Margin after VAT drives the bidding
A 20% VAT line sits between your revenue and your margin. Target returns are set on what you actually keep, which usually means a materially different bid than the platform suggests.
UK paid search is mature, which means most of the easy wins are gone and the difference between a profitable account and an expensive one is structure. We manage Google Ads and Microsoft Ads for UK advertisers with Shopping feeds segmented by margin after VAT, consent-aware conversion tracking, and a brand strategy that does not simply buy back traffic you already had.
How We Work Here
A 20% VAT line sits between your revenue and your margin. Target returns are set on what you actually keep, which usually means a materially different bid than the platform suggests.
Bing holds a meaningful share of UK desktop search, particularly in B2B and older demographics, and the auction is far less crowded. It is run properly, not switched on and ignored.
Enhanced conversions and consent mode configured for UK GDPR, so measurement degrades gracefully rather than collapsing when a visitor declines.
Product groups segmented by what each line actually earns, so budget flows to profitable SKUs instead of whichever product happens to have the cheapest clicks.
Competitors bid on UK brand terms constantly. Brand campaigns are structured to defend position where it is being attacked and stand down where you would have won the click for free.
Asset groups split by product economics and search theme, brand traffic separated out, so PMax results can be read rather than taken on trust.
