Why Choose Our Manchester Marketing Company?
Strategy Before You Sign
We study your market, your prices and your competitors first, then show you the plan we would run. You decide after you have seen it.
No Minimum Term
We work month to month. There is no three-month commitment and no six-month one either.
A Founder on Every Account
One of our founders works on your account alongside the team, from the first call to every weekly report, so decisions never wait on a manager.
On Slack, Like a Colleague
We share a Slack channel with your team, so a question is answered by the person doing the work, not by a support desk.
A Report Every Week
A short weekly note on what we did, what it produced and what changes next, plus a live dashboard you can open any time.
Packages From £2,400 a Month
Trying a new agency should not feel like a gamble. Prices start at £2,400 a month and rise in clear steps as you add channels, so nothing jumps without warning.

Digital Marketing Services in Manchester, Planned Around Sales
Our marketing services in Manchester cover search, paid ads, social media, content and outreach, and every one is measured against enquiries and sales rather than clicks and likes.
You do not need to be in the city centre to work with us. As an online marketing agency, we take on businesses anywhere in Greater Manchester, from Salford and Trafford to Stockport, Bolton and Oldham.
How your plan is built
We read your market first
What works depends on what you sell, what it costs and who you are up against. A dental practice in Didsbury and a software firm in Spinningfields need very different plans, so we start with your market: who buys from you, what you charge, which competitors appear when people search and where they advertise.
You see the plan and the price
Then we put the plan in front of you: the channels we would use, what each one should do for you, what it costs and what we would leave alone. Nothing starts until you have agreed to it.
Then we launch and measure
Once you say yes, we set up the tracking, launch the work and report on it every week, moving the budget towards whatever is bringing in customers.
PPC and Google Ads
We build Google Ads campaigns around the searches that turn into customers, cut the ones that only spend, and check every conversion is tracked before we ask you to raise a budget.
Paid Social
Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn ads, with the creative, the audiences and the testing handled for you. Every test runs long enough to tell a real winner from a lucky week.
Social Media
A month of posts planned ahead, written, designed and scheduled for when your own followers are online. You approve every post before it goes out.
Ecommerce and Shopify
For online shops we work on the whole route to a sale: product pages, Shopping ads, email flows and the checkout itself. We work on Shopify and most other shop platforms.
Outreach and Lead Generation
For B2B firms we build lists of the right people, write the messages and run email and LinkedIn outreach, so your sales team spends its time in conversations rather than searching for them.

Every Channel From One Manchester Digital Agency
Local business. A dentist, a garage, a restaurant: people nearby are already searching for you.
Ecommerce. An online shop: paid demand does the lifting and a fast store turns it into orders.
SaaS. Software on a subscription: buyers research first, so content and outreach share it.
Manufacturer. A firm selling to other firms in volume: the order follows a conversation.
B2B services. A consultancy or agency: most of the work is reaching the right decision makers.

An illustration of where the work might go, not a set package. Your own split depends on what you sell, your margins and where your buyers already look; we agree it with you before we start and review it every month.

What Working With Our Manchester Marketing Agency Looks Like
Every business we take on starts with a written strategy, before anything is signed. We look at your customers, your competitors and your prices, and build the plan most likely to bring you work.
On our second call we walk you through it, agree what comes first and set the targets we will report against.
Week 1: Tracking and Accounts
The first week goes on the groundwork. Depending on the plan, that means setting up or checking Google Analytics, Tag Manager and Search Console, auditing or opening your ad accounts, and preparing the first ads, posts and pages.
From Week 2: The First Campaigns Go Live
Usually from the second week, the first work goes out: Google or Meta campaigns, the first SEO pages, social posts, email or outreach.
Some businesses start with one channel; others run several at once. If you are starting from nothing, the first new traffic normally arrives in weeks two and three.
Every Week After: Test, Learn and Adjust
Once things are running, we keep changing them: bids and budgets, audiences and ads, landing pages, keywords and outreach messages. Money moves towards whatever is working.
The first plan is where we start, not a script we stick to.
Weekly Reports and a Live Dashboard
Once a week a short report arrives: the work done, the results it brought and the changes planned for the week ahead.
Between reports, a live dashboard shows your traffic, leads, conversions, cost per lead and ad spend whenever you want to look.
Part of Your Team, Not a Supplier
You talk to us on Slack like anyone else in your business, and one of our founders co-manages your account throughout.
We do not simply “do the SEO” or “do the ads”. We take on the marketing problem behind them: the plan, the work, the results and what to try next.

Marketing Agencies in Manchester: Frequently Asked Questions
- How much does a marketing agency in Manchester cost?
One channel costs £2,400 a month with us, and a full plan across several channels is £3,000 a month. Larger programmes are priced on request.
Digital marketing agencies in Manchester charge in different ways: a fixed monthly retainer, a fee per project, or a percentage of your ad spend. We charge a fixed monthly fee, so you know the cost before you start.
- Is advertising spend included in your fee?
No. What you spend on Google, Meta or LinkedIn is paid to them directly. Our fee is fixed and does not rise as a percentage of your budget, so if a campaign works and you put more money behind it, you do not automatically pay us more.
- How quickly will we see results?
It depends on the channel. Paid ads can bring enquiries in the first week or two. SEO and content usually take a few months to build, although a site with obvious problems can move sooner once they are fixed.
- Do we own our ad accounts, analytics and data?
Yes. Wherever we can, accounts are set up in your business’s name and stay yours. If we stop working together, anything we manage is handed back to you in full and our access is removed.
- Can you work with our in-house marketing or sales team?
Yes, and that is often the best set-up. We take on the work your team does not have the time or the specialist skills for, and keep them in the loop on Slack. The aim is to add to your team, not replace it.
- What kinds of businesses do you work with in Manchester?
Small and medium-sized firms in most sectors: B2B and software companies, professional services, ecommerce shops, local service businesses, property, hospitality and healthcare. What we recommend depends on how your customers buy and what a sale is worth to you.
- How should we compare digital agencies in Manchester?
Ask each one the same four questions: what exactly they would do in the first month, what it costs and whether the fee grows with your ad spend, who owns the accounts, and how you will know it is working. The answers tell you more than any portfolio.
Ours: a written plan before you sign, a fixed monthly fee, every account in your name, and a short report every week.
- Are you a full-service agency or a specialist?
Both, in practice. We work as a full-service digital agency in Manchester, covering search, paid ads, social media, content, ecommerce and outreach. If you are looking for a performance marketing agency or a growth agency, the test is the same: we judge every channel by the enquiries and sales it brings, and only recommend the ones that suit your business. If one channel is all you need, we will say so.
