Bubblehub Media works as a digital marketing agency in Sligo, for businesses in Sligo Town, Strandhill, Tubbercurry and Ballymote.
If a customer searching for what you sell picks someone else, or the adverts you pay for bring in no bookings at all, the answer is usually in how your search, advertising and website connect. We plan those three as a single job.
If we don’t double your qualified leads within 90 days, we work for free until we do.

Sligo reports show enquiries and bookings, sorted by channel and by the search behind each one. Impressions stay out of the headline, because a result seen on a screen is not the same as a customer on the phone. Each month explains what moved and what we changed in response. A quiet month gets the same treatment: the report says so, and it gives the likeliest reason as far as the figures show it.
AI answers lean on the pages and listings that search already relies on, so the groundwork for a Sligo search is the groundwork for an AI answer too. In our view there is no sensible reason to plan them apart. A clear page naming Strandhill or Tubbercurry, a Google profile kept up to date and reviews from real customers give both a reason to choose your business. Reviews need asking for after each job and answering when they arrive, and that routine does as much for the answer side as for the map.
Since 2013, Bubblehub Media has operated from a head office in County Louth. Google Partner status is ours, and it sits among the top 3 per cent of partners in Ireland. We also hold Shopify Partner status, and the two badges follow this paragraph.
Monthly management starts from €450 plus VAT. For a Sligo business covering its own town and trade, that is the place to begin, and the figure moves once more towns or channels come into the plan.
The Google Ads audit costs €295 plus VAT. Its details, including what you receive, are on the Google Ads audit page.

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 Sligo, 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.
