Google Ads, run in your account, with nothing hidden.
Most of what goes wrong with small Google Ads accounts is not clever. It is spending before the tracking works, leaving the default settings on, and never reading the search terms report. We set it up so those cannot happen, in an account you own.
- The account is yours. You keep it if you leave
- No percentage markup on your ad spend
- Conversion tracking proven working before a cent is spent
- You see the real numbers, including the bad months

Ads. The management fee, and nothing else.
$650/mo
Google Ads run in your own account, with our fee and Google's bill kept separate and visible.
A business that needs enquiries this month rather than next quarter, and has a page worth sending a paid click to.
$650 a month is the management fee. Your advertising budget is separate, it is set by you, and Google bills it directly to your own card. We never handle it, never mark it up, and never take a percentage of it. A percentage of spend pays the agency more when your costs go up, which is the wrong way round.
- The account is created in your name and your billing, and you keep it, with all of its history, if you leave
- Campaign build: keywords, match types, negative keywords, ad copy and extensions
- Conversion tracking proven working against the live form before a cent is spent
- The search terms report read regularly and negatives added, which is the single job most neglected accounts are missing
- Landing page advice, including telling you when the page rather than the ads is what is losing the click
- A monthly report with the real numbers, including the months they are bad
- Your ad spend. It is not in the $650 and it never will be. It goes to Google
- No guaranteed cost per lead and no guaranteed lead volume. A number promised before a single search has run protects the agency, not you
- Google only. Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn ads are not part of this
- Landing page builds are quoted separately, per page
- A budget too small to learn from is not worth managing. If yours is one, we will tell you at the first conversation instead of taking the fee
- No partner badge and no certification claim. What you can check instead is the account itself, because it is yours and every setting and every number in it is open to you
Month to month. No lock-in, no minimum term, no exit fee, and it is never a condition of a build. All prices in Australian dollars. Every price is on the pricing page, or write to us from the contact page.

Southern Cross Provisions
An export site written for overseas buyers who check a company on the register before they reply. Entity details, published terms and a trust centre, because that audience looks for them.
Open the site Industrial exportAustera Global
Mining and industrial supply, sold into other time zones. Built to load quickly on poor connections and to survive being read by a procurement manager.
Open the site Publishing and SEOWatchroute Guide
A forty four page review publication in the Canadian online gaming market, organised into five content silos and built to be found in search rather than introduced by an email.
Open the siteFour steps, no mystery.
Understand the buyer
Who checks you out, what makes them hesitate, and what they need to see before they make contact. This decides the build, and it takes a conversation rather than a questionnaire.
Agree the first screen
The fold does most of the work. We settle that before anything else gets built, because if it does not hold attention the rest is never read.
Build and prove it
Written by hand, tested on real devices, and checked against the live page rather than the build output. A passing build is not evidence the site is right.
Hand it over properly
You own the site, the domain and the accounts. If you leave, nothing is held hostage.
This suits you if
- Your customer researches you before they call
- You want one person accountable, not a team you never meet
- The current site embarrasses you, or there is not one yet
- You would rather hear an honest no than be sold to
Probably not if
- You need it live this week
- You want the cheapest quote in the inbox
- You want a guarantee about rankings or leads. Nobody can honestly give one
- You want a template filled in rather than something built for the business
The questions everyone asks.
Who owns the account?
You do. It is created under your billing and your name, and if you stop working with us you keep it, along with every bit of history in it. An account you cannot take with you is a hostage, not a service.
Do you take a percentage of my spend?
No. A percentage of spend pays us more when your costs go up, which is the wrong way round. Our fee is separate from what Google charges you, and you see Google's number directly in your own billing.
What do you do before spending anything?
Prove the conversion tracking actually records, and prove the enquiry form actually works. Both are checked against the live site, not a dashboard. Spending before that is buying clicks you cannot measure on a form that may be broken.
Can you guarantee leads or a cost per lead?
No. Anyone quoting you a guaranteed cost per lead before running a single search is guessing, and the guess protects them rather than you. What we will do is tell you what it actually cost, including when that number is bad.
What if it does not work?
Some accounts do not. If the searches are not there, or the cost per enquiry stays above what a customer is worth, the honest answer is to stop and put the money somewhere else. We would rather say that than keep billing a retainer.
What does it cost?
$650 a month to build and run the campaigns, month to month with no lock-in. Your ad spend sits on top of that, it is set by you, and Google bills it straight to your own card. Landing pages and websites are priced separately, from $2,400, and the list is on the pricing page. All prices in Australian dollars.
Where are you based?
Australia, in Brisbane, and we work with businesses in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and New Zealand. Accounts are managed remotely either way.
