AI PAID ADS
GoogleAds&PaidMediaforEdinburghStartups
You're spending £2K/month on Google Ads and getting clicks that don't convert. Or you're not running ads at all while your competitors capture every search. Both are expensive mistakes.
Paid ads for Edinburgh startups usually go one of two ways: you're spending money on Google Ads managed by an agency that sends you click reports but never mentions conversions. Or you're not running ads because "we tried it once and it didn't work." Both cost you pipeline. The Edinburgh paid ads landscape has genuine opportunities — keyword costs are 30-50% lower than London for equivalent terms, and competition is lighter for most B2B categories. But you need campaigns built for conversion, not clicks. Landing pages that convert at 5-10%, not 1%. Ad copy that pre-qualifies buyers so you don't waste budget on tyre-kickers. And attribution that tracks from click to closed deal, not just to form submission. Haben builds paid media for Edinburgh startups that drive actual pipeline. We've managed campaigns across 1,600+ projects, and the team behind Haben was an integral part of a billion-dollar fintech in its early stage where every pound spent on ads was tracked to revenue. If you can't tie an ad campaign to pipeline, you should turn it off.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our AI services.
For B2B Edinburgh startups, £1,500-3,000/month gets meaningful data and results. Edinburgh CPCs are 30-50% lower than London equivalents — "AI automation Edinburgh" costs less than "AI automation London" with the same buyer intent. We recommend starting at £1,500/month, optimising for 60 days, then scaling budget toward the campaigns that convert. Never spend more until you know what works.
We report on pipeline, not clicks. Your monthly report shows: leads generated, cost per lead, leads that became sales opportunities, and revenue attributed to ads. If a campaign generates 1,000 clicks and zero leads, we kill it. If a campaign generates 10 clicks and 3 leads, we scale it. Every Edinburgh client gets a Looker Studio dashboard tracking from click to close.
