Founder & Client Director of TLC Ads - The Lead Creators. An experienced, straight-talking and friendly Google Ads Agency in Hampshire, UK #googleads #ppc
“Why aren’t we profitable yet? It’s been three weeks.”
This is what kills good campaigns.

Google Ads needs time to learn & stabilise - not panic pulls in week two. Rushing it just resets the clock.

Most campaigns need real #ppclearning before ROI is worth measuring.

Smart Associates approached us about their Google Ads. With clear communication & solid strategy, we built campaigns that actually perform.

They said: “TLC Ads has been very successful in promoting our business through Google Ads.”

Sales says the leads are rubbish. Marketing says they’re hitting target.

Usually they’re looking at different things.
Marketing sees volume.
Sales sees bad fit.

The real issue is #leadtracking. If you don’t track which leads become revenue, you can’t fix the gap.

Your FD asks you to justify spend.
Google Ads shows 247 conversions at £43…
Then: “How many became sales?”

Silence.
Because nobody tracks the gap between leads & revenue.

We use #whatconverts to see which campaigns drive real sales - not just activity. #googleads

Google Ads dashboards say one thing.
Your enquiries say another.

Google tracks signups, downloads & clicks.
You track real buyers.

Business outcomes matter more than dashboards.

Know what you’re measuring. #googleads

There’s a difference between managing #GoogleAds & just monitoring them. Real management is proactive & strategic. Monitoring is checking dashboards & hoping nothing breaks. Too many accounts look “fine” but have no real optimisation. If you’re paying agency fees, you should get agency-level work

“AI won’t take your job. A human who’s great at AI will.”
Bill Kerr said this and it’s true.
AI isn’t the threat — standing still is.
At TLC Ads we use #AI to speed up work, not replace people.
If your company won’t train you, train yourself.

“We’ll get your ads live in 3 days.” Sounds impressive, except it isn’t.You can’t do real audience research, competitor analysis, tracking, journey mapping, or proper copy in 3days. What can happen is a duplicated template, swapped logo, & a few broad keywords. Good #PPC takes time & actual strategy

Month 1: "We're gathering data." Month 2: "Still optimising." Month 3: "Takes time." A good #PPC agency tells you what they're testing, what they've learned, what's changing, and when to expect results. Vague reassurances aren't strategy. You're paying for expertise, not guesswork.

Most #GoogleAds campaigns fail before they launch, not because of strategy, but because the setup is wrong.
Broken tracking. Scattered budgets. Chaotic landing pages.
You can’t optimise your way out of a shaky foundation.
Get the setup right first or spend months paying for the mistake.

Need a speaker who explains #GoogleAds without the sleep-inducing jargon? I've run workshops since 2009 - practical, clear, no boring theory. New Forest Business Partnership: "Participants very grateful, highly recommend." Perfect for events, training. DM to book.

Marketing hits their #leadgen target. Sales can't close them. Both frustrated. The problem? No feedback loop. Sales needs to tell marketing WHY leads don't work - too early, wrong title, unrealistic budget. That's data, not complaining. Weekly check-ins fix this. Without feedback, you're guessing.
November 24, 2025 at 10:30 AM
Businesses treat #LeadGeneration like a tap - on when the pipeline's thin, off when busy. Then wonder why revenue's inconsistent. Lead gen is a system that runs consistently, not a last-minute scramble. Know where buyers are, match messaging, follow up fast.

Consistency. Pragmatism. Results.
Over the past few years, we’ve been proud to partner with Dragonfish UK helping them achieve improved quantity and quality in their inbound opportunities. As Niall says: “Expert, friendly support that works.”

Most businesses know their ad spend, few know which campaigns drive revenue.
Clicks and leads don’t tell you what closed.

If you can’t trace deals back to the campaign or keyword, you’re guessing. Fix your UTMs, capture lead source properly, report on spend to revenue & the real picture appears.

Saw this in Miles’ newsletter: “Conversion design isn’t about looking nice - it’s about getting results.”

True… but aesthetics impact trust, and trust impacts conversion.
If your design doesn’t match what your audience expects, they bounce.
Results and design aren’t separate. #ConversionDesign

Getting conversions but no sales?
Your agency's probably counting email clicks and PDF downloads as conversions.
None of that matters if your sales team can't close them.
Fix your tracking first. Then fix your campaigns.
What's your Google Ads counting right now?
November 6, 2025 at 11:01 AM
Agencies promising "ads up in 3 days" use templates.
We spent 2 weeks on our last client setup - auditing their funnel, understanding their buyers, building proper audiences.
Quick setup = weak foundations.
You can have a campaign tomorrow, or one built to work.
How long did yours take to set up?

Where's your budget right now - focused or scattered?

Most Google Ads are either too vague or too salesy.
The best ones match what people actually search for, say exactly what happens next ("Get a quote in 24 hours" beats "Contact us"), and filter out bad-fit clicks.
Your ads should sound like helpful answers, not sales pitches.

Google Ads "experts" love talking keywords and bidding strategies.
But campaigns that work are built on business strategy - where ads fit your funnel, why people search, and which numbers actually impact profit.
I've seen perfect campaigns fail because the strategy was rubbish.
October 20, 2025 at 10:01 AM
"We need more leads" is the wrong starting point for most businesses.

What you actually need is a clear definition of what makes a GOOD lead.

Your sales team will thank you. Your marketing budget will thank you. And your conversion rates will be through the roof!

From frustration to success.

Cinergi came to us after facing a tough slump in Google Ad performance. An initial audit revealed deeper issues with ad structure and conversion tracking. From there, it was all about rebuilding the foundation for success.

Results don’t lie.

Your #GoogleAds account is bringing in leads, but your sales team is treating them like junk mail. Sound familiar?

The secret to quality leads isn't mysterious - it's about tracking EVERYTHING and telling Google what actually matters.
