Every figure above was read out of this client's live account and is reproduced exactly as the study publishes it. It is a record of what happened on one account, in one market, at one budget — not a forecast for yours.
What would this look like on your account?
Different market, different budget, different numbers. The first call is where we work out whether the same approach fits yours at all.

The case study
About UltraCare
UltraCare is a premium home cleaning service focused on spotless results and friendly, reliable teams. The goal was simple: fill the calendar with high-intent bookings, not just clicks. We launched a Messenger-first ad campaign, tightened targeting, and refreshed creative. The outcome was consistent leads, lower cost per enquiry, and happier households across Australia.
The Challenge
Multiple issues were holding UltraCare back from turning ad spend into reliable, booked appointments.
Low Brand Recall
Busy families scrolled past generic cleaning ads, making it tough to stand out or be remembered.
Weak Value Proposition
Messages promised clean homes but lacked proof, urgency, or a premium angle to justify pricing.
Overreliance on Emojis
Creative leaned on novelty instead of benefits, reducing trust with higher-intent audiences.
Broad Audience Targeting
Spend was spread thin across mixed interests, diluting reach to ready-to-book homeowners.
Creative Fatigue
One stock image in multiple placements led to declining click-through rates within days.
Messenger Drop-Offs
People started chats but stalled before sharing details or confirming appointments.
Incomplete Tracking
Leads from chat and site forms were not stitched together, obscuring true cost per lead.
Seasonal Demand Spikes
End-of-lease and holiday peaks created volatile costs and inconsistent lead quality.
Our Strategic Approach
Strategy
We reframed UltraCare as the premium yet approachable choice for time-poor homeowners. Then we rebuilt the funnel around fast Messenger replies and proof-driven creative. Testing ran weekly with clear success metrics, letting us scale winners and pause the noise quickly.
Service Focus
We highlighted UltraCare's signature inclusions: kitchen degrease, bathroom sparkle, and hotel-style bed making. Copy spelled out outcomes, not chores. Short benefit stacks, trust badges, and authentic team photos moved attention from price to value.
Click-to-Chat Ad Strategy
We used Click-to-Messenger campaigns with pre-filled prompts. "Need a quote? Studio, two bed, three bed." The first message delivered an instant price range and next available slots. Response time targets under two minutes kept momentum hot.
Premium Positioning, Zero Fuss
We introduced "Ultra results without the elbow grease" and backed it with real before-and-afters, staff ID checks, and public liability proof. Pricing tables framed Standard and Deep Clean tiers, steering chats toward higher average order values.
Target Audience
We built lookalikes from past bookers, layered with homeowners, parents, and recent movers. Exclusions removed recent engagers who already booked. Local radius targeting prioritised profitable suburbs with short travel times.
Creative Testing Sprint
Weekly sprints rotated three concepts: proof-led carousels, friendly team portraits, and checklist graphics. Each variant had unique headlines and first lines to avoid ad fatigue. We kept winners and rewrote the rest.
Tracking and Measurement
We connected Messenger leads to the CRM via Zapier, applied UTM rules, and built a cost-per-booked-clean view. This uncovered the true leader campaigns and justified shifting budget to high-intent placements.
Services Delivered
Results
within 6 weeks
We measured success by booked cleans, not vanity clicks. The new funnel turned casual scrollers into scheduled jobs, with stronger margins and happier customers. Creative variety kept ads fresh while Messenger prompts sped up quoting.
Why This Matters
Home services live and die by trust, speed, and clarity. By sharpening the promise, simplifying the path to book, and proving quality, UltraCare turned ad spend into dependable revenue. The playbook now scales to new suburbs and services, with ongoing testing to keep costs lean and calendars full.

That is one account. Yours is a different one.
We read your ads, your search presence and your tracking the same way this one was read, and tell you what we would change first.
What every number on this page actually means.
Marketing words get used loosely, and a loose word can make a small result look like a big one. Here is exactly what we mean by each of them.
- Conversion
- 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.
- Cost per job · cost per lead
- The advertising money spent, divided by the number of those actions. It is the only figure that tells you whether the advertising is worth doing, which is why we publish it next to the count.
- Conversion rate
- The share of people who clicked the ad and then did the thing. A high click count with a low conversion rate usually means the ad and the page are promising different things.
- Ad spend
- Money that went to the advertising platform, not to us. Our management fee is separate and is never included in a cost-per-job figure, because mixing them would flatter the number.
- The measurement window
- The dates the figure covers, named every time. Where a study covers a launch, the clock starts the day campaigns went live — not the day the graph started looking good.
- A starting point
- Where a study knows what a figure was before the work began, that number is printed next to the one it became. Where the account had no history to compare against, the result is printed on its own rather than measured from a number nobody recorded.
- Qualified lead
- An enquiry that matched the service and the service area, so it was worth someone picking up the phone for. Where a study says qualified, somebody checked.
- An anonymised client
- Government, council and cultural-institution engagements are published as sector and jurisdiction only. The work and the measured outcome are described in full; the organisation is not named.
One more, because it matters most: nothing on this page is a guarantee. It is a record of what happened on one account, in one market, at one budget.
What this study cannot tell you is what the same figure looks like on your account — so the cost-per-lead calculator, with your own click price and close rate. It takes about a minute and asks for nothing.
This page exists because of two of the six stages.
Compound is how our team works on any account — six stages every change passes through. Two of them are why there is anything honest to publish.
Meter
If it can't be measured, it doesn't get bought.
Before a dollar moves, every action worth money to the business is tracked as itself — calls, forms, bookings, purchases — with values attached. Without that stage there is no honest number to publish afterwards.
Ledger
Every change we make becomes a record you can open.
Every change lands in a dated record as it happens — what was added, what was stopped, what was rewritten and what it cost. Writing this page afterwards was reading a file, not reconstructing a memory.
What actually happens after the first call.
No mystery and no lock-in before you have seen anything. This is the sequence every account on this site went through.
- The call
Thirty to forty-five minutes, free
What you sell, who buys it, and what one customer is worth to you. No deck. You leave with a real number for your situation rather than a range.
- Week 0
The audit
We open your account — or your competitors' ground, if you do not have one yet — and write down every leak we can find. That list is yours whether or not you work with us.
- 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. A second person checks all of it before anything is live.
- 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.
- Days 1–14
The clean
The busiest fortnight your account will ever have. Search terms read daily, waste negated, early winners promoted, ad copy iterated against what is actually being served.
- From there
Rhythm
Weekly optimisation, reporting on a fixed cadence whether the news is good or bad, and a proper conversation each quarter about where the next block of budget should go.
Before you ask us anything
Here is what everybody asks first.
The questions this raises.
Whether the figures are real, how they were measured and over what length of window, what it costs, and whether any of it would hold for your business.
The first call is free and there is no deck.
Book a callAre the figures in this case study real?
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.
How were these numbers measured, and over what window?
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.
Would this work for my business?
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.
Why does this study show a result but not a starting point?
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.
Would my business get the same result?
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.
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 — 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.
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 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.
More accounts, same discipline.
Studies from the same kind of work, so you can see how the pattern holds across different businesses.

The work that produced this.
Everything above was delivered by one of a handful of things we do. These are the ones this account leant on, written up in full rather than summarised.
- How trades accounts are built hereThe channel order we use for a home services business, what it costs to run, and what the first ninety days actually produce.
- Winning the suburbs you already serviceService-area work: the map pack, review velocity and the pages that make a suburb claim credible.
- Booked jobs, not just phone callsThe difference between a busy phone and a full diary is qualification, and it is fixable at the ad rather than at the office.
The briefing behind the work.
The case study records what happened. These two explain the channel, measurement or operating decision that made the result interpretable in the first place.
Creative, offer and follow-up choices for visual service categories, without pretending every lead is a job. That case is argued in What quick-win paid social for trades actually means.
Why acquisition quality cannot be judged from the platform before the downstream fields are clean. The other half of it is set out in The CRM hygiene behind a social lead form.
The work behind this one is written up in full under how trades accounts are built here, and the operating sequence behind every study on this site sets out the sequence in order.
