We run targeted Google Ads campaigns that put your business in front of homeowners searching for your services right now. Every enquiry goes to you alone — we never sell the same lead twice.
Every campaign we run comes with full visibility. You see exactly what's being spent, where the leads are coming from, and what you're paying per enquiry — in real time, any time.

Three marketing channels dominate the conversation for local trades. Only one of them puts you in front of people actively looking to hire you right now.
Someone Googling "emergency plumber Bournemouth" has a problem right now and is ready to pay to solve it. Someone scrolling Facebook is watching dog videos. Search intent is why Google Ads consistently outperforms every other channel for local trades.
We specialise in sectors where a single job pays for months of our service. High job value, high intent searches, and clients serious about growth.
Repairs, replacements, flat roofing, guttering. Urgent high-value jobs with strong intent searches year-round.
Damp surveys, tanking, rising damp treatment. Homeowners searching with urgency — they need help fast.
Consumer unit upgrades, rewires, EV charger installs, fault finding. High-value, urgent, year-round demand.
Emergency repairs, bathroom installs, leak detection. Some of the highest intent searches of any trade online.
Boiler installs, servicing, breakdowns, central heating. Seasonal peaks drive enormous search volumes.
Solar panels and battery storage. Demand has surged as energy costs stay high and homeowners act.
Full bathroom renovations, wet rooms, ensuites. Homeowners searching with clear intent and real budgets.
One business per trade per town. Check availability in yours — free, no commitment, and we'll tell you the search volume we can see right now.
Most lead companies sell the same enquiry to multiple businesses. We built the opposite model from day one.
One business per trade per area. When you sign up for a town, your local competitors don't get a look in. Every lead generated belongs to you.
Unlike SEO which takes months, Google Ads go live fast. Most clients receive their first enquiry within the first week of launch.
Monthly reports show exactly where every penny goes — clicks, leads, cost per lead. No hiding behind vague metrics.
Every enquiry arrives by SMS and email the moment it's submitted. You're first to know, every time.
Based in Bournemouth, we know the South of England inside out. We're not a faceless national agency — we're your local partner who picks up the phone.
What separates exclusive leads from the shared model most companies use.
Every campaign is built to deliver a return many times over. Here is what businesses in each sector typically see.

Pick your trade, town size, and rough Google ad budget. We'll show you a realistic estimate based on UK industry data — not made-up numbers.
Estimates based on average UK Google Ads CPC and conversion data for each trade. Actual results vary by season, local competition, ad quality, and how quickly you respond to enquiries. Book a free call for a real area-specific projection.
You pay us a flat management fee. Your Google Ads spend is paid directly to Google on your own card — we never touch it, and there's no markup. You see exactly where every pound goes.
Roofers, damp, electricians, plumbers, gas engineers
Solar installers, bathroom fitters, higher-value trades
Established trades covering 2 – 3 towns
All packages include area exclusivity. We work with one business per trade per area — no exceptions. Lead volumes are estimates based on typical search data for your trade and area; actual numbers vary by season, competition, and campaign maturity.
Based in Bournemouth, we cover the full South of England — from Bristol in the west to Tunbridge Wells in the east, and everywhere in between.
Each town operates as an independent exclusive zone. Signing up in Southampton doesn't affect Bournemouth, and vice versa. Each area is managed, priced, and reported on separately.
Don't see your town listed? Get in touch — if you're anywhere in the South of England we almost certainly cover your area.
The real concerns we hear on every discovery call, answered straight. No sales spin.
Campaigns typically go live within 48 hours of signup. Most clients receive their first enquiry within the first 7 days — often faster for urgent-service trades like emergency plumbers or roofers where searches happen daily. Lead volume then builds over the first 2–4 weeks as we optimise.
No — and that's a deliberate choice. We charge a transparent management fee, and your Google Ads spend is paid directly to Google on your own card. That means every penny of your budget goes on clicks, you see exactly where it's spent, and there's no hidden markup between us and Google.
Most agencies bundle spend and fee together so you can't tell how much of your money actually reaches advertising. We think that's the wrong way round.
We only work with one business per trade per area. If your specific town and trade combination is already taken by another client, we'll tell you immediately on the first call — no sales pitch, no trying to squeeze you in somewhere. We may be able to offer a neighbouring town instead, or add you to the waiting list if the current client ever stops.
No long contracts. We work on a monthly rolling basis — if it's not working for you, you give 30 days notice and we part ways. Our view: if we're not generating leads that make you money, you shouldn't be forced to keep paying us. We'd rather earn your business every month than lock you in.
The Google Ads account is yours — set up in your name from day one. If you stop working with us, you keep the account and can pause it, run it yourself, or hand it to another agency. The landing page we build is a separate asset; we retain that since it's built on our systems, but all the lead history and campaign data stays with you.
We focus exclusively on Google Search Ads for local trades because it's what consistently works for this market — people actively searching to hire. We don't do SEO (it's a long-term game that needs a specialist), Performance Max (we've seen it waste budget for tradespeople), or Facebook Ads (low intent for most trades).
If you need those services, we can recommend people who specialise. We'd rather do one thing well than five things poorly.
Those platforms sell the same enquiry to 3–5 tradespeople at once. You compete on price against local rivals and often lose to the cheapest quote — whether or not you're actually the best fit. You're also fighting to get the enquiry first, within minutes.
Our leads come directly to you. No other tradesman has the same enquiry. You quote on your own terms, at your own price, against no one. Fundamentally different model.
Honest answer: it depends on your trade, your area, and how fast you respond to enquiries. Typical cost per lead for South Coast trades ranges from £15 to £50, with conversion rates of 20–40% from lead to booked job. On a £400/month ad spend for emergency roofing in Bournemouth, that might look like 15–20 leads and 4–7 booked jobs.
Anyone promising exact numbers before looking at your specific trade and area is guessing. We'll run the actual search data for you on the discovery call.
Hi, I'm Ryan. I've spent years in sales — and a good chunk of that watching local tradespeople (and plenty of my own businesses) get ripped off by shared lead platforms. Pay £30 a lead, fight four competitors for it, half the time it's a tyre-kicker. The maths never added up.
South Coast Leads is what I wished existed: one business per trade per area, transparent Google Ads spend, leads that come directly to you and nobody else. No shared pool. No bidding wars. No resellers taking a cut.
If you're a tradesman on the South Coast and you've been burned by lead platforms before — I get it. Book a call and I'll walk you through the numbers honestly. No pressure, no sales script.
Fill in the short form and we will be in touch within a few hours to discuss your trade, your area, and whether we have availability. If we do, we can have your campaign live within 48 hours.
