Southend Businesses Pay Half the London CPC
Google Ads in Southend cost 40-50% less per click than London — but only if your campaigns are set up to target South Essex, not the whole South East. Most accounts we audit are paying London prices for Southend traffic because nobody tightened the targeting. We fix that in week one.
