Tracked conversions combine phone calls, website form submissions and website phone-link taps.
A phone-link tap records intent; a confirmed conversation needs separate verification.

Planning a campaign means looking at the management, the advertising budget and the destination customers will reach.
A business with a suitable website and a usable account history has a different starting scope from a business preparing its first campaign.
I review those requirements before recommending a proposal.
The published management fee is clear, while the media budget is chosen for your services and business priorities.
Your landing page is included, with no setup fees or hidden fees, and you remain in full control of your Google Ads account.
| Cost | How it's priced | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Google Ads management | $900 + GST a month | The agreed campaign management and reporting service |
| Google media spend | A separate budget you approve | Advertising charges paid directly to Google |
| Campaign landing page | Included in management | A suitable page and enquiry journey for the offer |
| Standalone Google Ads audit | Quoted individually | A defined review of an existing account and its measurement |
Set the media budget around a useful question
I start by understanding the service you're advertising, the value of suitable work and the area you can serve.
Keyword and competitor observations help establish what the account needs to test, with any cost estimates labelled as estimates.
A focused service offer makes it easier to see which searches and destinations deserve the available budget.
Your capacity to respond to enquiries and deliver the work also belongs in that decision.
I'll explain the proposed starting amount and the reasoning behind it, then you decide what you want to commit.
As data becomes available, the next budget decision can use observed spend and customer actions.
Understand the measures used to judge the spend
An advertising report can describe several different outcomes, so the definition matters when comparing costs.
A phone tap, a completed enquiry and booked work represent different stages in the customer journey.
I keep those stages visible and use a matching cost and action basis for cost-per-action calculations.
If a sale or booking value is available from reliable business records, it can add useful context to the advertising data.
Your commercial decision can then consider enquiry quality and the work actually booked.
| Measure | Meaning | Useful context |
|---|---|---|
| Cost per click | Advertising cost divided by recorded ad clicks | Shows the cost of attracting a visit |
| Cost per tracked action | Advertising cost divided by the stated tracked actions | Read alongside the action types and reporting basis |
| Qualified enquiries | Enquiries your business confirms fit the service | Requires feedback from your enquiry handling |
| Booked-work value | Value confirmed in your own business records | Helps assess the advertising alongside delivery costs |
Compare management quotes on their actual scope
Look for a clear explanation of who owns the account, who pays Google and how changes to the budget are agreed.
Check whether a proposal includes account setup, landing-page work, tracking implementation or separate project charges.
The reporting should identify the customer actions being counted and give you access to the underlying account.
Ask how search terms, location settings and destination pages inform ongoing decisions.
I'll set out my proposed responsibilities and the information I need from you in writing.
You can then compare the management service on its work and terms as well as its headline fee.
List recurring costs
Separate management, media and any approved ongoing services so the monthly commitment is clear.
List starting work
Identify the account review, page requirements and measurement work needed before advertising starts.
Agree the decision points
Confirm how reporting, business feedback and proposed budget changes will be reviewed.
Choose the starting scope that fits your account
If you're considering advertising for the first time, I can review the website and proposed service before recommending a campaign scope.
If you're already spending with Google, an account review helps identify what to preserve and what needs attention.
A standalone audit is available when you want a defined diagnosis before deciding on management.
If your immediate priority is improving the website's offer or enquiry journey, a website project may be the appropriate first investment.
Share the website and account situation through the planner, including any budget preferences you already have.
Does the $900 monthly fee include the ad spend?
The $900 + GST monthly fee is for management. Your media budget is separate and paid directly to Google through your business's advertising account.
Is there a fixed minimum Google media budget?
I recommend a starting budget after reviewing the services, search opportunity and available destination pages. The agreed amount reflects your business priorities and what you want to commit.
Will I need to pay for a new landing page?
A campaign landing page is included in the $900 + GST monthly management fee. I prepare its content, mobile layout and enquiry journey around your offer.
How are changes to my advertising spend agreed?
I'll explain the proposed change, the evidence behind it and the budget implication for you to review. Your business remains responsible for choosing the advertising budget.
Are there setup fees or a lock-in contract?
There are no setup fees, no hidden fees and no lock-in contract. You remain in full control of your Google Ads account, with the management scope confirmed in writing before you start.
Can I compare Google Ads and SEO before choosing?
Yes, I can review which channel fits your services, website and priorities. Google Ads management is $900 + GST a month plus media, while ongoing SEO is $1,500 + GST a month.
