Google Ads that bring booked work, not just clicks

Google Ads is the fastest way to turn searches into bookings. When someone types "emergency plumber" or "physio near me", we put your business at the top of the results and pay only when they click. Done properly, it brings you the work you want — the right job, the right area, the right kind of customer. Done badly, it burns your budget on bad-fit leads, broad-match keywords, and clicks from the next state over. LUNA Systems runs Google Ads for Australian service businesses: tradies, clinics, allied health, professional services, salons. We tell you what's being spent, what's converting, and which campaigns to kill. No 12-month contracts. No locked-in management fees. You can leave any month.

How It Works

How It Works

1

Discovery call

30 minutes. You tell us about your business, your average job value, your service area, and what you've tried. We listen. No pitch.

2

Audit + plan

If you've already got Ads running, we audit the account first and tell you what's wasted. If you haven't, we map out which campaigns to run first and what the budget should be. Written plan. Yours to keep.

3

Set up tracking and launch

Google Ads conversion tracking, GA4 events, call tracking, form tracking. Connected to your CRM so we know which click became which job. Then we launch the first campaigns and let them learn.

4

Optimise weekly. Report monthly.

Inside the account most days in the first month. After that, the optimisation rhythm is weekly: kill what's not converting, scale what is, write new ads, refine negative keywords. Monthly report is plain English.

What's Included

Features

Audit what's running first — if you've already got Google Ads, we show you what's wasted before we touch anything. Most accounts have 30–50% of spend going to garbage
Build campaigns around real intent — high-intent searches get aggressive bids, low-intent searches get negative keywords
Set up proper tracking — calls, form submissions, bookings all tracked back to the keyword, ad, and campaign that brought them. You see cost per booking, not cost per click
Write ads that pre-qualify — if your minimum job is $300 and a click costs $12, your ad copy can save you 80% of the wrong calls
Test, then taper — we won't keep spending your money if it's stopped working
Monthly summary that takes five minutes to read — three numbers: Spent, Booked, Cost per booking
You see the ad spend — Google bills you directly. We don't touch your card. Whatever Google charges, you see
No percentage-of-spend management fee — fixed monthly fee, disclosed in writing before you sign. We don't pay ourselves more just because you spend more on Google
Powered by AI, reviewed by humans — AI for account analysis and ad variants, humans for every change before it goes live

FAQ

Common Questions

How much should I be spending on Google Ads?

Depends on your service area, your competitors, and your average job value. As a rough guide: a metro service business in a competitive category (plumbing, locksmith, electrical) usually needs $1,500–$3,000 a month in ad spend to see consistent volume. A regional business or a niche service can work on $500–$1,000. We tell you the realistic floor on the discovery call.

What's your management fee?

Fixed monthly fee, disclosed in writing before you sign. The fee depends on the size of your account and how many campaigns we're running. There's no percentage-of-spend model — you don't pay us more just because you spend more on Google. That's a conflict we don't want.

What if Google Ads doesn't work for my industry?

Some industries don't fit Google Ads well. Pure impulse-buy businesses, low-margin retail, anything where the customer isn't actively searching. We'll tell you on the discovery call if your business is in one of those categories. We'd rather lose the sale than take your money on a campaign we don't believe in.

Will I see what's being spent each day?

Yes. You have full owner access to your Google Ads account. You can log in any time and see every keyword, every ad, every dollar. We don't run "agency-managed" accounts that hide the data.

Do you run Performance Max campaigns?

Sometimes. PMax can work well for some categories and badly for others — it often eats budget on bad-fit traffic because Google decides where to spend it. We use it where it makes sense, not because it's the latest thing.

How quickly will I see results?

First clicks within hours of launch. First bookings usually within the first week. Optimised performance — meaning we've killed the bad campaigns and scaled the good ones — typically 4–6 weeks in. We don't promise top spot in 24 hours like the cold-call agencies do.

What if I'm already running Google Ads and it's a mess?

That's most of the accounts we take over. The first job is auditing what's there, killing the obvious waste, and restructuring. Plenty of clients see costs drop in the first month without us adding any new campaigns — we just stopped paying Google for searches that were never going to convert.

Can you also run Meta Ads, or just Google?

Both. They work differently. Google catches people who are searching for what you sell. Meta gets you in front of people who haven't started searching yet. Most service businesses run both. We tell you the right mix for your business on the discovery call.
