PPC Agency for Google Ads & ChatGPT Ads | The Media People
PPC & ChatGPT Ads

A PPC agency that shows you it’s working.

Paid search should earn every pound you put into it, and you should be able to see how.

 

We’re a top 1% Google agency, running Search, AI Max, Performance Max, Demand Gen, YouTube and ChatGPT Ads. Every account gets a quarterly health check and a roadmap that ties each action to your KPIs.

How we run your account

A clear plan and the evidence behind it.

You see what we see, every quarter.

Every quarter we run a rigorous health check on your account: structure, tracking, bidding, budgets, creative and missed opportunity. You get the full results, not a summary written to reassure. What it finds goes straight into your roadmap, a clear set of actions with a KPI attached to each one, so you always know what we’re doing next and why.

What is PPC, and when is it the right answer?

PPC is far more than search ads. Google Ads now reaches people at every stage of a decision, from the first time they see your brand on YouTube to the moment they search for it by name. So we start with your objective, plan each campaign for the job it's there to do, and measure it against the outcome that matters at that stage.

Demand Gen and YouTube introduce your brand to new audiences. Demand Gen, Performance Max & Chat GPT keep you front of mind while people compare options. Search, AI Max and Shopping convert people who are ready to act.

Each campaign is measured by the outcome is there to drive but we judge the plan as a whole.  Total Intelligence shows us the connection, so the campaigns that started the journey get their share of the credit.

Paid and organic together

Why plan PPC as part of a Total Search Strategy?

Paid and organic search reach the same people, so we plan them as one. We call it Total Search: one plan, one view of what search delivered, and paid budget pointed where it does the most work.

 

When paid and organic run as one channel, which we call Total Search, the wasted overlap finally becomes visible. The usual outcome is the same performance on less spend.

Run separately
Run together
Both teams bid for the same query
You decide which channel should own each query
Paid keeps paying for terms you already rank for
Paid budget moves to terms organic can't win
Two reports and two success stories for one customer
One view of what search delivered
Organic content ignores paid keyword data
Paid data shows which content is worth creating
ChatGPT Ads

What are ChatGPT Ads, and should you run them?

ChatGPT Ads are now live in the UK. They work differently from search ads, reach a specific slice of ChatGPT users, and suit some categories far sooner than others.

How they work
How they work
Sponsored placements matched to the conversation.

ChatGPT Ads are clearly labelled sponsored placements below a response, matched to the context of the conversation rather than to keywords. With no keyword to match, the creative and its relevance matter more than the bid.

Who sees them
Who sees them
Free and Go plans, and logged-out users.

Ads appear only on ChatGPT's Free and Go plans and for people using ChatGPT logged out. Plus, Pro and business accounts are ad-free plus anyone it identifies under 18.

Should you?
Should you?
It depends where your buyers do their research.

ChatGPT Ads are worth testing if your audience asks your category's questions inside an AI assistant. We plan them alongside your Google campaigns, with a test budget and a clear KPI, and we'd rather tell you it's too early than sell you a channel because it's new.

PPC audits

What if you just want someone to check the account?

A PPC audit is the right call if you just want your account checked, and ours is standalone work, not a pitch with a document attached.

The audit covers account structure, keyword and match-type strategy, negative keywords, ad copy, bidding and conversion tracking. It tells you plainly what’s wasted and what’s missing.

Some clients take the audit and implement it themselves, or bring the account in-house with our support. 

Common questions

Frequently asked questions.

Paid search is full of confident claims and conflicting advice. These are the questions we’re asked most about PPC, Google Ads, Microsoft Ads and ChatGPT Ads.

What does a PPC agency do?

A PPC agency plans, builds and manages your pay-per-click advertising on platforms such as Google Ads and Microsoft Ads: account structure, keywords and negative keywords, bidding, ad copy, product feeds and conversion tracking. 

Yes but part of one plan, which we call Total Search. PPC reaches the audiences, searches and moments organic can’t reach on its own, and your organic rankings help us put paid budget where it works hardest. Our brand bidding script is one example: when you rank first and no competitor is bidding, it moves that budget to more competitive searches, then switches your brand ad back on as soon as a competitor appears.

PPC delivers traffic immediately. Reliable performance data takes longer, because you need enough conversions before any of it means anything. Restructuring an existing account usually shows meaningful change within weeks, not months.

Yes, we manage Microsoft Ads and shopping campaigns as well as Google Ads. Microsoft Ads often faces less competition than Google, so clicks can cost less in some B2B categories. It’s worth testing on your own keywords. Shopping campaigns are handled alongside product feed quality, since a feed a platform can’t parse is a feed that can’t sell.

Yes, ChatGPT Ads and Google Ads can run together, and they should be planned together. They reach the same person at different points in the same decision. Treating them as separate budgets makes it impossible to see what search as a whole delivered.

We’ll audit the account and tell you what’s wasted, what’s missing, and whether you need an agency at all.
