- Keeps suggesting you spend more
- Reports that hide where the money went
Google Ads management · South Africa
Ads that answer to you.
Not to Google.
Google Ads set up to protect your budget, not Google's. Your ads show for the searches that bring paying customers, and the junk gets blocked before it costs you a cent.
Why ads leak money
Google's settings are built to spend.
Tried Google Ads and got calls about everything except what you sell? That's not bad luck. It's the default setup doing its job.
Every rand has a job
- Only the searches that bring buyers
- Wasted searches blocked before they cost you
- Spend limits that actually hold
- Plain-English reports on what each lead costs
Budget protection
Pay for buyers, not browsers.
Someone searching "emergency plumber Germiston" wants to hire you today. Someone searching "plumbing jobs" or "how to fix a geyser" never will. We make sure your money only goes on the first kind.
- Junk searches blocked before launch, not after the spend
- Your searches checked every day, not once a month
- Hard limits so a bad day can't empty your budget
- Only your area, only your hours, if that's what pays

What's included
From first search to booked job.
A click is only worth something if it turns into an enquiry. So we look after the whole path, not just the ad.
Buying searches only
The exact phrases people type when they're ready to hire or buy, in the areas you serve.
Budget guardrails
Wasted searches blocked, spend capped and your account checked daily, so nothing runs away.
Ads worth clicking
Clear, local ad copy with your phone number, location and services right in the ad.
Every lead counted
Calls, forms and chats tracked properly, so you know exactly what each enquiry costs.
Pages that convert
We build websites for a living, so your ads land on pages made to turn clicks into calls.
Results you can see
Live results whenever you want them, plus a plain-English monthly report on spend, leads and next steps.
How it works
Start small. Prove it. Then grow.
No big spend on day one. We find out what a lead really costs you first, then put more behind what works.
- 01
Check & plan
We review your current ads (or your market if you're new), then agree the searches and areas to win.
- 02
Build & protect
Campaigns, ads and tracking set up, with the junk already blocked before anything goes live.
- 03
Launch controlled
A capped budget to start, watched daily, until we know your real cost per lead.
- 04
Report & scale
A clear monthly report, then more budget behind the searches that bring paying customers.
Pricing
Our fee. Your ad budget. Kept apart.
You pay Google directly from your own account, so you always see every rand. We charge a flat fee for the work, never a cut of your spend.

From your own account, on your own card. We never hold or mark up your budget.
- Your account, always

Below R5,000 a month there usually aren't enough clicks to learn what works. We'll tell you honestly if ads aren't right for you yet. Reboot website clients: ask us about package pricing.
What we don't do
No markup on your ad spend, no lock-in contracts, no paying for searches you'd never choose, and no reports dressed up to look good.
Ads questions
Straight answers.

I've tried Google Ads before and it wasted my money. Why would this be different?
That's the most common story we hear. Out of the box, Google shows your ads for far more searches than you asked for and spends the whole budget either way. We switch that behaviour off, block the junk before launch and keep checking every day.
How much should I spend on ads?
We recommend starting from R5,000 a month in ad spend. Less than that and there usually aren't enough clicks to learn what works. We start controlled, find your real cost per lead, then grow from there.
Who pays Google?
You do, directly, from your own Google Ads account. We never hold or mark up your ad budget. Our management fee is separate and flat.
How soon will I get enquiries?
Ads can bring enquiries in the first week. The first month is about finding which searches turn into paying customers, then we put more of your budget behind those.
Do I need a new website?
No, ads can run to your current site. But where you send people matters, so if your pages are losing you enquiries, we'll tell you what to fix.
Should I do ads or SEO?
Ads bring enquiries now. SEO builds visibility you own over time. Many businesses run ads while their SEO grows, then lean on whichever brings customers cheapest.
Is there a contract?
No lock-in. Setup is a once-off fee, and management runs month to month, so you stay because it's working.
