What is Google Ads management?

Google Ads is the fastest way to put your business in front of high-intent buyers, people actively searching for what you offer, at the exact moment they're ready to act. But the platform is built to spend your budget efficiently for Google, not for you. Without tight targeting, disciplined negative keywords, and proper conversion tracking, most accounts waste 30–50% of their spend on clicks that never convert.

Adcraft is a Wollongong-based Google Ads agency. We build, manage, and optimise pay-per-click campaigns for service businesses across the Illawarra and Greater Sydney, turning every dollar of ad spend into measurable, attributable revenue. No vanity metrics, no lock-in contracts, and no hostage data. Just qualified leads at a cost-per-acquisition you can scale with confidence.

What's included

Every engagement covers the six fundamentals that decide whether your ad spend pays back or evaporates:

  1. 01

    Account audit and setup

    A forensic review of your account, or a clean build, with conversion tracking validated and wasted spend stopped on day one.

  2. 02

    Keyword and competitor research

    We surface the high-intent terms your buyers actually use, including the long-tail phrases your competitors miss.

  3. 03

    Campaign architecture

    Tightly themed Search campaigns, Performance Max where it fits, and Display retargeting, structured by buyer intent.

  4. 04

    Conversion tracking and analytics

    Calls, form fills, and bookings attributed across Google Ads, GA4, and your CRM, so you see which keyword earned which dollar.

  5. 05

    Bid strategy and budget optimisation

    Smart bidding configured against real conversion goals, with negative keyword lists pruned weekly.

  6. 06

    Reporting and ongoing optimisation

    Plain-English monthly reports on what worked, what didn't, and what's changing next.

Our process

We follow a disciplined four-stage process that turns ad spend into a predictable lead engine:

  1. 01

    Discovery and audit

    We start with your goals, your unit economics, and your existing account, delivered as a written audit and a strategy session.

  2. 02

    Strategy and build

    Campaign architecture, ad copy, conversion tracking, and a landing-page review, all documented before anything goes live.

  3. 03

    Launch and test

    The first 30 days focus on gathering data: adjusting bids, pruning negative keywords, and rotating creative.

  4. 04

    Optimise and scale

    Once the data is talking, we scale what works, supported by monthly reporting and quarterly strategy reviews.

02 / FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Clair Higgins, Adcraft Studio

For most service businesses in Wollongong and the Illawarra, a realistic starting budget is $1,500–$3,000 per month in ad spend, plus management. Smaller budgets struggle to gather enough conversion data to optimise against. We tailor the recommendation to your industry, competition, and goals during your free audit.

Most accounts begin returning qualified leads within the first 30 days. Performance compounds from month two as the data sharpens, negative keywords accumulate, and bid strategies stabilise. The biggest gains come from disciplined optimisation over 90 days and beyond.

You can, and many business owners start that way, but the platform is designed to spend your money efficiently for Google, not for you. Without tight keyword targeting, negative-keyword discipline, and proper conversion tracking, most self-managed accounts waste 30–50% of their budget on clicks that never convert.

Google Ads is paid, instant, and stops when you stop paying. SEO is organic, slower to build, and compounds over time. We usually recommend running both: Google Ads delivers leads while your SEO is being built, and SEO gradually reduces your dependency on paid traffic.

Yes. We manage Google Ads for businesses across the Illawarra, including Shellharbour, Kiama, Dapto, Albion Park and the northern suburbs up to Helensburgh. Location targeting is set to the areas you service, whether that is one suburb or the whole region.
