What that means for google ads in Dundee City
680 retail businesses puts the weight on the map pack, opening hours, photos and reviews. Organic service pages do less work in a retail-led district than the profile itself does.
There is no meaningful paid-search auction on the service terms for Dundee City yet, which usually means the money is going into the broader Dundee City terms instead.
What we will not promise
Paid search has no address requirement, so unlike the map pack there is nothing structural stopping us competing in Dundee City from Bethnal Green. What we will not do is promise a cost per lead before we have seen your account and the live auction. Anyone who quotes you one without that is guessing. You do not pay us until the work brings you clients.
How it works, and what decides the cost in Dundee City
We do not publish a price, because the honest answer depends on the market. What moves it here: how many businesses are already competing in Dundee City (4,895), and how far off page one you are starting.
What does not change: the market analysis is free and comes first, we say so plainly if Dundee City is not winnable for you, you do not pay until the work is bringing you clients and has paid for itself, we take one business per trade per area, and it is rolling with no lock-in.
