Real Google Ads results, shown in full

These figures come from Google Ads accounts we've run for heat pump installers: a different sector, but the same job of getting local customers to find a business on Google and pick up the phone. Accounts are anonymised, and every figure shows where it came from and the dates it covers.

The whole book, not the best accounts

Individual results below are easy to pick for being good. An average across every account we run is harder to cherry-pick, so here it is first.

Largest single contract from one enquiry

Source: client-reported. Booked work comes from the client's order book, not Google Ads, so we can't verify it from inside the account. The £80K contract was a one-off, not a monthly figure.

What every monthly report includes

No vanity metrics, no "impressions" dressed up as results, no cherry-picked best week. If a month underperforms, it shows up in the report too.

Nobody can promise you the same numbers, and you should be wary of anyone who does. Every agency's area, budget and competition is different.
