“Digital Gearbox came in and took over our PPC accounts from a ‘reputable large agency’ who had taken their eye off the ball. They analysed our setup, discussed options and stripped away a large swathe of under-performing keywords and campaigns. They restructured the account and breathed new life into our activities, resulting in a notable improvement in performance across the board.

Since then, their team have always been on the ball and in constant contact – available at short notice, more often than anyone should expect.

Their service and attention to detail is second to none. With Digital Gearbox at the helm and us defining the campaign strategy, it’s proving to be a perfect PPC partnership.”
