Flat fee from $800+GST/moNo lock-in contractsAdelaide-based

Who provides Google Ads management in Adelaide?

Loudachris Digital Marketing is an Adelaide-based Google Ads agency, and Chris manages every campaign personally. Management is a flat $800+GST per month, month to month, no lock-in - not a percentage of your ad spend. Ad spend is separate and paid directly to Google in an account you own, with most Adelaide businesses starting from about $1,500 per month in ad spend. Google Ads was called Google AdWords until 2018, so an Adelaide AdWords agency and a Google Ads agency are the same thing.

Flat-fee management from $800+GST/month. No lock-in.

You pay 2 transparent costs: our flat management fee, and the ad spend that goes straight to Google.

Management fee

From $800+GST/month flat

Paid to Loudachris for strategy, campaign builds, conversion tracking, and weekly optimisation. Quoted up front, month-to-month, and it stays flat as your account scales.

Ad spend

Yours to set - paid to Google

Your click budget goes directly to Google, in an account you own. Most Adelaide service businesses start from about $1,500/month and scale once cost per lead is proven.

Why a flat fee instead of a percentage of spend? Agencies charging 15-20% of ad spend earn more every time you increase your budget, whether or not the extra spend brings leads. That's a conflict of interest built into the pricing model. A flat fee means the only way we win is by making your budget work harder. For typical budgets by industry, see our full guide to Google Ads costs in Australia.

Why your Google Ads aren't making money.

In many of the Adelaide accounts we audit, a large share of the ad spend is wasted. Here's why.

Your agency doesn't understand your business

They set up campaigns from a template and never visit Adelaide. You're paying for generic management from someone who's never spoken to your customers or seen your shopfront. Every business gets the same cookie-cutter approach.

You're bleeding money on bad keywords

Broad match keywords eating your budget. No negative keyword strategy. You're paying for clicks from people who will never buy - tyre kickers, students researching, and people in the wrong suburb entirely.

You can't see what's actually happening

Vague monthly reports full of vanity metrics. Impressions and clicks that mean nothing. You have no idea which campaigns make money and which waste it - because nobody set up proper conversion tracking.

Google Ads management that actually makes money.

Every service is delivered by Chris - the person who answers your calls.

Google Ads Audit

Full account audit: wasted spend, missed opportunities, conversion tracking gaps. You'll know exactly where your money's going and what to fix first.

Campaign Setup & Management

Search, Shopping, Performance Max. Keyword research, ad copy, landing pages - all built around how Adelaide customers actually search for your services.

Conversion Tracking

GA4, Google Tag Manager, phone call tracking. See which clicks turn into calls and form submissions, not just which ads get clicked, with every tracked conversion tied back to the keyword.

Monthly Optimisation

Bid management, A/B testing ad copy, negative keyword updates, quality score improvement. Your campaigns get better every month, not left on autopilot.

Adelaide Results

Adelaide plumber: 13 to 41 new Google clients a month.

Adam Nettleton at Adam Plumbing & Gas had run through 5 agencies in 10 years before he came to us. We rebuilt his Google presence around how Adelaide customers actually search for a plumber. New Google clients climbed from 13 to 41 a month, hitting 41 by month 4.

Adelaide client: Pro Roof and Gutter

Purpose-built landing pages converting at 43.88% and 20.00% in the 30 days to 17 July 2026.

Pro Roof and Gutter is a roofing and guttering company based in Elizabeth South, in Adelaide's northern suburbs. We rebuilt their entire website, then built 2 conversion-first landing pages made specifically for the ad traffic instead of pointing paid clicks at the general site: one for roof replacement, one for gutter replacement. We also manage the Google Ads account. Enhanced Conversions, Google Tag Manager, GA4 event tracking and call tracking are all in place, which is why the conversion data below can be trusted.

Search campaigns, 30 days to 17 July 2026

Roof Replacement

43.88%

conversion rate, 30 days to 17 July 2026

  • $42.66 cost per conversion
  • 40.81 conversions
  • $1,740.83 spend

Gutter Replacement

20.00%

conversion rate, 30 days to 17 July 2026

  • $65.80 cost per conversion
  • 27 conversions
  • $1,776.63 spend

What a conversion means here. The tracked conversion actions are phone calls, website form submissions and website phone-link clicks. A phone-link click is an intent signal, not a confirmed conversation, so these are tracked conversions rather than verified enquiries, and we do not present them as booked jobs or revenue. Across the whole account for the same 30 days to 17 July 2026: $4,461.71 spend, 235.37 tracked conversions, and an average cost per conversion of $18.96. That account-wide average is lower than the 2 Search campaigns above because the account runs other campaign types alongside them, on cheaper and lower-intent conversion actions. The 2 Search campaigns are the honest read on the landing pages.

Separate window: 14 June to 13 July 2026 vs the 30 days before it

Account spend came down to $4,470 from $5,474, tracked conversions rose to 241 from 183, and cost per conversion fell to $18.52 from $29.96. In short, the account spent less and produced more. These figures cover a different date range to the ones above and are not interchangeable with them.

Some Adelaide market context worth knowing: most trades pay around $3-$8 per click here, while professional services like legal, finance, and medical run $8-$25. At those rates, targeting matters as much as budget - tight suburb-level geo-targeting across Adelaide metro consistently beats whole-of-SA targeting for local services, because you stop paying for clicks from towns you'll never service.

Your ads get their own landing page.

Most Adelaide agencies point paid clicks at a homepage that has to serve every visitor at once. We build the destination as part of the campaign, so the page matches the search that paid for the click.

Google Ads questions from Adelaide businesses.

Who provides Google Ads management in Adelaide?
Loudachris Digital Marketing provides Google Ads management in Adelaide, from 21-22 Greenhill Rd, Wayville SA 5034. Chris Lourenco is the owner-operator and runs client accounts personally: 8 years Adelaide-based, a Google Partner, 103 five-star Google reviews on the Adelaide profile.
How much does Google Ads management cost in Adelaide?
$800+GST per month, flat. Loudachris manages Google Ads for Adelaide businesses on that flat management fee, month to month with no lock-in, and it stays flat as your budget grows. Ad spend is separate and paid directly to Google in an account you own, and most Adelaide businesses start from about $1,500 per month in ad spend.
Are you a Google Ads agency or a Google Ads consultant?
Both, in practice. Loudachris is a small Adelaide agency, so you get consultant-level access (Chris builds and manages the account himself) with agency infrastructure behind it: conversion tracking, landing pages and reporting. If you are weighing a Google Ads consultant in Adelaide against a larger agency, this is the middle ground - 1 accountable person, not a junior on a shared account.
Is Google AdWords the same as Google Ads?
Yes. Google AdWords is the former name of Google Ads: Google renamed the platform in 2018. So AdWords management in Adelaide and Google Ads management in Adelaide are the same service, and any AdWords account you already have is simply a Google Ads account. Loudachris manages it on the same flat $800+GST per month, with ad spend separate and paid directly to Google.
How much should I spend on Google Ads in Adelaide?
Depends on your industry and competition. Most Adelaide businesses see results from $1,500-$5,000 per month in ad spend plus management fees. Some industries like legal or medical need more. We'll recommend a budget based on your market during the free audit - no guesswork.
Is $10 a day enough for Google Ads in Adelaide?
For most Adelaide service industries, honestly, no - $300 a month sits below the practical floor. At Adelaide's typical $2-$15 cost per click, $10 buys 1-5 clicks a day, which might produce 1 lead a week. That's too little data for Google's bidding to learn from or for us to optimise against, so the account never improves. Where a tiny budget IS legitimate: a 2-4 week test on a single tightly-themed campaign (exact-match keywords for your core service, a handful of suburbs) to validate demand before committing a proper budget.
Is $100 enough for Google Ads?
$100 in total and $100 a day are different planets. $100 total buys roughly 7-50 clicks at the $2-$15 per click most Adelaide local services pay - enough to confirm your ads run, not enough to judge performance. $100 a day (about $3,000 a month) is a genuinely workable budget for most Adelaide trades and local services, and the range where campaigns get enough data to improve every week.
How quickly will I see results?
Google Ads delivers traffic immediately - your ads can be live within days. Optimisation for best cost-per-lead takes 2-4 weeks of data. By month 2, you'll have a clear picture of what's working and a plan to scale the winners.
Do you manage Performance Max campaigns?
Yes. Performance Max, Search, Shopping, Display, YouTube - we'll recommend the right campaign types for your business. Not every business needs PMax, and not every business should run Shopping. We match the campaign type to your goals.
What's your management fee?
A flat $800+GST per month - not a percentage of your ad spend. Percentage pricing pays agencies more when you spend more, whether or not the leads follow; a flat fee means your management cost doesn't blow out as you scale. Month to month, no lock-in. Ad spend is separate on top of that and paid directly to Google in an account you own, with most Adelaide businesses starting from about $1,500 per month in ad spend.
Can you fix my existing campaigns?
Absolutely, including older accounts you still think of as AdWords. Audits commonly turn up wasted spend that can be redirected to better-performing keywords, along with conversion tracking gaps that make the account look worse (or better) than it really is. We'll show you exactly what we find before you commit to anything.
