Services we run in Mayo
- Search is the listing, service pages and reviews that decide whether a Mayo customer finds a builder in Ballina or a wedding venue near Westport. Progress is gradual, and the foundations keep returning value once laid.
- Paid advertising runs Google Ads for searchers in Castlebar, Claremorris and Swinford. Budgets are fixed in advance and reduced whenever you ask, and each campaign is judged by the enquiries it generated, never by clicks alone.
- Websites that load quickly for someone on a bus from Belmullet, and explain what you do, where you go and how a customer can book. Every ad and every search finishes on a page, so each one needs a job to do. Photographs of the real premises, menu or stock help a visitor decide quickly.
- Social media works where buyers judge by appearance, such as a car dealer’s stock or a furniture showroom. Should it fail to justify itself for your business, we will flag that before spending begins.
- Email keeps the people who already know you in touch, from a booking reminder to a seasonal note for customers who have not been back in a while. We write the messages, time them and report which ones brought people back. Seasonal notes work best when they arrive before the season, not during it.

Reporting for Mayo businesses
Each month, the figures list every call, form and booking against the channel and search that produced it, and the ones that produced nothing are shown as well. Impressions sit in the background. Nothing is promised in advance, and the record of what arrived is the measure to judge us by.

Mayo answers from AI and search
Search rankings and AI summaries rely on overlapping sources, namely the listings and pages that already perform well. Mayo businesses benefit from a finished profile, a distinct page for each service and prices in plain text, all of which a human searcher and an automated summary can use. Getting this right once serves both audiences. That is the sort of work that rewards patience, and the results build up over time.

Our partner status in Ireland
Trading started in 2013; the head office is in County Louth. Google Partner standing puts us in Ireland’s top 3 per cent of Google Partners, and Shopify Partner status sits next to it. Both credentials carry a public record that anyone can check.

Mayo campaign prices
Management here starts at €450 a month plus VAT, with channels confirmed together beforehand. Trade and reach set the final figure, so treat the number as an opening position. We set the monthly figure out in writing before anything begins. We propose whatever your existing enquiries point toward, not whichever approach is currently popular.
Reviewing a Google Ads account in Mayo costs €295 plus VAT. The audit page describes its scope and who benefits most.

Where a Mayo conversation begins
Describe your trade and name the towns you would like to work from. A used-car forecourt in Castlebar and a bistro in Westport look for customers in different ways, so the first pages are built around the phrases each group actually types. Before anything new is proposed, we look at what is already producing enquiries and what should be kept. If you already know which searches matter in your trade, tell us, because that shortens the groundwork. Your first conversation can cover what not to spend on as much as what to spend on.

Good work builds trust. In their words.
We recently worked with Bubblehub on building our new custom e-commerce website and are delighted with the result.
We've been using Sam and Dave at Bubble Hub for a few years now after switching from a previous provider who didn't even notice when a few of our sites got hacked.
Delighted we went with Bubblehub. From the first chat, you could tell they knew their stuff, no sales pitch, just honest advice.
The guys in Bubblehub are a great team to work with. They set up our website and are so reliable in keeping it up to date.
Frequently asked.
What does a digital marketing agency actually do?
It depends who you ask, which is half the problem. For us it is five things under one roof: SEO, Google Ads and paid media, web design and development, social media and email marketing. Developers, designers, writers, videographers and drone pilots are all in the team, so the work is not passed out to someone else.
Where should we start?
With whatever is costing you most right now. If people are already searching for what you sell and cannot find you, that is SEO. If you need enquiries this month, that is paid media. If the traffic arrives and does not convert, the website is the problem first. We will tell you which one it is before you spend anything.
How long before we see results?
It depends on the channel. Paid campaigns can be live within days, with the first useful data inside a week or two. SEO is months rather than days: early signals in eight to twelve weeks and meaningful movement in four to six. We report against leads and revenue rather than clicks, so you can see which is which.
Do we have to take every service?
No. Most clients start with one thing and add another when the first is working. If a service would not earn its keep for you yet, we will say so rather than sell it.
Do you work with businesses in Mayo?
Yes. The address on this page is where we meet people in Mayo, and we work with businesses right across Ireland and the United Kingdom. If we are not the right fit for what you need, we will say so and point you somewhere better.
Where should a Mayo business spend first?
Whichever channel your customers already use. If people search for what you sell, search comes first. If they buy on how something looks, social and the photography come first. If you need enquiries this month rather than this year, paid advertising comes first and the rest follows. We will tell you which after looking, and we will tell you what to leave alone.
Do I need all of it, or can I start with one thing in Mayo?
Start with one, or two at most. Spreading a small budget across four channels buys four campaigns too small to learn anything from. The exception is the website, because everything else sends people to it, and a slow or vague site wastes whatever you spend upstream of it.
Do you work with small businesses in Mayo, or only big budgets?
Both, and the honest answer is that below a certain budget some channels are not worth starting. We would rather tell you that on the phone than take the money and report on a campaign that was never going to move. If a one-off piece of work would serve you better than a monthly retainer, we will say so.
