Local Context

Why Melbourne is different

Melbourne's population grew by over 140,000 people in a single year (the largest increase of any Australian city), which means the addressable audience behind every Google Ads campaign is expanding, but so is the number of advertisers bidding for it. Cost-per-click pressure in Melbourne's commercial categories reflects that: more businesses launched in Victoria last year than almost any other state, and a meaningful share of them are bidding on the same head terms.

We manage Melbourne Google Ads accounts on efficiency, not just spend: tight account structure, conversion tracking that reflects actual revenue events, and geo-targeting calibrated to how spread out Melbourne's commercial activity actually is, rather than treating the whole metro as one homogenous audience.

What we know about this market

Melbourne's advertising geography is unusually spread out for an Australian capital. High-value commercial activity sits in the CBD, in inner-suburban retail strips, and in outer growth corridors that are adding population fastest, so campaign geo-targeting has to be built around where the buyers actually are, not just around the CBD postcode.
