helping small firms
Hi, we're AdBeacon
We started AdBeacon because small businesses kept telling us the same thing: big agencies ignored them, and Google felt impossible to understand. So we built a friendlier kind of help - clear, honest, and on your side.
You get a real person who learns your business, answers the phone, and explains everything in plain English. No jargon, no pressure, no being treated like a number.

Questions? We've got you
I'm a small business - is Google Ads even worth it?
For most local and small businesses, yes. The trick is spending a sensible amount on the right searches, not blowing a budget on clicks that never call. We'll tell you honestly on a free chat whether it's a good fit for you - and if it isn't, we'll say so.
How much does it cost?
Two parts: the budget you set for Google (you choose this and can start small), and our fee for managing it. Our management fee is a simple monthly amount scoped to your size - we'll give you the number on the call, with no long lock-in.
Do you only work with Brighton businesses?
We're based in Brighton and love working with local firms, but we help small businesses across the UK. Wherever you are, you get a real person who knows your account.
I don't understand any of this tech stuff. Is that ok?
Completely. That's the whole point of us. You don't need to understand Google Ads - that's our job. We handle the technical side and explain the results in plain English.
How quickly will I see results?
Ads can go live within a week, and many clients see enquiries in the first month. We're honest that the first few weeks are about gathering data and tuning - real results build from there.
