AdPilot Pledge To Take Google AdWords Management To New Heights

Two high flyers from Bradford on Avon , Tom Vaughton and Thomas Stocks launch a new , flexible service , for companies in need of running Google AdWords campaigns .
“ Many companies have historically managed Google AdWords campaigns in-house because they used to be simpler and cheaper . Now it is a lot more complex and we realised there was a specific need in the market for AdWords experts who can run campaigns on behalf of companies ,” said AdPilot co-founder , Tom Vaughton .
Google AdWords campaigns work when advertisers make bids on keywords so that their clickable adverts appear in Google search results . Google is by far the biggest search engine with 77 % of the market share and there are well over four billion searches a day on Google alone . Businesses rely on AdWords campaigns to convert customers interested in their services or products and are often willing to spend hundreds to thousands of pounds on these campaigns , which need to be closely managed to be effective .
Google Flying Licences Tom Vaughton and Thomas Stocks decided to set up AdPilot in collaboration , having worked on digital strategies together at sister company , Varn , to leverage and focus their many joint years of experience in paid and organic search marketing .
“ Google is by far the biggest search engine with 77 % of the market share ”
As accredited Google Partners , as well as being Google Analytics Qualified , the founders concluded from working with local businesses in the Wiltshire region , that there was room for an alternative kind of offer that was more flexible , that didn ’ t require a full year ’ s commitment and has options to match different budgets and objectives .
Adwords Service Takes Off Thomas Stocks said : “ The idea is that our work pays for itself , with an increased return on investment and profitability . In some cases , we can reduce advert spend with an increase in performance . We think this is an
exciting new development in this kind of service , as creating AdWords campaigns has become a fast moving and essential part of the marketing mix for anyone who wants their website noticed by relevant customers .
“ We are a bit different , in that our clients need only commit to a short-term contract of three months . This can be either a plug-in , temporary service or a rolling agreement , whichever is most convenient to bolster online marketing . Flexible agreements and bespoke help , I think those are the two things companies want right now .”
As Tom and Thomas have worked together in business for several years prior to this launch , the pair expect to gain momentum quickly and are looking forward to working with local companies , to help their clients ’ search based marketing convert directly to profit .
