Google Ads that ring your phone, not your competitor's.

When a hot water system dies or a switchboard trips, the homeowner searches Google and calls whoever shows up first. Managed search and Local Service Ads put that call on your phone — tracked to the dollar.

Why tradies come to us for google ads.

  • You've tried Google Ads yourself and watched the budget vanish on out-of-area clicks.
  • An agency ran them before — you never knew what you were paying for or what came back.
  • hipages and the directories resell the same lead to four of your competitors.
  • The phone only rings when you're quiet enough to worry about it.
What we do

The specifics, not the sales pitch.

01

Search campaigns built around jobs, not clicks

Campaigns structured by service line — "blocked drain [suburb]", "switchboard upgrade", "colorbond re-roof" — each with its own landing page and bid strategy tuned to job value.

02

Local Service Ads

Google's pay-per-lead product at the very top of the page. We set up your verification, categories and review flow, then manage bids and dispute junk leads on your behalf.

03

Negative keywords & geo-fencing

No more paying for "DIY", "free", "course" or clicks from three suburbs past your service area. This alone typically recovers 20–30% of a self-managed budget.

04

Call tracking & conversion reporting

Every call, form and booked job tracked back to the keyword that produced it. Your weekly report says what we changed, what it cost, and what came back — in plain English.

Proof

Receipts, not promises.

Pricing

What it costs.

Fully managed for $100/wk for your first ad and $50/wk for each ad after that. Artwork is $50 per piece as we create it. Month-to-month, no lock-in — pause an ad and stop paying for it. Your ad spend is paid by you directly to Google — separate from our fees, never marked up.

FAQ

Straight answers.

How much does Google Ads cost for a tradie?
Two parts: our management fee ($100/wk for your first ad, $50/wk each additional) and your ad spend, paid directly to Google. Sole operators in regional areas typically spend $800–$1,500/mo; metro crews chasing bigger work run $2,500–$5,000/mo. We size it on the audit call and you control the cap.
How fast will I see leads?
Local Service Ads can land calls in week one. Search campaigns usually take 3–4 weeks of optimisation to hit a stable cost per lead. The written benchmark is set over 90 days so you're judging a tuned campaign, not week one.
Who owns the Google Ads account?
You do — always. It's set up in your name, on your card, with us added as a manager. If you ever leave, everything we built stays yours.
Is Google Ads better than hipages?
Directory leads are resold to multiple tradies and you compete on price. A Google Ads lead searched for your service and called you — exclusively. Cost per lead is usually similar or better, and the lead quality isn't comparable.
