Google Ads management · Google Partner agency
We turn ads into customers
Google Ads management for businesses that want results they can count, not reports they can't read. Campaigns built around what makes you money, run by specialists you actually speak to.
What Google Ads looks like when it actually works
Here's what we've delivered for businesses that trusted us with their ad spend.
Mermaids Swimwear
A boutique swimwear brand growing online sales through Shopping and paid search.
UK Cleaning Supplies
A cleaning supplies business turning ad spend into measurable revenue, fast.
All Clean London
A commercial window cleaning company set on owning the London area.
What we'll get you, and how
Forget the jargon for a second: here's what Google Ads can actually do for your business, outcome by outcome, and the campaign type behind each one. We'll tell you honestly which fit your business and which don't.
Be the answer the moment they search
Someone types exactly what you do into Google, and your business is the first thing they see. These are your highest-value visitors: people with a need, a budget and intent, and we put you in front of them at that precise moment.
Your products, sold before the click
Shoppers see your product, its photo, its price and your name before they've clicked anything, so the people who do click are already half-sold. For ecommerce, this is where the money is.
Every corner of Google, one goal
Search, YouTube, Gmail, Maps and the web, all working toward your one goal from a single campaign. In careful hands it finds customers you'd never have targeted; unwatched, it quietly spends. Ours is the careful kind.
Turn "maybe later" into "ordered"
Most people don't buy first visit, and that's fine, as long as they come back. We keep your business in front of recent visitors until the moment they're ready, at a fraction of the cost of finding them the first time.
Stay front of mind while they decide
Bigger decisions take weeks, and the brand they remember usually wins. Your business stays quietly visible across the websites your customers read while they make up their mind.
Be known before they even search
The strongest position isn't winning the search, it's being the name they search for. Video puts your business in front of your market at scale, building the awareness that makes everything else cheaper.
Know exactly what your money makes you
No guesswork, no vanity metrics. Every click, call and purchase is tracked back to the pound that bought it, so you always know what's working, and so do we.
What you get, and how we work
We're good at one thing here: turning ad spend into customers. Here's what that looks like next to the way most agencies do it.

Get a free Google Ads strategy and forecast for your business
It starts with the question most businesses can't answer on their own: what should we actually spend? If you're not sure, we'll research your market, your competitors and the keywords your customers use, then forecast what your budget could realistically deliver: clicks, costs and conversions. You get an honest plan you can hold us to, including telling you straight if we don't think ads are the right move yet.
Why designbox
A few honest reasons clients choose us, and stay with us.
You speak to the person managing your account
Your dedicated Google Ads specialist is the person building your campaigns, monitoring your budget and optimising your results. Not an account manager passing messages to someone you've never spoken to.
We treat your budget like our own
That means asking the right questions before we spend anything, being honest when something isn't working, and always prioritising your return over our convenience.
Proactive, not reactive
We don't wait for problems to appear in your monthly report. We're in your account regularly, spotting issues before they cost you money and finding opportunities before your competitors do.
We're a Google Partner
Our team holds Google Ads certifications that have to be re-earned every year. You're working with specialists who stay current with how the platform works and how to get the most from it.
Google Ads works even harder alongside
Paid search performs best as part of a system. Because everything at designbox is in-house, the team managing your ads can also fix the landing pages, feed the remarketing lists and own the results beside them.

Google Ads FAQs
Can't see yours? Ask us anything on a quick call, no obligation.
How much should I spend on Google Ads?
There's no universal answer: it depends on your market, your goals and how competitive your keywords are. What we can tell you is that we work with budgets from £500 per month, and we'll always be honest about whether your budget is realistic for what you want to achieve before you commit to anything. One thing we do say: Google Ads is an investment to grow your business, not to save it.
How quickly will I see results from Google Ads?
Unlike SEO, Google Ads can drive traffic from day one. That said, campaigns typically take four to eight weeks to fully optimise as the algorithm learns and we refine the targeting. We manage that process actively, so your budget isn't funding the learning curve any longer than necessary.
What is ROAS and why does it matter?
ROAS stands for return on ad spend, and it's the most important metric for understanding whether your ads are actually working. Spend £1,000 and generate £5,000 in revenue, and your ROAS is 5x. We report on ROAS as a primary metric because it connects your ad spend directly to business outcomes. For leads-based businesses, we focus more on CPA, your cost per acquisition.
Do you manage existing Google Ads accounts or only set up new ones?
Both. If you have existing campaigns that aren't performing, we audit them thoroughly before making any changes; often there are quick wins that make an immediate difference. If you're starting from scratch, we build your account structure from the ground up with a clear strategy from day one.
Will I still own my Google Ads account?
Yes, always. Your Google Ads account belongs to you and you retain full access at all times. We work within your account rather than running campaigns through our own, so if you ever decide to move on, everything stays with you.
What's included in the management fee?
Everything needed to run and improve your campaigns: keyword research, bid management, ad copy, A/B testing, landing page optimisation, conversion tracking and monthly reporting. The ad spend itself is separate and goes directly to Google.
Do you charge a setup fee?
Yes, there's a one-time setup fee that varies by plan. It covers the time needed to audit your account or build it from scratch, set up conversion tracking properly and get your campaigns ready to launch.
Can I see a strategy before committing to anything?
Yes, and we'd encourage it. We offer a free Google Ads strategy and forecast: we research your market, competitors and keywords, then forecast what your budget could realistically deliver in clicks, costs and conversions. You get an honest plan, including being told straight if we don't think ads are the right move for you yet.
