How it works

From audit to results. Here's how you take control of your ad spend.

No more handing your budget to Google's AI and hoping for the best. No more guessing whether your agency is doing enough. No more wasting budget on campaigns you don't have time to manage. Ad Optima gives you the technology of a software company and the expertise of an agency - with full visibility into everything.


Four phases from sign-up to seeing exactly where your money goes

1

Phase 1 · Week 1

We audit everything

Before we change a single bid, we show you exactly where your money is going - and where it's being wasted. Whether you've been running ads yourself or paying an agency, we find the leaks.

  • Campaign structure, keyword health, and wasted spend analysis
  • Ad copy quality and relevance scoring
  • Landing page speed, mobile UX, message match, and trust signals
  • Conversion tracking and attribution audit
  • Quality Score breakdown across all three factors
Deliverable: plain-English audit report with prioritised actions
2

Phase 2 · Weeks 1-2

Setup & strategy

We restructure what needs fixing and build a plan for what comes next. No generic playbooks, no agency hand-waving - your strategy is built around your account, your goals, and your market.

  • Campaign restructuring and keyword regrouping
  • Negative keyword lists built from search term data
  • Landing pages built and improved by agents - up to 3 on Essentials, unlimited on Growth, included on Enterprise
  • CPA and ROAS target alignment
  • Conversion tracking setup or fixes
Deliverable: strategy document and restructured campaigns

Phase 3 · Ongoing

AI optimises, we consult

This is where the daily work happens - and where you see the difference from an agency. Our AI manages your campaigns around the clock. You see every change in your dashboard. No waiting for a monthly report to find out what happened.

  • Bid adjustments and budget reallocation based on real-time performance
  • Keyword expansion and negative mining
  • Ad copy A/B testing and refresh cycles
  • Landing page A/B tests and CRO iterations
  • Page speed and mobile UX improvements
  • All three Quality Score factors monitored and improved in tandem
Deliverable: daily optimisations + ongoing LP improvements

Phase 4 · The flywheel

Compounding results

This is why you switched from your agency or stopped trying to do it yourself. Better campaigns and better landing pages mean lower costs, more traffic, and more customers - and you can see every penny working.

  • Lower cost-per-click from improved Quality Score
  • More traffic from freed-up budget
  • Higher conversion rates from optimised, brand-aware landing pages
  • Better ROI that compounds month over month
Result: ongoing iteration, not a one-time fix

What your agency does once a month, our AI does every day

Thousands of micro-decisions, made around the clock, based on real performance data. Not a junior account manager checking in once a week.

Bid & budget management

Real-time bid adjustments based on device, location, time of day, and conversion probability. Budget shifts to the campaigns delivering the best returns.

Keyword expansion

New opportunities surfaced from search term reports, competitor analysis, and query matching. Your keyword set grows smarter, not just bigger.

Negative mining

Irrelevant search terms identified and blocked daily so your budget doesn't leak to clicks that will never convert.

Ad copy testing

Headlines and descriptions generated, tested, and rotated. Winning variants promoted, underperformers retired. Continuous creative improvement.

Campaign structure

Tightly themed ad groups with precise keyword-to-ad alignment. Restructured for relevance, not just convenience.

Multi-platform

Google Ads and Microsoft Ads on every paid plan. Additional platforms and bespoke integrations on Enterprise. One system managing your presence across the platforms that matter.


Upload your site once. We generate the landing pages.

At Essentials, you don’t walk a wizard. You upload your homepage HTML once during onboarding. We extract your design tokens (palette, typography, button styles, voice samples) and the agentic engine generates landing pages that match your existing site. Up to 3 pages on weekly cycles. Every page reviewed by an Operator before it goes live. £500 one-time per page, no monthly hike.

Autonomous generation

The system determines what your account needs. You review the output, not the input.

  • HTML upload via per-CMS export instructions (Squarespace, WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, Wix, Ghost)
  • Design tokens extracted - palette, typography, button styles, voice samples
  • Pages match your existing site’s design
  • System recommends the requisite number of pages for your account, capped at 3
  • Weekly optimisation cycles

Operator-reviewed before publish

No page goes live without a human green-light. The agentic engine generates; an Operator approves.

  • Every draft reviewed against the rubric before publish
  • Voice and brand fidelity checked against your extracted tokens
  • Edits via support if anything looks off post-publish
  • If the system would recommend more than 3 pages, Growth is the right fit

The lever nobody else touches

Your landing page is one-third of your Quality Score. We build, test, and improve it.

Page speed optimisation

Slow pages kill conversions and Quality Score. We optimise load times, compress assets, and eliminate render-blocking resources for sub-second performance.

Mobile-first design

Most paid traffic is mobile. We design for thumb-friendly navigation, readable text, fast-loading images, and forms that don't frustrate.

Message match

When someone clicks an ad about "affordable business insurance," they should land on a page about affordable business insurance - not your homepage. We align ad copy to page content.

Trust signals

Reviews, testimonials, security badges, case studies, and social proof placed where they reduce buying friction and build confidence at the decision point.

CRO & A/B testing

Headlines, CTAs, form layouts, hero images - we test variations and let the data decide. Conversion rate optimisation is continuous, not a one-off project.

Form optimisation

Fewer fields, smarter layouts, progress indicators, and autofill-friendly markup. We remove every unnecessary step between click and conversion.

The result: a landing page that lowers what you pay

Google's Quality Score is calculated from ad relevance, expected CTR, and landing page experience. A faster, clearer, better-converting page raises the third factor - which directly reduces your cost-per-click and improves your ad rank. Every other tool ignores this. We build it.


A new site, built around your brand. Hosted by us.

At Enterprise, we don’t replicate your existing site - we build you a new one. A designer supplies the visual direction (1-2 page concepts and design tokens specific to your brand) and we compose the full site against those tokens. We host the site, run the CMS, and operate the ads. Boutique-service positioning - your brand at the wheel, our chassis underneath.

What the designer delivers

Per-quote engagement. Line-itemed so you see what you’re paying for.

  • 1-2 page concepts specific to your brand
  • Design tokens - palette, typography, button styles, spacing, shapes
  • Designer consultations for direction and revisions
  • All deliverables yours forever on cancel

What we build and host

The full site composed against the designer tokens, on our stack.

  • The full site composed against the designer’s tokens
  • SEO markup, schema, Core Web Vitals, accessibility, enhanced tracking
  • CMS integrated, hosted, and run by us
  • Designed for the agentic engine to ship fixes directly to the source

Designer concepts approved before composition

Before we compose the full site, you sign off on the designer’s concepts and tokens. No surprises at launch. Designer consultations are line-itemed across the engagement so you always know what you’re paying for.


Self-driving by default. Hands-on when you want to be.

Ad Optima is built for business owners who want their marketing handled, not managed. At every decision point, the agentic engine recommends the best option and, per the approval grid you set once at onboarding, either ships it automatically or queues it for your sign-off. You don’t have to write a line of strategy or touch an interface unless you want to.

Self-driving

What most customers choose. After onboarding, you do nothing except read the weekly briefing.

  • Approval grid set once at onboarding
  • Agents recommend and execute at every decision point
  • Weekly natural-language briefing in your inbox
  • Five-minute ledger review if you want the detail
  • Nothing to learn, nothing to maintain

Hands-on

For when you want to direct a specific change. Type what you want, the agentic engine ships it.

  • Type what you want in plain English
  • Interpretation layer understands and checks your policy
  • Implementation produces the change on a staging branch
  • Validation runs tests, flags anything risky
  • You approve the diff, it ships

The editor is a power tool, not a chore

Most Enterprise customers never use it, and that’s fine - the agentic engine is already doing the work. When you do want to direct something specific, a headline rewrite, a section add, a copy tweak, the language you already speak is the interface. 50 edits per month fair use; revisited once we have real usage data.


No more mystery. No more monthly PDFs.

Your dashboard shows every change, every result, and every penny - in real time. At the centre of it is the optimisation ledger: a living record of every fix the agentic engine has proposed, applied, or parked. It compounds month over month - last month’s wins feed into this month’s baseline - and replaces the stale monthly PDF every agency hands you. Five minutes a week is all it takes to see what’s shipped, what’s queued, and what it’s worth.

Illustrative dashboard - your view updates in real time with live campaign and landing page data.


Your marketing. Your decisions. Your data.

Unlike an agency, you're never left wondering what's happening. You set the goals, approve the direction, and see every result. This is what taking marketing into your own hands actually looks like.

Goals

Set your targets

Define CPA, ROAS, or lead volume targets. Our AI optimises toward your goals, not generic benchmarks. Adjust any time as priorities change.

Approval

Approve or reject changes

Major campaign restructures, new landing page designs, and budget shifts are presented for your sign-off before going live. Nothing unexpected.

Context

Share business context

Launching a new product? Running a seasonal promotion? Flag it in your dashboard and we adjust campaigns and landing pages to match.

Priorities

Flag what matters

Mark campaigns as high-priority, pause underperformers, or request budget shifts. Your input shapes what the AI focuses on next.

Landing pages

Request page updates

Need a new offer on the page? Different testimonials? Updated pricing? Request changes through the dashboard and we build them.

Reporting

Review & comment

Performance reports arrive in plain English. Leave comments, ask questions, flag concerns - and get a response from a real person, not a chatbot.
