How Much Does PPC Management Cost in Adelaide?

PPC management in Adelaide has 2 separate costs: the management fee and the ad spend. A management fee is what you pay an agency to run the account; a flat $800+GST per month is what we charge. Ad spend is the budget you pay directly to Google, and most Adelaide businesses run from around $1,500/mo. On top of that, your click costs depend on your industry: roughly $3-8 per click for trades and $8-25 per click for professional services in Adelaide.

The management fee

The management fee pays for the work of running the account: build, optimisation, landing pages and conversion tracking. Flat fees keep the agency’s incentive aligned with yours, because the fee does not rise with your budget. We charge a flat $800+GST per month.

The ad spend

Ad spend is separate and paid directly to Google, in an account you own. Most Adelaide businesses run from around $1,500/mo. Owning the account matters: you keep it, and its history, if you ever change agencies.

Click costs by industry

Click costs vary by how competitive your industry’s search terms are. In Adelaide, trades run roughly $3-8 per click and professional services roughly $8-25 per click. This is why a fixed “cost per lead” promise is a red flag: an honest operator sets a click-cost range up front rather than a number designed to win the pitch.

What a realistic Adelaide budget looks like

As a worked example, a trades business at $1,500/mo in spend and $5 per click gets roughly 300 clicks a month. What turns those clicks into enquiries is a purpose-built landing page and tight geo-targeting. A roof-replacement page we ran converted at 43.88%, and account-wide the accounts we manage average $18.96 per conversion.
