. LinkedIn Ads

    LinkedIn Ads are usually the strongest fit for B2B businesses in Oxford that sell to professional audiences. LinkedIn allows targeting with things like job title, company size and industry, which makes it useful for SaaS, consultancy and high-ticket services.

  7. Amazon Ads

    Amazon Ads put your products in front of people who are already looking to buy. They’re especially useful when customers are comparing similar products and you want to display your product near the point of purchase.

  8. Technical Advisory

    Weekly advisory sessions and ongoing Slack support from our most experienced PPC specialists. Our paid search, analytics and marketing experts step in with technical advisory to solve your toughest challenges.

Frequently Asked Questions About PPC Agencies In Oxford

How much does PPC management cost in Oxford?

Most PPC agencies in Oxford do not publish their prices publicly. Agency fees vary greatly, with some charging a fixed retainer, and others a percentage of your advertising spend. At Scale Oxford, our PPC management starts at £1,200 per month, with our Business+ package at £1,600 and Enterprise management at £3,000. These prices cover our management fee in full, with no hidden fees or additional agency costs.

Do you charge a percentage of my ad spend?

No. Whether you’re starting from scratch or managing millions in monthly ad spend, we do not charge a percentage on top of our standard management fee. Your agency cost stays fixed based on the package you choose.

Do you get commissions or rebates from Google?

No. We do not receive commissions, rebates or any other payments from Google or the advertising platforms we manage. The only money we receive is the retainer you pay us.

How much should my business spend on PPC each month?

The ideal budget depends on what a lead, sale or other desired action costs on the platforms you use, and how much your business is comfortable paying for each one. We work backwards from that number, then scale your campaigns as far as we can while keeping acquisition costs below it. For local businesses, monthly PPC budgets commonly range from around £500 to £5,000+, although there is no fixed amount. It varies greatly by business model: an ecommerce company may rely heavily on ads to drive sales and spend significantly more, while a large manufacturing firm may choose to put more of its growth budget into sales rather than advertising.

Should I do PPC or SEO?

It depends. For small or local businesses, PPC is often more expensive but delivers results much faster, while SEO is usually lower cost over time but takes longer to build momentum. However, every business faces different levels of online competition and different market dynamics, so two seemingly similar companies can end up benefiting from completely different marketing channels. If you have little prior experience with either, the best approach is often to test both and see which one starts producing positive results for your business.

Can you take over an existing Google Ads or Meta Ads account?

Yes, absolutely. If you already have campaigns running, we usually prefer to work directly within the existing account because it contains your historical conversion data, past performance and platform learnings. That gives us a much stronger starting point than rebuilding everything from scratch.

Do you create the ads as well as manage the campaigns?

We can do either. If you already have creative assets, we can work with those directly. If not, our in-house design team can prepare the visuals and video needed for your campaigns at no additional cost.
