Most local marketing spends money without anyone checking what came back

Most Wollongong business owners we talk to are paying for at least one of these. A website that looks fine but doesn’t bring in work. Google Ads spending money on clicks that never call. A Google listing nobody looks after. Or an agency report full of impressions and click-through rates that never says how many enquiries came in.

Marketing only matters if it turns into calls, forms and booked jobs. That’s what we build, and that’s what we report on.

One roof

Most agencies run your ads. We also fix the page they land on.

Most marketing agencies don’t touch your website. When the ads aren’t converting, they send you recommendations and wait, while the budget keeps spending against a page nobody’s fixing. You end up paying an agency monthly and a web developer hourly, each pointing at the other.

We build websites. That’s the main thing we do. So when the data says a page isn’t converting, the fix happens that week, by the same person, with no separate invoice.

Questions

Straight answers

Websites start from $800. Google Ads management is a flat fee from $500 a month, with your ad spend paid directly to Google. SEO starts from $500 a month. You’ll get a fixed number before anything starts.

No. Everything is month to month.

No. Plenty of clients start with just a website or just Google Ads. We’ll tell you what to fix first.

Michael, who designs, builds and runs your marketing. No account managers relaying messages.

Google Ads can bring enquiries within days of going live, with meaningful optimisation after four to six weeks. SEO and Google listing work usually takes a few months to build.

You do. Your ads account and its history stay with you if you leave, and the website is yours.

Below roughly $500 a month in ad spend, most local campaigns don’t get enough data to optimise. If that’s you, we’ll tell you to put the money into your website and Google listing first.

We’re Illawarra-based and most clients are local, but we work with businesses Australia-wide.
