Best Google Ads Agencies in Ireland (2026): 7 Agencies Reviewed

Google runs its EMEA headquarters in Dublin, and Ireland has a competitive paid search scene, from large award-winning search agencies to small e-commerce and lead-generation teams. This ranking is written for a company from the US, the UK, another EU country or the Nordics that wants to hire one of the Google Ads agencies in Ireland – to win Irish customers, or to run English-language paid search for Ireland and the UK from an EU base. I am Adrian, an SEO consultant in Wrocław, and I research and write every ranking on this site myself. I kept 7 agencies, all registered with the Companies Registration Office (CRO), and read each one’s CRO data.

How I ranked the Google Ads agencies in Ireland

I ranked the Google Ads agencies in Ireland by quality first, fit for a foreign client second and price third:

Partner badges – whether the agency shows a Google Partner or Premier Partner badge, or Meta and Microsoft badges. I read these on the agencies’ own websites and did not cross-check them in Google’s Partners directory; Wolfgang Digital and Core Optimisation show Premier status.
Track record – PPC awards, named clients and case studies. Results quoted by an agency or its reviewers are their own figures, and I say so.
PPC focus – how much of the work is Google Ads, and whether Shopping, YouTube, Microsoft Ads and paid social are run by the same team.
Reviews – HatchHouse Digital, MJC Media and Social Gravity have Clutch ratings, from 19, 8 and 7 reviews. Where there are no usable reviews, I say so and name the strongest other signal.
Registration and ownership – CRO number, incorporation date and, where I could read them, directors and the largest shareholder (via solocheck.ie and northdata.com, which republish CRO data). Most small Irish companies file abridged accounts without turnover, so I quote no revenue figures.

The list includes only firms registered and headquartered in Ireland, and excludes Irish offices of the international media networks. A few agencies I could not match to a CRO company were left out. Many buyers in Ireland compare with British agencies, so see also the same list for the UK; if your budget is tighter, here is the same list for Poland, where rates are usually lower.

The 7 best Google Ads agencies in Ireland, reviewed

Every Google Ads agency in Ireland below gets the same treatment: who they are, what clients say, the facts that matter when you hire, and my opinion on who should – and should not – work with them.

1. Wolfgang Digital

Employee-owned Dublin search agency with a Google Premier Partner badge

Wolfgang Digital is a Dublin agency at Palmerston House, Denzille Lane, covering paid search on Google, YouTube and Microsoft Ads, plus SEO, paid social, social creative, CRM and analytics. Its paid-search page says it is a Google Premier Partner and has been named Google’s Top-Performing Agency in EMEA three times; I did not cross-check this in Google’s Partners directory, and I saw no Microsoft Advertising partner badge. At the European Search Awards 2026 its PPC team won Best Large PPC Agency and campaign awards for GoCar, Brown Thomas and Arnotts, and Jameson, according to Adworld.ie. Its website describes it as Ireland’s first employee-owned trust, on the John Lewis model. It publishes no prices. The website speaks of 18–19 years of trading, while the current company was incorporated in 2010, so I leave the founding year open.

What clients say. I found no Clutch profile for it, so there are no usable reviews. The strongest signal is its PPC award record and its client list: Jameson, Brown Thomas, Intersport Elverys, Zurich, Bord Gáis, Woodies, Optimum Nutrition, OtterBox and GoCar.

Facts: Dublin · English.

My take: the agency I would call first when a retail or consumer brand needs a large, data-led Google Ads team in Ireland. Best for: retail, e-commerce and consumer brands that want an award-winning, data-led PPC team in Ireland and the UK. Not for: very small budgets, or buyers who want a single freelancer-style contact.

2. Core Optimisation

B Corp growth agency from Shannon running search, social and video ads

Core Optimisation is a digital growth agency in the Shannon Free Zone, Co. Clare, with a Dublin presence. It runs paid search and Shopping, paid social, display, programmatic, connected TV and digital audio, alongside SEO and data and strategy work. Its website shows a Google Premier Partner badge and a Meta badge, which I did not cross-check in the partner directories, and it is a certified B Corp. It won silver at the European Search Awards 2026 and Best Use of SEO at the Digital Media Awards 2026, according to its site. DesignRush puts the team at 100–249 people. According to SoloCheck, the largest of its three shareholders is The Results Agency Limited; I did not check who owns that company. It publishes no prices.

What clients say. I found no Clutch profile, so there are no usable reviews. The strongest signal is its client list: WaterWipes, Glanbia, Tirlán, ARYZTA, Fáilte Ireland, Riverdance, Tesco and Kilkenny Design.

Facts: founded 2014 · Shannon · 100–249 people · English.

My take: my pick for a consumer or FMCG brand that wants Google Ads planned together with social, video and audio from one team. Best for: Irish and European consumer and FMCG brands that want paid media across search, social and video from one team. Not for: buyers who want a PPC-only boutique.

Its case studies include UNICEF Ireland, EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum, Seiko Ireland and the Irish Aviation Authority, with some campaigns run in both English and Irish. I did not check whether it holds a Google Partner badge, and it publishes no prices. The registered company is Lmi Marketing Limited, which holds the business names Vroom Digital, Vroom SEO and Vroom PPC; its company number is printed in the website footer.

What clients say. I found no Clutch profile, so there are no usable reviews. The strongest signal is its awards and case studies; other named clients include Europcar and PhoneWatch.

Facts: founded 2012 · Dublin (Adelaide Road) · English, Irish.

My take: the one I would brief when Google Ads has to work together with SEO and digital PR from a senior small team. Best for: brands that want Google Ads run together with SEO and digital PR by a senior small team. Not for: buyers who need large multi-market enterprise programmes.

HatchHouse Digital is a Dublin e-commerce marketing agency founded in 2019. Clutch lists its PPC work as 80% Google Ads and 20% YouTube, and it also covers e-commerce marketing on Shopify, Etsy and eBay, email and social. Its clients are small and mid-market consumer and e-commerce businesses. I did not check whether it holds a Google Partner badge. When I read its record on SoloCheck, its next accounts (due 30 September 2024) were shown as overdue, so check the current filing status on core.cro.ie before you sign.

What clients say. Clutch: 4.9/5 from 19 reviews. Reviewers describe a communicative, professional and punctual team and steady growth from long-term campaigns; the project costs they report range from €800 to €15,000.

5. MJC Media

Boutique Dublin paid media shop for Google Ads and social ads

MJC Media is a small Dublin paid media agency that splits its work between social advertising on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok and Google Ads, mostly for consumer and e-commerce brands. I did not check whether it holds a Google Partner badge. Clutch says it was founded in 2018; the current company, Mjc Media Limited, a micro company, was incorporated in February 2023, and I did not check any earlier trading entity.

What clients say. Clutch: 5.0/5 from 8 reviews. Reviewers praise communication, quality and project management, and several report a high return on ad spend – some cite up to 20 times ROAS. Those figures are the reviewers’ own.

Facts: founded 2018 · Dublin · 2–9 people · $100–149/h · minimum project $1,000 · English.

My take: a good fit for a small consumer brand that wants one senior team for Google Ads and social ads at a modest budget. Best for: small consumer brands that want senior hands-on paid media on modest budgets. Not for: enterprise accounts that need a large team.

Social Gravity is a Dublin SEO and PPC agency; Clutch lists its work as SEO (50%), PPC (25%) and WordPress web design (25%). It specialises in lead generation for home-service businesses such as roofing, plumbing, solar and construction firms, using Google Ads alongside SEO. I did not check whether it holds a Google Partner badge. Clutch gives its trading office as Windmill Lane in Dublin 2, while the registered office is in Blanchardstown. Clutch says it was founded in 2018; the company itself was incorporated in 2020, so it may have traded in another form before that.

What clients say. Clutch: 4.9/5 from 7 reviews. Reviewers praise a tailored strategy and detailed updates; one reports 162% more visitors in three months, and one wanted more initiative in meetings. Named clients include Clear Tax, HP Roofing Ireland and Duke & Duchess Jewelers.

Its founder is Gerard Keohane, and its website speaks of more than 20 years of e-commerce experience; the company behind it, Ecommerce And Web Development Limited, was incorporated in 2013 and owns the registered business name StudioForty9. I saw no Google or Meta partner badge on its site, and it publishes no prices.

What clients say. I found no Clutch profile, so there are no usable reviews. The strongest signal is its Irish retail client list: Intersport Elverys, McElhinneys, Shaws, PetStop, Carraig Donn, Colourtrend and Evergreen Healthfoods.

Facts: founded 2013 · Cork · English.

My take: the one to hire when you want your store, email and Google Ads handled by the same e-commerce team. Best for: Irish retailers that want their store, email and paid search handled by one e-commerce team. Not for: buyers who want a PPC specialist – PPC is one of many services here.

Quality, specialisation and what Google Ads agencies in Ireland charge

Only the smaller Google Ads agencies in Ireland in this ranking show prices, all on Clutch: HatchHouse Digital, MJC Media and Social Gravity list $100–149 an hour, with minimum projects of $1,000 to $5,000. HatchHouse Digital’s reviewers report project costs from €800 to €15,000. Wolfgang Digital, Core Optimisation, Vroom Digital and StudioForty9 publish no fees. In practice, PPC agencies charge in one of three ways: a flat monthly management fee, a percentage of ad spend (often with a monthly minimum), or a mix of both, and the ad budget itself is paid on top, usually directly to Google. Ask which model applies, what minimum spend the agency expects, and whether set-up and tracking work are billed separately. Fees are invoiced in euros.

The main choice is between large search agencies with a Premier badge (Wolfgang Digital, Core Optimisation), a small team that runs PPC with SEO and digital PR (Vroom Digital), small paid media specialists for e-commerce and consumer brands (HatchHouse Digital, MJC Media), a lead-generation agency for local businesses (Social Gravity) and an e-commerce build agency that also runs ads (StudioForty9).

How to choose a Google Ads agency in Ireland

Choosing a Google Ads agency in Ireland starts with your budget and the markets you target:

What a badge means – a Google Partner badge means the agency meets Google’s thresholds for spend, certified staff and account performance; Premier Partner is the top tier, given to roughly the top 3% of partner agencies in a country each year. It says nothing about your account, so ask for case studies in your sector.
Who owns the account – the Google Ads account, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and all conversion tracking should be set up under your own company, with the agency given access. If the agency leaves, your campaign history and conversion data should stay with you. Put this in the contract.
Ireland, the UK or both – Irish and British campaigns need separate budgets, currencies and often different ad copy. Ask whether the agency already runs campaigns in both markets.
Size of the team – the large agencies bring specialists for Shopping, YouTube and analytics; the small ones give you a senior person on the account every day. Decide which you need.
Language – ads, keywords and reports are in English; Irish-language ads matter only for some public-sector campaigns.

Also check the paperwork when you hire a Google Ads agency in Ireland. Search the company name or CRO number free on core.cro.ie, the Companies Registration Office portal, to see the status, registered office and whether accounts are filed on time. Several agencies trade under a business name – StudioForty9, for example, is Ecommerce And Web Development Limited – so put the registered name and CRO number in the contract. Check the Irish VAT number (IE followed by digits and one or two letters) in the EU’s VIES database. If your business is in another EU country and gives its own VAT number, the reverse charge usually applies and the agency’s invoice carries no Irish VAT; for a business outside the EU, Irish VAT is in most cases not charged on these services. Ad spend billed by Google itself follows Google’s own invoicing. Confirm with your adviser – this is not legal or tax advice. Ireland runs on GMT in winter and Irish Standard Time (GMT+1) in summer, one hour behind Central European Time.

Google Ads agencies in Ireland: FAQ

The questions foreign companies ask most before hiring Google Ads agencies in Ireland.

Are the Google Premier Partner badges of these agencies verified?

No, I did not verify the Google Premier Partner badges of these agencies in Google’s own Partners directory – I read them on the agencies’ websites. Wolfgang Digital and Core Optimisation show Premier status; check the current status in Google’s directory before you sign.

How much do Google Ads agencies in Ireland charge?

Google Ads agencies in Ireland charge about $100–149 an hour where they show a rate on Clutch, with minimum projects from $1,000 to $5,000. Most quote a monthly fee or a share of ad spend after a briefing, and the ad budget is paid on top.

Should I own the Google Ads account when I hire a Google Ads agency in Ireland?

Yes, you should own the Google Ads account when you hire a Google Ads agency in Ireland, together with Analytics, Tag Manager and the conversion data. Give the agency access rather than letting it create the account under its own name, so the history stays with you if you change agencies.

Can Google Ads agencies in Ireland also run campaigns in the UK?

Yes, Google Ads agencies in Ireland often run campaigns in the UK as well; Wolfgang Digital, for example, targets brands in Ireland and the UK. Ask for UK case studies and agree how the budgets in euros and pounds will be split.

My verdict: which Google Ads agency in Ireland to hire

Choosing among Google Ads agencies in Ireland depends on your size and goals. For a large, award-winning PPC team, hire Wolfgang Digital. For Google Ads planned with social, video and audio, hire Core Optimisation. For PPC tied to SEO and digital PR, hire Vroom Digital. For a small online shop, talk to HatchHouse Digital, and for local lead generation, Social Gravity.

Whichever Google Ads agency in Ireland you choose, agree the fee model, the minimum spend, the reporting and – above all – that the ad accounts and conversion data are yours before work starts.
