Get My MatchesWhy Trust Clutch
At Clutch, we believe trust is the foundation of every business relationship. Our mission is to help buyers make confident, data-backed decisions informed by real client experiences.
Every review on Clutch undergoes a rigorous, human-led verification process to make sure it’s valid. Our team of specialists confirms the identity of each reviewer, ensures the project is legitimate, and only publishes reviews that meet our strict criteria.
Verification doesn’t stop at the point of publication. Our Trust & Safety team routinely audits older reviews against our guidelines. When reviews fall short of our standards, we remove them.
We evaluate service providers using a structured methodology that combines:
- In-depth client interviews and ratings
- Comprehensive project details
- Market presence
- Portfolio examples and industry recognition
This data powers tools like the Leaders Matrix, which helps you compare agencies directly. Our research team curates rankings by weighing verified reviews most heavily, so the most trusted and experienced providers rise to the top.
Using this unique combination of verified client feedback and provider-supplied insights, Clutch distills the most important details into clear, digestible summaries so you have everything you need to make confident, informed decisions quickly.
We take fraud seriously. Providers who violate our guidelines may face lower rankings, restricted visibility, or removal from the platform altogether.
Clutch’s commitment to transparency is ongoing. We’re constantly refining our systems to protect the integrity of reviews and support you in finding the right agency.

Google Ads PPC Agencies in Australia FAQs
Local Google Ads agencies bring first-hand knowledge of Australia’s competitive landscape, seasonal trends (think end-of-financial-year sales), and regional slang that impacts click-through rates. They also understand GST rules, privacy laws, and platform requirements specific to the Australian market. Essentially, on-shore support means you get real-time collaboration during AEST business hours—ideal for fast campaign pivots.
Pricing varies depending on key factors like scope, project timeline, and industry competitiveness. Based on Clutch data, most Australian PPC agencies charge:
- Hourly: AUD $100 – $149
- Monthly retainers: AUD $2,000 – $10,000 for SMBs
- Percentage of ad spend: 10% – 20% (common for enterprise budgets)
Moreover, one-off audits or campaign builds can start around AUD $3,000. Rates in major cities like Sydney and Melbourne trend higher than those in Adelaide or Perth.
Thanks to the country’s diverse economy, you’ll find specialised Google Ads PPC agencies for the following markets:
- E-commerce and retail (especially Shopify and WooCommerce stores)
- SaaS and tech (Sydney’s “Silicon Harbour” startups)
- Tourism and hospitality
- Finance and fintech (with hubs in Melbourne)
- Healthcare and telehealth
- Mining, energy, and agriculture for regional campaigns
Start by clarifying your project’s unique KPIs—ROAS, cost per lead, or overall revenue lift. After that, proceed with these steps:
- Review Clutch vendor profiles for verified case studies in your industry.
- Compare pricing models and identify which works best for your project (flat retainer vs. percentage of spend).
- Ask crucial questions about tech stack—are they certified in GA4, Google Partner status, or use scripts/automation?
- Evaluate communication cadence; weekly reporting is standard for active campaigns.
- Request local client references to confirm performance claims.
Warning signs are called that for a reason; ignoring them can lead to costly setbacks and headaches for your business. Be cautious if an agency shows any of these red flags:
- Guarantees specific rankings or ROAS within unrealistic timeframes
- Withholds account ownership or data access
- Offers “set-and-forget” management with no ongoing optimisation plan
- Ignores compliance with the Australian Privacy Act or Google Ads policies
- Provides templated reports lacking actionable insights
