See it in action

Google Ads, from one search to a tracked lead.

Watch a buying search turn into a tracked enquiry. We build the campaign, the landing page and the conversion tracking behind it, then optimise and report on every campaign so you stop wasting spend and can see exactly what each euro returns.

What we do

Google Ads management that drives ROI.

We plan, build, optimise and report on every campaign, so you stop wasting spend and start scaling spend that returns.

01

Strategy & Account Audit

Account audit, conversion-tracking sanity check, channel goals and a 90-day plan we both execute against.

02

Keyword & Competitor Research

Mining the keywords that ready-to-buy customers actually search, plus a teardown of what your competitors are bidding on.

03

Campaign Build & Ad Copy

Search, Performance Max, Shopping or Display, built with tight ad groups, on-brand copy and creative that earns the click.

04

Landing Page Conversion

Recommendations and tweaks to your landing pages so the click you paid for actually converts. Speed, message match, and a clear next step.

05

Bid Management & Optimisation

Continuous bid, audience and creative optimisation. We squeeze cost per acquisition down and quality leads up, week after week.

06

Reporting & Strategy

Plain-English monthly reports tied to revenue and CPA, plus a strategy call to discuss what's working, what's next and where the budget moves.

How it works

From audit to ROI in four phases.

A clear, transparent process so you always know what we're working on and why.

01
Audit & discover
We learn your business, audit your existing Google Ads account if you have one, and benchmark performance to set the baseline.
02
Build the campaigns
Keyword research, competitor mapping, campaign architecture, ad copy, creative, landing page recommendations and conversion tracking. Designed end-to-end.
03
Launch & track
Campaigns go live with full conversion tracking, audience layering and bid strategies tuned to your goal: leads, calls, sales or pipeline.
04
Optimise & compound
Continuous A/B testing on copy, creative, audiences and bids. Monthly reporting in plain English tied to revenue and cost per acquisition.

We've been working with Craig at Starling Digital across a few areas of the business, website maintenance and updates, Meta ads, and LinkedIn outreach, and the support has been excellent throughout. He's responsive, proactive, and clearly takes the time to understand what we're trying to achieve. The website runs smoothly, the ads are well managed, and the outreach has opened up genuine conversations for us. Couldn't recommend Starling Digital more highly.

Starling Digital have been great to work with. Craig and the team look after our email marketing, social content, Meta ads and Google ads amongst other things. They are extremely knowledgeable in their field and always very responsive to any request. Highly recommend them to any business especially those who may not have much experience in marketing themselves and don’t know where to start!

We’ve had a really positive experience working with Starling. Their Google Ads and Meta Ads management has made a clear difference for Bayt, and we’ve seen strong growth in lead enquiries since getting started. They’re proactive, easy to work with and bring a real depth of expertise to what they do.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I brought Craig from Starling Digital in to support one of my clients, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From day one, Craig showed a strong understanding of web design, Google Ads, and SEO, and quickly got to grips with the client’s business needs. He delivered a high-quality website that looks great and performs really well, while also improving the client’s lead generation through effective Google Ads management. The SEO work has also made a noticeable difference in their online visibility. Craig was professional, easy to work with, and communicated clearly throughout the entire process, which made my job a lot easier too. I’d have no hesitation recommending Craig and Starling Digital to anyone looking for reliable, results-driven digital marketing support. Thanks a Million Craig! Wendy

FAQ

Common questions.

Most accounts see meaningful improvement in CPC and click-through inside the first 30 days. Quality lead and revenue lift typically shows up within 60–90 days as bid strategies, audience layers and creative iterate.
Yes, where it makes sense. We audit and rebuild the existing account so you keep historical conversion data and Quality Score. New builds only happen when the existing account is too far gone to repair.
Depends on your industry, geography and goals. We recommend a budget after the audit. As a guide, most clients run between €1,500 and €8,000 per month in ad spend, with our retainer on top.
No. Most clients work with us on a rolling monthly retainer because Ads compounds, but you're free to leave with 30 days' notice.
A monthly report in plain English (impressions, clicks, conversions, cost per acquisition and revenue from Ads) alongside what we tested, what worked and what's rolling forward. Plus a live dashboard you can check any day.
