Where did we start?
This client is a pool building company based on the Gold Coast, with services extending north to Brisbane and south to Byron Bay, however this campaign focuses on the Gold Coast/Brisbane region.
This campaign started in November of 2022, with the customer wanting more enquiries for their business, and quotes for new, bigger jobs. It started targeting both Brisbane and the Gold Coast, with a daily budget of $100.
What was our paid ads strategy?
The client already had an existing campaign running, which wasn’t producing the desired results. This was left running whilst two new campaigns were created and tested, covering both locations. $80 of the budget into a search campaign and the remaining $20 into a call only campaign, with new dedicated landing pages created for both user experience and data tracking.
Between the 14th of November and 17th of January, these new campaigns generated a total of 130 enquiries, which was an increase of 208% compared to the previous period. This determined that the new campaigns were more profitable than the previous ones – the new campaign also had a conversion rate of 10.39%, where the conversion rate of the previous campaign was only 7.66%. From this, it was decided to pause the old campaigns and pour all the budget into the new campaigns as this would bring the best outcome for the client.
On the 17th of January an additional Brisbane only campaign with new landing pages was created to separate this from the Gold Coast in order to capitalise on having specific geographical campaigns and targeting locations.
Between January 17th and February 6th, the client saw a further increase in lead enquiries of 230%, which led to a further increase of budget of $200 per day – $100 into each location campaign. On the 9th of February, the Brisbane budget was increased again by the client to $400, meaning a $300 per day spend across both campaigns. This means that over this short period of time, the client has seen enough value from their ads to be comfortable increasing their monthly budget from approx $3000 per month to approx $9000 per month.
After this increase, Brisbane leads increased by a further 44.9% for this client. The higher budget in this area has been effective as Brisbane has a higher level of competition than the Gold Coast for this industry, necessitating the difference in spend budgets.
Between mid-November 2022 and mid-February 2023, leads from Google increased by 522% overall – the client has received 261 enquiries through their ads, which come in as form submissions or phone calls. On average this client is quoting 20 jobs a week in person, and seeing significant increases to their business turnover.

Location-Based Google Ads Campaign: A targeted Google Ads campaign now focuses on higher-income areas in both the Gold Coast and Brisbane, aligning with their premium positioning.
