Google Ads in City of London
Your Google Ads budget leaks into clicks that never convert. In the Square Mile, where CPCs are high and compliance is non-negotiable, wasted spend is the real cost. We tighten targeting, plug leaks and move budget to searches that bring qualified leads.

Hubb Group is a digital agency and software company. Our studio is in Dubai and we work with UK clients remotely, on UK hours, with a named lead on every project. Contracts and invoices are issued by our UAE company, in pounds.
We measure cost per qualified lead, conversion rate by source, and spend efficiency. Reporting shows which search terms, audiences and campaigns drive actual business enquiries. We track consent status to prove compliance. Monthly reviews compare actual cost per lead against your benchmark.
Every project is a fixed quote with a clear timeline and clear milestones. You own the work and the accounts outright when we're done — no lock-in, and nothing you can't take with you.

High CPCs mean wasted spend costs more in the Square Mile
Legal, insurance and financial services search on expensive terms. A single click in competitive sectors can cost more than your average lead value. When targeting is loose, negative keywords are incomplete, or conversion tracking is missing, that waste compounds fast. You see traffic. You see clicks. You don't see the ones that never mattered.
We start by auditing where your budget goes and what actually converts. We build negative keyword lists specific to your sector, tighten audience targeting, and set up conversion tracking that survives your compliance review. The goal is simple: fewer clicks that waste money, more clicks that bring qualified leads.
Consent mode built into the setup, not added after launch
Regulated buyers demand proof that your ads respect privacy and consent rules. If your tracking is weak or your consent implementation is an afterthought, compliance flags it. We configure Google Ads with consent mode from the start, so your conversion data is clean, your tracking is compliant, and your reporting holds up to review.
This matters more in the Square Mile than elsewhere. Your internal sign-off is part of the timeline. Compliance teams see the setup, not just the results. We make sure they can sign off on the method, not just approve the outcome.
Remarketing that brings back serious buyers, not noise
Not every visitor to your site is a prospect. Finance, insurance and legal buyers often research multiple firms before they move. Remarketing lets you stay in front of them—but only if you're reaching the right people with the right message at the right time. Poor audience segmentation wastes money on prospects who were never ready.
We segment your remarketing lists by intent and engagement level. We tailor messaging to where each buyer sits in their evaluation. Performance Max campaigns let us automate the placement, but we keep control over who sees what and when. The result is lower cost per lead and higher conversion rates.
Measurement your compliance team can trust
Your compliance team needs to see not just how many clicks or impressions you got, but whether those clicks converted and came from the right sources. They need reporting that shows intent, segmentation and consent status. Dashboard metrics are a start. Proof that your budget worked is what matters.
We set up conversion tracking aligned to your business definition of a lead, not Google's default. We build reporting that shows cost per qualified lead, source quality, and consent compliance in one place. When your team reviews the work, they see method and results, not guesswork.
Google Ads in City of London — common questions
How do we know if the ads are generating leads worth the cost in the City?
We track conversions aligned to your definition of a qualified lead, not just form fills. Reporting shows cost per lead, source quality, and which search terms convert. Your compliance team reviews the tracking setup before we scale spend.
What happens when our compliance team reviews the Google Ads account?
Sign-off sits in the timeline, not at the end. We document targeting rules, negative keywords, consent mode configuration and conversion definitions upfront. Your team can audit the setup and approve the method before we launch or scale.
Do you handle negative keywords for our sector?
Yes. We build negative keyword lists specific to legal, insurance or finance, then refine them based on actual search data. We review them quarterly as the market shifts. The goal is to stop low-intent searches from eating your budget.
Can you manage both search and Performance Max campaigns?
Yes. Search campaigns let us target high-intent keywords with precision. Performance Max automates placement across channels while we control audience segmentation and bid strategy. We run both where the data shows they work.
How does consent mode affect our conversion tracking?
Consent mode lets Google measure conversions even when full tracking is restricted by user choice. We configure it so your data is clean, compliant, and usable for reporting. Your compliance team can see the setup and approve it before launch.
What if our budget is tight? Should we focus on search or remarketing first?
Start with search on high-intent keywords in your sector. Once conversion tracking is solid, add remarketing to bring back warm prospects. We build the case for budget allocation based on your actual cost per lead, not guesses.
