We build and manage Google Ads accounts — Search, Performance Max, Shopping and Display — for Australian businesses that want leads and revenue, not just clicks. Full visibility on spend, no lock-in contracts.
What’s included
Every Google Ads campaign type, covered.
Search, Performance Max, Shopping and Display — run as one connected Google Ads account, with every channel pulling its own weight instead of competing for the same budget.

Why Growth Digital
More than a digital agency. Your growth partner.
We’re more than a digital agency. We become an extension of your team—bringing strategy, design, development, marketing and AI together to solve problems, unlock opportunities and drive measurable business growth.
01
Results Before Everything
Every decision we make is guided by outcomes, not opinions. From websites and digital marketing to AI automation, we focus on the metrics that matter—qualified leads, conversions, revenue and long-term business growth.
“If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it.”
02
Faster Execution. Smarter Delivery.
Traditional agencies lose momentum in meetings, approvals and internal processes. We keep communication focused, decisions fast and projects moving—so more time is spent delivering results, not discussing them.
“Ideas are easy. Execution is everything.”
03
AI Built In, Not Bolted On.
AI isn’t an extra service—it’s part of how we work. We use AI and automation to streamline workflows, accelerate delivery and help your business operate more efficiently as it grows.
“The best way to predict the future is to invent it.”
04
Different by Design.
Growth Digital was built to challenge the traditional agency model. No expensive offices. No unnecessary overheads. No sales-driven culture. Just an Australian-led team supported by experienced global specialists, delivering premium digital solutions with better value, faster turnaround and greater flexibility.
“The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking that created them.”
05
Your Long-Term Growth Partner
We’re here for more than a single project. As your business evolves, we continue to optimise, improve and support your digital ecosystem—helping you adapt, scale and grow with confidence.
“Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.”
Why us for Google Ads
Built specifically for Google Ads accounts.
Certified, hands-on management
Every account is checked and adjusted weekly by a person, not left to run on autopilot — real experience across Search, Shopping and Performance Max, with no account quietly handed to a junior after the sales call.
You keep full ownership
The Google Ads account stays in your name from day one, with no agency lock on your own data. Reporting each month shows exactly what was spent, what it produced, and what changes next — in plain language, not platform jargon.

Urszula Kelly
We’re really happy with Growth Digital. They built our new website and now take care of our SEO. The team was great to work with — professional, responsive, and easy to communicate with. The website looks clean, modern, and represents us perfectly.
Calamvale Medicine
We started Google Ads with Growth Digital for our pharmacy, and it’s made a real difference. More people are finding us online, and the ads actually bring in local customers. Very happy with their work.
Georgia Smith
They helped me build and customise my Shopify website exactly the way I wanted it. I had plenty of requests and lots of back and forth along the way, and they were always so patient, responsive, and accommodating. The end result is even better than I imagined.
Werner Obermeier
I signed up with Growth Digital to replace my website with a new design after about 20 years of mixed experiences with other IT companies. Jignesh and Heath exceeded all of my expectations and I am extremely happy with the outcome and their timely responses to all issues.
David Finnimore
The team at Growth Digital went above and beyond to deliver our project on-time and on-budget under testing circumstances including pushing through non-working hours. The results speak for themselves but the effort and energy put into our project was more than expected.
Bessette Bridal
My brand required a completely new website which had many moving parts. Jignesh, Heath and their team are calm, diligent, and prompt to assist. Nothing was ever a problem — very happy with how the new site has come together.
Maylene Slater-Burns
We are a First Peoples company and required a lot of time to facilitate community consultations. This company has been so supportive and patient and accommodating; we cannot brag up about them enough.
Sandy Prasad
I have used Growth Digital to set up my medical clinic. Heath has been the main IT specialist. He has been exceptional. Extremely talented. Very efficient and very high quality service.
Alison C
They took my idea and put it into a website that I am proud to go live on. They have been a great source of support during this time and I will continue to utilise their services further as my company grows. Highly recommend.
Jane Dunning
I recently worked with Growth Digital to create the new website for my business, Best in Show Photography, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. As a fine art photography company focused on the deep emotional bond between people and their dogs, it was incredibly important to me that the website felt warm, inviting, and premium. Growth Digital delivered exactly that. They beautifully showcased my portfolio, creating a clean, elegant layout that allows the images and stories to truly shine. Beyond the stunning design, the website is highly functional, easy to navigate, and perfectly set up for clients looking to invest in lifelong family portraits. The communication throughout the project was seamless, and their attention to detail made the entire process stress-free. If you are looking for a digital agency that listens, understands your brand identity, and delivers a high-quality product, I highly recommend Growth Digital!
Courtney Atkins
Growth Digital were amazing; they were very quick and so helpful. Heath was so great to work with and put together our website, very professional and highly recommended for anyone wanting to complete a website!
LA Accounts
Was a pleasure working with Heath to create a fantastic website. He was very helpful and prompt in answering any questions that we had. We can’t recommend Growth Digital enough.

The Growth Digital team did a fantastic job fixing up my website and were great to work with – endlessly patient and accommodating. I’m very happy with the end-result. Highly recommended!
Klara Truden
Working with Growth Digital on our new website was an incredibly smooth and positive experience. The entire process was clearly explained, well-organized, and professionally guided from start to finish. The end result is excellent — we’re truly proud of our new site. The team was professional, courteous, and a pleasure to work with. A special thank you to Heath for his patience and support throughout the project. I can wholeheartedly recommend Growth Digital and would not hesitate to work with them again in the future.
Bunarong Aquarium
Growth Digital is very professional and exceeded my expectations for an updated website. Great communication with Heath through out the process and was completed in said time frame. Can highly recommend.
Peter M
Very happy, they kept in good contact with me throughout, were well priced and provided exactly what I was after. Well done Growth Digital.
Travis Mcnaught
I’d definitely recommend this company for building a website and SEO. I had dealings with Jignesh & Heath and our company couldn’t be happier with the design and layout of our website. They made the process extremely easy and smooth, with explaining and answering questions that we had throughout the process. Heath was great to deal with and always quick with his work and with prompt response to my questions.
Dealivered
We recently worked with Growth Digital to set up our website and were extremely pleased with the entire experience. From the initial consultation to the final launch, Heath was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. He took the time to understand our needs and ensured everything was running smoothly before going live.
YL
Big thank you to Heath and Jignesh! They were able to cater to my needs and freshen up my shopify store. From start to finish they were very transparent, knowledgeable and also competitive with pricing. Would definitely recommend them to anyone.
Kwong Keet Chan
This team is fantastic from first encounter to finished project. It was a pleasure to deal with Jignesh and Heath in the whole process. They were friendly, professional, patience and get things done promptly and to-the-point. We got our e-commerce store moved from Ecwid to Shopify and nothing is too big or too small to enquire or explore. More than satisfied with the result.
Lea Simmonds
Was very happy with Heaths service and setting up our Website.
Tendai Makanyanga
It was an excellent experience working with Growth Digital. Jignesh, Heath and the team were responsive to our needs setting up our business website, Tutum Mental Health. They were great teachers along the way as well. We would highly recommend this company.
Dave Sullivan
Jignesh and Heath provide an excellent service. My new website professionally reflects my product. One of my core requirements was the website needed to be easy to navigate and understand. My expectations were exceeded. All of my requests were promptly responded to and communicated back to me. I am not all that Tech savvy however, I was respected, and time was taken to explain some of the more complex issues with me. They are patient.
Leathercare Melbourne
Huge thanks to Growth Digital for an awesome website and SEO work! The team was super easy to work with, and the results speak for themselves — our site looks great, and we’re getting way more traffic. Highly recommend!
Antoinette Braybrook
Very thorough, responsive and supportive. I am new to Shopify and learning a lot from Heath. Thank you.
Karen Wykes
I’m thrilled with my new website from Growth Digital! It’s professional, easy to navigate, and loads quickly. The customer service was outstanding — every request was met with patience and efficiency. I highly recommend Growth Digital for website development!

Where we work
Different cities, different playbooks.
Melbourne
Melbourne’s retail and hospitality-heavy market swings hard with the seasons, and Google Ads costs swing right along with it — a bid strategy tuned for July won’t survive a Boxing Day sale. Retail conversion tracking (not just clicks) is where most Melbourne accounts we take over are furthest behind.
- Seasonal bid strategy
- Retail & hospitality experience
- Local Search Ads
- Google Business Profile management
- Event & promotion campaigns
- Retail conversion tracking
Sydney
Sydney regularly carries the highest cost-per-click in the country for competitive categories like finance, real estate and professional services, so every dollar has to work harder from the first click. Accounts here often span multiple locations or business units, which needs a campaign structure built for that from day one, not bolted on later.
- High-CPC category experience
- Intent-first keyword targeting
- Competitor gap analysis
- Conversion-first bidding
- Enterprise account management
- Multi-location campaign structure
Brisbane
Local intent still beats a generic national campaign in Brisbane — a properly connected Google Business Profile and Local Search Ads consistently outperform a budget spread thin across every state. It’s also a market with a lot of genuinely new businesses, so campaigns often need to build search demand rather than just capture what already exists.
- Local Search Ads
- Google Business Profile setup
- Map pack visibility
- Suburb-level targeting
- Growth-market strategy
- New-business demand building
Perth
Most enquiries from Perth’s trade and resources-adjacent businesses still start with a phone call rather than a form, so campaigns get built around call tracking as much as click-through rate. Regional and FIFO-worker audiences also behave differently to a typical metro searcher, which changes how we structure targeting and ad scheduling.
- Call tracking setup
- Trade & resources experience
- Search-first strategy
- Phone-call attribution
- B2B lead generation
- Regional & FIFO targeting
Adelaide
Adelaide typically runs lower cost-per-click than the eastern capitals, which means budgets stretch further and testing a new campaign type is usually more affordable before committing bigger spend. Health, medical and professional-services searches make up a sizeable share of local demand here.
- Lower-CPC market
- Budget-efficient testing
- Professional services demand
- Local competition mapping
- Health & medical sector experience
- Tourism & wine-region campaigns
Gold Coast
Tourism, property and hospitality dominate the Gold Coast market, with enquiry volume swinging hard around school holidays and major events — campaigns here get built around that seasonal rhythm, not a flat monthly budget. A meaningful share of demand also comes from interstate, so we don’t assume every searcher already lives locally.
- Seasonal & event-driven bidding
- Tourism & hospitality experience
- Property & real estate campaigns
- Local Search Ads
- Short-stay & accommodation ads
- Interstate visitor targeting
Canberra
Canberra’s market leans heavily corporate and government-adjacent, with longer consideration cycles and higher-value professional services keywords — campaigns are built around quality leads over raw click volume. Search intent here tends to be more specific and researched, so broad, awareness-style keywords rarely earn their spend back.
- B2B & professional services
- Longer consideration-cycle targeting
- High-value keyword strategy
- Lead-quality focus
- Corporate & consulting audiences
- Specialist search intent
Hobart
Hobart’s Google Ads auctions carry some of the lowest cost-per-click in the country, so a modest budget stretches noticeably further than the same spend in Melbourne or Sydney. Tourism, hospitality and trades drive a large share of local demand, with clear seasonal spikes around Tasmania’s festival calendar and summer visitor season.
- Lower-CPC market
- Tourism & hospitality campaigns
- Seasonal & event-driven bidding
- Trade & service lead generation
- Local Search Ads
- Statewide Tasmania targeting

Google Ads management, done properly
Google Ads can be one of the fastest ways to get in front of customers who are ready to buy, or one of the fastest ways to burn a marketing budget with nothing to show for it. The difference usually comes down to setup, tracking and how closely the account is managed week to week — which is exactly where a dedicated Google Ads agency in Australia earns its fee. Running paid and organic together compounds results faster than either channel alone — see our SEO services page if long-term organic growth is also on the table.
We manage Google Ads accounts for businesses across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, the Gold Coast, Canberra and Hobart — cost-per-click, local intent and how people prefer to enquire all shift from city to city, and the account gets built around that.

What does a Google Ads agency actually do?
Beyond setting campaigns live, PPC agency work is mostly maintenance: checking search terms for wasted spend, adjusting bids as auction prices move, writing and testing new ad copy, and keeping conversion tracking accurate as your site or checkout changes. Accounts left untouched for months almost always drift toward lower-intent, more expensive clicks — Google’s algorithms optimise for spend, not for your margins, unless someone is actively steering them.
Search, Performance Max, Shopping or Display — which one?
Search ads are the starting point for most service businesses — you’re bidding on the exact phrase someone types when they’re ready to act. Retailers with a product feed usually get more out of Google Shopping, since it shows the price and photo up front and filters out browsers before they click. Performance Max blends both, plus Display and YouTube, and works well once you have enough conversion data for Google’s automation to learn from — it tends to underperform on brand-new accounts with little history. Display on its own is rarely a lead-generation channel; it earns its place for retargeting and staying visible to people who’ve already shown interest.
What does Google Ads management cost in Australia?
Two numbers matter: your media spend (what you pay Google) and your management fee (what you pay your agency). Media spend depends entirely on your industry’s cost-per-click and how much volume you want — a local trade business and a national ecommerce store are not comparable. Management fees are usually a flat monthly rate or a percentage of spend, and either way should be laid out clearly before anything goes live, with no surprise add-ons partway through the month.
Getting tracking right before spending a dollar
If conversion tracking is wrong, every other decision built on top of it is wrong too — bid strategies, budget allocation, even which campaigns you’d cut. Before we turn anything on, we confirm that the actions being tracked are the ones that actually matter to your business (a genuine enquiry or sale, not just a page view), and that they’re firing once per conversion, not two or three times. It’s the least exciting part of Google Ads management and the part almost everyone skips — which is usually why it’s broken when we open an account for the first time.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
How much should I budget for Google Ads?
It varies by industry — a plumber bidding on “emergency plumber near me” pays a very different rate to an ecommerce brand selling $40 candles, and cost-per-click in a city like Sydney often runs well above the same keyword in a smaller regional market. As a starting point, we’ll look at your competitors’ likely cost-per-click and work backwards from the number of leads or sales you actually need each month, then tell you honestly whether that’s realistic on your budget before you spend a dollar — we’d rather talk you out of an underfunded campaign than launch one that was never going to work.
How long before Google Ads starts producing leads?
Search and Shopping campaigns can generate clicks and enquiries from day one, since you’re bidding on demand that already exists — the first week is mostly about confirming tracking is accurate rather than chasing volume. Performance Max usually needs two to four weeks of conversion data before Google’s automation starts making good decisions, so we tend to run it alongside Search rather than switching it on alone out of the gate.
Do you manage Performance Max and Shopping campaigns?
Yes — Search, Performance Max, Shopping and Display are all part of the standard account, not an upsell. If you sell physical products, we’ll also set up and maintain your product feed in Merchant Center, since a messy or out-of-date feed (wrong prices, missing GTINs, disapproved items) is one of the most common reasons Shopping campaigns quietly underperform without anyone noticing.
Can you take over an account someone else set up?
Regularly — it’s one of the more common ways clients come to us. We start with a full audit of structure, tracking, search terms and wasted spend before touching anything live, then fix what’s holding it back rather than rebuilding from scratch unless the account genuinely needs it. Historical data and Quality Score built up over time is worth keeping where it’s actually working for you.
Is there a lock-in contract for Google Ads management?
No. You own your Google Ads account regardless of who manages it — it sits under your own billing and your own Google account, not ours — and we work month to month. If the results aren’t there, you’re free to walk away with your account, your conversion data and your campaign history fully intact, no exit fees or handover delays.
How do I know the ads are actually paying off?
Proper conversion tracking tied to leads or sales, not just clicks — that’s most of the answer. You’ll get a monthly report showing exactly what each campaign and keyword produced, in plain language, so you can see cost per lead and return on ad spend without needing to log into the platform yourself or decode a wall of jargon.
Do you only work with businesses in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, the Gold Coast, Canberra and Hobart?
No — those are simply the cities where Google Ads dynamics differ enough to be worth calling out specifically (cost-per-click, local intent, how people prefer to enquire). We manage Google Ads accounts for businesses anywhere in Australia; the strategy is built around your actual market and customers, wherever they are.
