01The core process
Planning and development of a Google Ads campaign relies on several key processes, each of which we run in order:
- Keyword research — we identify the most attractive sets of keywords that are highly relevant to your business, with the potential for a quick return on investment.
- Campaign setup — we ensure that campaigns are set up for the right campaign goals and the outcomes you actually want.
- Tracking — setting up conversion tracking for each conversion point is essential; without it, success cannot be measured.
- Reporting — at different stages we create performance reports that include an analysis of all the relevant aspects.
02Calculating ROI and ad spend
No campaign is efficient until it proves to be a source of profit for your business. That is why Four Dots Australia optimises for maximum conversion rate optimisation and not just for clicks — an emphasis we maintain throughout the whole process of PPC management. We look beyond the surface numbers to develop your business, so you can easily calculate the specific benefits our services bring. As long as you are seeing significant profit from your investment, you can be sure we are doing the right thing.
There is no universal budget benchmark. What you should spend depends on your industry, your competition, your goals and the return you expect. We assess your market, your competitors and your potential conversion rates, then recommend an optimal budget that maximises results while staying cost-efficient.
03Our approach to PPC advertising management
The first step in our PPC management process is understanding your business goals. That lets us customise a strategy that matches your specific needs and objectives, and it means learning about your target audiences and your unique selling points before we build anything. From there, strategies are tailored to achieve your specific goals — whether that is increasing traffic, generating leads or boosting sales.
Our team of experienced copywriters and designers create compelling ads that resonate with your target audience, and we optimise them continuously based on performance data. We conduct thorough keyword research to identify the most effective keywords for your campaigns, prioritising high-intent terms so your ads reach the users most likely to convert. We use advanced bid management techniques to maximise the efficiency of your ad spend, adjusting bids on performance data to maximise ROI.
PPC campaigns require constant monitoring and optimisation to stay effective. That means A/B testing, bid adjustments and continual refinement of targeting. And we provide transparent reporting so you can see exactly how your campaigns are performing — click-through rate, cost per click, conversion rate and ROI, together with our recommendations for what to change next.
04Why choose Four Dots Australia
With years of experience managing PPC campaigns for businesses of all sizes, our agency has the expertise to deliver exceptional results, and our team keeps its industry knowledge current as the platform changes. We believe in making data-driven decisions — strategies rest on analysis and continuous optimisation for maximum ROI, the same discipline we apply to on-page and off-page SEO.
We also understand that every business is unique. That is why we offer personalised service and customised strategies rather than a template. Four Dots Australia is a top 3% Google Ads Premier Partner agency globally, and we integrate paid search with SEO and conversion rate optimisation so the channels reinforce each other instead of competing for credit.
05What good Google Ads management looks like in practice
The clearest illustration is a restructure. For Western Wellness, restructuring the Google Ads account and changing the bid settings halved cost per conversion from $40 to $20, lifted click-through rate from 11% to 17%, and grew conversions from 10 to 47 — a 370% increase — inside the first month. Nothing about that required a bigger budget; it required the budget to be pointed at the right searches, with the right bids, and measured properly.
If your account has never been audited, or it was set up once and left to run, that is usually where the money is. Talk to us and we will tell you honestly what we would change and what it is likely to be worth.
