But Aren’t Google Ads expensive?

You don’t want to waste your hard-earned cash...

Online advertising can get expensive really fast. Most small business owners go in blind and try to set them up themselves.

Even more established tradie companies have a crack at it, only to find out that their profit margins have decreased from spending too much money on their ads.

You might be landing more clients and bringing in more revenue, but if it’s costing you a lot for every new customer, is it really worth it?

Trades often break their budgets with Google ads because their campaigns aren’t set up correctly, and they’re not targeting the right people. Plus, advertising on Google is more than just launching the ads; it’s essential to track the progress of the advertising campaigns to get the best results.

Tradie Mate uses hyper-focused targeting for your business because we know the Australian market inside-out. We set the right parameters in the ads to ensure you’re not blowing your budget on the wrong things.

For local businesses, targeting the right people and considering household incomes and search terms are important. We’ll manage your ad campaigns by regularly tracking their progress and adjusting your ads to get the most bang for your buck.

Google Ads That Work: How Tradie Mate Can Help

We make the complex stuff easy

To get the most out of your Google Ads campaigns, we'll set performance benchmarks specific to the Australian trade business. At Tradie Mate, we'll identify and track key metrics such as click-through rates, average cost-per-click, and conversion rates. This helps us to optimise your campaigns to achieve the best results at minimal ad spend.

Setting up your Google Ads account

Setting up a Google Ads account can be a complex and time-consuming process. With the help of Tradie Mate, it's easy. From account creation to management and everything in between...

...management and everything in between, we have you covered. Our expert SEO strategist team can help you refine your Google account so it's set up for success. We've managed over $100,000,000 in ad spend for our clients. We know what works and what doesn't.

Landing High Paying Urgent/Emergency Work

At Tradie Mate, we understand that many tradie businesses operate outside regular business hours. Nothing like that 4 am wake-up, right? That's your advantage...

We'll help you capture clients during after-business hours by designing ads where potential customers can directly reach you immediately. If you're relying on online marketplaces to promote your work, customers needing urgent help (their lights going out or plumbing needing fixing) won't find you on Gumtree.

Customers that need urgent jobs will jump onto Google, hit the first search result they find, and give you a call or submit an enquiry. Google ads will make sure you're the one they choose. The best part? They need urgent support, so getting these after-hours enquiry allows you to charge more, bringing in more profit.

Highly relevant keyword strategy (targeted)

When setting up your Google Ads campaign, we'll focus on highly relevant keywords that are specific to your business. The goal is to have your ads only shown to people...

...who are searching for your services, and not showing to those who don't. As your services change or expand or the market changes, we'll adjust our keyword strategy to continually meet your business goals and target the right people.

Tradiemate does all of the work to develop a website tailored to your specific business, your industry, and the local market.

We'll handle all of the design, content creation site upkeep, so you never have to worry about it.

We'll create a website that's visually appealing, user-friendly, and optimised to get you high on search results, so potential customers will reach out for a quote.

Calculating the "Return On Ad Spend"

Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) measures how much revenue your business earns for every dollar spent on advertising. You want a higher ROAS, which indicates that our advertising efforts...

...are effective and more profitable for you. When we manage your Google ads, we'll set advertising budget goals and measure your ROAS consistently to help us make informed decisions as we work with you.

Tradiemate will optimise your website for the keywords your local target market is searching for and ensure your website is geared to being clicked on more than your competitors.

Measuring your Google Ads campaign performance

So that we are confident that your Google ads are working optimally, we need to measure the performance of your ads. Many tradies trying to run ads themselves make the mistake...

...of launching the ads and then hoping for the best.

We focus on local appeal

For Aussie tradies, focusing on local appeal in advertising is critical. We'll target local potential clients in your area to increase the likelihood of converting these leads into customers...

It's another way of hyper-targeting the ads. You'll be wasting money if your ads are being shown to people in another country or across the other side of Australia. The goal is to be on the first page of results for your local area. We can help you get there.

At Tradie Mate, we've helped countless tradies and contractors achieve success in their businesses with Google Ads. We'll work with you to understand your business goals so that our Google ads specialists can create customised and cost-effective campaigns. Our clients have seen significant increases in website traffic, leads, and sales, as well as improved return on ad spend. This has led to better jobs booked, more consistency in their workload, and a bigger bottom line.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can Google Ads help your tradie business?

Google Ads is an effective digital marketing tool that can help your tradie business reach potential customers who are searching for your exact services online. By targeting specific keywords and the right demographics, you can direct these people to your website with the goal of converting them into paying customers. Google ads provide fast results, allowing businesses to generate a high quantity of leads and convert them to customers as soon as your ads go live.

How does Google Ads for tradies work?

For Australian tradies, Google ads help direct people looking for your specific services in your area to click on your landing pages. When a potential customer types in their needs, like "carpenter in Wollongong," if your ads have been created effectively, your business will show up first. The best part is that you'll only pay when someone actually clicks on your ads, which is helpful to not waste money on those that aren't interested in your services.

How much does Google Ads for tradies cost?

The prices you pay for Google ads depend on the budget you choose to set and the performance of your campaign. Because Google ads are pay-per-click, you'll pay different amounts for each click depending on the competition level of the target keywords. Defining your campaign daily budget (and target cost per acquisition) will give you some control over how much you're spending, though this is calculated as total monthly spending, meaning that some days will have a larger spend than others. To make your Google advertising cost-effective, you'll need a campaign manager, like Tradie Mate, to continually examine the ad performance and make adjustments.

Why can't I see my Google Ad when I Google myself, even though I have an Ads campaign running?

Often, the Google algorithm can filter your ad out of your feed due to irrelevant search history or other factors that it deems not appropriate for you to see. You might also have reached your daily budget, which means the ads are only scheduled to show up at certain times of the day, and you're unable to view them. One of the biggest reasons is that if you are searching for your ad with the same IP address you use to manage your Google Ads account, Google might avoid displaying your ad to yourself to prevent performance metrics from being skewed.

What is the difference between PPC and Google Ads?

PPC, as mentioned above, is the term for pay-per-click. Google Ads is a type of PPC ad. Not all PPC ads are Google ads, however. 'Google Ads' is the name for Google's advertising platform, where businesses create and run their ads. PPC ads can also be run on other platforms unrelated to Google.

Which is better, SEO or Pay-Per-Click (PPC)?

SEO (search engine optimization) and PPC (pay-per-click) are very different forms of advertising your business to be found on the Google search engine results page. Where SEO involves optimising your website to rank higher in the organic search results, PPC involves placing paid ads on Google to be bumped up to the top of the search results. SEO is more of a long-term game, whereas Google Ads is immediate. They both have their benefits and when implemented together, this is a strong digital marketing approach for Australian tradie businesses.
