Bubblehub Media is a digital marketing agency serving Clare businesses across Ennis and Shannon, and out to Kilrush, Killaloe and the coast at Lahinch.
Clare trade depends on two kinds of customer, the locals searching from Clarecastle or Ennistymon and the visitors heading for the coast, and both usually start with a search on a phone. If that search goes to a rival, the cause is almost always what the rival’s page and listing say, and that is the part we rebuild.
If we don’t double your qualified leads within 90 days, we work for free until we do.

Each report counts enquiries broken out by channel and search, with impressions kept out of the headline, because a page shown in a results list does not mean a phone rang. A slow week on one channel is easier to act on when you can see the others beside it. The report does not predict next month, and it does not claim a result it cannot show.
We think a Clare business earns a place in AI answers the same way it earns a place in search, through its pages, its listing and what customers say about it. A clear page for each service and a listing that names Shannon, Kilrush or Lahinch gives both the search and the AI answer something accurate to use.
From a head office in County Louth, Bubblehub Media has worked since 2013. Among the Google Partners in Ireland, we are placed in the top 3 per cent, with Shopify Partner status alongside it.
The monthly management service starts at €450, plus VAT. The figure depends on the towns covered, from Ennis alone to the whole county, and on how many channels the work needs.
A Google Ads audit for your account is €295 plus VAT, and it looks at what you already run before you spend more. Read the audit page.
Summer trade came in well but the winter has been slow, and I am still paying for clicks that I cannot explain. I want to find out which searches from Ennis and Shannon my competitors are winning, and what I would need to change to take a share of them. Tell me what it would cost to find out. Show me the searches my Clare business is missing

Let’s plan your next moveWe 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes. The address on this page is where we meet people in Clare, 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.
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.
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.
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.
