Google Ads

Speed to the top of Google search results with Google Ads. You’ll be there when someone is looking for a fishing charter in the Harbour, dentist in Redlynch, or whatever it is you do where you do it. As the world’s biggest ad platform, we’ll help you stand out and rake in the leads.

Microsoft (Bing) Ads

Bing may not be as big as Google, but it’s a hidden gem for certain Cairns industries. Professionals, older demographics and government users are more likely to search on Bing, giving you access to an audience your competitors may be ignoring.

Social Media Ads

Cairns locals and tourists are scrolling on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn and other social media all day everyday, which makes social ads perfect for catching attention. We’ll help you promote what you do in a way that stands out to get people to stop the scroll and buy.

Remarketing Campaigns

Remarketing keeps your business top of mind when people have visited your site but not bought from or contacted you. If someone’s looking at what you do, they’ll see your ads again so they can get back to where they were, and finish what they started.

Frequently Asked Questions, Answered By a Leading PPC Company in Cairns

Can smaller businesses compete with bigger businesses using PPC?

Yes, one of the best parts about PPC is that smart campaigns can put a smaller Cairns business in front of customers at the exact same time as bigger brands. While their ad budgets may be bigger, so they can be shown more times, you can refine your ads to only be shown at the exact right times, places and times of day so you’re getting people ready to act. Using a reputable PPC agency in Cairns can help you level the playing field.

What’s the average cost per click in Cairns?

Cost per clicks can vary hugely between industries, ad accounts and the ads themselves. However, on average, a cost per click in Cairns normally sits between $2 and $6 for less competitive keywords. Tourism and hospitality-type ads can be higher than this during peak seasons, as can highly competitive industries.

If you’re currently running ads with high conversion costs, speak to our team today. We can leverage different platforms and strategies to help you receive the most competitive return on investment.
