The opportunity

Couples are searching.
The question is who do they find?

The UK wedding venue market is worth £3.9 billion. With 7,655 licensed venues competing for every booking, visibility is everything. Couples searching "wedding venues near me" or "barn wedding venue Shropshire" right now will enquire with whoever appears first - and book within a month.

84%
Start their search online

84% of couples use online platforms to discover venues. Google is the first door they knock on. If you're not visible in paid search at that moment, you're not on the shortlist.

40%
Won't even enquire without pricing

40% of couples in 2026 won't contact a venue that doesn't show pricing online - up from 30% on the year before. The right ad copy and landing page removes that barrier before it costs you a booking.

79%
Book within 4 weeks of enquiring

Once a couple enquires, the decision is almost made. Speed and visibility win. Google Ads keeps your venue front-of-mind through the entire consideration window.

What you get

A complete paid search service.
Nothing to set up, nothing to manage.

01
Venue audit & competitor analysis

Before a penny is spent, I analyse your local search landscape - who's bidding, which keywords are converting, and where the gaps are in your area.

02
Campaign build & copy

Targeted Google Ads campaigns built around the search terms couples actually use - venue type, location, capacity, and style - with ad copy written to convert browsers into enquiries.

03
Conversion tracking setup

Every phone call, form completion, and brochure download tracked back to the keyword that drove it. You'll know exactly which searches are turning into booked weddings.

04
Ongoing optimisation

Budgets, bids, and search terms reviewed regularly. I pause what isn't working and scale what is - so your spend stays focused on the enquiries that actually convert.

05
Seasonal strategy

Weddings are highly seasonal. Your campaigns adapt - pushing harder during peak planning periods (January, post-Christmas, spring) and pulling back when it makes commercial sense.

06
Plain-English monthly reporting

No dashboards full of vanity metrics. Every month you receive a clear summary: what was spent, what it produced, and what changes I'm making next.

Why Sharpstones Media

Senior-level expertise.
Without the agency overhead.

I'm Will Beavis, a PPC specialist with over 20 years of senior digital marketing experience. Sharpstones Media is a boutique consultancy - no account managers, no junior staff running your campaigns. When you work with me, I do the work.

Based in Shrewsbury, Shropshire. I work with businesses across the region and surrounding counties. I know the local market, the catchment areas, and many of the venues that couples in this part of the world are searching for.

"Most venues I speak to are already spending money on directories and social. They're not measuring what works. Google Ads changes that - every penny is traceable."
