Is Paid Search the Right Growth Channel for You?
If the challenges below sound familiar, your PPC is likely being under-optimised or misaligned to pipeline.
Spending consistently, but leads aren’t the right fit?
Clicks don’t equal customers. Without intent-led targeting and messaging, PPC drives volume while quality stays low.
Cost per lead climbing and results swinging month to month?
Without tight account structure and ongoing optimisation, results drift and budget gets wasted.
Missing a clear, performance-led strategy for your PPC campaign?
When PPC runs on tactics instead of data, it becomes reactive. A focused roadmap keeps spend tied to pipeline.
Working with Common Ground
Why choose Common Ground as your B2B PPC agency?

We pair that commercial focus with senior delivery: no juniors, no layers of account management, and direct access to the people running your campaigns. The result is faster decisions, sharper optimisation, and more of your budget going into performance.
AI-powered efficiency, human-led strategy

Our proven PPC process
Step 1
Discover – research & insight that shapes performance
We start by understanding your goals, margins, ICP, and current performance. Through account reviews, competitor research, keyword analysis, and audience insights, we identify where demand is coming from, what’s working, and what’s being wasted. The result: clear priorities and a plan for driving qualified leads efficiently.
Step 2
Build – campaign structure built to scale
Next, we build (or rebuild) campaigns designed for control and performance. That includes account structure, targeting, ad groups, ad copy and creative, tracking, and budgets – so everything is ready to launch with clean data and clear intent from day one.
Step 3
Convert – landing pages built to turn clicks into leads
Clicks don’t matter if they don’t convert. We ensure your landing pages are PPC/CRO-ready – aligned to keyword intent, built around the buyer’s question, and designed to drive action. This includes messaging alignment, UX improvements, and conversion tracking so performance can be measured properly.
Step 4
Manage – performance management that scales what works
Once live, we manage and optimise continuously. We test ads, audiences, keywords, bids, and landing page variants to improve lead quality and reduce cost per acquisition over time – while protecting spend and scaling what works.
Step 5
Measure – transparent reporting that connects spend to pipeline
PPC is only valuable if you can see what it drives. We provide clear reporting, regular communication, and commercial insight – tracking performance against the metrics that matter, from CPL and lead quality through to conversion rate and pipeline contribution.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
How quickly can PPC deliver results?
PPC can generate results fast – often within just weeks of launch. Early performance usually stabilises over the first few months as we gather data, refine targeting, and improve conversion rates. Most B2B campaigns see more predictable efficiency and lead quality improvements within 4-8 weeks of continuous optimisation.
How is B2B PPC different from standard PPC?
B2B PPC is about intentional targeting and lead quality, not cheap clicks. Buying cycles are longer, decision-makers are harder to reach, and conversion volumes can be lower – so success depends on strong intent mapping, messaging that builds trust, and measurement that connects spend to pipeline.
Which PPC channels do you manage?
We typically manage paid search (e.g. Google Ads and Microsoft Ads) and can also support paid social where it makes sense for B2B demand generation (e.g. LinkedIn). The right mix depends on your ICP, sales cycle, and how your buyers research and evaluate solutions.
What’s included in your B2B PPC service?
Our PPC retainers typically include research and planning, account builds or restructures, conversion tracking setup, ad creation, landing page/CRO input, ongoing optimisation, and reporting. Each programme is tailored to your goals – whether that’s lead volume, lead quality, CAC efficiency, or pipeline contribution.
How do you measure PPC success?
We track metrics that align with revenue – not vanity KPIs. Success is measured through CPL and CPA, conversion rate, lead quality, and where possible, pipeline contribution and revenue influenced. You’ll receive clear reporting and practical insight on what’s working and what we’re doing next.
Do you offer packages or bespoke PPC services?
Yes – we offer both. Packages provide a clear starting point, while bespoke programmes are designed around your market, channel mix, and commercial targets. Many clients begin with a package and evolve into a tailored plan as we learn what drives the strongest ROI.
Do you tie clients into long 12-month contracts?
No. We work on shorter, more flexible agreements that keep us accountable and give you confidence. PPC works best with consistent optimisation over time, but we don’t rely on long lock-ins to retain clients.
Can you work alongside our in-house marketing or sales team?
Absolutely. We regularly collaborate with internal teams to align messaging, landing pages, lead handling, and reporting. Whether you need strategic direction, execution support, or a full managed service, we’ll fit around your setup.
What industries do you specialise in?
We work primarily with B2B brands across SaaS, technology, and e-learning. If your growth depends on reaching the right buyers with the right message, we can build PPC campaigns that match how your market buys.
Do you support landing pages and conversion rate optimisation?
Yes. PPC performance is heavily influenced by landing pages, so we help ensure pages are built to convert – from message match and UX to form structure and tracking. We can advise, collaborate with your team, or handle improvements as part of the programme.
How do you improve lead quality (not just lead volume)?
We optimise for quality through intent-led keyword strategy, audience targeting, tighter messaging, negative keywords, conversion actions, and lead qualification signals. Where possible, we also align with your CRM to understand which leads convert into opportunities – and optimise toward that.
Can you take over an existing PPC account?
Yes. We can audit and take over existing accounts, identify wasted spend and structural issues, then rebuild or optimise based on what will drive better performance. If there’s valuable historical data, we’ll use it – and fix what’s holding results back.
What tools and technology do you use?
We use industry-standard PPC and analytics tools (e.g. Google Ads, GA4, Tag Manager) plus supporting platforms for research, testing, and reporting. We also use AI-assisted workflows where they speed up analysis and optimisation – while strategy remains human-led.
Can you provide client references or case studies?
Yes – absolutely. We can share relevant case studies, testimonials, and (where appropriate) arrange reference calls. We’re happy to show exactly what we did, why it worked, and how we’d apply the same thinking to your market.
How soon can we get started?
Most clients can begin within 2-3 weeks, depending on capacity. After a discovery call, we’ll confirm the right approach, agree scope, and onboard you quickly so we can start building and launching campaigns.
