Google Ads LITE

Get found on Google for the one search that matters.

Fully managed Google Ads for local service businesses. We aim your budget at one bullseye phrase, in one location, pointing at one page - and keep it running without the agency overhead.

One bullseye phrase

The single search your best customers actually type - "emergency plumber", "deck builder", "dog groomer". We find it, and we own it.

1

One location

Your service area and nothing else. No budget wasted on clicks from places you'll never work.

1

One landing page

Every click lands on the one page that sells what you do - your website or a page we agree on together.

Is this you?

Built for businesses with a simple, strong pitch.

LITE is deliberately focused. That focus is what makes it affordable - and what makes it work. We pre-screen every business before taking them on, so you'll only pay for it if we're confident it will deliver.

A great fit

  • Tradies - plumbers, sparkies, builders, painters
  • Local services - lawns, cleaning, pest control, pets
  • Cafes and simple local businesses
  • One clear service, one clear area
  • A modest budget you want spent carefully

Not the right fit

  • Online stores and ecommerce catalogues
  • Multiple services across multiple regions
  • Complex sales funnels or long B2B cycles
  • Accounts that need constant hands-on work
Need more than LITE? That's what our full-service Google Ads management is for - and plenty of LITE clients graduate up when they're ready to grow.

How it works

Super fast setup. Then we handle it.

From questionnaire to live ads with as little of your time as possible - most steps need nothing from you at all.

Quick onboarding questionnaire

A short set of questions about what you do, where you work, and what a good customer looks like. Ten minutes, tops.

Account access and billing

We set up (or connect to) your Google Ads account. Ad spend goes on your card, straight to Google - you always own the account.

We build your search campaign

Bullseye phrase research, tightly-written ads, location targeting, and conversion tracking - included, so we both know it's working.

You approve, we launch

Nothing goes live until you've seen it and given the nod.

Ongoing reporting and optimisation

A clear monthly report in plain English, and continuous tune-ups powered by our tech - with a human eye across every account.

Pricing

One flat fee. No surprises.

No setup fee, no lock-in gymnastics, no invoice you need a translator for.

Questions

The things people ask.

Why only one phrase, one location, one page?

Because that's where small budgets win. Spreading a modest budget across dozens of keywords and suburbs is how ad money disappears. Concentrating it on the single highest-intent search in your area is how it comes back as jobs.

How much ad spend do I need?

That depends on your trade and your area - we'll recommend a sensible starting budget during onboarding. Ad spend is yours to set, goes straight to Google, and is separate from the NZ$250 management fee.

How is this so much cheaper than normal agency management?

The package is deliberately simple, and we've built tooling that does the heavy lifting on monitoring and optimisation - with an experienced human reviewing every account. Less overhead for us means a lower fee for you.

What if my business outgrows LITE?

That's a good problem, and a common one. When you're ready for more phrases, more locations, or more channels, you graduate to our full-service management - same team, no re-onboarding.

Do I own my Google Ads account?

Yes. It's your account and your billing - we manage it with access you can revoke any time. If you ever leave, everything stays with you.

Ready to own your search?

Tell us your trade and your town. If LITE is the right fit, we'll have you set up fast - and if it isn't, we'll tell you straight.
