A PPC agency that’s actually in Altrincham
PPC ads are the gold-standard of generating quick conversions. Instant visibility, immediate results and the sweet sound of coins as they jingle-jangle in your purse. But therein lies the danger.

Why PPC should be on your radar
PPC has become essential in the digital domain. Almost 50% of small businesses in the UK rely on paid advertising to boost traffic and conversions for their website. If you’re not engaging with a PPC agency, you’re missing out on waves of visitors and wads of cash that could make your business skyrocket. Not sold yet? Maybe this will convince you:
- Tailored audience targeting – The ability to target specific audiences based on location, interests, demographics and more, so you can reach your full range of potential customers
- Customised budgets – Businesses can set daily or monthly budgets, ensuring that they never exceed their allocated advertising spend
- Cost-effective marketing – Unlike traditional advertising methods, PPC advertising allows businesses to pay only when a potential customer clicks on their ad. This means you only pay for actual engagement, making it a highly cost-effective advertising method
- Real-time monitoring – PPC advertising also offers the flexibility to adjust budgets and targeting options in real-time, allowing you to reactively optimise your campaigns and maximise ROI
However, achieving success with PPC campaigns requires more than just setting up ads and paying for clicks. It requires technical expertise and a deep understanding of the platform’s algorithm and campaign management tools. Cue our Altrincham PPC agency.
PPC services to impact your bottom-line
We research, we execute, we optimise and we maximise. The Dark Horse PPC team is the beating heart behind your PPC campaigns that never stops. For us, your business comes first. Here’s what to expect:
Search ads
The OG of PPC ads. The don. Search ads, also known as paid search or pay-per-click (PPC) ads, are a form of online advertising where businesses bid on specific keywords or phrases to have their ads displayed on search engine results pages (SERPs). These ads are typically displayed at the top or bottom of the search results and are marked as “Ad” or “Sponsored.” When a user searches for a particular keyword, the search engine algorithm determines which ads are relevant to that search and displays them accordingly. Advertisers only pay when their ad is clicked, hence the term pay-per-click. If increased visibility and traffic is your aim, then Search ads are the game.
Display ads
The next gen of PPC ads, but prettier. Display ads are a visual form of online advertising where banners or images are strategically displayed on websites or mobile apps to get your users’ attention and encourage them to click on the ad. Unlike standard Search ads, Display ads can be found on various websites and platforms, including social media platforms, news websites and blogs. But the best thing about Display ads is that you can target very specific users based on their demographics, interests, and browsing/buying behaviours to advertise to every one of your audience personas. Personalised ads make your brand or products immediately relatable to your target audience, meaning they are more likely to become paying customers. Ka-ching.
Shopping ads
Think PPC ads for shopaholics. Shopping ads, also known as product listing ads, are a type of online advertising that allows businesses to promote their products directly on search engine results pages. These ads typically appear above or alongside organic search results and feature an image of the product, along with relevant information such as the title, price and store name. Ever seen that ‘Shopping’ tab on Google? Yeah, they’re Shopping ads. Businesses love them for their high-conversion rates, by cutting out the middle-man of endless hours of online browsing and putting your products front and centre of your users to buy instantly.
Remarketing ads
The stalker ads of paid media that won’t let your potential customers get away that easily. Remarketing ads are a type of online advertising that specifically targets users who have previously visited your website or interacted with your brand. These ads are designed to re-engage with potential customers who have shown an interest in a product or service by reminding them of what they were looking at and encouraging them to come back and make a purchase. Lure them back in and turn those users into converting customers.
Premier PPC agency in Altrincham
True PPC success depends on the knowledge, skills and integrity of your agency. If they don’t know or don’t care enough to put their blood, sweat and tears into your paid ads (that includes the cost of the ads themselves and an agency fee, mind you), they don’t have your best interests at heart.
