Ads that catch real buying intent

Golden Marketing is run from the Northern Beaches. Not a head office in the CBD, not an overseas team you will never speak to. When you work with us, you work with Lachlan, the founder, directly.

Google Ads is the channel that catches people at the exact moment they are looking for what you do. Search ads sit at the top of Google when someone types "emergency plumber Manly" or "EV charger installer Dee Why", which means the click you pay for is already a half-qualified lead. For the right Northern Beaches business, it is one of the fastest channels to the phone ringing.

It is not for every business, though. Where someone is actively searching, Google Ads usually wins. Where they need to be reminded you exist (cosmetic services, new products, lifestyle businesses), Facebook and Instagram ads tend to land cheaper leads. We build the campaign that fits the business, not the channel.

One person, start to finish. No account managers, no handballing, no outsourcing your work overseas

We know the local market, so the targeting and the copy land with the right people in the right suburbs

No lock-in contracts and plain English reporting, so you are never stuck and never in the dark

FAQ

Common questions from Northern Beaches businesses

Straight answers, no jargon, no sales pitch.
Do you manage Google Ads for Northern Beaches businesses?
Yes. Golden Marketing manages Google Ads campaigns for small businesses across the Northern Beaches, from Manly through to Avalon. Campaigns are tightly geo-targeted to local suburbs and built around the exact search terms your customers use.
What does a marketing agency actually do for a small business?
For a local business, a marketing agency handles the work that gets you found and turns interest into enquiries. That usually means setting up and optimising your Google Business Profile, building or improving your website, running Facebook and Instagram ads, helping you collect Google reviews, and improving your search rankings over time. The goal is real leads, not vanity metrics.
How much does Google Ads management cost?
Golden Marketing's Google Ads management starts around $500 a month, plus whatever you choose to spend with Google directly on ads. Most local trades and service businesses spend $300 to $800 a month on ad spend depending on how busy they want the phone to be. Ad spend is paid directly to Google, not to us, so there is no markup. No lock-in contracts.
Do I have to sign a long contract?
No. Golden Marketing does not use lock-in contracts. Monthly services can be cancelled with 30 days' notice. We would rather earn your business every month with results than tie you into something you cannot leave.
I have been burned by a marketing agency before. How are you different?
A fair concern, and a common one. With Golden Marketing you work directly with Lachlan, the founder, from the first call to the monthly report. There are no account managers and no outsourcing. Reporting is in plain English, pricing is upfront, and there is no lock-in contract. If it is not working, you can walk away.
Google Ads or Facebook Ads, which is better for a Northern Beaches business?
Different jobs, both can work. Google Ads is best when people already know what they need and are searching for it (emergency plumber, EV charger install, smash repairs). Facebook and Instagram ads are best for showing your business to people who would buy it if they saw it but were not actively searching (cosmetic services, new products, local cafés, awareness). For most small businesses on the Northern Beaches, a properly set-up Google Business Profile plus one of the two paid channels is usually the right mix.
