Google Ads Management.
Stop paying for clicks that never convert. Every dollar of spend, accountable to a result.
The problem
Google will happily spend your whole budget. Few agencies make it pay.
It’s easy to run ads. It’s hard to run ads that profit. Most accounts we inherit are quietly bleeding money — bidding on searches that will never convert, sending clicks to a page that doesn’t match the promise, with conversion tracking that was never set up properly, so nobody actually knows what’s working. We rebuild the account around the searches that turn into customers, fix the tracking so the numbers are real, and tune relentlessly toward a lower cost per lead.
What’s included
Everything that moves the needle.
Nothing that doesn’t.
- Full account audit (or fresh build) — structure, bids, negatives, tracking
- Conversion tracking set up properly, so the numbers are trustworthy
- Search, Performance Max + remarketing campaigns matched to intent
- Negative keyword discipline so you stop paying for junk clicks
- Landing-page review — the click is wasted if the page doesn’t convert
- Ongoing bid, budget + audience optimisation
- Call + form tracking so leads are attributed to spend
- Monthly reporting on cost-per-lead and return — not just impressions
Our approach
Tracking first, then optimisation you can trust.
If the conversion tracking is wrong, every decision after it is a guess. So we start there — making sure a lead is a lead and we can see which campaign, keyword and ad produced it. Then we cut the waste (the searches and placements that spend without converting), match each campaign to genuine buyer intent, and make sure the landing page actually delivers on the ad. From there it’s steady, evidence-led optimisation toward a lower cost per lead. You always know what your spend bought.

FAQ
Common questions, answered honestly.
Is the ad spend included in your fee?
No — they’re separate. You pay Google directly for the ad spend (you keep full ownership and visibility of the account), and you pay us a management fee for building, running and optimising it. That way there’s no markup hidden inside your media budget.
Do I own the Google Ads account?
Always. We build and manage it inside your own account, so if we ever part ways you keep every campaign, every conversion history and every learning. We don’t hold your account hostage.
My current ads aren’t working. Can you fix the existing account?
Usually, yes. We start with an audit. Often the structure is salvageable and the real problems are conversion tracking, negative keywords and landing-page mismatch. If a rebuild is the better path, we’ll show you why before doing it.
What’s a realistic budget to start?
Enough to gather meaningful data without burning out before it works — for most Adelaide service businesses that’s a few thousand a month in ad spend. We’ll give you an honest read on whether your market and margins make paid search worthwhile before you commit.

“Andrew has supported our small business for some time now. There are a lot of people in this industry and we had engaged a few prior to working with Andrew. We were absolutely blown away by Andrew’s service — he was informative, took the time to explain everything to us so we knew what services we were purchasing, and he was professional and prompt. Most importantly we saw the difference from his work — we were getting a lot more calls after he worked his magic on our website / Google account. We can’t recommend him more! Thank you Andrew.”

“Incredibly professional service. One team handling everything, which is perfect for us. They also have an understanding of the business side of things, not just the technical info, which is very helpful. We mainly correspond with Andrew and he has been a consistent, reliable force, bringing tremendous value to every conversation. All our security, hosting and website maintenance, Google Ads and SEO have been managed by Advantage Digital. They built our custom ecommerce store from the ground up and run the entire online side of our business. Our stock control, including order systems like automated product import which keeps thousands of items up to date, has been integrated seamlessly. Any issues are responded to quickly and with clear communication. We have watched in real time our online sales and traffic increase significantly since working with them. For anyone needing a serious ecommerce site or advanced custom integration, we highly recommend.”
