Choosing a Google Ads Agency in Brisbane
Ask Better Questions Before You Choose
Choosing a Google Ads agency in Brisbane is a significant decision for a builder or trade business, because the wrong setup can spend your budget on clicks that never become enquiries. Legacy Media works only with construction businesses and manages Google Ads campaigns for builders and trades across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and the Gold Coast, so we are glad to answer the questions below before you commit to anything.
Talk Through Your CampaignWhat to Ask a Google Ads Agency in Brisbane

What will I see in reporting?
How do you decide my budget?
Greater Brisbane Is Several Markets
Greater Brisbane spans several councils including Brisbane City, Moreton Bay, Logan and Ipswich, and the building activity across them varies a great deal.
Established Suburbs
Paddington, New Farm and Bulimba typically involve renovations and extensions to character homes.
Middle-Ring Suburbs
Chermside and Carindale see a mix of renovations and rebuilds.
Outer Growth Areas
Ripley, Yarrabilba and North Lakes are more likely to involve new home builds.
Because people in each area search differently, we build separate campaigns by service and location and do not rely on one broad Brisbane campaign. Our wider approach to keyword research, ad creation and reporting is set out on our Google Ads services page.
What Brisbane Builders Ask About Google Ads Agencies
Do I need an agency based in Brisbane to run Google Ads in Brisbane?
No, because Google Ads campaigns are built around the locations you choose to target. Google’s guidance on targeting ads to geographic locations advises targeting where your customers are, which is not necessarily where your business or agency is located, so the quality of the local research matters far more than the office address.
How should I judge whether a Google Ads agency is performing?
Look at qualified enquiries and cost per qualified enquiry rather than clicks or impressions alone, and check that the agency can show you which services and suburbs are producing them. Clear reporting that explains what was changed and why is also a good sign that your account is being actively managed.
Do I need separate campaigns for Moreton Bay, Logan and Ipswich?
It depends on where you build, but separating areas is usually worthwhile when the type of work differs between them. Google Ads lets you target areas within a country, cities or a radius around a location, so we can match campaigns to your actual service area.
What does an agency need from me to get started?
We typically need details of your services, your service areas and the kinds of projects you want more of, along with access to your website so conversion tracking can be set up. Information about how enquiries are handled once they arrive also helps us judge their quality.
Is a Google Ads agency worth it for a small builder with a modest budget?
A narrow, well targeted campaign focused on your best services and suburbs often suits a modest budget better than a broad one, because the spend is not spread across searches you do not want. We build around that focus and report on cost per qualified enquiry so you can see whether the budget is working.
