Budget and testing examples (Australia)

• Local services (metro): $50–$150/day per core service for 30 days to reach 100–300 clicks/ad group; expect CPCs $2–$15, higher in legal/finance.
• Regional services: $30–$80/day; expand radius and hours; expect lower CPCs and volumes.
• Ecommerce: $100–$300/day per category in Performance Max + $50–$150/day for branded Search; set tROAS after 30–50 conversions.
• B2B: $80–$200/day with tight negatives; supplement with remarketing for longer cycles.

Set clear decision gates: pause non-performers, shift budget to winning ad groups, and implement negatives weekly.

Sense-check my budget

Measurement examples: tracking what matters

• Lead gen: primary conversion = qualified form submit or 30+ second call; secondary = micro actions (quote view, brochure download).
• Ecommerce: enhanced conversions, GA4 purchase with revenue, server-side if possible, feed revenue matched to ads.
• Offline conversions: import from CRM (won deals) to improve Smart Bidding.
• Dashboards: blend spend, leads/sales, CPA/ROAS, and quality indicators (call outcome, deal stage).

Common mistakes (with better examples)

• Too-broad themes in one ad group → Split by service and intent; match landing page to each theme.
• No negatives → Build seed negatives on day one and add weekly from search terms.
• Weak landing page → Add proof, pricing context and fast paths to contact or buy.
• Rushing Smart Bidding → Feed 30–50 conversions first or use realistic tCPA/tROAS targets.
• No call tracking → Track call duration and quality; count only qualified calls.
