Yes. Every number on this page was read out of the client's own advertising account and is printed here exactly as the study publishes it, beside the period it covers. The dashboard and ad images are screen-grabs of that account rather than recreations. If one of these figures matters to your decision, ask about it on the first call and we will walk you through where it came from.

The headline figure covers within 6 weeks, and every other figure on the page is printed beside the period it belongs to. We publish the LENGTH of a measurement window and the year, and withhold the exact dates — when a client advertised, and how their trading calendar looks, is their commercial information rather than ours. A conversion means one real action by one real person: a phone call that lasted long enough to be a conversation, a submitted enquiry form, a booking, or a purchase. Not a page view, and not a form that merely loaded.

We cannot promise you the same numbers, and nobody honestly can. What this page tells you is what was achievable in that market, at that budget, for that service. Your competition, your service area, your margins and what one customer is worth to you all move the answer. On the first call we build the picture from your figures rather than someone else's, and if the honest answer is that this channel is wrong for you right now, we will say so.

Because in most of these engagements there was nothing reliable to start from. A brand-new advertising account has no history, and a business that was tracking enquiries on paper or in a spreadsheet has no comparable figure either. Where a real before-number exists we print it next to the after-number, so you can see the movement rather than take our word for it. Where it does not, we print the result on its own. Back-solving a starting point from a percentage would make the page look better and mean less.

We cannot tell you that, and nobody honestly can. What this page tells you is what was achievable in that market, at that budget, with that service. Your competition, your service area, your margins and what a customer is worth to you all move the answer. On the first call we build the picture from your numbers rather than from someone else's, and if the honest answer is that this channel is wrong for you right now, we will say so.

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 — the smallest companies we work with invest a minimum of A$3,000 a month, and our largest clients run multiple eight figures a month across paid channels. Our management fee is separate and scales with the work. The first call is free and you leave it with a real figure for your situation.

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.

No long-term lock-in. We would rather keep the work because it is producing than because a contract says you have to stay. What we do ask for is enough runway to be fair to the account — a campaign judged on its first ten days is being judged during the part where we are still cutting waste out of it. Terms are put in front of you in plain English before anything is signed.
