My name is Jeroen and I am one of Australia’s most experienced Google Ads specialists, helping Melbourne business to grow their Google Ads.
Google Ads Melbourne.
Running Google Ads in Melbourne can feel like a massive money pit if it’s not done right. As one of Australia’s most experienced Google Ads specialists, I partner with ambitious Melbourne businesses to take the guesswork out of pay-per-click. My focus is simple: turning your ad spend into a reliable stream of leads and sales without the usual agency fluff.
My approach to Google Ads management is completely tailored to your actual business goals and profit margins. I get stuck into the data to find the high-intent keywords your competitors are missing, making sure your ads land in front of the right people at the exact moment they’re ready to buy.
When you work with me, you can say goodbye to the “set and forget” automation and junior account managers you often get at big, expensive agencies. With nearly two decades of experience navigating the Melbourne digital landscape, I handle all the heavy lifting—from tight campaign structuring to constant bid tweaks—so you can get back to running your business.
At the end of the day, I’m here to stop Google from wasting your hard-earned cash on useless clicks. I believe in total transparency, which means no locked-in contracts, no hidden fees, and full ownership of your own data from day one. If you’re ready to move past the confusing tech jargon and start seeing real, measurable growth for your business, let’s have a quick chat and see how we can get your ads working harder for you.
Google Ads management Melbourne done right.
Successful Google Ads management isn’t a “one-size-fits-all” setup. A local Melbourne business needs a completely different strategy than a national e-commerce store or an international brand. My approach is entirely customised to your business size and target market, ensuring your ad budget is structurally set up to hit your specific goals.
Google Ads campaign setup
For local Melbourne businesses, the focus is on geographic dominance. This means using hyper-targeted suburb bidding, location-specific ad copy, and tracking every single phone call and form lead to ensure we are capturing high-intent customers in your immediate service area.
For national or international brands, we scale your reach without losing control, splitting campaigns by location, intent, and regional search behaviour to keep a tight lid on your acquisition costs.
Ongoing optimisation
The real work actually happens after your campaigns are live. A profitable account requires continuous, data-driven optimisation to prevent Google from wasting your budget on irrelevant clicks. My ongoing management involves constant bid refinements, digging through search term reports to add negative keywords, running A/B tests on ad copy, and working behind the scenes to improve your Quality Scores so you pay less per click over time.
You will always retain 100% ownership of your Google Ads account and data, backed by a live reporting dashboard you can check 24/7. There are no lock-in contracts or hidden fees; I work on a flexible, month-to-month basis where you deal directly with the expert managing your data.

For nearly two decades, I have been operating at the forefront of search engine marketing. I established my independent consultancy agency in 2017 to offer a high-performance alternative to traditional agencies.
My approach to Google Ads is grounded in technical precision and 100% transparency, treating your marketing budget like my own to eliminate wasted spend and drive genuine commercial growth.

Frequently asked questions.
Navigating Google Ads in Melbourne can feel overwhelming at times, especially with localised competition driving up costs, complex algorithms shifting, and constant platform updates making it hard to know if your local budget is actually working for you. I’ve put together this FAQ section to strip away the tech jargon and provide straightforward answers about how my Google Ads management process helps businesses dominate the Melbourne market.
Take a look through the questions below to see how a hands-on, specialist approach can protect your ad spend and scale your local leads.

Setting up a campaign globally or country-wide is completely different from running one in a highly competitive market like Melbourne. Local knowledge means understanding specific consumer behaviours, high-value suburbs, commuter patterns, and regional terminology. I don't just target a broad radius; I build granular location-containment strategies, target high-intent local search queries, and aggressively exclude areas that drain your budget on empty clicks.
Many international or "hands-off" agencies automate their location targeting, leading to your ads showing up for searchers outside your target market or wasting money on irrelevant clicks. By working with a specialist who understands the Australian and Melbourne market dynamics, you get tailored ad copy featuring local landmarks, suburbs, or regional value propositions. This instantly makes your ads more relevant to local searchers, driving up your Quality Score and lowering your cost-per-click.
The Melbourne market is crowded, and bidding on broad keywords means you are fighting—and overpaying—against massive corporate budgets. My approach is surgical. I analyse exactly what your local competitors are doing, find gaps in their strategy, and build hyper-targeted campaign structures. By writing hyper-localised ad copy and optimising your asset extensions (like callouts and local location assets), we make your business look like the obvious choice the exact second someone searches for what you do.
Absolutely. For local businesses serving a specific city or radius, form submissions are only half the story—phone calls are often where the real profit is. Accurate tracking is the foundation of my management process. I set up advanced dynamic number insertion (DNI) call tracking alongside standard Google Analytics 4 (GA4) goals. This allows us to see exactly which keyword and which specific Melbourne targeted campaign generated the phone call, so we can double down on what's actually making your phone ring.
Google Ads Melbourne.
If you are looking to grow your business in Melbourne through Google Ads, you are stepping into one of Australia's most competitive digital landscapes. Because Melbourne is a major economic hub, advertiser competition is high, which generally means cost-per-click (CPC) rates sit about 15% to 30% higher than the national average.
For businesses operating in Melbourne, here is a rough breakdown of what you can expect to pay per click: - Services (e.g., Trades, Legal, Consulting): $4.50 to $7.00 per click.
- Retail and E-commerce: $1.10 to $3.20 per click.
- High-Competition Industries (e.g., Law, Finance, Real Estate): $10.00 to $20.00+ per click.While these prices might seem steep, the high intent of Melbourne searchers often leads to strong conversion rates. To make your budget go further in such a busy market, focusing on your Quality Score is vital. Improving your ad relevance and landing page experience can help you secure better ad placements for a lower price than your competitors. Whether you are a local shop in Brunswick or a professional firm in the CBD, a well-optimised campaign is the key to seeing a solid return on your investment.
