Paid Advertising Canberra

Ads that pay for themselves

We build and manage paid advertising campaigns for Canberra service businesses - Google Ads, Meta advertising, and more - targeting the right people with the right message, so your budget generates qualified enquiries instead of empty clicks.

Most ads burn money. Yours don't have to.

If you've ever boosted a post and wondered where the leads went, you're not alone. Most Canberra businesses try paid advertising, see little return, and assume it just doesn't work for them. It's not the platform - it's the approach. Running Facebook ads or Google Ads in Canberra without a clear audience, a compelling offer, and creative that earns attention is just expensive guessing. The businesses consistently generating leads from digital advertising in the ACT aren't luckier than you - they have a strategy behind every dollar they spend. That's what we build.

What's included

Everything a campaign needs to generate leads

01

Meta Ads (Facebook & Instagram)

Full-funnel Meta campaigns built around your audience, your offer, and your goals. We handle strategy, creative, audience targeting, and ongoing optimisation.

02

Google Search Ads

Capture demand at the moment of intent. We build and manage Google Ads campaigns in Canberra targeting people actively searching for what you offer - whether that's in Woden, Belconnen, or anywhere across the ACT.

03

Ad creative and copywriting

Scroll-stopping creative that earns attention and drives action - static images, video ads, carousels, and ad copy written to convert.

04

Audience research and targeting

We identify and build the exact audiences your campaigns need - custom audiences, lookalikes, retargeting pools, and interest-based targeting.

05

Retargeting campaigns

Win back warm audiences who've already engaged with your brand but haven't converted yet. Retargeting typically delivers the strongest return in any paid mix.

06

Reporting and performance optimisation

Regular reporting that actually tells you something - what's working, what isn't, and what we're doing about it. No vanity metrics, no black box.

How we work

A clear process from brief to bookings

01 - Strategy
Start with the numbers

We map your business goals to a campaign strategy - defining the right platforms, audiences, budget allocation, and KPIs before a single dollar is spent.

02 - Creative
Build ads worth clicking

We produce the creative your campaigns need: copy, imagery, and video assets built around your offer and audience - not generic templates.

03 - Launch & Test
Ship smart, learn fast

We launch structured tests across audiences and creative variations, gathering real performance data to identify what resonates and cut what doesn't.

04 - Optimise & Scale
Double down on what works

We continuously refine targeting, creative, and budget allocation - scaling what's performing and cutting what isn't to improve your return over time.

Common questions

Everything you need to know

How much should I budget for paid ads?

It depends on your goals, market, and how competitive your industry is in Canberra. As a starting point, we typically recommend a minimum monthly ad spend of $1,500-$2,000 to generate meaningful data and results. For more competitive categories - property, construction, health - a higher budget means faster learnings and stronger returns. We'll discuss budget as part of the discovery process and give you a realistic picture of what's achievable.

How long before I see results?

Most campaigns generate early data within the first two weeks, and you'll typically see qualified leads coming through within the first month if the offer and targeting are right. Paid advertising rewards patience - results compound as we gather data and optimise. For some clients, like Millynn Homes, results come very quickly. For others, the first month is primarily learning and refinement.

Do you handle the creative, or do I need to provide assets?

We handle everything - strategy, creative, targeting, and management. If you already have strong brand assets or photography, we'll use them. If not, we'll build what the campaign needs. Good creative is usually the difference between a campaign that converts and one that doesn't, so we never cut corners there.

What platforms do you run ads on?

Primarily Meta advertising (Facebook and Instagram) and Google Search Ads, as these deliver the strongest returns for most ACT businesses. We also run campaigns on YouTube and LinkedIn where the audience and brief warrant it. We'll recommend the right digital advertising mix for your specific Canberra business goals during discovery.
