Want to keep a local mindset, internationally?

Canada is not China, and Chile is not the Czech Republic. You may be able to walk into a McDonald’s or access Netflix pretty much anywhere in the world, but each local area still has its distinct culture.

One-size-fits-all ads don’t work when markets have different user behaviour and preferences. Whether it’s local sensibilities, political affiliations, preferred social networks, working practices or another factor, there are lots of variables that determine how people act.

We’ll make recommendations based on the types of messaging – and the timings – audiences are likely to respond best to.

Unsure how to tailor your copy?

Well-written copy can make all the difference in any campaign. It’s the difference between having a loudspeaker and being drowned out by the noise of the internet. 

When working with an international PPC strategy, copy designed for each region is vital. You need expert translations, and copy to be in a relevant tone of voice.

What’s worse than having your ads ignored by everyone? Having ads that look unprofessional, rude or that don’t make sense. We’ll make sure to dot all the umlauts and tick all the accents

Want to conduct detailed international research?

We’ve produced PPC ads for various territories, but we don’t take anything for granted. We do plenty of digging, tracking online sentiment and keeping up to date with local events. Local businesses in the same market also come under the microscope, so we can see what your competition is doing.

The result is a complete picture of the market you’re stepping into, allowing you to put one foot in front of the other with confidence.

Want to improve the performance of your landing pages?

Not every website is set up to receive traffic from multiple international locations. That’s where dedicated PPC landing pages come in: quick to set up, hosted on a subdomain of your website for authenticity, and easily changed and improved. Importantly, they are also easier to track performance as only paid traffic will be directed to them.

It’s easier than it’s ever been to take your business international. Taking your paid media campaigns in this direction gives you the chance to expand into potentially lucrative new markets – and the key to success is having an expert agency alongside you.

Our experienced paid media specialists will take the time to understand the overseas market that you’re looking to move into, taking into account not just how your target audience speaks but how they shop too.

Expanding into new territories can seem daunting when you’re not just taking a cut-and-paste approach, but we’ll ensure that our carefully designed and tailored international strategy makes all that extra effort worth it.

Frequently asked questions about paid media

What does an international PPC agency do?

A specialist PPC agency like Distinctly will manage your advertising campaigns from conception to fruition. We will optimise towards your key objectives, and ensure you stay on budget and on brand.

What’s the minimum monthly budget Distinctly work with?

You’ll need to spend at least £3,000 per month on your campaign, which will allow you to see some really tangible results.

How do you measure success?

Our goals are ultimately led by you. Whether you’re looking to increase revenue, or improve lead generation, we work closely with your business to determine what you want to achieve and the best way for us to do it sustainably.

What does paid media involve?

Paid media covers multiple platforms such as Google Ads, Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft. The platforms you utilise will depend on who your target audience is and what your business goals are. We can provide guidance on which will serve you best if you’re unsure where to begin, or if you already have an idea, we can help strategise an effective approach.

What’s the difference between the media spend and the agency fee?

Your media spend is the budget you allocate towards advertising exposure. This budget is paid directly to the platform you’re advertising on, in most cases, when someone clicks your ad.

The agency fee is the cost of our agreed services, and is paid directly to us.
