Collins Street firms, Cremorne studios, Dandenong workshops and every trade between Werribee and Ringwood are bidding on the same handful of searches. As a PPC advertising agency in Melbourne, we run those auctions for you at a flat $750+GST per month, no lock-in, in an ad account registered to your business and yours to keep. An Adelaide plumbing client came to us after 5 agencies in 10 years and moved from 13 to 41 new Google enquiries a month. The Google Partner who builds the campaigns is the one who answers your emails, not a pod and not an offshore desk.
Nobody in Melbourne sacks their agency over an ugly dashboard. They leave because a whole quarter went by and almost nothing landed in the inbox. The summary turns up on time every month, full of impressions, click-through rates and a tidy list of “optimisations”, and the one number you were waiting on (how many people actually got in touch) is nowhere on it.
If that’s where you are right now, here’s how to switch Google Ads agency without losing your account history, including what to ask for before you give notice.
Read the whole thing and you still don’t know whether the phone rang.
Someone rang you, sent the form, or tapped the number on their phone. That is what we report on.
Google Ads is the platform, and it was called AdWords before that. PPC is simply the billing model underneath it: pay-per-click. Either way it puts your business in front of someone at the exact moment they go looking. We handle Search, Shopping and Performance Max, build the pages those ads land on, and set the tracking so enquiries get counted instead of traffic.
Someone in the inner north, or out past Dandenong, searches for what you sell and the paid results sit above everything else. We build tightly themed ad groups and keep the match types disciplined, so your ad answers that search rather than chasing broad terms that were never going to convert.
Retail and product businesses get Shopping and Performance Max, so your stock appears with a photo and a price while the buyer is still deciding. An ecommerce account we manage returned 3.01x ROAS (301% return on ad spend) over 30 days.
Every service we advertise gets its own landing page, free, plus tracking that records calls, form submissions and phone-link taps. A roof-replacement page we built for a South Australian roofing account converted at 31.13%, because the page said precisely what the search had asked for.
None of it is clever. It is the short list of things that get quietly skipped everywhere else.
$750+GST a month, and it does not move when your budget does. Percentage billing pays an agency to talk you into spending more. A flat fee pays us to pull more enquiries out of the spend you already have.
The account is registered to your business, not ours. If we ever part ways it goes with you, along with every conversion, keyword and year of history sitting inside it.
Chris Lourenco builds and runs your campaigns personally. 8 years, 200+ campaigns and $3M+ in managed ad spend, with nothing quietly handed down to a junior or an offshore desk.
A conversion here means a call, a form submission or a phone-link tap. Impressions fill up a report beautifully and pay for absolutely nothing.
The Melbourne metro runs from Werribee to Pakenham and hardly any business services all of it. We point the budget at the suburbs you genuinely cover instead of paying for clicks an hour away.
Cancel whenever you like. We hold on to the work by earning next month, not by holding you to a 12-month term you regretted in week 3.
Adam Plumbing & Gas, an Adelaide plumbing client, after 5 agencies in 10 years: new Google enquiries a month climbing to 41 by month 4.
A South Australian roofing account we manage: the roof-replacement campaign and its own landing page, holding $75.79 per enquiry.
Headskinz, an ecommerce account we manage: ROAS of 3.01x, a 301% return on ad spend, measured over 30 days.
A South Australian roofing and guttering account we manage, October 2025 to July 2026, running at roughly $230 a day. We have taken the client’s name off it. Everything else is exactly as Google reports it. The Google Partner who built that account is the person who’d build yours.
Nothing had gone wrong. The work coming in had simply overtaken what they could physically get to:
Most of the gap opens up in how the deal is structured, well before a single ad goes live.
Most agencies: A slice of every dollar you put through the account
PPC Agency Melbourne: A flat $750+GST a month, whatever you spend
Most agencies: A setup fee on top, often $600+GST
PPC Agency Melbourne: $0 setup, tracking and analytics included
Most agencies: Whoever in the pod has capacity that week
PPC Agency Melbourne: A Google Partner working in the account directly
Most agencies: Your existing site, or $500+GST a page to fix it
PPC Agency Melbourne: A free landing page for every service you advertise
Most agencies: Opened in the agency name
PPC Agency Melbourne: Registered to you, and it stays with you
Most agencies: Impressions, clicks and a note about “optimisations”
PPC Agency Melbourne: Tracked enquiries: calls, form submissions, phone-link taps
Most agencies: Presence or interest, the default nobody bothers changing
PPC Agency Melbourne: Presence only, so your budget follows people in Melbourne
Most agencies: A minimum term, agreed up front
PPC Agency Melbourne: Month to month, cancel when you want
Send us the account and we will go through it along with your market, then give you a straight answer either way. It costs nothing and there is nothing to sign.
