Bing Agency Manchester

Depending on who you get your information from, Bing accounts for up to 8.23%1 of global desktop search market share, but less than 3%2 of paid search share. This means it could be a lot less competitive than Google Ads for your business. Our PPC agency Manchester is certified by Bing, and we know exactly how to create the perfect Microsoft Ads campaign for you.

What do our clients say?

“We had been through 3 other digital agencies prior to Custard, all of which were double the price if not more.

Custard are not only the least expensive of all of the agencies we have used, they have delivered exactly what they said they could, and then some. Rose & the team have been able to clearly explain what they have done and why they have done it, gradually transitioning our paid ads so that there was no drop off in revenue from our site, and consistently building success on top.

Would thoroughly recommend.”

Frequently Asked Questions


What does PPC mean in marketing?

Pay-per-click (PPC) advertising is a form of online advertising in which advertisers pay a fee each time a potential customer clicks on one of their ads. PPC is a way for advertisers to quickly get their message in front of potential customers who are already looking for what they have to offer, and are ready to begin their shopping journey.


How can PPC help your business?

As the world of digital marketing continues to grow, so too do the opportunities for businesses to connect with their target audiences. Among the most effective ways to reach consumers is through pay-per-click advertising, commonly referred to as PPC.

PPC is an online advertising model in which businesses can purchase ad space on search engines and other websites. When a user clicks on one of these ads, the business pays a small fee to the host website – typically Google or Microsoft.

One of the major benefits of using PPC to grow your business is that it allows you to specifically reach consumers in your target demographic who are already interested in what you have to offer. For example, if you sell running shoes, you can use Google Ads marketing and Bing Ads marketing to target users who have searched for terms like “running shoes” or “runners” in a specific location or matching a particular demographic profile.


How to choose a PPC agency

When it comes to choosing a PPC agency, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. Here are a few tips on how to choose the right PPC agency for your needs:

  1. Make sure the agency has experience with managing PPC campaigns in your industry or vertical.
  2. Ask for case studies or examples of previous work the agency has done.
  3. Get a list of references from the agency and talk to their past clients. You’re welcome to speak to any of our clients – past or present.
  4. Make sure the agency is transparent about its pricing and what is included in its services.
  5. Ask about the agency’s reporting process and how they measure success.
  6. Find out what kind of support the agency offers after the campaign is live.
  7. Make sure you feel comfortable with the team at the agency and that they understand your goals.

What to look for in a PPC agency

When it comes to working with a PPC agency, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. First and foremost, make sure that the agency you choose is reputable and has a good track record. Secondly, be clear about your goals and objectives from the outset. This will help the agency understand what you’re looking for and how they can best help you achieve your goals. Finally, be prepared to invest some time and money into your campaign. A good PPC agency will be worth its weight in gold when it comes to helping you reach your target audience and increase your ROI.
