Google Ads Management in Stamford
Google Ads are a great way of getting seen on the Google search listings and the associated Google Search Network. Advertisers create ads, choose keywords, set a budget, and target specific audiences to reach potential customers. The Google Ads will generally be displayed at the top of the search results there will generally be the option to click through to the website or call via the contact number displayed on the ad. Each time someone clicks on the ads, Google will charge a certain amount for that click - the amount charged will depend on several factors, including how competitive a keyword is and the quality of the campaign.
It may sound easy but there is a lot of work involved in setting up and managing a successful Google Ads campaign - a poorly optimised campaign will end up costing a lot of money and yielding poor results. It's important to regularly review keywords, ad content, targeted audiences, big strategies and more to get the best out of the campaign.
We have many years of experience setting up and managing successful Google Ads campaigns for businesses in Stamford, including international award-winning makeup artist, Daniel Sandler. We will help ensure you get the very best results for your daily budget. We won't charge the earth to manage the campaign for you and don't tie you into a contract.

Are you looking for someone to maintain your website?
Websites require regular maintainece to ensure they run efficiently and are protected against known security threats. Websites built with platforms such as WordPress need regular updates to plugins and WordPress itself to ensure the site remains stable, secure and fully functional.
If you're a busy business owner or not technically minded you may not want the responsibility of maintaining your website yourself. This is where we can help! We can offer you an annual website maintenance/support contract to look after your site, providing you with peace-of-mind. Not only will we cover the general maintenance of the site but we'll also be on hand should anything go wrong. We'll also take regular back-ups of the site and set-up full protection against known virus's and spam. We can also include an allowance for making regular changes to your site to ensure your website is always up-to-date without eating into your valuable time in making the changes yourself.
Superior Website Build Quality!
"When we launched the website that MK Web built for us we had a site health of 84%. With some post-launch optimisations, we have now managed to get this to 99%.
With some site builds, despite our best efforts for optimisation, it's impossible to get a site score of over 92%. This shows the build quality from your end.
The only site on my list with a higher score (100%!) is our website, Clever Clicks."

Common Questions About Our Web Services
A domain name represents the address used to access a website. It normally starts with 'www' and will be shown in the top browser bar when viewing a website.
A domain name must be registered by a domain name registrar, which is essentially a company that provides domain name registrations and maps these to appropriate hosting services.
Domains are generally registered on a yearly or two-yearly cycle and will typically cost between £20.00 and £35.00 for registration per annum.
In simple terms, website hosting is a type of Internet hosting service that provides the services required to host a website and make this available online.
Website hosting will normally be managed by a specialised website hosting company who will charge a monthly or annual fee in return for the services they provide. As part of the hosting service, email accounts, SSL certificates and support will normally be provided as standard.
A hosting contract will normally be renewed on a yearly basis and written notice to transfer the hosting will need to be given prior to being able to transfer it.
MK Web use a highly reputable company called ICUK as our website hosting provider. This company are based in Croydon and offer a highly reliable and fast hosting service.
It can take many weeks for a new website to start to show on the Google search results. That said, it can take only a matter of days. The truth is, there's no way of really knowing how long Google will take to index a new website as it varies for each site. Their algorithm indexes your site when it decides to index your site.
There are things that can be done to speed up the amount of time it takes, including getting a site visible across the various Google services provided, such as Google Business Profile, Google Analytics and Google Search Console. Acquiring some good quality back-links can also help as can providing high quality content.
As with any business, some web agencies may provide a better service than others and may be able to assist better with large scale projects. However, there's no reason to think that you won't receive a great service from a freelancer or smaller agency. In fact, you will often find that a website freelancer's services will cost less due to having lower overheads. Their reputation and repeat business is often of upmost importance as they don't have the marketing budgets available by the larger agencies so rely on good reviews and building up a good reputation locally.
We can indeed and already have several websites for clients of ours that we maintain. This can provide our clients with complete peace-of-mind as the responsibility to keep the site running effectively and make any updates lies with us.
We can also fix any issues with existing website, such as WordPress errors (including the dreaded critical error screen!).
Unfortunately not! Search engines work using complex algorithms to calculate how well a website should be ranked in relation to the search phrases being used. They will take into account many factors, including content, authority, web core vitals (speed, usability, etc) and back-links. Getting to that elusive top position is extremely hard, particularly if you are targeting more competitive key phrases. The problem is that every other website offering the same products and services as you will also be competing for that top position on Google.
It can take a great deal of time, expertise and patience to optimise a website successfully. The position of a website ranking can also change over time due to changes in Google's algorithms and competitors investing more time and energy into their sites. In this respect, it can be a constant battle to maintain a good ranking.
We don't make fake promises that we can get you to the number one spot in Google. Instead, we carry out the tasks that we know work in terms of getting a website more highly ranked, which should then see the position of a website moving up in the rankings over time. We always stress that this will not happen overnight and it can take several months before any change is visible.

You certainly do - a website will be owned by you once you have paid for it in full. This means you can host the website wherever you choose (within the terms of the hosting contract) and should be provided with a full copy of all the website files and any database, if this is requested.
WordPress is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) that makes it possible to create a highly customised website that can be easily managed by the client. Launched in 2003, it has since grown into the most popular CMS, powering over 40% of all websites on the internet.
