How much does Google Ads management cost?

Our Google Ads management fees start from $250/month for ad spends below $1,000 and scale to $3,000/month for spends between $10,000–$20,000. Enterprise pricing is available for larger budgets and we offer dedicated SMB packages from $500/month. All engagements are month-to-month.
Do you offer free Google Ads audits?

What industries do you specialise in for Google Ads?
+
We work with e-commerce, SaaS, professional services, trades, and lead generation businesses across Australia and New Zealand. Our expertise spans B2C and B2B campaigns across Search, Shopping, YouTube, Display and Performance Max.
How long does it take to see results from Google Ads?
+
Most clients see early signal within the first 14 days and a meaningful ROAS lift within 60–90 days. We rebuild conversion tracking, audit the existing account, then launch tested campaigns based on data — never guesswork.
Do I keep ownership of my Google Ads account?

Always. Your Google Ads account stays in your name with full admin access — Carter Media is granted manager (MCC) permissions only. You own the account, the data, and the history. Nothing is held hostage.
Do you require a contract or lock-in period?

Every client receives a real-time Looker Studio dashboard plus a monthly performance report covering spend, ROAS, CPA, growth versus prior period, and the next month's strategic plan. Strategy meetings are held at a cadence that suits each client.
Do you manage Performance Max and Google Shopping campaigns?
