Proposal · July 2026 Google Ads Campaign · 12 Month Plan

Own the top of
Google in
Brisbane North.

A targeted Google Ads campaign for North Brisbane Trees, planned across a full twelve months. Your SEO has won page one across Brisbane north, the enquiries are flowing, and your own data proves the demand, from emergency tree removal when the La Niña storm season hits to the steady arborist and removal work in between. One space is left that rankings can never reach: the paid placements above the organic results. This plan claims it, and times the budget to the seasons.

◆ Why now
A plan for the whole year
Launch conservative, go hard through the La Niña storm season, hold a lean floor through the quiet winter. Projected 140 to 210 additional enquiries across the twelve months, on cautious assumptions.

01 · Google Ads for North Brisbane Trees

SEO built the base. Ads takes the top spot.

The SEO campaign has done the hard part: number one in Brisbane north for arborist and tree removal searches, eighteen of your twenty tracked terms on page one, and a website that now drives roughly nine out of ten new visitors. Google Ads is the natural next step, not a replacement. Paid results sit above everything else on the page, they go live in days rather than months, and they guarantee North Brisbane Trees is there for every targeted term, every single search.

We propose three tightly themed campaigns matched to your services, geo-targeted to Brisbane north and greater Brisbane, run to a twelve month budget plan built around your seasons: aggressive through the La Niña storm season, lean through the quiet winter. Conversion tracking wires into the GA4 setup we already manage, so you see exactly what every dollar produces.

02 · Where You Stand

Page one is won. Now own the space above it.

Your June report tells a success story. Eighteen of your twenty tracked terms sit on page one, with number one positions for arborist Brisbane North and tree removals Brisbane north. Organic search delivered roughly nine out of ten new visitors in June, and the website recorded 37 tracked enquiry actions for the month across forms, phone taps and emails. The work is paying for itself.

Which leaves two clear opportunities. The paid placements that sit above every organic result, including your own number ones, which any competitor can currently buy for a few dollars a click. And the wider Brisbane-wide searches, where your rankings are climbing but ads deliver top-of-page reach across the whole city from day one.

From your June 2026 ranking report. Number one for arborist Brisbane North and tree removals Brisbane north, top four for lopping, pruning and removals, and the organic channel driving 624 of 695 new visitors for the month.

The SEO campaign is doing exactly what it should
2× page one
Google always places ads above the organic results, so even a hard-won number one ranking sits beneath whoever bids on the term. With a campaign live, North Brisbane Trees holds two placements on the page instead of one. It also unlocks the citywide market immediately: tree removal Brisbane and brisbane tree removal alone were searched 750+ times in June while your organic listings sat mid-page. Ads put you at the top of those searches from day one.
03 · The Campaign Structure

Three campaigns, built on proof

We are not guessing at keywords. Every theme below comes straight from your own ranking report and search data, so the budget goes to the terms Brisbane buyers are demonstrably typing in right now.

Campaign 1 · Tree Removal & Lopping

Your core revenue line, and the campaign that goes aggressive through storm season.

Campaign 2 · Arborist Services & Reports

High-value consulting work, including the council and development driven demand for arborist reports.

Campaign 3 · Land Clearing & Earthmoving

Two high-value service lines with their own landing pages: broadacre and development land clearing, plus driveways, house pads, drainage and site cuts. New to paid, so we launch lean and let the data set the pace.

⚠ What we deliberately exclude

Your June data shows DIY queries, research-only terms and job-seeker searches. In a paid campaign, every one of those clicks would cost money. Strict geo-targeting plus a negative keyword list makes sure the budget only ever reaches local buyers with intent.

04 · The 12 Month Plan

Spend with the seasons, not against them

Tree work in Brisbane is seasonal, so a flat budget wastes money. This plan launches conservatively to prove the cost per enquiry, goes aggressive when the La Niña storms arrive and emergency work spikes, then pulls the budget back through the quieter autumn and winter months, keeping presence on the year-round arborist and removal terms while demand is low.

Phase 1 · Aug
Launch & learn
$1,000/mo
A deliberately conservative start across all three campaigns. Prove the cost per enquiry with real data before a single dollar is scaled.
Phase 2 · Sep to Oct
Storm prep ramp
$1,250 to $1,500
Demand builds as Brisbane gets trees storm-ready. Budget steps up behind removal, lopping and pruning while competition is still moderate.
Go aggressive
Phase 3 · Nov to Feb
Storm season peak
$2,000/mo
Peak La Niña storm season. Emergency removals, insurance work and urgent jobs, the highest-intent searches of the year. This is when the top of the page earns the most.
Phase 4 · Mar to Jul
Ease off through the quiet season
$1,000 to $1,500
Taper through March, then hold a lean floor across the quiet autumn and winter, keeping presence on the year-round arborist and removal terms while demand is low.

≈ 140 to 210
$100 to $125
The estimated all-in cost per enquiry across the year, ad spend and management combined, on deliberately cautious assumptions of $3.50 to $5.00 per click and a 4 to 5% enquiry rate. Against tree jobs worth hundreds to thousands of dollars each, one converted job in most months covers the entire campaign.
The forecast is a guide, not a lock. Spend is paid directly to Google on North Brisbane Trees' own account, we review the plan against results every month, and budgets move up, down or pause whenever the data or your workload says so. Projections are estimates, not guarantees, and month 1 tells us plenty.
05 · How It Runs

From sign-off to live in two weeks

1
Build · weeks 1 to 2
We build the account, the three campaigns, the ad copy and extensions, the Brisbane geo-targeting and the negative keyword list, and wire conversion tracking into your existing GA4 form, phone and email events.
2
Launch
Ads go live at the top of Google across Brisbane north for your chosen terms. Unlike SEO, there is no climb: top-of-page presence starts the day the campaign switches on.
3
Optimise · month 1 onwards
We watch the search terms people actually typed, prune the waste, push budget to what converts, and test ad copy. Month 1 management is included in the setup fee.
4
Report, review, scale
Every month you see spend, clicks, enquiries and cost per enquiry in plain English, alongside your SEO report, and we adjust the 12 month plan against the real numbers before the next phase.
06 · Investment

The investment

One fixed setup fee to build and launch everything, with the first month of management included. From month 2, management is a simple 20% of the ad spend, so our fee scales up when we go aggressive for storm season and scales straight back down when we pull back.

%

Why a percentage? A flat fee rewards an agency for doing nothing. At 20% of spend, our fee is tied to the size of the campaign we are actively managing. When we pull the budget back in the quiet months, our fee drops with it, and there is never a surprise invoice. Management is calculated on the actual spend each month.

All prices exclude GST. Ad spend is paid directly to Google on North Brisbane Trees' own billing and is separate from Insight Digital fees. Management from month 2 onwards is calculated at 20% of the actual monthly ad spend. Forecast figures and projected enquiries are estimates based on current search data and typical local click costs, not guarantees.
