PPC Marketing Agency Liverpool

Mayfly is a PPC marketing (and many other forms of internet marketing) agency in Liverpool and we’re ready to help your business succeed in the PPC arena. Having provided expert PPC consultant marketing services for over 13 years, we’re well versed in all aspects of PPC consultancy as we have a refined fresh digital approach that enables us to adapt to your audiences interest.

Paid advertising is a cost-effective, fast method of driving relevant traffic to your website. Whereas other digital marketing channels, such as SEO and franchise SEO, are focused on long-term gains, paid advertising on search engines and social networks can provide quick wins for businesses looking to convert searchers or bolster their social media marketing efforts.

Paid adverts can take many forms, but they are all highly trackable. All PPC (pay-per-click) and social ad platforms are geared to track interactions, impressions and conversions, amongst other KPIs, so performance for every campaign can be accounted for.

Paid advertising can also be meticulously targeted towards your chosen demographics. We can create a pay-per-click strategy for your Liverpool business that works in tandem with your business goals and brings the right traffic to your website using the platforms that best suits your needs. Once we’ve built up an audience of engaged users we can then retarget your customers with adverts that will help nudge them over the goal line.

Platforms

Google Ads

Google Ads (formerly Adwords) is one of the oldest PPC platforms around, but it still offers competitive costs per click for businesses who are capable of marrying keyword research, strategy and content creation. The top of the search results page can be bought at a reasonable price for those willing to commit to a creative PPC campaign.

We design and manage profitable PPC campaigns that help websites achieve their goals. We've retained pay-per-click clients for years on the back of our consistent results, driving thousands of enquiries to legal firms, holiday lodges, affiliates and e-commerce sites in a number of niches.
Facebook Advertising

Facebook's Advertising platform can push your message in front of the people you want to meet in an engaging, organic fashion that places your brand seamlessly into the news feeds or stories of your target audience.

Billions of people use Facebook to plan events and discuss a diverse range of interests, creating an opportunity for every business and brand to join the conversation. We've had success promoting major drinks brands and ferret hutches alike. Whatever your business, we can scale your campaign to your needs, so you're always in control.
Twitter Advertising

Twitter has changed immeasurably since its inception in 2006. The micro-blogging social network now utilises a dynamic feed which doesn't guarantee that users will see all the posts of those they follow. Businesses and individuals can use Promoted Tweets to guarantee visibility or create objective focused Ads to increase follower count or engagements.

We've successfully used Twitter paid advertising to build built follower counts for a variety of businesses, including major drinks bands, and have also promoted competitions that have reached thousands for a competitive return on investment.
Instagram Advertising

The Instagram feed is a competitive place for businesses who are trying to compete with super-influencers and international sports stars. Instagram's highly targetable advertising platform places your posts in front of users who are likely to engage with your account, so you can claim another follower and better share your message.

We've helped businesses push the needle on Instagram by creating eye-popping content and smart social strategies that successfully engage their target audience. We understand how to best harness Instagram's advertising features to get the best value out of your budget.

The Brief

Cobley Solicitors enlisted Mayfly to create and market a resource-heavy website that could drive valuable leads at a more affordable rate than third-party lead generator businesses. The Japanese knotweed claims niche is highly competitive, so Mayfly were challenged to increase visibility for the site and generate leads, until long-term SEO efforts came to fruition.

The Brief

Liverpool-based Cobleys Solicitors wanted to generate consistent, high-value leads related to data breach claims without paying the inflated costs of a third-party lead gen company. This highly competitive legal niche attracted big bids, however it was important that costs were kept to a minimum in order to prioritise a lower cost per acquistion.

What We Did

Mayfly created a sleek, professional Data Breaches website to serve as a hub for the PPC campaign’s landing page, and then created ads targeting the data breach keywords that would provide the client with the best return on spend.
