Paid Search
Google Ads & PPC Agency in Melbourne
Search campaigns that reach people already looking for what you sell, with tracking built to prove real cost per customer, not just clicks.
Quick Answer
ZAVYANS provides Google Ads for businesses in Melbourne, remotely from our offices in Islamabad and Arlington, Virginia, with calls in your business hours. The work typically covers keyword & negative keyword management, landing page review and conversion tracking, with reporting and invoicing in AUD. It starts with a free proposal call.
Why Melbourne businesses work with us
Live calls in your afternoon (AEST/AEDT), which is our Islamabad team's morning
Campaigns researched around Melbourne's finance, education, retail and a fast-growing tech sector
One team running SEO, paid media and software, instead of managing separate vendors
Reporting and invoicing in AUD, with no local office overhead added to your cost
Why Google Ads is different from social ads
Social platforms interrupt people who were not looking for you. Google catches people who have already decided they want something, which is why search campaigns often deliver the lowest cost per qualified lead of any paid channel, once tracking is set up properly.
The catch is that most Google Ads accounts waste real budget on broad keywords, missing negative keyword lists, or landing pages that do not match search intent. We fix the tracking and structure first, then scale spend behind what is actually converting.
What's included
Keyword and negative keyword management
Intent-based targeting and an actively maintained negative keyword list.
Landing page review
Pages checked and improved so ad spend does not land somewhere that will not convert.
Bid and budget management
Budget moved toward what is producing results, reviewed weekly.
Conversion tracking
Proper event tracking so results are measured on leads and sales, not clicks.
Transparent reporting
Cost per lead and cost per sale reported clearly, not just clicks and impressions.
Campaign strategy and structure
Search, Shopping and Performance Max built around real buyer intent, not guesswork.
Doing business in Melbourne
Melbourne rivals Sydney in size but has a different business mix: a large education sector built around its universities, strong retail and hospitality, and a tech and creative cluster that has grown around Cremorne and the CBD fringe. It tends to reward brand-led, creative campaigns more than a purely direct-response approach.
Getting tracking right before scaling spend
Google can only optimise toward conversions it can actually see. A correctly configured tag setup, clean conversion actions and, where relevant, offline conversion imports for sales that happen outside the website, all matter more to results than the bidding strategy itself.
Avoiding wasted clicks
Broad match keywords without a maintained negative keyword list are the most common source of wasted spend we find auditing new accounts. We review search terms weekly and adjust targeting before waste compounds.
Areas of Melbourne we cover
Campaign location targeting is set around where your customers actually are, so budget isn't spent on clicks from outside your service area. In Melbourne that usually means:
- the Melbourne CBD
- Docklands
- Southbank
- Richmond and Cremorne
- St Kilda
- Box Hill
We work remotely, so where you're based in Melbourne doesn't change how the engagement runs.
Google Ads in Melbourne: costs, timing and what to expect
Google Ads costs in Melbourne depend on your industry and how competitive your suburbs are. Here are the common ranges for management in the Australian market, before ad spend.
| Option | Typical range | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Flat monthly management | A$800 to A$3,000 per month | Most small and medium Melbourne businesses |
| Percentage of ad spend | 10% to 20% of spend | Larger or fast-growing budgets |
| Setup (one-time) | A$500 to A$3,000 | Audit, conversion tracking, campaign build |
Ranges reflect common Australian market pricing and vary by industry, competition and scope. We quote a clear fee in writing after a short call.
What's different about Melbourne
- Target by radius or by suburb, for example Richmond, St Kilda, Docklands, Box Hill and Dandenong, so you only pay for clicks where you actually serve customers.
- Run ads on a schedule in AEST/AEDT (UTC+10, UTC+11 in daylight saving), and bid up during the hours your phones are staffed.
- Ads and landing pages must follow the Australian Consumer Law: no misleading prices, claims or 'from' prices you can't honour.

Frequently asked questions
Do you have an office in Melbourne?
Not yet. We serve Melbourne and the rest of Australia remotely from our offices in Islamabad, Pakistan and Arlington, Virginia (USA), with scheduled calls in your afternoon and written weekly reporting.
Do you run Google Shopping for online stores?
Yes, including product feed clean-up and campaign structure.
Can you track phone calls and form submissions?
Yes. We track calls, form submissions and, where relevant, offline sales, and import qualified leads back into Google for better optimisation.
Can you take over an existing account?
Yes. We audit it first, keep what works and fix what does not.
How much should I budget for Google Ads?
It depends on the cost per click in your market and the value of a customer. We estimate a realistic range from keyword research before you commit budget.
Can you still deliver everything a Melbourne-based agency would?
Yes. Paid media, SEO, website and software development, and AI automation are all handled the same way, just coordinated remotely instead of from a local office.
Do you manage Performance Max?
Yes, when tracking and creative assets are strong enough. We set guardrails so it does not spend on low-value traffic.
Do I need a new website or landing page?
Not always, but a slow or unfocused page wastes ad spend. We review your pages and recommend or build one if needed.
How long until Google Ads produces leads?
Search campaigns can produce enquiries within days. Reaching a stable, profitable cost per customer typically takes 4 to 8 weeks of optimisation.
Which areas of Melbourne do you cover?
All of Melbourne and the surrounding area, including the Melbourne CBD, Docklands, Southbank and Richmond and Cremorne. Campaigns and local SEO can be focused on the specific areas you serve.
Are you a PPC agency in Melbourne?
Yes. Alongside Google Ads, we manage Microsoft (Bing), Meta and LinkedIn ads for Melbourne businesses as one PPC plan, remotely with calls in your business hours, with accounts in your name and reporting on leads and sales.
How much does Google Ads cost in Melbourne?
You pay Google for clicks plus a management fee. Management commonly runs A$800 to A$3,000 a month for small and medium businesses. Click costs vary by industry: legal, trades and finance are among the most expensive. We estimate your costs with Google's Keyword Planner before you commit.
Can you target specific Melbourne suburbs?
Yes. We can target by suburb, postcode or radius, for example Richmond, St Kilda, Docklands, Box Hill and Dandenong, and exclude areas you don't serve.
Do you work in Melbourne business hours?
Yes. Melbourne is 5 hours ahead of our delivery team in Islamabad (6 in daylight saving), and we schedule calls and updates within your business hours in AEST/AEDT (UTC+10, UTC+11 in daylight saving).
