Choosing a Google Ads Agency in the Sutherland Shire

What a local Google Ads agency should actually do for a Shire business — and the questions worth asking before you sign anything.

We're based in Cronulla and a large chunk of our clients are Shire businesses — trades in Caringbah, clinics in Miranda, retailers in Sutherland, brands out of Taren Point. Local matters more in Google Ads than people expect.

Local search intent is different

Someone searching from Gymea for a plumber has a different intent to someone browsing statewide. Radius targeting, suburb-level bid adjustments and location-specific ad copy consistently outperform generic Sydney-wide campaigns for Shire businesses.

We know what a Shire lead is worth

Because we run accounts across the same suburbs and the same trades, we already know the realistic cost per lead in your category here. You don't spend three months discovering benchmarks we can hand you on day one.

Questions to ask any agency

  1. 1Who owns the Google Ads account — me or you? (It must be you.)
  2. 2What's the realistic cost per lead in my industry, locally?
  3. 3Are you sending traffic to my homepage or a purpose-built landing page?
  4. 4Can I see the search terms report whenever I want?
  5. 5What happens if I want to leave?
If an agency won't give you account ownership, that's the end of the conversation.
