Why PPC matters for Wem businesses
SEO is the long game; PPC is the fast one. When a Wem customer searches with intent, a well-run ad can put you first that same day, filling the pipeline while your organic rankings build. Done properly, with the right targeting and tracking, it is one of the most measurable ways to buy qualified enquiries, and one of the easiest to waste money on if it is not.

Why most Wem businesses lose money on Google Ads
Paid search is the easiest channel to spend money on and one of the hardest to spend well. When we take over an account for a Wem business, it is usually the same four problems.
When we ran an automated audit of 100 Shropshire SME websites for our 2026 Shropshire SME Website Report, 38% failed a basic technical standard and 28% had no structured data at all. That is the field you are competing in.
01
Broad match, and no negative keywords
The account is bidding on anything loosely related to the service, which means free, cheap, DIY, jobs, courses and the names of competitors’ products. A negative list built before launch and extended every week is the difference between a budget and a leak.
02
Conversion tracking that counts the wrong thing
Clicks, page views, or a conversion that fires when somebody merely opens the contact page. Whatever you optimise towards is what Google will get you more of, so if that is not a real enquiry you are buying the wrong outcome efficiently.
03
Ads pointing at the homepage
The ad promises one specific thing and the page it lands on offers twelve. Every extra choice on that page is a reason to leave, and you paid for the click either way.
04
Nobody reads the search terms report
The keywords you picked are not the searches you are paying for. The report showing what people actually typed is the most useful screen in the account and the least opened one.
What the first month looks like
No mystery and no six-month wait to find out whether anything is happening. This is the order we work in, and you see the output of each stage.
-
Week 1
What an enquiry is worth
Before anything gets built we agree what a customer is worth to you and work back to what you can afford to pay for an enquiry. Every decision after this is measured against that figure rather than against a feeling.
-
Weeks 1 to 2
Research and structure
Keywords grouped by intent rather than by volume, the negative list built up front, targeting scoped to where you actually work, and the campaign structure shown to you for approval before any money is committed.
-
Weeks 2 to 3
Tracking before ads
Conversion tracking built and tested end to end. We do not switch a campaign on until a real test enquiry has been recorded, because an account that cannot measure cannot improve.
-
Weeks 3 to 4
Live, then tightened weekly
Live on a controlled budget, then the weekly work starts: search terms mined, negatives added, bids and budgets adjusted, weak ads paused and the better ones scaled.
We quote one fixed price for the work before any of it starts, rather than billing by the hour, so you know the number in advance. How we price explains how we get to it.
PPC & Google Ads in Wem: your questions
How much should a Wem business spend on Google Ads?
It depends on your market and how competitive your keywords are. We start with a sensible test budget, prove the cost per lead, then scale what works. You are always in control of the spend, and we are transparent about what is management fee versus ad spend.
Do I pay even if nobody clicks?
No, that is the point of PPC, you pay per click, not per view. And with conversion tracking in place we optimise toward the clicks that actually become enquiries, so your budget works harder over time.
Can you target just Wem and the surrounding area?
Yes. We geo-target your campaigns to Wem and the towns and villages around it, so you are not paying for clicks from the other end of the country.
