The client—

Air IT is a UK managed IT services provider supporting SMEs with IT support, cloud infrastructure, cyber security and modern workplace solutions from sites across the country.

The challenge—

We inherited an account that was paying for the wrong clicks. Budget was spread across irrelevant terms, traffic was landing on the wrong pages and low-quality PMax campaigns were doing most of the heavy lifting. Brand terms were mainly picking up existing customers who’d have found Air IT anyway. And the most expensive term on the account, “apple services”, was attracting consumers rather than businesses.

What we did—

  • Rebuilt the account from the ground up with new campaigns, sharper targeting and fresh ad copy.
  • Replaced PMax with phrase and exact match keywords to reach genuine business intent.
  • Put most of the budget behind IT Support, Air IT’s core service and the way other services often get sold in.
  • Scaled back brand spend and reinvested it in service-led campaigns.
  • Started broad, then optimised towards what performed best.
  • Alongside this, we ran a strategy workshop, made interim fixes ahead of go-live, built HTML5 retargeting ads, set up event tracking and delivered ongoing reporting.

The result—

Better traffic, not just more of it. Average CPC has risen from £2-3 to £3.60-4.40, but each click is now far more likely to become a call, email or form fill. And even with less spend behind it, the brand campaign is now the most efficient in the account.
