Built for new-arrival demand
Campaigns aimed at the searches new households actually run, from emergency trades to find-me-a-new-everything services, structured by the growth corridors where the rooftops are actually appearing.
GOOGLE ADS / BRISBANE
Brisbane is minting new households faster than almost anywhere in the country: the fastest interstate migration in Australia, a city growing over two percent a year, and a 2032 Games program of roughly $7.1 billion sitting inside a state construction pipeline above $120 billion. New arrivals have no plumber, no dentist, no accountant and no loyalties. They search, and incumbency means nothing to them. Ads are the capture layer for that demand, and the system behind the ads decides whether the click becomes a customer.
Campaigns aimed at the searches new households actually run, from emergency trades to find-me-a-new-everything services, structured by the growth corridors where the rooftops are actually appearing.
The construction pipeline is bidding up labour across the trades, which raises job values and makes premium leads worth paying for. Your cost-per-lead ceiling gets set from your numbers, not a national average.
A new arrival has never heard of anyone, so reviews, service areas and proof do the convincing. The landing page carries that load, and Google prices your clicks partly on its quality.
Conversion tracking wired before spend, because Google's bidding automation learns from it, and because the account, the data and the history stay yours whatever happens.
Not a percentage of spend, not a tier table with a setup fee surprise. The fee and scope in writing before anything runs.
BRISBANE
Queensland leads the nation for interstate migration, with net gains running at tens of thousands of people a year concentrated in Brisbane and the coasts either side of it. Every one of those households arrives without a single service relationship, and their first instinct is the search bar. That is structurally different from a static market where every customer won is a customer taken from someone else: in Brisbane, demand is genuinely new, and the contest is about capture and conversion rather than displacement.
The construction economy amplifies it. A Games program around $7.1 billion inside a state pipeline north of $120 billion has the industry forecasting a workforce shortfall peaking near 46,000 workers, which bids up trade labour and pushes job values with it. For a Brisbane trades business the implication is precise: leads are worth more here than the national arithmetic suggests, so the right question is not how cheap can a lead be, it is how reliably the system turns an expensive click into a booked, high-value job.
BRISBANE
Brisbane is one of the few markets where a ranking agency publishes a full price table, with tiers a few hundred dollars apart and a modest setup fee. Transparency deserves credit, but a tier price answers the wrong question. What matters is what the fee buys relative to what your clicks cost: a few hundred dollars of management on a market where trades clicks are among the dearest categories anywhere leaves no room for the weekly negative-keyword passes, page work and tracking hygiene that actually protect the spend.
Our answer is a flat fee sized to the scope, stated in writing, never a percentage of spend, alongside the parts the tier tables treat as extras: the landing page, because Google scores its experience into what you pay per click; the conversion tracking, because the bidding automation starves without it; and the local rankings and reviews, because a new arrival who searches, sees your ad, then finds three weak reviews and a slow site, was an expensive click wasted. The system is the product; the ads are its sharpest tool.
ONE PART OF THE SYSTEM
Paid clicks work hardest when the rest of the system is in place: a fast site, pages built to convert, tracking on real enquiries and local rankings that keep earning after the spend stops. That is how SevenLens runs Brisbane accounts, ads as one component of the growth system rather than a black box you pay to feed.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Published Brisbane tiers run from around $550 to $880 a month, and Australian agencies more broadly publish $800 to $2,000 plus, some as a percentage of spend. Ours is a flat fee agreed in writing on the call, never a percentage, and sized to a scope that includes the page and tracking work a tier price leaves out.
Indirectly but materially. Migration keeps minting searchers with no existing loyalties, and the construction pipeline bids up trade labour, lifting job values. Both raise what a well-converted lead is worth to you, which changes how much budget the arithmetic can justify.
You do: account, history, conversion data, campaigns. We manage as an invited user. If we ever part, everything stays with you, which is exactly how you should insist any agency arrangement works.
Impressions in days, steady results after the learning period. Google's automation typically needs two to four weeks of conversion data to settle, and we hold budgets modest until it has. Judge the account at ninety days on booked jobs.
It can be, with a caveat Google's own documentation implies: the automation optimises toward whatever you count as a conversion. Count only form fills and it will find you cheap, poor leads. Fed with qualified-lead signals it improves. We set that up before letting it spend.
Yes, all of it. The code, accounts, data and documentation are yours from day one. There is no lock-in, and another provider could take over if you ever wanted.
Stuart Asta, the founder. The person on your first call designs the work and stands behind it, with no account managers, no handovers and no offshore team you never meet.
We will tell you on the first call. A clear no is more useful than the wrong project, and it costs you nothing to find out where you stand.
