Our mission
Google Ads is a powerful tool for businesses looking to increase visibility and drive targeted & transparent revenue growth.
We manage over $2.4m of Google Ad spend annually
The Marketing Blend: Google Ads Strategy & Management paired with dynamic creativity.
As a results-driven Google Ads agency, we’re committed to cutting through the clutter and delivering clear, tailored Google Ads strategies and management services.
The proven Marketing Blend for Google Ads Management framework is a comprehensive, four-phase approach designed to maximise your ROI and drive transparent, tangible results for your business.
Our expert team develops a customised Google Ads strategy that covers search, display, shopping, and remarketing. We uncover new opportunities within the Google Ads platform and demonstrate their value in enhancing your overall digital marketing efforts, ensuring that your investment is secure and yielding the best returns.
From meticulous keyword research and ad creation to continuous optimisation and transparent reporting, our approach stays true to our mission of providing actionable, data-driven Google Ads management that gets results.
01Phase One: In-Depth Analysis and Google Ads Strategy
Your Google Ads strategy will be meticulously crafted based on insights we gather from your team and in-depth analysis conducted by our PPC Google Ad experts. Together, we’ll clarify:
- Your target audience, their online search behaviours, and how you’re currently reaching them.
- Your competitors and how they are currently performing on Google. We’ll identify their strategies and show you how we can outperform them in Google search results.
- The critical business objectives and goals you aim to achieve through Google Ads, whether that’s a return on ad spend or a cost per lead.
- Your unique selling propositions and how to highlight them in ad copy.
- Your landing page experience, which determines how well you are likely to perform in a Google Ads auction.
This process lets us understand your business, customer personas, sales funnel, and digital marketing efforts. From there, we’ll advise how to allocate your Google Ads budget to maximise ROI and capture your ideal audience effectively.
02Phase Two: Google Ads Campaign Incubator
In our ‘Google Ads Idea Incubator’ phase, we develop and document all the ideas generated to bring your Google Ads strategy to life. Without documenting this process, we’ve found that business owners and marketing teams can quickly get derailed and lose focus.
This essential step allows us to prioritise tactics, focusing on what will drive immediate results while planning for long-term growth as your Google Ads campaigns evolve.
03Phase Three: The Google Ads Marketing Blend
With the strategy as our guide and the idea incubator as our critical tactics list, we begin blending these elements together to move you toward your Google Ads goals. We work across various Google networks and tools, finding the best ways to utilise AI and automation to ensure you get the most cost-effective management fees and return on your overall ad spend. Our approach includes:
- Search campaigns for high-intent keywords
- Adding ‘Performance Max’ to create power pair campaigns
- Display campaigns for brand awareness
- Remarketing to re-engage interested users
- Shopping campaigns (if applicable) to showcase products
The monthly Google Ads Marketing Blend is a reflection of the impact you want to make, your budget, and available resources. It’s presented in an easy-to-read format. This approach ensures full transparency on ad spend, tasks, and campaign progress, reinforcing our commitment to open communication and transparency.
04Phase Four: Google Ads Campaign Implementation and
As we implement your Google Ads strategy, our team takes care of every aspect to ensure your campaigns are kept up to date and performing at their best:

Frequently asked questions
What is the cost of Done By Nine's Google Ad Management services?
Management starts from $950 a month and the ad creative, made by our own design team, from $1,500 a month. Both are New Zealand dollars and exclude GST.
What management costs scales with what you spend: a small always-on budget and a national campaign are not the same job. The ad spend itself is separate and goes to Google rather than to us.
Nine questions gives you an indicative figure for your own business in about three minutes, and there is no long-term contract on any of it.
How long does it take to see results from Google Ads campaigns?
Initial results can often be seen within the first few weeks of launching a campaign. However, for optimal performance and ROI, allow 2-6 months for continuous optimisation and refinement.
Your campaign’s success hinges on your Google Ads history, the data you’re already providing to Google, and your conversion tracking efforts.
Google works like a compounding interest account – the more data you can feed to it, the better (and faster) your campaign performance will be.
Can you help with landing page optimisation for better Google Ads performance?
While our ability to directly edit your site depends on your CMS, we always provide detailed recommendations for landing page optimisations during the ‘Marketing Blend’ process.
We’ll give you specific, actionable insights on what changes need to be made to improve your Google Ads performance and conversion rates.
How closely do you work with our team during the Google Ads management process?
We work very closely with your marketing team or key business stakholders throughout the entire Google Ads management process.
Regular communication via Slack and email ensures you’re always in the loop and able to provide input on campaign strategy and performance.
How do you stay up-to-date with Google Ads policy changes and new features?
We maintain direct connections with dedicated Google Account representatives in both Sydney and Dublin Google HQs, ensuring we’re always informed about the latest updates.
Additionally, we regularly attend events like the recent Google Marketing Live event in Sydney, keeping us at the forefront of Google Ads innovations and best practices.
What makes your Google Ads management services different from other agencies?
We take a strategy-first approach,using our dedicated ‘Marketing Blend’ framework, dedicating time to truly understanding your audience, business model, goals, KPIs, and website landing pages before launching campaigns.
This comprehensive understanding sets your campaigns up for success from the start, ensuring a more targeted and practical approach.
Can we get funding to work with Done By Nine?
Some of our digital marketing services may be eligible for up to 75% funding through the Regional Business Partners network.
Again, please note that setup and implementation services mentioned above are not covered.
Eligibility criteria vary across New Zealand, and funding is not guaranteed.
Which member of the Done By Nine team will I work with?
Your first introduction to Done By Nine will likely be with Jordan McFadyen (Done By Nine Founder).
During our discovery call, we’ll ask a series of questions to understand your specific needs, and information about your business before matching you with the marketing strategist that will have the best fit to your industry and needs.
Our team of marketing strategists has experience with various businesses, from start-ups to large enterprises, B2B to e-commerce, and it’s important for you that we match the best skills to match your business.
How will I know if my new Google Ads are going well?
Transparency is KEY! We give our clients full access to their ad accounts and analytics so that they can access it at any given time. Plus as part of your monthly Marketing Plan, you’ll have a clear picture on the goals that you need to track – and we’ll track them for you.
We provide a full summary of how your marketing plan is performing which allows us to adjust and pivot if needed.
What partnership programs are you a member of?
We are members of both the Google, META, Aircall and Klaviyo Partnership Programs.
However we also work with other marketing tools including HubSpot.
The Google Partners program is designed for advertising agencies and digital marketing professionals who qualify based on the spend they manage, their qualifications and ad quality scores. It allows these partners certifications, exclusive training sessions, industry research and further benefits.
