No lock-in contracts • Your ad account stays yours • UK working hours

Control Shift is a Dubai-based agency managing Google Ads for businesses in Brighton and across England — with GBP pricing, communication scheduled around UK working hours, and reporting you can check. Your ad account stays in your name and ad spend is paid directly to the platform.
Local search intent
Brighton is the hardest small-city search market in England, because so much of its economy is digital. Local competitors understand SEO, their sites are fast and their content is good, so the easy wins that work elsewhere simply are not available. What does still work is specificity: neighbourhood-level local content, deep product and category work for the city's substantial ecommerce base, and seasonal planning around a visitor economy most businesses react to rather than anticipate.
We translate that market picture into campaign structure: which searches deserve budget, which need excluding, and what a landing page has to say before a Brighton visitor is willing to act.
Hove holds a distinct local pack and a noticeably different customer profile from central Brighton — one page for both consistently underperforms.
Google Ads & PPC Management
Target the service, product and problem-aware searches Brighton customers actually type.
Measure calls, forms, sales and booked consultations — not clicks and impressions.
Use search-term and performance data to cut irrelevant spend and fund what converts.
Align targeting with Brighton and the wider areas your team can genuinely serve.
How we work
We review the existing account, wasted spend and search terms, then fix conversion tracking so every call, form and sale is measured before any budget changes.
Campaigns, ad groups and ad copy are structured around your actual services and service area rather than a single catch-all campaign.
We connect each campaign to a page that answers the search and makes the next step obvious, instead of dropping paid traffic on a homepage.
Search-term reviews, negative keywords, bid and budget shifts every week, with reporting that shows cost per qualified lead.
Industry-aware campaigns
The same budget, audience and landing page do not work for every business. We plan the account around what a qualified enquiry means for your team and the questions customers need answered before they convert.
Problem-aware and solution-aware keywords separated from careers and support traffic, with demo requests from Brighton tracked as the real conversion.
Shopping and Performance Max campaigns driven by a clean product feed, with product-level ROAS on Brighton demand instead of one blended account number.
Treatment and appointment searches captured with compliant ad copy and call tracking, so Brighton enquiries are measured rather than assumed.

Yes. We manage Google Ads for businesses serving Brighton, South East England and the wider England market. Campaign structure, targeting and reporting are built around your offer, your service area and the conversion actions that matter to your team — not a template applied to every account.
Targeting follows the areas you genuinely serve. Around Brighton that typically includes The Lanes, Hove, Kemptown, Preston Park and Brighton Marina, plus the surrounding districts. We start with the area you can service profitably, then use performance data to decide where it is worth widening.
We work across most commercial sectors. In Brighton the recurring ones are Digital & Creative, Ecommerce & Retail and Hospitality & Tourism. What matters more than the sector is whether a qualified enquiry is clearly defined and whether it can be tracked — without that, no amount of optimisation is meaningful.
Search-term reviews, negative-keyword lists, match-type discipline, location and schedule controls, and landing pages that match the ad. Most accounts we audit are losing a meaningful share of budget to searches the business could never serve — that is usually the first thing we fix.
Management is quoted in GBP after a free audit, based on account size, number of campaigns and how much build work is needed upfront. Ad spend is separate and paid directly to Google. There is no lock-in contract and your ad account stays in your name.
Yes, and they work better together. Paid campaigns produce fast demand and query data; SEO compounds. We use what converts in Brighton paid campaigns to prioritise organic pages, and organic performance to decide where paid budget is no longer needed.
