Google Ads Management Agency
DigitalCave manages Google Ads for UK businesses from Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter: Search, Performance Max, Shopping and YouTube campaigns built around what Google rewards, not what its smart bidding defaults assume. Conversion tracking comes first, the account stays in your name, fees are flat rather than a percentage of spend, and there is no lock-in.
Google's defaults aren't built for you.
Smart Campaigns and auto-applied recommendations are designed to spend, not to win. Most accounts we inherit have broad-match keywords haemorrhaging budget and PMax campaigns cannibalising their own brand traffic.
We rebuild around margin and intent, and you keep every pound we save.
PMax is a black box. We pry it open.
Performance Max can be brilliant or brutal, usually depending on what you feed it. We structure asset groups by margin tier, exclude brand traffic properly, and use search-term scripts to surface what Google would rather hide.
Match-type discipline
Broad match without negatives is a budget vacuum. We rebuild keyword lists with exact and phrase as the foundation and broad only where the data supports it.
Feed-first Shopping
On Shopping and PMax, your product feed is the campaign. We rewrite titles, fix GTINs, repair categories and run feed-rule logic that lifts impression share without touching bids.
Conversion quality
A "conversion" that's actually a contact-form bot doesn't pay the bills. We tier conversions by quality and feed value back to Google so it bids on customers, not clicks.

Questions, answered.
Are you a Google Premier Partner?
No. We would rather be judged on results: conversion tracking set up first, the account kept in your name, and reporting on cost per enquiry.Is Google Ads the same as Google AdWords?
Yes. Google renamed AdWords to Google Ads in 2018. The platform has added Performance Max, more automation and new campaign types since, but if you are looking for AdWords management, Google Ads management is the same service. Our guide to Google AdWords management in Birmingham sets out what to check before you hire anyone.Will I keep my Google Ads account?
Always. We work in your MCC under your billing. Leave any time and everything stays.Can you fix a Smart Campaigns account?
Almost always. We migrate from Smart to full Search/PMax in week one of every engagement.Should we use Performance Max?
Sometimes. Performance Max works well for ecommerce with a clean product feed and enough conversion data. For lead generation on a small budget, a tightly built Search campaign is usually the safer start. We test it against Search rather than switching everything at once, and exclude brand terms so it does not take credit for sales you would have had anyway.Do you manage Google Ads accounts outside Birmingham?
Yes. We are based in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter and manage Google Ads for businesses anywhere in the UK, working online with shared reporting. Location targeting is set to where your customers are.How fast can you start?
