Google Ads Agency in Portsmouth
I manage Google Ads for businesses in Portsmouth and across Hampshire, founder-led, no contracts, and a free honest audit of your account before you commit. Proper keyword and negative-keyword builds, conversion tracking that actually works, weekly optimisation, and plain-English reporting that leads with what a customer costs you.
Most Google Ads budgets leak, quietly
A lot of businesses run Google Ads and see very little back, broad match keywords they never chose, spend going to searches that can't convert, and "optimisation" that happens once a quarter. The waste rarely announces itself; it just compounds.
Good PPC is a system: tight keyword and negative-keyword lists, conversion tracking you can trust, bids that follow the data, and landing pages that finish what the ad started.
I fix the leaks first, then build a consistent plan that brings your cost per lead down month after month.
What I can help with
Everything handled by me directly, from first plan to ongoing optimisation.
Audit & Plan
I review your site and identify the highest impact issues and opportunities, then turn that into a clear action plan so we fix the right things first.
Ad Copy & Testing
I write and continuously test the ads themselves, headlines, descriptions and extensions, so your budget buys clicks from people who are ready to enquire, not just browse.
Technical Fixes
I identify technical blockers like indexing issues, broken pages, speed problems, redirects, and site structure problems that can hold rankings back.
Existing Content
I improve and expand existing pages so they are more useful, more relevant, and better aligned to what people search for.
Landing Pages
I create targeted pages for specific services, niches, or locations, built to rank and convert, not just exist.
Keyword Research
I research what your audience is actually searching for, what competitors are ranking for, and where the easiest wins and most valuable gaps are.
Site Structure
I improve internal linking so Google understands your site better and users can navigate naturally, helping multiple pages rank together.
Local SEO
If you rely on local customers, I help strengthen local signals like location pages, on-page local intent, and visibility factors that support map and local search performance.
What good SEO can do for you
Qualified Website Visitors
Rank for searches with real intent, so traffic is more likely to turn into calls, enquiries, or purchases.
Lower Ad Dependency
As organic traffic grows, you are less reliant on constant ad spend to generate new opportunities.
Stronger Credibility
Higher visibility in search usually increases perceived credibility, especially when your pages answer questions clearly.
Better Page Performance
SEO improvements often lift conversion too, because pages become clearer, better structured, and more persuasive.
Compounding Growth
Unlike one-off campaigns, good SEO builds on itself over time as your site becomes more relevant in your niche.
Clearer Messaging
SEO forces clarity. You end up with pages that communicate what you do, who it’s for, and what the next step is.
How it works
A clear process from first call to ongoing improvement.
- Step 1
We define your priorities, what you want to rank for, what matters commercially, and what a win looks like.
- Step 2
I review your site performance, technical health, key pages, and search opportunities, then map a priority plan.
- Step 3
I handle the highest impact technical and on-page improvements first, so future content has a solid base to build on.
- Step 4
I optimise existing pages and create new pages where needed, targeting keywords and search intent properly.
- Step 5
SEO is never fully “done”. I keep improving pages, adding content, and tracking what is moving, then adjust the plan accordingly.

Frequently asked questions
Anything else? Book a call and ask me directly.
Can I get SEO help without a full monthly package?
Yes. If you only need specific SEO support, like improving key pages, creating SEO landing pages, or fixing technical issues, just get in touch and I’ll recommend the most cost-effective option.
How long does SEO take to work?
SEO usually builds over time. You can sometimes see early movement within weeks, but meaningful improvements typically take a few months depending on competition, current site health, and how consistently work is implemented.
Do you guarantee page one rankings?
No, and anyone who does is guessing. What I can do is improve your site’s ability to rank by fixing technical issues, targeting the right intent, and building consistent topical relevance.
What’s more important, technical SEO or content?
Both matter. Technical issues can stop content from ranking properly, and great technical health without the right content will not win competitive searches. I focus on foundations first, then build the content system.
Do I need blog posts for SEO?
Not always. Many businesses get better results by improving core service pages and creating targeted landing pages. Blogs help when they support a clear topic strategy and link into your key pages properly.
Can you improve the SEO on my existing pages?
Yes. Improving existing pages is often one of the fastest wins, especially when pages already have some authority but the structure and intent targeting is weak.
Do you do local SEO as well?
Yes, if your business relies on local customers. I can help strengthen location intent on the site and support the elements that influence local visibility.
Will SEO reduce my need for ads?
It can. SEO often reduces reliance on ads over time, but ads can still be useful for faster results and for supporting offers while SEO is building.
What do you need from me to get started?
Access to your website, access to Search Console and Analytics if you have them, and a clear idea of your services, locations, and ideal customer. If you do not have tracking set up, I can help get the basics in place.
Is SEO included in your monthly packages?
Yes, depending on the package. If you want SEO plus ads, website improvements, and reporting under one plan, I can recommend the best fit.
What’s the biggest SEO mistake you see?
Doing lots of activity with no strategy, like random blogs, vague page content, or inconsistent updates, instead of building a clear set of pages that match real search intent.
