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.

Paid advertising is a cost-effective, fast method of driving relevant traffic to your website. Whereas other digital marketing channels, such as 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.

Liverpool PPC Success Stories

Allerton Windows

Intro

Strategic location targeting and content creation helped Allerton Windows dominate local searches for their services, pushing competitors down the search results pages and driving a consistent stream of high-quality, affordable leads.

The Brief

Long-standing clients Allerton Windows wanted to support their ongoing SEO efforts with a targeted PPC campaign that would help improve their visibility on the search results page and apply pressure to competitors who were using PPC to leapfrog the business’ organic rankings.

What We Did

Mayfly created a location-specific PPC strategy which involved writing high-converting landing pages which could help ads perform better than those currently run by the competition. Each target location was micro-managed tightly, in order to cut down on unnecessary costs and shift budget to the regions which needed it most.

The Results

Mayfly’s PPC strategy contributed to a 47% increase in leads for the business, whilst expanding Allerton Windows’ reach and helping them to effectively compete against other businesses in those regions.

Glacial Art

Intro

A granular approach to keyword research and complementary web design helped Glacial Art boost leads through their website, and establish them as national industry leaders.

The Brief

Locally based business Glacial Art were seeing great success with their SEO efforts, however, a new website was needed to back this up, alongside a PPC campaign that could instantly give them a return on their investment.

What We Did

In light of their new website, Mayfly completely rehauled Glacial’s PPC strategy, putting a focus on the extremely niche services that the business provided and assessing how the competition was currently succeeding. We incorporated this competitive research into our new strategy and explored ways to beat the competition on every aspect of their ads.

The Results

The restructured PPC campaign contributed to a 375% increase in leads YOY through the website, with Adwords providing the first touchpoint for customers for over 60% of those enquiries.

Knotweed Help

Intro

The PPC campaign supporting acquisition for Knotweed Help has seen hundreds of valuable leads being generated that have helped Cobleys Solicitors further invest in their marketing efforts.

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.

What We Did

Mayfly used in-depth keyword research to identify high-value topics, created content around these terms and then set up a PPC strategy that targeted those long-tail keywords. We were able to lay the groundwork for a successful SEO strategy, whilst improving overall quality on the website and reducing the cost of acquisition in the process.

The Results

Knotweed Help successfully broke into the niche and disrupted the Paid rankings. Since launching in 2017, leads generated through PCP have increased by 81% YOY, whilst Costs Per Acquisition have been reduced. As organic rankings are surfacing for many key terms, the budget can now be transitioned to new keywords.

Data-Breaches

Intro

Cobleys Solicitors have been at the forefront of searches related to all major UK data breaches, giving them the edge over their legal competitors, even when bidding on brand-related keywords.

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 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. We also continually monitored the internet for breaking news related to data breaches and ensured that we were the first to capitalise on any opportunities for our clients.

The Results

Over 1000 leads were generated via the PPC campaign in the space of a year. We understood that such a fast industry needed similarly agile marketing and have been able to streamline the process of putting our client’s offering in front of those affected by specific data breaches so that Cobleys is the first firm that they contact.
