Why Google Ads budgets leak
Loose keywords, missing conversion tracking and bidding on searches you already rank for quietly waste 20–40% of most Google Ads budgets.
Most businesses running Google Ads waste 20–40% of their spend without realising it. Not through one big mistake, but small ones that add up every month.
- Clicks that can turn into enquiries
- Clicks that leak away, through the three gaps below
Paying for clicks that never call
Broad keywords and missing negative keywords let unrelated searches eat the budget, and automated bidding runs without proper conversion data.
No idea which ads make money
Without call tracking and enhanced conversions, profitable campaigns get cut and losing ones keep running.
Paying for clicks you’d get free
When paid and organic aren’t managed together, you can end up bidding on searches where you already rank at the top.

How much does PPC management cost in Melbourne?
We charge $450 setup plus $500 a month for management, with no lock-in contract and no percentage-of-spend fee. Your Google Ads budget is separate and paid directly to Google. We review your account free before you commit.
How much should I spend on Google Ads?
It depends on your industry, competition and goals. We recommend at least $1,000–$2,000 a month in ad spend to gather meaningful data. Typical Melbourne budgets run $2,000–$5,000 a month, scaled up once return on ad spend is proven.
How quickly will we see results from PPC?
Traffic starts as soon as campaigns are live. The first two to four weeks gather data on which keywords, ads and audiences convert. By month two there’s enough data for meaningful optimisation, and most campaigns reach peak efficiency around months three to four.
Do I keep my Google Ads account?
Yes. We build campaigns in your own Google Ads account, which you own and control. You can see every campaign, ad, keyword and dollar spent, and if you ever move on, the account and its history stay with you.
Should I run PPC if I already do SEO?
Usually, yes. PPC gives immediate visibility while SEO builds long-term rankings. We manage both together: when your organic ranking for a term is strong enough, we reduce or pause paid spend on it and move the budget to terms where organic hasn’t caught up.
Do you manage Google Shopping and Performance Max?
Yes. We handle product feed optimisation, Shopping campaign structure, product-level bidding and Merchant Center. Performance Max can work well with strong conversion data, good creative and the right audience signals; we set it up with tight asset groups and exclusions so the automation works for you.
