Google Ads management in Adelaide costs a flat $890 per month at MP Launch — not a percentage of your ad spend. Setup and conversion tracking are included, and your ads run in your own Google Ads account with your card paying Google directly. Three months is the honest minimum to judge results, then it's month to month.
Last updated: 1 August 2026
What's included every month?
Ad copy, written and tested
Ads written for your services and areas, then variants tested against each other so the better one keeps running.
Bid and budget management
Bids, schedules and locations adjusted through the month so your budget goes where the enquiries actually come from.
Conversion tracking, genuinely built
Call clicks and form submissions tracked properly — built in-house, not a pixel pasted in and hoped for. If it isn't tracked, it can't be optimised.
A monthly plain-English report
What you spent, what it cost per click and per enquiry, and what we're changing next month — explained like a human wrote it.
Setup is included — and so is the landing page option
Agencies typically charge $750–$2,000 just for Google Ads setup (per Grove Foundry's Australian cost guide) before a single ad runs. With us, setup is part of the flat fee: keyword research, campaign build, ad copy and conversion tracking, done before your first month of management even starts.
And here's the part most ads agencies can't offer: we also build the page your ads land on. We build websites for a living — a dedicated landing page can be live in 48 hours, designed around the exact searches you're paying for. One team owns the ad, the page and the tracking, so when something underperforms there's no finger-pointing between your “ads guy” and your “web guy”.
What does Google Ads management cost in Adelaide?
Australian benchmark fees, all per Grove Foundry's Google Ads management cost guide:
| Typical fee | Market tier |
|---|---|
| $400 – $600 /mo | Budget tier |
| $800 – $1,500 /mo | Standard small-business tier |
| $1,500 – $2,500 /mo | Professional tier |
| 10 – 20% of ad spend | Percentage-of-spend models |
| $890 /mo flat | MP Launch — setup + conversion tracking included, never a % of spend |
How we sit at $890 with professional-tier inclusions: AI does the heavy lifting on research, analysis and reporting, and you skip the account-manager layer — you deal directly with the person doing the work. What you don't skip is the work itself.
The honest numbers
Your ad budget is yours — paid straight to Google, in your own account. We recommend at least $1,500/month of ad spend. Below roughly $500/month there isn't enough data to optimise (Grove Foundry) — so if your budget is under that, we'll tell you ads aren't right yet.
The one way this loses: paying management fees on a spend too small to learn. We'd rather turn the work away than charge you for it.
How does it work?
1
A quick call
We talk through your services, suburbs and budget, and tell you straight if ads aren't right for you yet.
2
Setup — included
Keyword research, campaign build, ad copy and conversion tracking, all in your own Google Ads account. No setup fee.
3
Ads live in days
Your campaigns go live within days, with calls and form enquiries tracked from day one.
4
Managed every month
Bids, search terms and ad tests worked through the month, plus your plain-English report.
The term, stated plainly: there's a 3-month initial term, because the first weeks of a new ads account are a learning period and three months is the honest minimum to judge the results. After that it's month-to-month — stay because it's working, not because a contract says so.
Reviews
What clients say about their launch.
Real 5-star Google reviews from Australian businesses we've put online.
We brought MP Launch in to get us found on Google and it's made a real difference. Peter took the time to understand the business, moved everything over smoothly with no downtime, and keeps us updated every month on how we're tracking. Genuinely feels like they care about the results, not just getting paid. Really happy we made the switch.
David Hills
I had an excellent experience working with MP Launch and Peter to create my website CU & D. From the very beginning, Peter was professional, responsive and genuinely invested in bringing my vision to life. He took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and delivered a website that looks fantastic, is easy to navigate and perfectly represents my business… I highly recommend MP Launch to anyone looking for a professional, high-quality website and outstanding customer service.

Can't begin to explain how happy I am with my new business set up. Peter is very professional and listened to and executed my vision I'm already seeing an increase in business because of his work.
Kirsty Rowe
MP Launch absolutely nailed my website. I had a vision for my hairdressing business, but they somehow made it look even better than what I had in my head. The whole process was so easy, quick and stress-free, no confusing back and forth, no drama, just straight to the point and done properly. My website looks clean, professional, on-brand and honestly just so me.

Peter has been fantastic to deal with from start to finish. Communication has been prompt, clear, and professional throughout the entire process. Any questions or changes were handled quickly, and he made everything easy to understand… we couldn't be happier with the outcome and highly recommend MP Launch to any business looking for a professional website and digital setup.

Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. As someone with zero tech experience, Peter made things effortless. He took total control, kept me in the loop, and put things simply in a way that was easy to understand. I knew I was in good hands right from the start. Fantastic service and result — highly recommend Peter and the team.

Peter understood the type of image we were trying to project and applied it perfectly. He was extremely quick, communicated clearly and was very cheap for what his services were. Thanks Pete. Great job.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Google Ads management cost in Adelaide?
Published Australian benchmarks (Grove Foundry) put management fees at $400–$600/month at the budget tier, $800–$1,500/month for standard small-business management and $1,500–$2,500/month at the professional tier, with some agencies instead charging 10–20% of your ad spend — plus typical setup fees of $750–$2,000. MP Launch charges a flat $890/month with setup and conversion tracking included, and never a percentage of spend.
Do you take a percentage of my ad spend?
No, never. Our fee is a flat $890/month regardless of what you spend. Your ad budget is paid by your card, straight to Google, in your own Google Ads account — it never passes through us. Percentage-of-spend pricing rewards the agency for spending more of your money; a flat fee doesn't.
Who owns the Google Ads account?
You do. The account is created in your business's name (or we use your existing one), and we manage it with manager access. If you ever leave, you remove our access and keep everything — the account, the history and all the data.
How much ad budget do I need?
We recommend at least $1,500/month paid directly to Google. Below roughly $500/month there isn't enough click data to optimise against (Grove Foundry's benchmark) — and paying a management fee on a budget that small is the one way this clearly loses. If your budget is under that, we'll tell you ads aren't right yet rather than take the fee.
Why is there a 3-month initial term?
Because the first weeks of any Google Ads account are a learning period — the data has to accumulate before the optimisation pays off. Three months is the honest minimum to judge it. After that it's month-to-month and you can stop any time.
Do I need a website built by MP Launch?
No. We can point your ads at your existing website or build a dedicated landing page for the campaign — we build websites for a living, and a landing page can be live in 48 hours. Either way, conversion tracking is set up properly before a dollar is spent.
Are you a Google Ads agency or a freelancer?
A small Adelaide agency — big enough that your campaigns are managed on proper tooling with a documented process, small enough that you deal directly with the specialist doing the work rather than an account manager. If you've been burned by either extreme — a solo freelancer who vanished, or a big agency where you were the smallest client — the flat-fee model here is designed for exactly that gap.
Is Google Ads the same as AdWords?
Yes. Google renamed AdWords to Google Ads in 2018, so 'AdWords management' and 'Google Ads management' are the same service — search ads on Google. If you're comparing AdWords agencies in Adelaide, compare them on three things: fee structure (flat vs % of spend), who owns the account (you should), and whether conversion tracking is included. Ours: flat $890/month, you own it, tracking included.
Want your ads run on a flat fee?
$890/month flat, setup included, your account stays yours. Leave your details and Peter will call you back — or skip the form entirely:
