PPC - Digital Marketing Services

What is Ads Setup?

Ads Setup is the essential first step in launching successful Google Ads campaigns. It involves crafting compelling ad copy and structuring your campaigns while ensuring all technical aspects are perfectly configured.

At Visual Marketing Australia, we create ads that are visually engaging, aligned with your brand voice, and designed to drive quality leads. By leveraging our expertise in PPC advertising, we lay the groundwork for campaigns that resonate with your audience and deliver measurable outcomes.

The Importance of Professional Ads Setup

Setting up PPC campaigns requires more than just a basic understanding of Google Ads. It demands in-depth knowledge of the platform, your industry, and your target audience. A poorly configured campaign can lead to wasted ad spend, low conversion rates, and missed opportunities.

90% of underperforming campaigns stem from flawed setups: misconfigured tracking, poor audience segmentation, or disconnected analytics. Our ads specialists transform this complexity into competitive advantage by:

  • Building a future-proof architecture aligned with business goals

  • Ensuring pixel-perfect data collection for data-driven decisions

  • Eliminating wasted spend via platform compliance audits

That’s why partnering with a trusted digital marketing agency like Visual Marketing Australia is crucial. With years of experience in PPC management, our ads specialists ensure your campaigns are built for success from day one.

Our 5-Step Google Ads Setup Framework

Designed by VMA’s Certified Google Ads Specialists

This framework lays the foundation for every successful Google Ads campaign we run. Each step is carefully planned to ensure your account is fully optimised, data-ready, and primed to deliver measurable results from the start.

We secure permissions, audit existing structures, and implement best-practice hierarchies:

  • Campaign/ad group templates for PPC campaigns

  • Brand safety protocols and policy compliance checks

  • Location/time zone alignment for precise digital advertising

A scalable foundation for PPC management.

Cross-platform data unification is non-negotiable. We:

  • Link Google Ads with GA4 and Search Console

  • Map user journeys from click to conversion rate

  • Configure UTM parameters to track lead generated sources

Unified insights for campaign optimisation.

Track every dollar earned—not just spent. We deploy:

  • Purchase/sales tracking for e-commerce

  • Phone call/lead form event monitoring

  • Landing page micro-conversions (PDF downloads, sign-ups)

Transparent ROI measurement across online advertising.

Turn visitors into high-value customers with:

  • Remarketing lists for abandoned carts/service pages

  • Custom intent audiences based on competitor/keyword research

  • LinkedIn/email list imports for account-based targeting

Laser-focused outreach to quality leads.

I was in a real spot as my Hypnotherapy website was not showing up on Google at all and there was no "website" tab on my google business profile. After doing a google search for website help and then reading all the amazing reviews for John and VMA I rang on a Wednesday arvo and got John on the other end of the phone. What a lovely man! He understood the issue and said he could get it all sorted by Friday arvo. I instantly felt confident ...AND he did get it all sorted by then.
VMA is my "GO TO" from now for ANY issues... 100% True🔵Blue service... love VMA❤️

I recently moved my website to VMA, and I have to say that it was the best decision I've made. After becoming frustrated with my previous host company, I decided to take a chance on VMA. I was pleasantly surprised by how accommodating John and his team were throughout the entire process. They handled everything smoothly and professionally, without any complications. Since then, I haven't had any issues with my website, but I know that if I ever do, the team at VMA will handle it proficiently. Overall, I highly recommend VMA for anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy hosting company.We moved our website to VMA early in 2023 to manage our site after becoming disillusioned with our previous host company. John was very accommodating, and the team at VMA performed the process smoothly and professionally without complications. Since then, all has been well, and any issues are handled proficiently.

John is truly the website design King ! He's been so patient with me as we were going through the design and support for my website. John is not only extremely knowledgeable when it comes to website creation but he is also highly creative. The website he created for my business far exceeded my expectations! I wouldn't trust anyone else with this important piece of my business.
I've never looked at my watch when I needed him. I'm 100% confidant that he's there for me.
It's valuable , and I really appreciate it.
This is quality.
