The Sydney Google Ads agency judged on cost per sale
A Sydney click costs $8 in some trades and $72 in others. We build and run Google Ads from our Parramatta office so every one of those dollars chases a buyer, and the monthly report shows the leads, the sales and what each one cost.
What a Google Ads click costs in Sydney
These are Google's own average prices for a top-of-page click in Sydney, by trade. An emergency plumber pays more for one click than a skip bin company pays for eight. Your budget, your bids and how hard the landing page has to work all start from this number.
Sydney businesses where one new customer is worth hundreds or thousands: trades and home services, clinics, law firms, dealerships, equipment hire and B2B services. Online stores with margin to put behind Shopping. Anyone who answers the phone quickly.
Management starts at $1,000 a month. Most Sydney clients spend $3,000 to $30,000 a month with Google on top.

Six jobs, run by the same account manager every week, and a monthly report that says which of them moved your cost per lead.
Search campaigns
Text ads on the searches with a wallet behind them. Sydney is too big for one campaign: a plumber in Parramatta and a plumber on the Northern Beaches are chasing different suburbs, different traffic and different click prices. We split campaigns by region and radius, write ads that name the area, and block the searches that never buy.
Google Shopping
For Sydney retailers the product feed is the campaign. Titles, attributes and images get fixed before bids get touched, then the catalogue is split so the products with margin get the budget. A Sydney appliance retailer's online sales rose 62% after the Shopping campaigns were rebuilt by category.
Performance Max
It earns its place for stores with clean product data. For lead generation it needs brand exclusions, account-level negatives and placement checks, or it spends a Sydney budget on junk inventory. We run it where the numbers justify it and report it separately so you can see what it did.
Remarketing
Most Sydney buyers compare three quotes before they call. Remarketing brings the ones who left back at a fraction of the first click's price, capped so nobody feels followed, and switched off once they convert.
Landing pages that convert the click
A $30 click that lands on a homepage with a menu is money gone. Our sister brand Postclick builds campaign landing pages with one job each: a call, a quote request or a sale. Cheaper leads usually start on the page, before anything changes in the account.
Postclick landing pagesTracking and reporting
Call tracking, form tracking and offline conversions from your CRM, proven end to end before the budget goes live. Google learns which leads became customers, and the report shows cost per lead and cost per sale, month on month.
Four reasons Sydney clients stay past month three
Taking over a Google Ads account that stopped paying
Most of our Sydney Google Ads work starts as a takeover. The account has been running for a year or two, the cost per lead has crept up, and nobody can say which campaigns pay. The free review answers that before you commit to anything.
Read the search terms
The search term report shows what you actually paid for. Inherited accounts regularly spend on searches that were never going to buy: jobs, DIY, free, cheap, and suburbs you do not service.
Check the tracking
Conversion tracking that counts page views or double-counts calls makes every decision in the account wrong. It gets rebuilt and tested before a single bid changes.
Keep what works
Campaigns and ads with real conversion history stay. Throwing away learning to rebuild from scratch costs weeks and money, so we only do it when the structure is beyond saving.
Confirm who owns it
Some Sydney agencies run clients inside their own account. If that is you, we get the history moved into an account in your name, so it can never be held back again.
We have worked with a number of different agencies in the past who promised the world but delivered lacklustre results and excuses. Local Digital have been transparent since day one and have always delivered on their promises.

Four reviews from the 70-plus on Google and Clutch, quoted as written.
Our rental fleet is currently at 95% utilisation. That's up from 70% before Local Digital took over our advertising. Proof is in the pudding: sales are up. They're happy to let their work speak for itself with no lock-in contracts, and we receive detailed monthly reports showing campaign progress.
We're achieving our revenue goals and our ROAS goals, with a high volume of customers to the online store and a higher volume of customers to the bricks-and-mortar store too. Extremely organised, responded quickly to our needs, took our recommendations on board and delivered on time.
Working with Local Digital has been awesome. They have taken my online business to the next level. The ads are brilliant and their ideas and knowledge is second to none. Thank you.
I have been working with Local Digital to manage our SEO and Google Ads for a few years now and I am very happy with the level of support we receive and the ability to communicate efficiently and openly.

Build the plumbing
Account build or rebuild, campaign structure, keyword research, negative lists, conversion tracking and call tracking proven end to end, and landing pages sorted before the budget goes live.
Cut waste, find the winners
Search terms read every week, negatives added, bids and budgets moved towards what converts, ads tested in pairs. This is where cost per lead usually drops hardest.
Report on leads, not clicks
Calls, forms and sales from Ads, this month against last, with cost per lead next to what you paid us. Then we set next month against what the phone actually did.
What Google Ads costs in Sydney
Two numbers. Our management fee, which starts at $1,000 a month and covers the whole job. And your spend with Google, which goes straight to Google on your own card and never passes through us.
The spend is set by the click prices above. A Sydney plumber at $29.71 a click needs about $9,000 a month to buy ten clicks a day; a cleaning company at $9.88 needs about a third of that. We price your trade and forecast leads before you commit.

Common Sydney Google Ads questions
Sydney agencies charge from about $900 a month to 20% of ad spend. Our management starts at $1,000 a month and covers the account build, ad writing, weekly optimisation, tracking and reporting. Your spend with Google sits on top of that and goes straight to Google, never through us. What Google Ads costs in Australia →
Enough to buy about 10 clicks a day on the searches that matter. At Sydney prices that is $3,000 a month or more for most trades: a click for "plumber sydney" averages $29.71, and "emergency plumber sydney" $72.34. Skip bins and cleaning sit under $10 a click, so they can start lower. We price your trade before you commit.
For most Sydney service businesses, no. $10 a day buys fewer than one click on a plumbing or legal term, and about one click on "skip bin hire sydney". That is not enough data to learn from. Spend it on your Google Business Profile and reviews until the budget can run a real test.
The one whose clients look like your business and whose reports lead with cost per lead. Ask any agency for a Sydney client in your industry, what their cost per lead was before and after, and whose name the Google Ads account sits in. Ours are on this page, with the numbers.
A consultant suits a small account with one campaign and an owner who wants to be hands-on. An agency makes sense once you need tracking, landing pages, Shopping feeds and weekly optimisation done by different people. Ours gives you one named account manager with the whole team behind them.
Ads show the day the campaign goes live, so leads can arrive in the first week. The real gains come between weeks four and twelve, once there is enough conversion data to cut the waste. A Sydney sportswear store saw revenue lift in the first month on the same spend.
Yes, and for most service businesses you should. Campaigns can be set by postcode, suburb or a radius around your base, with bids raised where your jobs are worth more and cut where travel eats the margin. A Penrith business paying for Cronulla clicks is a common find in inherited accounts.
Yes. We build campaigns inside your own account, and you keep it, along with the conversion history that makes it valuable, if you ever leave. If your current agency runs you inside their account, we help move you out. Read the Very Fair Terms →
A three-month minimum to start, because a shorter run does not give the account time to learn, then month to month with no notice period. Read the Very Fair Terms →
Yes, and our specialists hold current Google Ads certifications. Badges are table stakes, though. Ask any Sydney agency for the cost per lead they hit for a client in your industry, and what it was before they took over.
Level 4, 9 George St, Parramatta, open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. It is a short walk from Parramatta station. Call 1300 896 007 or come in.
Ads buy you the top of the page today and stop when you stop paying. SEO compounds but takes months to move in a market as contested as Sydney. Most of our clients run both: Ads for the searches that convert now, SEO for the long tail. If you can only fund one, we will say which fits your market. SEO agency Sydney →
