Pay Per Click Management

Simply Clicks has been managing Pay Per Click campaigns since 2003. We manage client budgets in a range from £1,200 to £300,000 per annum.

As pay per click specialists, we can generally make significant savings over an in-house managed PPC campaign. At the cost per click level, savings of up to 70% are not unusual. At the conversion level we can do even better.

More importantly, several of our clients have used our pay per click management services and PPC training courses to transform the scale and profitability of their businesses.

Whether you have an existing Google Adwords or Bing campaign, or are just curious about exploring a new PPC campaign, you are welcome to contact us.
