🔍 What Is PPC ROI — and Why Does It Matter?

PPC ROI = (Revenue – Cost of Ads) ÷ Cost of Ads

It shows you the actual profit from your Google Ads investment.

If you spend £500 and generate £2,000 in revenue, your ROI is 300%.

Sounds great, right?

But it's only real if your campaign is set up and tracked properly.

✅ When Google Ads Is Worth It

Google Ads can deliver powerful, fast results when:

🔹 You sell high-value products or services

🔹 You operate in a niche with strong local search intent

🔹 Your website is optimised for conversions

🔹 You offer something people are actively searching for

Examples:

"Emergency locksmith Milton Keynes"

"Accountant for small business MK"

"Digital marketing agency Milton Keynes"

These kinds of searches = high intent = high conversion potential.

⚠️ When Google Ads Might Not Be Worth It

Google Ads is not a magic wand. It may not work well if:

❌ Your margins are razor-thin

❌ Your keywords cost £10+ per click in a competitive industry

❌ Your website is outdated or hard to use

❌ You're not tracking leads or sales properly

Too many businesses throw money into Google Ads without knowing what's working.

📊 What's the Average Cost-Per-Click in Milton Keynes?

🧮 It depends on your industry, but here's a general range:

Local services (e.g. fitness, coaching, trades): £0.50–£2.00

Competitive niches (e.g. finance, legal): £3.00–£5.00+

The key is not just to get clicks — but to get profitable clicks.🧠
