Tired of Google Ads agencies making excuses instead of sales?

Join the club. Most Google Ads consultants are great at spending your money, terrible at making you more. Clicks without conversions is just digital window shopping.

How I am different

I am not like most google ads consultants in Melbourne

UI/UX Design Expertise
I actually know how to design landing pages that convert

Most Google Ads consultants send traffic to whatever landing page you have and hope for the best. I design and optimise landing pages that turn clicks into conversions because I understand user experience and conversion psychology.

Advanced Tracking Skills
I set up proper tracking that most agencies get wrong

You'd be shocked how many agencies can't even set up basic conversion tracking properly. I implement advanced attribution models, track the customer journey, and show you exactly which campaigns generate revenue.

Holistic Digital Marketing
I see the big picture, not just Google Ads in isolation

While most consultants only know Google Ads, I understand SEO, web experience, brand strategy, and how they all work together. I optimise your entire digital marketing ecosystem, not just one channel.

Are we a good fit? 

As a Google Ads consultant, I only work with selected ambitious businesses in Melbourne

Not sure yet?

Most Melbourne Google Ads consultants are just ad buyers. I'm not.

Business-first tracking

Attribution that tracks to real revenue

While others track clicks, I track campaigns to actual revenue, LTV (Life time value) and business growth metrics you care about.

Server-side tracking, enhanced conversions, GA4 revenue mapping, offline imports. I measure what matters: cost per customer, not cost per click

Funded business focus

I work with selected ambitious clients only

I don't chase every brief. I work with funded Melbourne businesses that need growth, not cheap clicks

Series A-B companies, established SMEs, businesses with real budgets. If you're bootstrapping or price-shopping, I'm probably not your guy

More questions?

Below are some frequently asked questions with my responses
Why do you call it "strategic growth marketing" instead of Google Ads consulting?
drop down arrow icon

Because most Google Ads consultants are just ad buyers who optimise for clicks. I'm a strategic growth partner who uses Google Ads as one tool in a complete business growth system.
While typical Melbourne consultants focus on campaign optimisation, I integrate Google Ads with brand strategy, funnel design, and AI-powered attribution. Your ads become part of a cohesive growth engine, not an isolated marketing activity.
For funded businesses, this means campaigns that align with board KPIs, optimise for funding runway efficiency, and scale systematically rather than burning cash on random traffic.

I've been burnt by agencies before. What makes this actually different?
drop down arrow icon

Fair question. Most agencies fail because they treat symptoms, not causes. They'll optimise your campaigns while ignoring fundamental problems: unclear value proposition, poor brand positioning, broken conversion funnels.
I fix the foundation first. As someone with 10+ years in brand design and business strategy, I identify why campaigns aren't converting before spending a dollar on optimisation. Usually it's not the ads - it's that your brand doesn't clearly communicate value to your target market.
Melbourne's marketing landscape is full of generalists who do "everything." I'm the only consultant here combining strategic brand thinking, technical marketing execution, and business strategy integration. One integrated approach, measurable business outcomes.

How do you measure success for funded businesses specifically?
drop down arrow icon

I track metrics that matter to growth-stage companies: customer acquisition cost relative to funding runway, scalable acquisition channels, and unit economics that support Series B planning.
While typical consultants celebrate "lead generation," I optimise for metrics your board actually cares about:

CAC payback period alignment with cash runway
Monthly recurring revenue growth from paid acquisition
Customer lifetime value optimisation for sustainable growth
Attribution modelling that connects marketing to revenue milestones

What's your investment level for strategic growth marketing?
drop down arrow icon

For serious growth-stage businesses: $130-280/hour for strategic consulting, $2-4K monthly for complete campaign management and optimisation.

This isn't cheap. It's strategic. You're not paying for Google Ads management - you're investing in systematic customer acquisition that scales with your business. Most funded businesses waste more than this on scattered marketing efforts that don't integrate or compound.

How quickly will I see results that justify the investment?
drop down arrow icon

Month 1: Strategic foundation and campaign architecture
Month 2-3: Optimised performance and funnel integration
Month 4-6: Scalable growth systems that compound
Anyone promising overnight results is selling you something. But here's what's different: I build campaigns that improve over time rather than requiring constant firefighting.
By month 3, you'll have systematic customer acquisition that your team can rely on for pipeline forecasting. By month 6-8, you'll have attribution clarity and optimisation processes that continue working with the help of active optimisation.

Do you only work with funded tech companies?
drop down arrow icon

I specialise in funded businesses ($2-5M revenue) and established SMEs with growth ambitions. Tech, finance, B2B services - any business that thinks strategically about customer acquisition and have the sophistication to value integrated marketing systems.
If you're bootstrapping or shopping on price, I'm probably not the right fit. My approach requires investment in strategic thinking, not just campaign management. But if you're serious about systematic growth and have the budget to do it properly, we should talk.

Can I just hire you for Google Ads without the strategic stuff?
drop down arrow icon

You could, but you'd be missing the point. Google Ads without strategic foundation is just expensive traffic generation.

Most campaign failures happen because of poor brand positioning, unclear value propositions, or conversion funnels that don't align with customer psychology. I fix these fundamentals as part of campaign development because technical optimisation of broken strategy is just expensive failure.

There are plenty of consultants who'll manage your Google Ads campaigns. I'm the one who'll ensure your campaigns actually support sustainable business growth.

Do you use AI in your marketing approach?
drop down arrow icon

Yes, but strategically. While everyone's talking about AI marketing, most consultants just use basic ChatGPT prompts and call it revolutionary.
My AI approach focuses on solving real business problems: creating professional video content for Performance Max campaigns when clients don't have video assets or can't justify $10K production costs. Most businesses struggle with Google's push toward video-first advertising - I solve that systematically.
I also use advanced AI content systems for strategic marketing content and competitive intelligence gathering. It's not about the specific tools - it's about integrating AI efficiency with brand strategy and business objectives to deliver results that would be cost-prohibitive manually.
This is specialised enough that I now offer dedicated AI Marketing consulting, because combining AI capabilities with strategic business thinking gives funded companies massive competitive advantages.
The difference: most consultants use AI to work faster. I use AI to solve expensive marketing problems and deliver business results that wouldn't be feasible otherwise.
