Google Ads for Bristol businesses
Campaigns built around the local jobs you actually want.
I’m Stu, a New Zealand-based Google Ads specialist. I run campaigns for businesses across New Zealand and the United Kingdom, targeting the local searches that bring profitable work and blocking the ones that just burn budget, the difference between a click and a real customer.
I was born in Bristol, though I’m based in New Zealand now, and Google Ads is managed entirely online, so distance is no barrier. You deal with the person running your campaigns, not a faceless agency or an account manager reading from a script.
Bristol is the largest city in the South West of England and one of the UK's most dynamic, home to a thriving mix of aerospace and engineering, tech and digital, creative industries, and a strong independent trades and hospitality scene.

In a competitive and fast-growing city, well-targeted Google Ads are what put you in front of ready-to-buy customers the moment they search, ahead of the businesses buried below in the results.

Plan your budget
How much should a Bristol business spend on Google Ads?
Enter a budget and a few assumptions to estimate the clicks, enquiries and cost per lead it could generate. This is your ad spend, separate from our fees. Figures in GBP.
Why spending less can cost you more
Google Ads is a live auction, and your budget decides how often you can show up for the searches that matter. Set it too low and your ads stop showing partway through the day, the campaign never gathers enough data to optimise, and you win only the cheaper, lower-intent clicks. So you can spend less and still get worse value, paying for clicks that never turn into work. A budget with enough room to compete consistently is usually what turns Google Ads from a cost into a return, and for most trades that means starting from around $30 to $50 a day. We’ll help you set one that fits, and we’d rather tell you honestly that a budget is too low to work than watch it struggle.
Rough estimates only. Real ad costs swing a lot by industry and competition, so treat every figure here as a ballpark to plan with, not a quote or a promise.
What you plan to spend on Google Ads each month, paid to Google.
Clicks vary a lot by industry and competition, often £5 to £20+. We’ve set a cautious default, adjust it to your market.
How often your ad gets clicked.
How many visitors become enquiries. This leans heavily on your website: a clean, fast, well-built site converts far better than a slow one.
We have been using Stu for our advertising campaigns for a number of months and could not recommend him enough! The communication has been excellent and the service delivered has really helped us to maintain and grow our business.
