PPC Proposal: A Practical Guide

It's time to take [custom.clientCompany] to the top of the industry.
A modern paid search proposal built to generate qualified leads, uncover the right keywords, and make every pound of ad spend accountable.

Introduction

A practical route to more qualified enquiries
This proposal is designed for decision-makers who want more than traffic alone. The goal is to build a PPC engine that attracts high-intent searches, converts them into qualified leads, and shows exactly how performance contributes to revenue.
Our focus is simple: identify the keywords your ideal buyers are already using, align campaigns to commercially valuable intent, and create a reporting model that makes ROI visible from the first phase of launch through ongoing optimisation.
Primary objective
Drive consistent lead acquisition from people actively searching for the services you provide.
Commercial focus
Build campaigns around conversion value, not vanity metrics or broad-click volume.
Delivery style
Clear strategy, transparent numbers, and fast implementation with pre-launch review.
Executive summary
The strategy begins with discovering where demand already exists in search. From there, we organise campaigns around the terms most likely to produce qualified enquiries, define acceptable Cost per Click and Cost per Acquisition targets, and launch ads supported by conversion-ready landing experiences.
  • Target commercially relevant keywords before competitors do
  • Filter for high-intent leads rather than low-quality traffic
  • Create transparent ROI visibility using lead volume, conversion rate, and transaction value
  • Optimise daily and report monthly with clear snapshots of progress

The 4-Step PPC Process & Timescale

Timescale: ~10 days to get first ads live
The launch process is built to move quickly without sacrificing strategic quality. Each phase has a clear output, a client review point where needed, and a direct role in getting campaigns live on a strong foundation.
Step 1: Audit
Keyword research, target demographics, a deep-dive into the website, and a Google Sheets keyword list for approval before build begins.
Step 2: Defining Goals
Align on Cost per Click, Cost per Acquisition, conversion priorities, and whether custom landing pages are needed for stronger results.
Step 3: Starting Your Ads
Launch search-led campaigns with compelling copy, extensions, visual assets where relevant, and a final client pre-launch review.
Step 4: Management & Optimization
Tune campaigns daily and monthly using negative keywords, Quality Score improvements, budget shifts, and snapshot reporting.
What happens in the first 10 days
  1. Approve the keyword direction and market priorities
  2. Set lead targets and commercial benchmarks
  3. Build campaigns, ads, and tracking structure
  4. Review, launch, and begin optimisation

Proven Client Case Study

More Enquiries Than I Could Handle
Jane's Wedding Planning
Jane launched a new wedding planning business with a polished website but no meaningful traffic and no dependable way of generating new clients. The challenge was not service quality — it was visibility at the exact moment potential customers were searching for help.
The proposed solution combined targeted Google Search ads around high-intent wedding planning terms with a free downloadable wedding checklist. This lead magnet gave search visitors a useful first step and created a softer path into enquiry for people not yet ready to book immediately.
Background
New business. Website live. Zero traffic. Zero clients.
Solution
Industry-term search ads plus a free downloadable wedding checklist.
Momentum
Search demand captured early, with lead quality improving as data accumulated.
Week 1
3 qualified leads generated from highly targeted search traffic.
Week 3
Early campaign data sharpened keywords, ads, and landing-page intent.
Week 8
Performance climbed to roughly 8 to 17 enquiries each week.
I started my business with no idea how to get customers... Templates-LIVE guided me to having almost more enquiries than I could handle. — Jane Doe, Managing Director
The lesson is practical: when paid search is tied to strong keyword intent and a simple conversion pathway, even a new business can move from invisible to consistently in-demand.

Your Investment & The Real Cost

The investment model is intentionally simple: one fee to establish the strategic foundation, and one monthly fee to manage and improve campaign performance over time.
Pricing
PPC Audit
£2,000 one-off. Includes keyword discovery, competitor research, and website audit.
Management Fee
£1,800/month for ongoing Google Ad campaign management and optimisation.
What the spend needs to prove
  • That lead volume can be generated at an acceptable cost
  • That conversion quality supports profitable customer acquisition
  • That campaign management creates a commercial return greater than the monthly fee
The most important number is not click volume. It is whether lead generation turns into profitable new business after cost of service and ad management are accounted for.
80 leads/month
At approximately £22 per lead, the campaign produces a predictable enquiry flow rather than sporadic opportunities.
12 new customers/month
A realistic conversion path turns those leads into around 12 new customers each month.
£1,000 average transaction value
Each new customer represents meaningful revenue, not low-value volume.
30% profit margin
At roughly £184 profit per job, the outcome reaches about £2,208 net profit per month on an £800–£1,800 spend.
That is the difference between looking at PPC as a marketing expense and treating it as a controlled acquisition channel. When the maths is visible, optimisation becomes a business decision rather than a leap of faith.

Risk-Free Performance Guarantee

If we don't get you an average of 7 new leads each week over any given month, then you won't pay the following month's management fee.
Why this guarantee matters
Most proposals ask for commitment before they remove risk. This one does the opposite. The guarantee aligns our incentive with yours: consistent lead generation, measured over time, with a clear performance threshold.
Clear benchmark
An average of 7 new leads each week over a given month.
Commercial protection
Miss the benchmark and the following month's management fee is waived.
Shared accountability
Strong campaigns, fast feedback, and active optimisation remain central to results.
Guarantees only work when reporting is transparent. That is why campaign snapshots, keyword control, negative keyword management, and conversion tracking remain essential throughout management.

Next Steps & Digital Sign-off

Step 1: Sign below
Confirm acceptance so setup can begin without delay.
Step 2: Kickoff call
Align on goals, priorities, tracking, and immediate launch actions.
Step 3: Billing setup
