Campaigns Built Around Your Suburbs and Project Types

Legacy Media is a Melbourne agency that works only with the construction industry, so the Google Ads campaigns we build for Melbourne builders reflect how clients here actually search. Whether you build custom homes in the bayside suburbs, run renovations across the inner east or deliver new homes in the growth corridors, we structure your account so each service and area has its own budget, keywords and ad messaging.

Good Campaigns Start With the Right Structure

Pay per click advertising for construction behaves differently to retail or hospitality, because a single enquiry can become a project that runs for months and a click from the wrong suburb or project type is wasted spend. That’s why campaigns work best when they’re separated by what you build and where, instead of sitting inside one broad campaign.

Campaign Type Typical Melbourne Focus What We Keep Separate
Renovations and extensions Established suburbs such as Kew, Hawthorn and Brighton, where heritage overlays and planning controls shape what homeowners search for Keywords, ad copy and landing pages for each renovation service
Custom and new homes Growth corridors such as Officer, Clyde and Cranbourne, plus infill areas where owners are choosing a builder for a new build Budgets and locations by corridor or estate
Knockdown rebuilds Suburbs with older housing where owners are weighing a rebuild against a renovation Search terms that signal rebuild intent
Commercial and specialist trades Business owners and project managers searching for a contractor by service Dedicated campaigns so lower-volume searches are not buried

Why Location Targeting Matters Across Melbourne

Melbourne is a large market, and enquiries from one area can be worth far more to your business than clicks from another. Google’s own guidance on refining location targeting describes comparing results by geographic area and running separate campaigns for the areas that perform best. We apply that approach to the suburbs you actually build in and review results area by area, so budget moves towards the locations producing qualified enquiries and away from areas that only produce clicks.

Ad Creative From Your Own Projects

Because our photography and videography teams are also based in Melbourne, your ads and landing pages can use real images and footage from your own sites. Our professional photography and professional videography services give your campaigns genuine project visuals, which lets a homeowner see the quality of your work before they pick up the phone.

Questions About Builder Google Ads in Melbourne

The split depends on where your enquiries have come from, which project types are most valuable to your business and how competitive each area is. We usually start with the suburbs you already build in, then review geographic performance data in your account and move budget towards the areas that produce qualified enquiries.

Separate campaigns are generally the better approach, because the searches, ad messaging and landing pages differ between the two and they would otherwise compete for the same budget. Keeping them apart also makes reporting clearer, since you can see exactly what each service is costing you per enquiry.

It can be, because each project is large and a smaller number of well-qualified enquiries may justify the spend. For lower-volume builders we focus on tight targeting by service and suburb, and we judge results by cost per qualified enquiry and not by click volume.

Yes, and we recommend it, because genuine images of your own work are more persuasive than generic imagery. If you need fresh material, our Melbourne production teams can capture it on site.

Google Ads includes geographic performance reporting that shows where clicks and conversions come from, and we review it as part of regular optimisation. If an area is producing clicks without enquiries, we reduce or exclude it so the budget works harder elsewhere.
