PPC Agency Pontypridd

Google Ads without proper management
is money leaving your account.

When someone in Pontypridd searches for your service, when a homeowner in Tonyrefail looks for a local tradesperson, when a business owner in Treforest needs a professional on page one, the ads at the top get the enquiries. Google Ads puts you there immediately, while your organic visibility builds in the background.

The difference between paid search campaigns that drive enquiries and campaigns that drain budget is management. Tight keyword targeting based on real Pontypridd search data. A negative keyword list that actually gets maintained. Conversion tracking in place before a penny is spent. Ad copy tested and refined, not set and forgotten. Bids reviewed against real performance data, not left to drift.

I manage Google Ads personally for a small number of businesses across Pontypridd and the wider RCT area. Every account gets the same level of attention. Every month you get a plain English report on what was spent, what it produced, and exactly what I am doing next.

The difference

Managed well
= enquiries.

The same ad budget, managed properly versus left to run, produces a completely different result. Most Pontypridd accounts I audit have the same fixable problems.

What I Actually Do

What Google Ads management actually involves

Running paid search Pontypridd is an ongoing job, not a one off setup. Here is what I manage for Pontypridd businesses and what each part does.

01

Search Campaign Management

Search ads appear when someone in Pontypridd or the wider RCT area actively searches for what you offer. A builder in Tonyrefail. An accountant near Treforest. A solicitor in Church Village. I manage your Search campaigns with tight keyword targeting, correct match types, and ad copy tested and refined over time. Every click is qualified and tracked back to a real enquiry, not just a visit.

Right for

Pontypridd service businesses that want to appear in front of active local buyers at the exact moment they search.

02

Paid Search Strategy and Structure

Most Google Ads accounts in and around Pontypridd are set up once and left to run. Wrong match types, no negative keyword list, traffic landing on a homepage that was never built to convert. I build campaigns from a clean structure: the right keywords, the right ad groups, and a negative keyword list that filters out searches that will never produce an enquiry. Then I manage them properly, month after month.

Right for

Pontypridd businesses that have tried Google Ads before and been disappointed, or that want to start properly from the beginning.

03

Ongoing Optimisation and Reporting

Paid search Pontypridd is not a set and forget exercise. Bids change, search behaviour shifts, and competitors adjust their spend. I review and optimise your campaigns on a regular schedule: cutting what wastes money, scaling what converts, and keeping the negative keyword list tight. Every month you get a plain English report on what was spent, what it produced, and what I am doing next.

Right for

Any Pontypridd business already spending on paid search that wants proper management rather than a campaign running itself into the ground.

Why Most Ads Fail

Most Google Ads accounts waste money. Here is why.

Google Ads is one of the fastest ways to put your Pontypridd business in front of buyers. When someone in Tonyrefail searches for a tradesperson, when a Rhydyfelin homeowner looks for a kitchen fitter, when a Church Village business owner needs a local service, the ads at the top get the calls.

But most accounts are set up badly and left to run. Wrong keywords. No negative keyword list. Traffic landing on a homepage that was never built to convert. No conversion tracking, so no idea whether those clicks produced anything at all.

I have audited accounts for businesses spending £500, £1,000, even more each month and getting almost nothing back. Every time, the platform is not the problem. The management is. Fix the foundations and the results follow.

Common mistakes I fix

  • Bidding on broad match keywords that attract the wrong traffic

  • No negative keyword list: paying for clicks that will never convert

  • Sending all ad traffic to the homepage instead of a relevant landing page

  • No conversion tracking: no idea if ads are generating real enquiries

  • Set-and-forget campaigns: never tested, never optimised

What I do instead

Tight keyword match types, a negative keyword list built before a campaign goes live, dedicated landing pages, and conversion tracking set up from day one. Every month I review the data and cut what's wasting budget.

Every decision is data driven. Every pound is accountable.

Bid adjustments, keyword decisions, ad cuts: all based on real performance data from your Pontypridd account.

What You Get

Everything your Pontypridd campaigns need. Nothing you do not.

Every Google Ads management retainer with BLACKdot includes these foundations as standard, whatever plan you choose.

Conversion tracking from day one

Before a single Pontypridd campaign goes live, tracking is set up for calls, form submissions, and key page actions. You will know which clicks turn into real enquiries, not just impressions and visits.

Keyword research for Pontypridd and RCT

I research the search terms your Pontypridd customers actually use and structure campaigns with the right match types. Budget targets buyers searching locally, not people browsing for something else.

Negative keyword management

A maintained list of searches your ads should never appear for. Without it, budgets drain fast on irrelevant traffic. I build this list before launch and update it throughout the retainer.

Regular bid optimisation

Bids are reviewed and adjusted based on what the data shows. Not set once and left to drift. Frequency depends on your plan: weekly on Starter, three times a week on Growth, daily on Authority.

Ad copy testing

Multiple ad variants run in parallel. The ones that generate Pontypridd enquiries get more budget. Underperformers get cut or rewritten. A continuous process, not a one off task.

Monthly plain English reports

Every month: what was spent, what it produced, cost per lead, and what I am adjusting next. No graphs that do not connect to your Pontypridd business goals.

  • South Wales based

    I understand the Pontypridd and RCT market: the local search landscape, the competition your business faces, and what your customers are actually searching for on Google.

    I manage a small number of accounts personally. You will always deal with the person who actually runs your Pontypridd campaigns, not an account manager who passes the work on.

    Every campaign has conversion tracking in place before it goes live. You will know which clicks turned into actual Pontypridd enquiries, not just which ones happened.

  • 10+ years experience

    Over a decade running paid search campaigns across service businesses, retailers, and SMEs. I know what wastes Google Ads budget and I know what drives enquiries in local markets.

  • Plain English reporting

    Monthly reports that tell you what was spent, what it produced, and what I am doing next. No jargon, no dashboards full of metrics that do not connect to your business.

How It Works

From brief to live Pontypridd campaigns

01

Audit or build

If you are already running Google Ads in Pontypridd, I audit the account first, identifying where budget is being wasted and what needs fixing. Starting from scratch? I research your market, local competitors, and the search terms your Pontypridd customers use. Conversion tracking is installed and verified before anything goes live.

02

Campaign structure

I build campaigns with the right keywords, the right match types, and a thorough negative keyword list based on local search data for Pontypridd and the RCT area. The foundations determine how well everything performs. Not a single pound is spent until they are right.

03

Launch and early optimisation

Campaigns go live and I monitor closely in the first two weeks. Early performance data tells me what is converting and what is not. Bids are adjusted from the start, not after a month of wasted spend.

04

Ongoing management and reporting

Every month you get a plain English report: what was spent, what it produced, cost per lead, and what I am changing next. I track the metrics that matter to your Pontypridd business: enquiries, not impressions.

Enquiry focused management. Not click focused.

Every plan tracks conversions, not just impressions. You will know exactly what your Pontypridd ad spend is producing.

My Difference

Google Ads management done properly.

  1. Every campaign decision is data driven. What is generating Pontypridd enquiries gets more budget. What is not gets fixed or cut.

  2. You will see exactly where every pound of your ad spend went. No mystery. No hiding behind dashboards.

  3. No markup on your ad spend. You pay Google directly. My management fee is fixed and shown on this page.

  4. Monthly plain English reports: what was tested, what performed, what is changing and why.

  5. No long contracts. Three months to prove it is working. After that, 30 days notice. You deal with me directly, not a junior account manager.

Agencies have overheads, account managers, and shareholders. I don't. You get the person who actually runs your campaigns, every time.

Common Questions

Things Pontypridd businesses ask about Google Ads management

Faster than SEO. Campaigns can appear in front of Pontypridd buyers the same day they go live. Most clients see enquiries within the first week. The first month includes a learning phase as the campaigns gather data and I make early adjustments. From month two, the optimisation compounds and results typically improve.

No. You fund your Google Ads account directly and every penny goes to Google. My management fee is fixed and published on this page. It does not change based on how much you spend. No markup, no percentage, no hidden fees.

Yes. I start with a full audit to identify where budget is being wasted: wrong keywords, missing negatives, poor match types, no conversion tracking. Then I fix the foundations and manage going forward. Most new clients are surprised at how much was being lost.

For Pontypridd Search campaigns, I recommend a minimum of £300 to £500 per month in ad spend. Below that, there is not enough data to make meaningful optimisation decisions. I will give you a specific recommendation once I understand your market and goals.

No. I ask for an initial three month commitment so campaigns have time to be set up, launched, and properly optimised. After that, it is 30 days notice to cancel. No 12 month lock ins, no exit fees.

Yes. BLACKdot works with businesses across Pontypridd, Treforest, Rhydyfelin, Church Village, Tonyrefail, Llantrisant, Taffs Well, Nantgarw, and the wider Rhondda Cynon Taf area. Campaigns are targeted geographically so your budget reaches the right local buyers.
