Google Ads for London 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’m not based in London, but 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.

London is the UK's largest and most competitive business market, a vast global city of nearly nine million people spanning the City and the West End out to dozens of distinct boroughs, surrounding towns and Home Counties villages. Across finance, tech, creative, hospitality and a huge trades sector, businesses compete hard for the same local customers. Standing out in London means dominating the near-me searches, local signals and Google Business Profile that decide who gets found across a sprawling capital and its commuter belt.
