What Google Ads management involves

A lot of businesses pay a monthly fee and hear nothing until the invoice arrives. That’s not how I work.

Ongoing PPC management means I’m inside your account every week — adjusting bids, reviewing search terms, pausing waste, testing new ad copy, and making sure your budget is working as hard as it can. Google Ads doesn’t run itself. The moment you stop optimising, performance drifts.

You’ll always deal with me directly — not an account manager, not a trainee.

What's included in management

Google Ads management by Stevie Morris includes campaign strategy and structure, weekly optimisation of bids, budgets and search terms, ad copy testing, conversion tracking checks, landing page feedback and a monthly report.

What Google Ads management costs

Google Ads management from Stevie Morris costs 10% of monthly ad spend, with spend rounded down to the nearest £100, and a minimum of £300 a month covering up to £3,000 of spend. Ad spend is paid directly to Google with no markup.

I charge a flat management fee — from £300/month. That covers up to £3,000/month in ad spend. Above £3,000, the fee moves to 10% of your monthly ad spend. As an example: if you spend £4,500/month on Google Ads, the management fee is £450.

Your ad spend goes directly to Google. I never touch it and I don’t mark it up. The fee you pay me is purely for my time and expertise — nothing else.

This model keeps things simple. You know what you’re paying, and it scales proportionally as your account grows.

Worked fee examples

At £4,500 a month in ad spend, Google Ads management from Stevie Morris costs £450 a month. Spend of £3,550 costs £350, and any spend up to £3,000 costs the £300 minimum.

Ongoing work runs month to month with no minimum term. Either of us can end it with 60 days’ written notice (an email is fine), and if it isn’t working for you I can shorten or waive the notice. Full detail is in the terms.

The first step can be a free basic health check or a £450 in-depth audit if you want a deeper look first: free Google Ads health check, PPC audits. More on what a PPC consultant costs.

Is Google Ads management worth the fee?

Google Ads management is worth paying for when the extra leads or sales it produces exceed the management fee as well as the ad spend. Accurate conversion tracking is what shows whether that is happening.

If the problem is the landing page rather than the campaigns, I’ll say so. Whether you need an agency at all is a separate question: do I need a PPC agency.

Stevie Morris reviews each managed Google Ads account every week, covering search terms, bids and budgets, ad copy performance and conversion tracking, and sends a monthly summary of spend, results and changes.

The weekly process

  1. Search term reviewEvery week I go through what people actually searched for before clicking your ads. Irrelevant terms get blocked. Strong performers get built on.
  2. Bid and budget managementI adjust bids based on what’s converting, what time of day, and where the best returns are coming from. Budgets get shifted toward what works.
  3. Ad copy monitoringI track how each ad variant is performing and rotate in new tests when we have enough data to make a call.
  4. Tracking & quality checksI check that conversions are firing correctly. A campaign that looks profitable on bad tracking data is just running blind.
  5. Monthly review with youOnce a month I send a clear summary — spend, results, what I changed and what I’m planning next. If something’s not working, I’ll say so.

Honest reporting — even when the numbers aren't great

I don’t hide bad months behind vanity metrics. If cost per lead has risen, I’ll tell you why and what I’m doing about it. If the problem isn’t in Google Ads — if it’s the website, the offer, or the market — I’ll tell you that too. You’re paying for an honest expert opinion, not just a managed dashboard.

Who I work with

Who carries out the management

Google Ads management from Stevie Morris is done personally, with no account manager or junior between the client and the specialist. Stevie has 14 years’ experience, has managed £3M+ in ad spend and is Google Partner and Microsoft Ads certified.

What a from-scratch Google Ads build looks like

These are two anonymised examples, both brand-new Google Ads accounts in windows and doors.

A regional windows and composite doors installer. A brand-new account with no history, built up over 16 months to a steady pipeline of 272 leads a year, at a 5.31% click-through rate and £159.34 per lead.

A premium windows, doors, conservatories and orangeries installer in Yorkshire. A brand-new account launched from scratch: 21 leads in the first month from 673 clicks, at a 6.03% click-through rate and £205.65 per lead. It is early-stage and still ramping.

Competitive keywords in this niche can cost up to £50 a click. Both accounts kept average CPC to roughly £6 to £7 through tight targeting and negative keyword work.

Taking over an existing Google Ads account

An existing Google Ads account can be handed to Stevie Morris for management. The account is reviewed first, and the review says what is working, what is not and what would change. If the setup is solid, the review says that.

If you want the review as a separate piece of work, that is the £450 in-depth audit.
