WHY IT MATTERS
Why digital marketing matters for healthcare.
Search Intent Is Exceptionally High
When someone searches for an emergency plumber, electrician, builder, or concreter, they are usually looking to hire immediately. Google Ads and Local SEO place your business in front of customers at the exact moment they need your service.
Local SEO Generates Consistent Leads
Location-based searches such as "electrician Point Cook" or "builder Werribee" often produce highly qualified enquiries. Ranking well in local search results can become a reliable source of ongoing work.
Campaign Structure Determines ROI
Many trades businesses lose budget through poor keyword targeting and account setup. Proper campaign management, negative keywords, and conversion tracking significantly improve lead quality and advertising performance.

FAQs
Common questions.
How much should I spend on Facebook Ads?
For a local service business, $1,000 to $2,500 per month in ad spend is a workable starting range. For eCommerce, budget should be set relative to your revenue targets and average order value.
How is Meta Ads different to Google Ads?
Google captures demand -- people searching for what they need right now. Meta creates demand -- showing people something relevant while they browse. Both have a place in a complete strategy.
What is the Meta Pixel and why does it matter?
The Meta Pixel tracks visitor behaviour on your website and reports it back to Meta, allowing the algorithm to find more people likely to convert. Without a properly configured Pixel, campaigns run blind.
Do you produce the ad creative?
We can produce creative through our in-house team and Westend Photography, or work with assets you supply. Original brand photography consistently outperforms stock images.
How long do Facebook Ads take to work?
New campaigns enter a 1 to 2 week learning phase. Expect stable results from week three onward. Most well-structured campaigns reach performance targets within 60 to 90 days.
Can you run ads on Instagram as well as Facebook?
Yes. Both platforms are managed through Meta Ads Manager. Most campaigns run across both with placement-specific creative.
