Google Ads managed in Wollongong, measured in enquiries.
Campaigns built to bring Illawarra customers to your phone, with every dollar of spend accounted for.
Most small business Google Ads accounts leak money.
We audit accounts every month that are paying for clicks from Sydney, from job seekers, from people searching "free" and "DIY". The business owner sees clicks on a report and assumes it is working. The bank account says otherwise.
Run properly, Google Ads is the fastest way for a Wollongong business to get in front of buyers. Run loosely, it is a donation to Google. The difference is management.
- Clicks from Sydney
- Job seekers

How we run Google Ads for Illawarra businesses.
Six controls, applied at setup and checked every month you are with us.
Tight local targeting
Your ads show where your customers are, whether that is a 15 km radius of the CBD or specific suburbs from Thirroul to Shell Cove, and nowhere else.
Negative keywords from day one
Cutting the "free", "jobs", "course" and wrong-suburb searches before they cost you anything.
Conversion tracking that means something
Calls and enquiry forms tracked, so reports show enquiries and cost per lead, not just clicks.
Ad copy that qualifies
Ads written to attract your buyer and politely repel everyone else.
Landing pages that convert
Sending paid traffic to a slow homepage burns money. We make sure the page after the click does its job.
Monthly tuning
Search terms reviewed, bids adjusted, budget shifted to what is producing. Set-and-forget is how accounts rot.
The team behind this service manages serious ad spend across Australian small business accounts and has done for years. You get the benefit of every account we have already optimised: the negative keyword lists, the settings Google quietly turns on that we turn off, and the patterns that separate a profitable trades campaign from an expensive one.
Building for the long run as well? SEO lowers what you pay per enquiry over time.
Google Ads questions from local business owners.
The five things people want settled before they hand over an ad budget.
What budget do I need for Google Ads in Wollongong?+
For most local services, $500 to $1,500 a month of ad spend paid directly to Google is a workable starting range. Below that, competitive industries struggle to gather enough data to optimise. We will tell you honestly if your budget will not get results.
How fast will I see leads?+
Ads can be live within days of kickoff, and most accounts produce their first enquiries in the first fortnight. Real efficiency comes over the following two to three months as data accumulates and we tune.
Do you lock me into a contract?+
Our management is month to month after setup. If the numbers do not justify the spend, you should be free to stop, and you are.
Should I do Google Ads or SEO first?+
If you need work this month, ads. If you are building for next year, SEO. Most Wollongong businesses that can fund it start with ads for immediate enquiries while SEO compounds in the background. Facebook and Instagram sit alongside both, reaching people before they search at all.
Can you take over my existing account?+
Yes, and you keep ownership of it. We audit what is there, keep the history that helps, and fix what is leaking. You will get a plain-English list of what we found.
One team for the whole job.
