PPC agencies.

PPC, or pay-per-click, is paid placement on search engines and social platforms. It spans Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok, and, for larger budgets, programmatic display and YouTube. In 2026 the discipline is increasingly run by AI: Performance Max, Smart Bidding, and first-party audience signals doing the heavy lifting under human strategists.

Editor's note
The UK has roughly 387 agencies leading with PPC or paid media. They split into three buckets: boutique shops and freelance specialists charging £300-1,500 a month to manage smaller accounts, mid-market agencies running fuller paid programmes at £1,500-5,000, and large or network agencies handling enterprise spend at £5,000-20,000+ or 10% of media. Most charge a flat retainer, a percentage of ad spend (typically 10-20%), or a hybrid with a minimum monthly floor. PPC moves faster than SEO. Impressions and clicks land within hours of launch. The harder question is when performance stabilises, and the practitioner consensus is two to three months once Smart Bidding has enough conversion data to optimise against. That window is where the work actually lives. In 2026 the discipline has shifted decisively toward AI-led campaign management. Performance Max, AI Max (Google's September upgrade to Dynamic Search Ads), and Smart Bidding now do most of the optimisation. The agency's job is increasingly about clean conversion tracking, strong first-party audience signals, and creative quality, rather than keyword-by-keyword bid management. Below: the index, filtered down to whoever's actually doing the work.
Typical cost
10-20% of spend
or £1,000-5,000/mo retainer

Boutique / freelance £300-1,500 · Mid-market £1,500-5,000 · Network £5,000-20,000+. Hybrid models pair % of spend with a £1,500-2,500 monthly minimum. London quotes ~30% higher than regional UK.

Realistic timeline
Days to weeks
for first data, ~3 months to stabilise

Hours-2 days launch + learning · 2-6 weeks early optimisation · 6-12 weeks meaningful trend read · 3+ months stable CPA on Smart Bidding.

Red flags
6 to watch
in any pitch
  • · Pure percentage-of-spend pricing with no CPA, ROAS, or quality commitment
  • · No named Google Ads or Meta certified specialist on the account
  • · Refuses to give the brand admin access to its own ad accounts and pixels
  • · Vague attribution: can't explain GA4, view-through, or offline conversion imports
  • · Junior staff running everything from templates, no senior oversight or testing roadmap
  • · Account opens in their MCC with no path to migrate it back when the relationship ends
