Are you ready for paid Google Ads?
Running ads before your foundations are ready is the fastest way to burn cash. We run every new client through this 4-point checklist before launching any campaign.
A clear, fast-loading mobile website
Google Ads traffic goes straight to your landing page. If the site is slow or hard to read on a mobile screen, visitors leave before calling, and your budget is wasted.
Dedicated call and form conversion tracking
Every tap on your phone button or enquiry form must be tracked as a conversion so Google's bidding algorithm knows which keywords produce real customers.
Ability to answer customer calls quickly
When someone clicks a Google ad for an emergency or urgent service, they call immediately. If you miss the call, they tap the next competitor on the list.
Clear service territory & realistic ad budget
Targeting the suburbs where you actually do your best work, with an ad budget (typically $600–$1,000/mo) sufficient to compete in your category.

We operate under a strict code of advertising ethics for Australian trades and small businesses:
Your card is linked directly to Google
Google issues tax invoices directly to your business ABN. We never act as a financial middleman.
You own the Google Ads account forever
The campaign history, negative keyword libraries, and conversion assets belong to you. If you ever leave, you keep everything.
Weekly search term hygiene
We actively filter out negative keywords (e.g., 'free', 'jobs', 'DIY', 'course') so you never pay for clicks from people who aren't hiring.
Plain-English monthly reporting
No 30-page vanity reports. Just three core numbers: what you spent, how many phone calls you received, and how many form enquiries arrived.
Common questions about Google Ads
Everything you need to know about search ads for your trade or local business.
Why is ad spend paid directly to Google?
We believe in 100% transparency. Many traditional agencies bill you one lump sum, quietly pocket 40% of your advertising budget as hidden markup, and deliver fewer clicks. With AGX, your credit card pays Google directly for exact search clicks at cost. You only pay our fixed management fee for our work.
How much should I spend on Google Ads each month?
For most Melbourne trades and local service businesses, we recommend starting with $600 to $1,000 per month (approx. $20–$35/day) paid to Google. This generates enough search volume across your target suburbs to generate steady enquiry calls.
Why is there a $300 setup fee and 3-month minimum?
Proper campaign setup requires building keyword structures, negative keyword filters (to block irrelevant clicks), ad copywriting, call extension tracking, and Google Analytics conversion wiring. Month 1 gathers search data, Month 2 trims waste, and Month 3 scales the best-performing keywords.
Can you guarantee a set number of phone calls or leads?
No honest marketer can guarantee an exact number of leads or cost-per-lead, because auction click costs fluctuate and conversions depend on how quickly you answer the phone. What we guarantee is rigorous keyword targeting, continuous waste elimination, and complete monthly transparency.
What about Meta (Facebook / Instagram) or TikTok Ads?
Google Ads captures people actively searching for a solution right now ('emergency plumber near me'). Meta and TikTok ads are great for visual trades (landscaping, renovations, detailing) where showing high-quality before-and-after clips creates demand. We quote social ads individually based on your goals.
