Why Google Ads

Google Ads That Pay for Themselves

SEO builds long-term rankings. Google Ads put you at the top of the page today, in front of the people already searching for what you sell.

New Leads Within 24 Hours

Once your campaign goes live, your ads appear for the searches your customers make, so the phone can start ringing the same day. It is the fastest way to test a new service, fill a quiet month or launch a new business.

Highly Targeted, A/B Split Tested Campaigns

Only the Searches That Matter

Every keyword is chosen for buying intent, so your budget goes to people ready to call, book or buy.

Measured, Not Guessed

Calls, form submissions and sales are tracked, so you know exactly what each campaign returns.

A/B Split Tested

Ads and landing pages are tested against each other, and the winners keep earning more of your budget.

Optimised Every Month

Bids, keywords and ads are refined continuously, then reported in plain English.

Click Fraud Protection, Included

Bots, click farms, competitors and repeat clickers can drain an ad budget without ever becoming a lead. Every Google Ads account we manage runs ClickCease, which checks the clicks on your ads as they happen and automatically blocks the sources of fraudulent clicks from seeing your ads again.

  • Watched in Real TimePaid clicks are checked live, not weeks later in a report.
  • Blocked AutomaticallySuspicious sources are excluded from your campaigns as soon as they are detected.
  • More Budget for Real CustomersMoney that would have gone to fake clicks goes to people who can actually buy.

ClickCease is set up and managed by us on every account, as part of your Google Ads management.

Case Studies

Real Google Ads Results

Two campaigns, two different problems, and the numbers straight from Google Ads.

Google Ads, Large Format Print

58% Cheaper Google Ads Leads

In the highly competitive large format print industry, a client came to us in the hope of making their Google Ads campaign profitable and cost effective. They had 5 years experience running Google Ads nationally using Australia's best and most expensive marketing agencies.

Through our optimisation process and landing page design, we reduced their cost per lead from $83.22 to just $34.96, more than halving their cost per lead and saving them $48.26 per lead.

Google Ads Case Study

Same Budget, 150% More Phone Calls

In a Google Ads management case study, conversion rate optimisation took a campaign from 28 phone calls to 70 on the same budget. No extra ad spend, just a better campaign and a better landing page.

Why Tracking Comes First

A business that doesn't track calls can't tell whether its ads work. One that does can see which channel brings each enquiry, then move budget to whatever brings the most customers for the least money.

Ads and SEO, Working Together

Ads bring leads now while SEO builds rankings that last. For Big Party Oz, 90.52% of clicks now come from organic search and 9.48% from paid ads, so the ad budget works on top of a strong foundation.

Why It Matters

The Difference a Marketing Team Makes

With no marketing team, you do it all yourself while wearing every other hat, and pay for it in time and lost customers. With an ineffective one, you pay and still get beaten by businesses with effective teams. Here is how the four options compare.

Questions Answered

Before Your Ads Go Live

Straight answers about how your Google Ads are set up, managed and measured. Anything else, call the team on 07 5628 2543 or 0434 196 585.

Ask the Team

How Quickly Can Google Ads Bring in Leads?

Highly targeted campaigns can bring new, ready-to-buy leads within 24 hours of going live. Your ads appear as soon as Google approves them, for the searches your customers are making today.

Should I Use Google Ads or SEO?

Most businesses do best with both. Google Ads bring leads straight away, while SEO delivers the greatest return on your marketing budget over time. Your Digital Marketing Report shows the right mix for your goals and budget.

How Much Should I Spend on Google Ads?

It depends on your industry, your location and how competitive your keywords are. Your free report includes a suggested budget and the expected cost per lead before you spend anything.

How Do You Measure Results?

We set up conversion tracking for phone calls, form submissions and sales, so you can see how many leads each campaign brings and what each lead costs.

Do You Improve My Landing Pages?

Yes. Landing pages are optimised and A/B split tested, because a better page turns more of the same clicks into customers. In one case study, phone calls went from 28 to 70 on the same budget.

Can You Take Over My Existing Google Ads Account?

Yes. We review your current account, tracking and landing pages first, then show you what we would change and why.

Will I Be Locked into a Contract?

No. There are no lock-in contracts. No one likes being locked in unnecessarily, and the results speak for themselves.

Is Any of the Work Outsourced?

No. Nothing is secretly outsourced. All work is completed in-house on the Gold Coast for quality assurance and reliability.

Where Are You Based?

The office is at B7/50-54 Railway Street, Mudgeeraba QLD 4213, and visits are by appointment only. The team works with local, national and international clients.
