    How we measured

      Since ads began, air conditioning supply, installation and servicing made up 33% of won job value from Google Ads. In the last 30 days, as the weather warmed, it made up about half. Electrical work still carried about two thirds of the value since launch.

    Aussie Electrical's account separates electrical services, local areas and air conditioning. Over two consecutive 30-day periods, jobs won from traced Google Ads enquiries increased 67%, and their agreed value increased 28%.

    The business

    Aussie Electrical is the electrical business of the Aussie Home Services group, alongside Aussie Plumbing and Aussie Drains. Its licensed electricians work across Sydney, the Central Coast and the Blue Mountains, and it is an accredited Level 2 Service Provider, so it can work on the supply to a home as well as the wiring inside it.

    The work runs from no-power call-outs and fault finding to smoke alarms, power points, switchboard upgrades, Level 2 mains and metering, and air conditioning supply, installation and servicing. Some of it is urgent and some of it is planned weeks ahead.

    What we set out to do

    The aim was to make Google Ads pay in won jobs, not just in clicks or calls. That meant reaching people searching for each kind of electrical job in each part of the service area, and tracing every enquiry from the ad to the client's job records, so the return could be measured in the value of work the client actually won.

    What we built

    The account separates service and location campaigns, with dedicated streams for switchboards, Level 2 work, no-power enquiries and air conditioning. Fans, smoke alarms, lighting, power points, meter boxes and three-phase work are represented in the ad groups, and local groups include Umina Beach, Blacktown, Campbelltown, Terrigal, Gosford and Katoomba. The structure serves a customer who knows the installation they need and one who can only say the power is out.

    A few weeks after launch, air conditioning got a campaign of its own, with its own tracked phone number. Calls and web forms are traced to the ad they came from, then matched to the job the client marked as won, at the agreed job price. Each search lands on a page about that exact job, on the site described in the Aussie Electrical website case study.

    What happened

    Jobs won from Google Ads enquiries increased 67% in the last 30 days compared with the previous 30, while won job value increased 28%. Dedicated service campaigns covered switchboards, Level 2 electrical work, no-power enquiries and air conditioning, each linked to relevant pages and tracked enquiries.

    What informed the next steps

    The dedicated air conditioning campaign gives installation and servicing work its own messages and tracked number. Electrical campaigns cover switchboards, Level 2 mains and metering, smoke alarms and urgent faults, with local ad groups across the service area.

    Keeping those services separate makes the enquiry records useful: each call or form can be reviewed against the work the team quoted and won.

    Aussie Electrical: 67% more jobs won from Google Ads enquiries

    What the results measure.

    The definitions behind the campaign results, from enquiries and conversion rates to advertising spend.

    Conversion
    An action recorded under the account’s conversion setup, such as a tracked call, form submission, booking or purchase. Platform call/form enquiries are described separately in the study; repeat calls can be separate events, so enquiries are not necessarily unique people.
    Cost per job · cost per lead
    Advertising spend divided by the relevant recorded enquiry or job count. The study identifies the denominator. Enquiry cost is considered alongside lead quality and job value.
    Conversion rate
    Recorded conversion actions divided by ad interactions, usually clicks. The study identifies which actions count toward its rate.
    Ad spend
    Money spent on the advertising platform. The enquiry costs and revenue-to-ad-spend figures here exclude agency fees and the cost of delivering the client’s service.
    The measurement window
    The period covered by the result, with spend and outcomes drawn from the same reporting window.
    A starting point
    Starting values appear beside the resulting figure when the account history is available.
    Qualified lead
    An enquiry assessed against the agreed service, service area and customer requirements.
    An anonymised client
    A project published without the client’s name. The page identifies its sector and explains the scope of the work.

    Put your own numbers to work: how many of your leads have to become jobs, with your own click price and close rate. It takes about a minute and asks for nothing.

    How we run accounts

    How we manage the campaign.

    We define the outcomes to track, test the enquiry paths and use what we learn to guide campaign improvements. SoudCoh Compound explains how that work is organised.

    • Rule 01

      Count real enquiries only

      The number it moves: True cost per lead

      We agree which calls, forms, bookings or sales count as a result, and a real test enquiry goes through every tracking path before the campaign goes live.

    • Rule 08

      Build on practical campaign experience

      The number it moves: Waste blocked before the first click

      Every change on an account like this one is written to that client's change history, and what it teaches, never the client's numbers, goes into the next account's starting point.

    If you want one of these

    What actually happens after the first call.

    Start with your goals and current setup. We review the opportunity, agree the work and plan the next stage with you.

    1. The call

      Thirty to forty-five minutes, free

      We discuss your services, customers, website and goals, then identify the most useful next step.

    2. Week 0

      The audit

      We review your website and advertising, then set out the opportunities, priorities and recommended scope.

    3. Week 1

      The build

      Everything the account needs before it can spend a dollar: what it will bid on, what it must never pay for, the ad copy, the assets, the landing pages and the tracking. It waits in our approval queue, and a real test enquiry goes through every tracking path before anything is live.

    4. Day one

      You press go

      Campaigns are created paused, every time, so you can read the whole build first. You activate when you are ready, not when we are.

    5. Days 1–14

      The clean

      We review search terms, exclude irrelevant searches and refine keywords and ads using the early campaign data.

    6. From there

      Rhythm

      Regular optimisation and reporting, with reviews of lead quality, customer value and where to focus the next stage of work.

    Before you ask us anything

    Here is what everybody asks first.

    FAQ

    The questions this raises.

    How the results were measured and how the approach could apply to electricians.

    The first call is free and there is no deck.

    Book a call
    What did SoudCoh deliver for Aussie Electrical?

    Service and local-area search campaigns, with dedicated switchboard, Level 2 and no-power streams. A separate air conditioning campaign with its own tracked phone number. Calls and web forms traced to the ad and matched to the client's job records.

    What do the results in this Aussie Electrical case study measure?

    Campaign results describe the enquiries or job outcomes reported for the client. Each figure identifies what it measures.

    Which records support these results?

    Result basis: Last 30 days compared with the previous 30. The labels distinguish advertising conversions, call/form enquiries and won-job revenue. Enquiry events can include repeat calls; booked jobs are reported separately.

    Would this work for electricians like mine?

    We assess your service area, competition, margins and customer value, then build a plan around the opportunities in your business. The first call establishes the priorities, budget and tracking for that work.

    How would you plan this for my business?

    We start with your goals, service area, competition and customer value. From there, we recommend the channels, website improvements and tracking that fit your next stage of growth.

    How much would this cost to run?

    Two separate numbers. Your ad spend goes to the platform, and what it needs to be depends on how competitive your market is and how many jobs you want — we recommend a minimum of A$5,000 a month for most businesses, and the largest companies we work with currently invest up to A$30,000 a day in advertising, with enterprise programmes above that. Our management fee is separate, isn't published and is custom-built around the work — contact us for packages. The first call is free and you leave it with a real figure for your situation.

    How quickly could we start seeing enquiries?

    It depends on the channel. Paid search meets demand that already exists, so calls and forms can arrive within hours of launch, and the first two to four weeks are an optimisation period where waste is cut daily. Most accounts settle into their best rhythm around 60 to 90 days. SEO, content and brand work run on a much longer clock — months rather than weeks — and we will tell you which one your situation actually needs.

    Am I locked into a long contract?

    No long-term lock-in. We agree on the scope, terms and a sensible review period before work starts.

    Ready to plan your campaign?

    Thirty minutes on your numbers, and a written list of what we would change first. Yours to keep either way.

    A real conversation and a written list of opportunities.
