Real Numbers · Real UK Accounts

Real results. Anonymised by client request. No fake screenshots.

Most agencies publish stretched stats and recycled mockups. I publish anonymised case studies with percentage outcomes, an honest portfolio summary, and the methodology behind every number. The raw dashboards stay private — you can verify them on a discovery call under NDA.

All figures from one active UK home improvement account, personally managed since December 2022. Performance varies by industry, market and account maturity — I’ll never promise the average is what you’ll get without auditing your account first.

How I report

Honest by default. GDPR-safe by design.

Other agencies’ case studies are often fiction, recycled mockups, or worse — client data published without permission. Here’s the system I use instead.

1

Named clients only with written permission

I never use a client’s name or logo until they’ve signed off on exactly how it appears. No exceptions, no ambush testimonials.

2

Percentage outcomes, never raw revenue

Public case studies show relative change (“+72% conversions”) rather than absolute spend or revenue numbers. Your competitors don’t need to know your margins.

3

Dashboards stay private

No screenshots of live Google Ads accounts on the open web. Ever. The risk to client confidentiality is too high.

4

Verify under NDA on a discovery call

Want to see the actual numbers behind any case study below? I’ll walk you through the source dashboard live on a call, under mutual NDA. No fluff.

Anonymised case studies

Four UK sectors. Four common starting points. Four sets of results.

Below are anonymised but representative case studies drawn from accounts under my management. Numbers reflect actual outcomes; client names are withheld at their request.

From inherited mess to a forensic, profitable account in 6 months

Took over a 5-year-old Google Ads account spending around £4,200/month. Broad match keywords, no negatives, conversion tracking firing twice on the same form. Lead volume was inconsistent and the owner couldn’t tell which campaigns were profitable.

How I did it
  • Rebuilt account hierarchy by service type with one match type per ad group
  • Reinstalled conversion tracking and added call tracking for phone leads
  • Added 2,400+ negative keywords across the first 6 months
  • Switched from Maximize Conversions to Manual CPC until volume justified bid automation

Splitting a black-box Performance Max into a measurable, multi-clinic system

Multi-location aesthetic clinic spending £6k/month on Performance Max only. No campaign segmentation, no per-clinic attribution, and no idea which locations were profitable. Treatment-specific lead quality varied wildly.

How I did it
  • Split Performance Max into a proper Search and Demand Gen structure
  • Set up per-location and per-treatment conversion tracking
  • Built dedicated landing pages for top 3 revenue-driving treatments
  • Layered audience targeting by treatment intent and clinic catchment
Composite case based on patterns seen across multiple UK private clinics. Numbers reflect typical first-90-day outcomes under my management. Specific clinic data available under NDA.

Doubling valuation enquiries for an independent letting agent

Independent letting agent in the south east, £3k/month spend, last-click attribution, no remarketing in place. Decent click volume but disappointing valuation enquiry numbers and even worse instruction conversion downstream.

How I did it
  • Switched to data-driven attribution and added offline imports from CRM
  • Built valuation-specific landing pages with property-style trust signals
  • Added remarketing audiences for return visitors and abandoned valuation forms
  • Refined geo-targeting to highest-value postcodes only

Plumbing-in offline conversions so the algorithm could finally find real buyers

UK B2B specialist firm spending £8k/month on Search. Plenty of clicks and form fills, very few qualified leads. No offline conversion imports from the CRM, so Google’s bidding had no signal of which leads actually closed.

How I did it
  • Set up offline conversion imports from Pipedrive/Zoho CRM to Google Ads
  • Rebuilt ad copy variants by buyer persona and pain point
  • Created sector-specific landing pages with ROI calculators and case study downloads
  • Implemented LinkedIn audience cross-targeting via Customer Match

What clients say

I only publish testimonials with written permission and only after the client has had time to see real results. More are added as clients sign off.

Named testimonials coming soon

I’m intentionally selective about which testimonials I publish, and I’m currently collecting written sign-off from clients happy to be named. In the meantime, ask on a discovery call — I’ll happily connect you with current clients directly for a reference call.
