Hey! I’m Jamie,a freelance Google Ads specialist here to help you crush goals for your Melbourne-based business.

Over the last 9+ years I have helped businesses across Melbourne generate more leads (and sales) using Search Ads, Remarketing Ads, Youtube ads… and well basically anything Google Ads has to offer. 

Honestly, my goal is to help you reach your goals. 

Because of this I have been fortunate to work with businesses around the world in countless industries, niches, all different sizes, each with their own business goals. 

If you’re looking to level up your business with a passionate, down to earth Google Ads specialist, say hello!

Watch me first

Google Partner

Old mate Google trusts me

I’ll skip the boring breakdown on how I became a trusted Google partner. Really, in the end, working with a Google Partner – whether its with me, or a marketing agency – is definitely the first thing you need to look out for before running Google Ads.

and fully qualified

Honestly, these exams are really boring, and that’s not an exaggeration. But, to become a Google partner they have to be done…every…damn…year. They also show I know what I’m doing. Win/win either way.

I’m more than passionate about running Google Ads

Meet Connor, Kade, Nish & Simone – a bunch of top business owners who have trusted me to help tighten up their marketing strategies. Have a watch below.

Experience with some major brands

It doesn’t matter if you’re just starting out or a well known brand just like the below. Every account I put my heart and soul into it to ensure I get the best results every time.

Google Ads is the best!

Results are immediate, no waiting times

So your humble little business in Melbourne needs more foot traffic, leads or even phone calls? This is where Google Ads come in. The good thing is, once your ads are approved and launched you’re basically showing for your niche, service or product right away. 

Plus, if you run search ads you only pay when someone clicks, or calls from your ad and not when you show. Just means it’s more cost-effective for small businesses like yours to take your ad budgets further. 

All backed by Google’s insane A.I

Utilising cutting-edge A.I. (artificial intelligence), Google Ads only displays your ads at the right moment, to the right audience but only after taking into consideration millions of signals. I can literally hyper-target users in your service region like Melbourne, Australia-wide, or even globally – saving you more money in the long run.

Business goals = crushed

More eyes?

Dedicate ads to show for as many times as possible. Great for brand awareness.

More website visits?

Landing pages? ebooks? Products? Link click campaigns can help.

More leads?

90% of businesses start here. Drum up more biz with lead gen campaigns.

You’re in control of budgets

Running Google Ads in Melbourne is relatively inexpensive because you can operate on almost any budget (depending on your industry).

My personal advice is to start with a monthly budget of at least $1500.

This will always be a good sweet spot for generating enough data to improve campaign performance and track campaign KPIs.

Monthly budget

Set as big or as small as you like.

$ $$$

+ Be seen everywhere

Google Ads has a massive ad network where you can show your brand to. In the end, it really is down to your business goals. Want leads? We’ll start with Search Ads. Want eyes on your brand, let’s start with Discovery Ads or even YouTube Ads.

My experience?

Common questions like “why should I choose you over an agency” or “are we compatible” … the answers are below. Personally I’m a big believer that an image can tell 1000 words, but a video can tell 1 million more. I have over 100+ marketing videos its the easiest way to gauge my mindset, skills and experience. 

I’m here to get you results

I referred a friend, who was struggling with one of the big agencies & the results Jamie delivered were next level. Jamie delivered 145 conversions in one month alone - night and day compared to what the previous agency was able to do. I've seen Jamie work his magic for big name brands & absolutely crush it for small businesses too - one of the best out there. Plus, it helps that he's an absolute legend & just an amazing guy - qualities that are becoming increasingly rare in the agency world. If you're not getting the results you want, Jamie's your guy - can't recommend him highly enough

I’ve worked with a few marketing agencies over the years, and none have come close. The quality of service, the advice, and the actual results are on another level. He genuinely cares about the outcome and puts in the work like it’s his own business. Where other agencies just want to sell you into a retainer and upsell you, Jamie focuses on delivering real value and helping you grow. The difference is night and day. Best decision I’ve made for my business by far the best marketing service I’ve used.

Frequent questions

What is Google Ads?

Google Ads is an easy way to get yourbusiness in front of customers looking for your goods or services. The best thing about Google Ads is that your company will appear on Google almost immediately after you create your ads. Winning! Search Ads, which appear when a user searches on Google.com.au, are the most common Google Ads feature. They however, offer a variety of additional placements, such as display advertisements, YouTube commercials, Discovery ads, and many more.

Google Ads charges their advertising in a variety of ways depending on the type of campaign you intend to run. The most common type is pay-per-click (also known as PPC). This option is available across Google Search, and you only pay when someone clicks on your advertisement. This is an excellent option because you receive free promotion whenever a user views your advertisement because you do not pay for your ads to be displayed.

Other Google placements allow you to pay per 1000 impressions (CPM). These campaigns are primarily for brand awareness because the main goal is to get people to notice your brand rather than clicks or leads.

Without a doubt! Targeting areas across Melbourne is simple with Google Ads because it allows your company to target ads to users in your specific geographic area. This is especially useful if you have a physical store or a service-based business that relies on local clients or foot traffic.

Local targeting can help your business attract highly qualified traffic to your website or physical location by ensuring that your ads are only displayed to those who are physically in the area where you operate. Local targeting can also be combined with other targeting strategies, such as demographics or keyword targeting, to further narrow a company’s target market.

In Google Ads, you can set budgets to limit your daily spending to what you’re willing to pay. You may not use all of your budgets on some days because you only pay when someone clicks on your advertisement (pay-per-click).

This is not a bad thing; it simply indicates that your target keywords were not popular. Remember that you will not be charged if you do not use your daily allowance.

Remember the last time you went to an auction and how multiple people bid upwards until only the highest bidder remained. Well, Google Ads is similar, but there are some guidelines that can help you estimate how much you’ll spend. You might be lucky and only have to pay $0.30 per click, or you might have to pay as much as $30.00 per click – it all comes down to your niche or industry.

In Melbourne, Google Ads prices typically range between $0.05 and $5.00 per click.

It is also critical to recognise that these costs are subject to change. If two businesses compete for the same highly competitive term, and one of you has a higher quality score, you will pay less than the other. You can reduce your PPC expenses by using less competitive keywords or being more specific with your audience targeting. To achieve excellent results and a healthy return on investment, the ideal balance must be struck.

When you use Google Ads in Melbourne, you will be able to see your brand whenever someone searches on Google. Assume you are an Real Estate Agent in Fitzroy. When users search for a “Fitzroy Real Estate Agent” you can use Google Ads to let them know you’re here. However, given that nearly everyone conducts these searches on Google, competing with that level of exposure can be difficult.

Another reason Google Ads is so popular is that you literally only pay for results. Due to the high relevancy of the service or product you offer, targeting it increases the chances of generating a lead or sale. The idea is to target the most popular terms at the bottom of the marketing funnel, when the user is actively looking to hire or purchase your product.

Furthermore, when you discover a keyword (or set of keywords), you can increase your budget and obtain more clicks when you discover a term that truly converts.

Yes, without any prior experience!

The most difficult challenges with Google Ads are always developing a strategy and optimising your campaigns. In reality, anyone can create a campaign, but not everyone knows how to develop a strategy that will generate leads or sales.

Furthermore, you will almost certainly end up paying too much for specific keywords. That is why some businesses in Melbourne spend thousands of dollars on Google Ads without seeing results they’re expecting.

Personally, I will apply my experience and industry knowledge to develop a Google Ad strategy that will crush it and exceed all of your KPIs and goals. I set them up, monitor them, and ensure that you get the best return on your investment.

When it comes to choosing a Google Ads marketing provider in Melbourne, you have a lot of options, including agencies or a freelance marketer just like me.

Firstly, you need to check to see if they have Google Certifications. These certifications are tests that each Google Ads expert must take each year to ensure their platform knowledge is up to date. I’m not going to lie: these tests are extremely boring! But, hey, they must be completed.

In addition to these certifications, it is critical to find a partner who truly understands your industry. Because Google Ads is all about data, it’s a good idea to look for a provider who focuses on data-driven results and is completely transparent.

Be wary of agencies and freelancers who are not transparent and refuse to give you access to your Google Ads data – this is a major red flag. And don’t believe anyone who promises quick results – the optimisation process takes time, and a good partner will be honest about it and work with you to ensure the wait is worthwhile.
