What we will not promise
Paid search has no address requirement, so unlike the map pack there is nothing structural stopping us competing in Tunbridge Wells 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.
