Scale Manchester
About Scale Manchester
Scale Manchester is a digital marketing agency for businesses across Greater Manchester. We plan and run search, paid ads, online shop and social media marketing, and the people who write your plan are the people who do the work.
01
Who We Are
We keep the arrangement simple: you deal with the strategist who writes your plan and the specialists who carry it out, and nobody in between. There is no account manager passing messages along.
Our work covers search engine optimisation, PPC and Google Ads, Shopify and online shop marketing, social media and B2B outreach. Each one is planned around a single number you already care about, such as the cost of a new customer or the profit on an order, and reported against it every week.
We would rather tell you that a channel will not pay for itself than keep running it for a fee. If something is not working, the weekly report says so before you have to ask.
02
How We Work With You
Six habits shape every account, whichever service it is. None of them is unusual on its own; together they are the reason clients stay.
The Plan Comes First
Before you commit, you see a written plan: what we would do, in what order, what it costs and which figure it should move.
One Price Each Month
You pay a set fee for our work. Advertising budgets go straight to Google or Meta, and growing them does not change what you pay us.
Stay for the Results
Nothing ties you in. Monthly work can end at the close of any month, so the only reason to keep going is that it is working.
A Weekly Account of the Work
Every week you get a short note of what moved, what we changed and what comes next, with a live dashboard between reports.
Talk to the People Doing It
A shared Slack channel puts your questions in front of the specialists working on your account, rather than in a support queue.
You Own Everything
Ad accounts, analytics, Search Console and your website stay in your business’s name, with us added as users you can remove.

Where We Work
We work with businesses in all ten boroughs of Greater Manchester: Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford and Wigan. Many of them sell well beyond the city, and their campaigns reach wherever their customers are, from one postcode to the whole of the UK.
Most of our working week with a client happens on calls, in shared documents and on Slack, so you can reach the team without anyone travelling across town for a meeting.
05
Who We Are Right For, and Who We Are Not
We do our best work for owner-run and growing businesses that want a small number of channels run properly. A few kinds of project are better placed elsewhere, and we would rather say so now.
Usually a strong fit
- Businesses that want more enquiries or sales and can say what one is worth
- Owners who want straight answers and a weekly view of the work
- Online shops on Shopify, or ready to move there
- Teams that would rather add specialists than hire for every channel
Usually not the place to start
- Television, radio, print or billboard campaigns
- A brand identity, logo or new website as the whole project
- Anyone who needs guaranteed rankings or results by a date

About Scale Manchester: Frequently Asked Questions
- What does Scale Manchester do?
We plan and run search engine optimisation, PPC and Google Ads, Shopify and online shop marketing, social media and B2B outreach for businesses across Greater Manchester. Each service is priced as a fixed monthly fee and reported on every week.
- Who will work on our account?
The strategist who writes your plan and the specialists who run each part of it. You speak to them directly on Slack and on calls, so nothing is lost in a hand-over.
- Do you only work with Manchester businesses?
No. Most of our clients are in Greater Manchester, but we work with businesses anywhere in the UK, and many of our Manchester clients sell nationally.
- How do we start working with you?
Use the form on our contact page, or email us, with a line or two on what you sell and what is not working. The reply comes with questions first; the plan and its price follow, and you agree to nothing until you have read them.
- Do you tie clients into long contracts?
No. Monthly work carries on only while you want it to, with no three-month or twelve-month term to serve.
