Why choose MarketInc

Why local businesses choose our Google Ads agency in Brisbane

Many small business owners come to us after paying for Google Ads that brought in plenty of clicks but very few customers. A good Google Ads agency fixes that by focusing on three things: reaching the right people, tracking every lead and being completely open about where your money goes. Here is how we handle each one.

01

Google Ads targeting that reaches the right audience

We build every Google Ads campaign around your target audience: the services you sell, the suburbs you cover and the hours you can take work. Specific keywords, negative keywords and location targeting keep your ads in front of people who are ready to buy. Your budget goes on real potential customers, not random clicks from across the state.

02

Conversion tracking that proves which ads bring quality leads

Conversion tracking is set up before any ad goes live, so every call, form and sale is counted. You can see which ad campaigns bring in high quality leads and which ones need work. That data guides every budget decision, so your spend keeps moving toward the qualified leads that become paying customers.

03

Flat management fees and no long lock-in contracts

You pay a flat monthly management fee, not a percentage of your ad spend, so our fee doesn’t rise when your budget does. After the first three months you move to rolling monthly terms. Your Google Ads account always stays in your name, with full access to your data.

Google advises advertisers to target the locations where their customers are, not simply where the business is based. See Google’s location targeting guidance.

Local Google Ads targeting

Local Google Ads for every Brisbane suburb you serve

Most people looking for a local service type a suburb name or “near me” into Google search, and the businesses at the top of the page win most of the calls. Our Google Ads specialists set up your search campaigns so your Google Search Ads appear for those local searches, in the suburbs where you actually want more work. If you also want to show up on Google Maps without paying for every click, our local SEO work can run alongside your paid ads.

  • Target the suburbs and regions you service, and exclude the ones you don’t.
  • Write ad copy for the specific services you want more work for.
  • Run your ads during business hours, with a click-to-call button on mobile.
  • Link your Google Business Profile so your address can show with your ads.
  • Add negative keywords so your budget isn’t wasted on irrelevant searches.

Google Ads services

Google Ads management services for Brisbane businesses

Our Google Ads management services cover every campaign type a local business or online store needs, across the Google Search Network, video and the Google Display Network. We recommend the right mix of ad campaigns based on your business goals, your target audience and your advertising budget. Most local businesses start with search ads, then add remarketing or Performance Max once the leads are flowing.

Google Search Ads for local services

Text ads that appear at the top of Google search results when people search for your services. For most service based businesses, Google Search Ads are the fastest way to start generating leads, because you reach people at the exact moment they need you. We choose the keywords, write the ad copy and manage your bids so every click has the best chance of becoming a customer.

Google Shopping Ads for online stores

Shopping ads show your products with a photo, price and store name above the search results. For online stores, Google Shopping Ads are one of the most cost effective ways to drive online sales and bring buyers straight to your product pages. We organise your product feed and bids so your best sellers get the most visibility.

Performance Max campaigns

Performance Max campaigns run your ads across Google Search, Maps, YouTube, Gmail and the Google Display Network from one campaign. They suit online stores and businesses that already have good conversion data. We set them up with sensible controls so your budget stays focused on leads and sales, not cheap placements.

Remarketing and retargeting campaigns

Remarketing, also called retargeting, shows your ads to website visitors who left without calling or buying. It keeps your brand in front of potential customers while they compare their options. For higher-value jobs and products, it often brings people back when they are ready to decide.

Display and Google video ads

Display ads on websites and apps, and video ads on YouTube, help more people in your area learn about your business before they are ready to search. They build brand awareness at a low cost. They work best alongside your search ads, not instead of them.

Landing pages that lift conversion rates

Every ad should lead to a page about the service people searched for, with your phone number and a short form. Whether you need one landing page or a new website, our landing page design team builds pages that turn more clicks into leads. A relevant landing page also helps your Quality Score, which can lower your cost per click.

Our process

How our Brisbane Google Ads management works, step by step

Our Google Ads management follows the same clear process for every client, whether you are launching your first Google Ads campaign or moving from another agency. Google Ads was once known as Google AdWords, and many older campaigns still run on settings from those days. That is why we always start by looking at what you already have before we change anything.

Free Google Ads campaign review

We review your current Google Ads campaign, or your goals if you are new to Google Ads, and show you where your budget is going and what we would change.

Keyword research and competitor checks

We find the specific keywords your customers use, check search volume and competition, and look at what local competitors are advertising. Your money then goes on the searches most likely to turn into sales.

Google Ads campaign setup

We create ads, write the ad copy, set your location targeting and build a campaign around each service. Call tracking and Google Analytics are connected so every result is measured from day one.

Landing pages and tracking checks

We make sure your landing pages match each ad, load quickly on mobile and make it easy to call or get in touch. Every conversion is tested before launch.

Weekly Google Ads optimisation

Our team reviews campaign performance every week, adds negative keywords, adjusts bids and moves budget toward the ad campaigns that are working. Small, regular improvements like these keep your cost per lead coming down.

Monthly reports and next steps

Each month you get a clear report on leads, cost per lead and return on investment. We explain what changed, what worked and what we are doing next to help your business grow.

Who we work with

Google advertising in Brisbane for trades and service based businesses

We run Google Ads for small businesses and growing companies across a range of industries, from trades to healthcare and professional services. Each Google Ads campaign is built around the services your customers search for most and the jobs that are worth the most to you.

Reporting

Google Ads reporting that shows every lead and what it cost

You will always know what your PPC campaigns are doing. Each month we show you how many phone calls and form submissions came in, what each lead cost and which Google Ads campaign brought them in. Where your systems allow, we also track sales and revenue, so you can see your real return on investment.

We explain the numbers in plain English, so you get a full picture of what is working and which ad campaigns get more budget next. Paid search works best as part of a wider digital marketing strategy, and we can show you how it fits with search engine optimisation for long-term organic traffic.

What clients say

What our Google Ads clients say about working with MarketInc

Three of the businesses behind the numbers on this page, in their own words. Each came to us with Google Ads campaigns that were spending money without bringing in enough work. Names are kept private at the owners’ request.

★★★★★

MarketInc found our storm damage and planned restoration work sharing one campaign, and our restoration quotes had quietly halved. Eight weeks after they split the campaigns, cost per booked job was down 43 per cent and full replacement quote forms had more than doubled.

Owner, Roof Restoration Business
★★★★★

Our termite and general pest campaigns were sharing a budget and termite leads had dried up without us noticing. Six weeks after MarketInc split the campaigns and fixed call tracking, termite bookings had tripled and cost per booked inspection was down 42 per cent.

Owner, Multi-Branch Pest Control Company
★★★★★

A generic agency had us spending six thousand a month and barely breaking even. MarketInc rebuilt our Google Ads campaigns inside our own login, and we now see around three new patients a day.

Straight answers

Frequently asked questions about Google Ads in Brisbane

Answers to the questions local business owners ask before they start with Google Ads.

How much does Google Ads cost in Brisbane?

Google Ads cost has two parts: your ad spend, which you pay directly to Google, and our management fee. Our flat monthly fee usually sits between A$1,500 and A$4,000, depending on how many ad campaigns and locations you run. For your Google Ads budget, we recommend starting from A$2,000 a month for a single service, and more if you want to cover several services or regions. Your fee doesn’t rise just because your ad spend does.

What is included in your Google Ads management services?

Our ongoing management of your PPC campaigns covers keyword research, campaign setup, ad copy, conversion tracking, landing page advice, weekly optimisation and monthly reports. You also get a dedicated Google Ads manager who explains what is happening in plain English. If you already run Google Ads, we start by reviewing your current Google Ads campaign and keep what is working.

Is Google AdWords the same as Google Ads?

Yes. Google Ads was known as Google AdWords until July 2018, when Google renamed it. If you are searching for an AdWords specialist or Google AdWords management in Brisbane, it is exactly the same service. If your campaigns were built in the AdWords days, a review will show which old settings are costing you money.

How quickly will Google Ads bring in leads?

A well set up Google Ads campaign usually brings in calls within the first few weeks, and often in the first week. Results become more stable after 30 to 45 days, once Google has enough data to optimise your bids.

Should I hire a Google Ads agency or a freelancer in Brisbane?

A freelancer or Google Ads consultant can suit a small business with one simple campaign, or a one-off review. A digital marketing agency suits ongoing management, where you need a Google Ads team covering tracking, ad copy, landing pages and regular reports. Either way, make sure your Google Ads account stays in your name.

Do you work with small businesses and online stores?

Yes. Most of our clients are small and medium businesses, from local trades to online stores. We focus your budget on the services, products and areas that bring the best return, so a small business budget is spent where it makes the most difference. For online stores, we combine Google Shopping and Performance Max to drive sales.

Do you also run Facebook ads and remarketing?

Yes. We run remarketing campaigns through Google Ads, and Meta ads on Facebook and Instagram for businesses that want to reach customers on social media as well as on search engines. Remarketing is especially useful for higher-value jobs, where customers compare a few businesses before they decide.

Is Google Ads or SEO better for my business?

PPC advertising like Google Ads can put you on the first page of Google within days, while search engine optimisation builds organic traffic over several months. Many business owners use Google Ads for leads now and SEO for long-term search visibility, because the two together cover both the paid and organic results on search engines and make your digital marketing work harder.

Do I have to sign a lock-in contract?

There are no long lock-in contracts. Our standard term is an initial three months, then rolling monthly with 30 days notice. If we haven’t shown a measurable improvement in cost per lead within the first 90 days, you are free to leave.

Is MarketInc based in Brisbane?

No. MarketInc is a digital marketing agency with its head office in Sydney, and we manage Google Ads campaigns for businesses across Queensland and the rest of Australia. If you have been searching for a Google Ads agency near you, working with us online is simple: setup, monthly reports and strategy calls all happen by phone, email or video, and your account manager is always easy to reach.
