EQUALLY IMPORTANT
We are probably not the right fit if...
You need results in 30 days. Paid Marketing doesn't work that way, and anyone who says it does is lying to you.
You want to own the strategy internally and outsource only execution. We work as strategic partners, not vendors.
Your budget is under $2,000/month. We can't do our best work at that level.
The brands we work best with are past the “let’s try Paid Marketing” phase. They know it works. They want it done properly.
Manchester retail & consumer goods is a different game.
We’ve run Paid Marketing here. We know what it takes.
Manchester retail brands average 1.9× Google Shopping ROAS — top performers hit 5.5× with the same budget
Manchester's retail market is home to 75,000+ businesses competing for consumer wallet share. Most retail advertisers in Manchester are running Google Shopping with unoptimised product feeds, missing merchant promotions, and no negative-keyword lists — resulting in ROAS of 1.4–2.1× when the market benchmark for optimised accounts is 4.0×+. The Manchester retail brands outperforming are those combining Shopping Ads with dynamic retargeting on Meta and YouTube, capturing the 70% of shoppers who research before buying. Local Manchester consumer trends in media, tech, retail sectors further drive demand for precision-targeted campaigns that speak to specific buyer intent at each funnel stage.

You shouldn’t have to wonder what your agency is doing with your money.
Every Friday, you get a Loom from your strategist. Not a report — a walkthrough. What changed, what we’re doing about it, what to expect next week. Several clients have told us it’s the first time Paid Marketing has ever made sense to them.
From audit to measurable growth, step by step
Within 60–90 days, Manchester retail clients typically see Google Shopping ROAS improve from below 2× to 3.5×+, with retargeting campaigns recovering 18–22% of previously lost cart abandoners.

The honest difference
We’re not going to call other agencies bad. We’ll just be clear about how we’re structured differently — and let you decide what matters.
| Omakaase | What we hear from most agencies | |
|---|---|---|
| Contracts | ✓ Month-to-month. Walk away any time. | 12-month minimum (standard) |
| Who's on your account | ✓ Senior strategist. Doesn't rotate. | Account manager, often junior, rotates 6–12 months |
| Reporting cadence | ✓ Weekly Loom video + live dashboard | Monthly PDF report |
| Attribution model | ✓ Revenue-connected from Day 1 | Rankings + traffic only |
| Cost transparency | ✓ You see where every dollar goes | Black-box retainer |

“We were spending $45K/month on Google Ads with a 1.8x ROAS. Within 90 days, same budget, 3.4x. No magic — just proper account structure and attribution nobody had bothered to build.”

“They rebuilt our entire campaign architecture from scratch. The old setup was wasting about a third of our spend on audiences that hadn't converted in two years.”
Rachel N.
CMO · B2B Tech
“Finally, an agency that talks about margin, not clicks. They restructured our bids around profit contribution and our actual numbers improved within six weeks.”

The questions founders actually ask us
Not the FAQ we wrote. The questions from real first calls.
How long until we see improved ROAS from Google Shopping in Manchester?
Most Manchester retail clients see measurable ROAS improvement within 30–45 days of feed optimisation and bid restructure. Full results (3.5×+ ROAS) typically emerge by month 3 as the algorithm learns from cleaner data.
Do we need a Google Merchant Centre account already?
No — we set up and optimise Merchant Centre from scratch if needed. If you already have one, we audit it in week 1 and fix feed issues before touching campaign structure.
Should Manchester retailers also run Amazon Ads alongside Google Shopping?
For most consumer goods brands in Manchester, yes. Amazon captures 40%+ of product searches that never reach Google. Running both in parallel with coordinated bidding typically increases total category revenue 25–40% without proportional budget increase.
How do you handle retargeting for GDPR or privacy regulations?
We build retargeting audiences using first-party data (customer lists, pixel events) and contextual targeting where cookies are restricted — ensuring compliance without sacrificing performance.
What budget do we need for Google Shopping to be effective?
In Manchester, we recommend a minimum of £2,800/mo for Shopping campaigns to generate enough data for Smart Bidding to optimise. Below that, the algorithm doesn\'t have enough conversion signals.
