Google Ads Management Services in Australia
Get in front of buyers at the exact moment they search, and pay only for the clicks that count.
Most Google Ads agencies sell you a busy dashboard. Impressions, clicks, a rising quality score. None of that is the point. Leads are the point. Sales are.
EG Digital is a Melbourne-based Google Ads company that treats the platform as a revenue channel, not a monthly click report. We plan, build, and manage Google Ads accounts end to end, and we tie every dollar of ad spend to one number you actually care about: qualified enquiries from people ready to buy. When a campaign is not paying its way, we tell you and we fix it, rather than quietly letting the budget burn on search terms that will never convert.
We are part of Eloma Group, so your Google Ads sits next to web development, SEO, Microsoft and cloud, custom software, and cyber security under one roof. That matters more than it sounds. The landing page your ads point to, the conversion tracking behind it, and the systems that catch the lead are usually where campaigns leak money. When the same team runs all of it, the leaks get sealed instead of blamed on someone else's developer queue.
One partner. One team that plans the campaign, writes the ads, builds the page, and reads the numbers back to you in plain language.

Why hire EG Digital as your Google Ads company in Australia
We report on revenue, not clicks
A click is a cost, not a result. Our reporting starts with enquiries, leads, and the revenue they turn into, then works back to the cost per lead and the return on ad spend that produced them. If a report leads with impressions and click-through rate and buries the conversions, it is hiding the part that matters. Ours puts the part that matters first.
100% of your budget goes to Google
Every dollar you budget for ads goes to Google. We do not take a cut of your media spend or hide a markup inside it. You pay us a clear management fee for the strategy, the build, the optimisation, and the reporting, and you see exactly where the ad money went. No opaque commissions, no vague "media handling" line, and no incentive to spend more of your money just to inflate our fee.
One team for ads, landing pages, and tracking
You get a paid media strategist, campaign specialists, copywriters, and developers who work together, not a single account manager forwarding your questions to people you never meet. Because EG Digital also builds websites and runs the underlying cloud and tracking, the landing page fix or conversion-tracking repair that usually waits weeks elsewhere gets done in days. That is often the difference between a Google Ads campaign that converts and one that quietly wastes half its budget.
No lock-in, no guesswork
No 12-month contracts. No "leads guaranteed in 30 days," because anyone promising a fixed result before seeing your account is either guessing or about to waste your money. We earn the renewal each month by moving your numbers. A short minimum to let campaigns gather data and settle is fair. A long lock-in is not, and we do not use them.
Our Google Ads services
Google Ads is more than picking a few keywords and writing a headline. A modern account runs across several campaign types, each doing a different job in your buyer's journey. We manage all of them, and we manage them as one account rather than a pile of disconnected campaigns.
Search campaigns
Search ads put you at the top of the results page the moment someone types what you sell. This is the highest-intent inventory in paid advertising, and it is also the easiest to waste if the account is loose. We build tight keyword themes, write ads that match the searcher's intent, add the negative keywords that stop your budget bleeding into irrelevant searches, and prune the terms that spend without converting. The goal is simple: fewer wasted clicks, more of the right ones, and a cost per lead you can build a business on.
Google Shopping campaigns
For online stores, Shopping is usually where the return lives. We optimise your product feed, structure campaigns so your best-margin products get the budget they deserve, and target shoppers who are ready to buy rather than just browse. Because EG Digital also builds and hosts e-commerce stores, the feed errors and tracking gaps that quietly wreck Shopping campaigns get fixed at the source instead of worked around.
Performance Max campaigns
Performance Max spreads a single campaign across Search, Shopping, Display, YouTube, Gmail, and Maps, with Google's automation deciding where your budget goes. Handled carelessly, it becomes a black box that spends your money where you cannot see it. We handle it deliberately: strong creative assets, clean audience signals, the right conversion goals, and the account structure that keeps Performance Max from cannibalising your branded search. Automation does the placement. We keep it pointed at profit.
Display campaigns
Display keeps your brand in front of the right audience across millions of sites, apps, and videos, and it is where remarketing does its best work. We use it to re-engage people who visited your site but did not act, and to build awareness with audiences that match your best customers. Creative and targeting decide whether display works or just burns impressions, so we handle both rather than pointing a generic banner at everyone.
YouTube campaigns
YouTube is the second-largest search engine and one of the biggest reach platforms in Australia, with over 16 million active users. We run video campaigns that build awareness, drive consideration, and remarket to warm audiences, with targeting tuned to where your buyer is in their journey. We handle the targeting, the placement, and the measurement so the spend is accountable rather than a branding indulgence.
Remarketing and retargeting
Most people do not convert on the first visit. Remarketing brings them back. We build audiences from the people who viewed a product, started a form, or abandoned a cart, then serve them the right message across Search, Display, and YouTube to chase the sale rather than write it off. It is usually some of the cheapest revenue in the account, and most businesses leave it on the table.
Google Ads audits
If you already run Google Ads and suspect the budget is leaking, an audit tells you where. We review your account structure, keywords and negatives, bidding, conversion tracking, ad copy, and landing pages, then hand you a documented read on what is working, what is wasting money, and what to fix first. You get the findings whether or not you go on to work with us.
Who we run Google Ads for
Small businesses
You need enquiries coming in without a budget that swallows your year. We build lean, conversion-focused Google Ads campaigns for small businesses across Australia, with clear pricing and no padding, and we start where your money works hardest rather than spreading it thin across every campaign type at once. Start with what makes sense now, prove it pays, then scale.
E-commerce stores
Online stores live and die on return on ad spend. We run Shopping, Search, Performance Max, and remarketing campaigns built to sell, with product feeds optimised, high-intent shoppers targeted, and the checkout drop-off chased with remarketing rather than written off. Because EG Digital also builds and hosts stores, the feed problems and tracking gaps that quietly wreck e-commerce campaigns get fixed at the source.
B2B companies
B2B buyers research before they ever talk to sales, and the lead has to be qualified or it wastes everyone's time. We run Search campaigns that reach decision-makers, generate leads worth chasing, and connect to your CRM so nothing slips through. Longer sales cycles and multiple stakeholders are normal territory for us, and we tune the account to cost per qualified lead rather than raw volume.
Established and growth businesses
For bigger budgets, multiple campaign types, and higher stakes, you need a team that can run Google Ads at scale and stay accountable for the number. We bring the strategy, the tracking discipline, and the reporting to manage spend across Search, Shopping, Performance Max, Display, and YouTube without losing the plot, with one partner answerable for the whole thing.
How we work
Audit and strategy
We start by auditing your existing account, or your market if you are starting fresh, and we look at where your competitors are spending and what they are bidding on. You get a documented strategy with a recommended budget split, target metrics, and a clear read on what good looks like before we spend a cent.
Tracking and setup
Before the ads go live, we get the measurement right: conversion tracking, call tracking, GA4, and the landing-page checks that decide whether a click can actually convert. This is the step most accounts get wrong, and it is the reason so many businesses cannot tell which half of their budget is working.
Build and launch
We build the campaigns, research the keywords and negatives, write the ads, set the bidding strategy, and launch across the campaign types that fit your goals. You see the structure and the reasoning, not a black box.
Optimisation
This is where the money is made or lost. We cut wasted spend, test ad variations, refine keywords, targeting, and bids, and shift budget toward what converts. Google Ads is not set-and-forget, and we do not treat it that way.
Measure, report, refine
You get monthly reporting tied to leads and revenue, in plain language, with next month's priorities set against the data. The account gets sharper over time, and so do the results.
What Google Ads cost in Australia
Honest answer: it depends on your industry, your competition, and how much you are spending on clicks, and any company quoting a flat number before seeing your account is guessing.
For context, the average cost per click in Australia sits around $2 to $4 for search, while competitive categories such as legal, finance, and insurance run much higher, often $10 or more and sometimes far past that. Most Australian SMBs budget somewhere between $1,500 and $5,000 a month in ad spend to see consistent lead flow, and more in competitive categories. Below roughly $1,500 a month, many industries simply do not generate enough clicks to gather the data needed to optimise well.
Management fees are separate from that ad spend, and this is the distinction that trips people up. The ad spend is what you pay Google for the clicks. The management fee is what you pay us to make those clicks profitable. Most Australian SMBs pay between $1,000 and $5,000 per month in management fees, charged either as a flat monthly retainer or as a percentage of ad spend, typically in the range of 10% to 20%, with the percentage often dropping as budgets grow. A one-off account setup or audit is sometimes scoped separately from the monthly management.
Two things worth knowing. First, an unmanaged account typically wastes a large share of its budget on the wrong searches, so a management fee often pays for itself in recovered spend before it does anything else. Second, be wary of any agency charging a high percentage of your spend with no cap, because that model rewards them for spending more of your money whether it works or not. We keep the incentive pointed at your results.

Frequently asked questions
How much do Google Ads cost in Australia?
There are two costs and they are different. The first is ad spend, which is what you pay Google for the clicks. In Australia that averages roughly $2 to $4 per click for search, rising well past $10 in competitive categories such as legal and finance, and most SMBs budget between $1,500 and $5,000 a month to produce steady lead flow. The second is the management fee, which is what you pay an agency to run the account. That typically runs $1,000 to $5,000 a month, charged as a flat retainer or as roughly 10% to 20% of ad spend, with the percentage often falling as budgets grow. A one-off setup fee is common on top. The honest version is that price tracks your industry and your competition more than any fixed tier, so we quote from an audit of your actual account rather than a number off a menu.
Are Google Ads worth it for small businesses?
Yes, when the account is targeted and managed properly, and no when it is left on autopilot. Google Ads puts you in front of people at the exact moment they are searching for what you sell, which is why it converts better than most channels, and you control the budget down to the day. The catch is that a loose account wastes a real share of its spend on searches that it will never buy, which is where the reputation for "Google Ads not working" usually comes from. For a small business, the smart approach is to start with a focused budget on your highest-intent keywords, prove it pays, then scale, rather than spreading thin across every campaign type at once. Done that way, it is one of the fastest ways to generate enquiries a small business has.
How long does it take to see results from Google Ads?
Faster than SEO, but not instant. Google Ads can drive clicks the day the campaign goes live, and many accounts see early leads within the first two to four weeks. The meaningful results, a stable cost per lead and a return on ad spend you can plan around, usually take two to three months, because the campaigns need data to learn from and we need real conversions to optimise against. A brand-new account with no history takes a little longer to settle than one we are improving. We would rather set that expectation honestly than promise overnight numbers we cannot hit.
Should I hire a freelancer or a Google Ads agency?
It depends on your budget and how much is riding on the outcome. A freelancer can be cheaper and works fine for a single, simple campaign, but you are relying on one person's availability and one skill set, and the landing page, tracking, and reporting often fall outside what they cover. A Google Ads agency gives you a team: strategy, campaign management, copywriting, and the developers to fix the page and the tracking, with someone accountable when something breaks. With EG Digital you also get web, cloud, and software under the same roof, so the parts of a campaign that usually get handed off to a third party are handled in-house. For anything beyond a basic, low-stakes campaign, that integration is where the results come from.
Do you take a percentage of my ad spend?
Only if that is the model that suits your account, and never as a hidden markup. You can be billed a flat monthly retainer or a percentage of spend, whichever fits, and either way 100% of your ad budget goes to Google. We spell the fee out in a scope document before you commit, and we do not use uncapped percentage models that reward us for spending more of your money regardless of whether it works.
Can you audit and take over an existing Google Ads account?
Yes, and it is one of the most common ways clients start with us. We audit your current account, show you where it is leaking and what is worth keeping, then rebuild what needs rebuilding and leave the rest. You keep ownership of your account and your history throughout. You get the audit findings whether or not you go on to work with us.
