Google Ads Gold Coast

Management is a fixed monthly fee based on the size and complexity of the account, charged after a one-off setup fee. Your advertising budget is separate and is paid directly to Google, so you always know what is management and what is media. We will recommend a budget after the audit, and you can download our plans PDF below for the detail.

It depends on your industry and how competitive the searches are. A trade or local service business can get useful data from a modest daily budget; legal, finance and some medical terms cost more per click and need more. We would rather start at a level that produces enough data to learn from than spread a small budget across too many campaigns.

No, and that is deliberate. Payment for the ads comes directly from your own Google Ads account. Google bills you monthly or when the account reaches its billing threshold. Tell us how much you want to spend on average each day and we distribute that across your campaigns. We set you up as an admin on the account and guide you through billing.

Allow one to two weeks to get your ads running. That covers conversion tracking, campaign structure, keywords and ad copy. After launch we keep building and refining the campaigns every week.

We have a three-month minimum term, which is the time it takes to gather data, test and reach a stable cost per lead. After that the agreement renews monthly, and you can cancel before a renewal date to avoid further charges.

Google Ads delivers leads from the week it launches and switches off when you stop paying. SEO takes months to build and then keeps delivering. Most Gold Coast businesses we work with run ads first for immediate enquiries and use what the ads teach them, which searches convert, which pages work, to focus the SEO. The two share the same tracking, so you see both in one report.

Yes, Thrive is a Google Partner agency. Partner status means our account managers hold current Google Ads certifications and the accounts we manage meet Google’s performance and spend requirements. It also gives us access to Google support and beta features before they are generally available.

Usually, yes. A well-designed landing page gives visitors one clear, focused next step and lifts the share of clicks that become enquiries. Because Thrive designs and builds websites as well as running ads, we can create one in-house or improve the page you already have.

Yes. Unlike some agencies, you own the Google Ads account and everything in it. After the minimum term you are welcome to take over management, and we will hand it across cleanly.

Yes. Our in-house team manages Facebook and Instagram advertising as well as Google Ads, and many clients run both. Google catches people who are searching for what you do; Meta reaches people who have not started looking yet. We plan and report on them together.
