The short answer
We manage Google Ads for Kettering businesses, building tightly targeted search campaigns that reach customers across the town and its surrounding villages at the moment they are looking to buy. Campaigns are measured on cost per lead rather than clicks or impressions. Most accounts start generating enquiries within the first few weeks of launch.
Kettering's service economy, from trades and healthcare to professional services and retail, is built on a catchment that extends well beyond the town into the surrounding villages. Getting the radius right matters enormously here: too tight and you miss genuine customers in the villages, too broad and you pay for clicks from Northampton or Corby that will never convert. We set geography deliberately around your actual service area and the Midland Main Line commuter belt that shapes local buying patterns.
In local Google Ads, tight geographic targeting beats broad reach every time. Paying for clicks from outside your service area is the most common waste we find in Kettering accounts, and it is entirely avoidable.
