Real results from real businesses. These are the numbers our clients actually care about.
From 2-3 calls a week to 15+ quality leads
A residential plumber in Brisbane was relying on word of mouth and the occasional HiPages lead. We built a targeted Google Ads campaign with a custom landing page focused on emergency and maintenance work across his service suburbs.
47 seller appraisal leads in 30 days at $38 each
A boutique real estate agency in Sydney's Inner West needed consistent seller leads. We built a Meta Ads campaign with a free property appraisal offer, retargeting sequence and automated follow-up through their CRM.
Ranked #1 on Google Maps within 8 weeks — booked out 3 weeks ahead
A beauty salon in Melbourne's South East had a neglected Google Business Profile and zero organic visibility. We optimised their GBP, built local SEO foundations and started publishing weekly content targeting high-intent service searches.
ROAS from 1.8x to 5.2x after fixing tracking and restructuring campaigns
An Australian skincare brand was spending $8K/month on Google Ads with a 1.8x ROAS. We found duplicate conversion tracking, rebuilt their campaign structure around margin data and shifted budget to their highest-profit SKUs.

Real results from real businesses
These are real results from business owners who were exactly where you are now.
I was sick of getting calls from people just shopping around for the cheapest price. Since these guys took over my ads, every call is someone ready to book. Best move I've made for the business.
They completely turned around our ad account. We went from barely breaking even to a 5x return within two months. The tracking fixes alone saved us thousands in wasted spend.
We tried three agencies before finding these guys. First one that actually fixed our Google Business Profile properly. Now we're ranking top 3 in Maps and getting organic calls every day.
Finally an agency that gets it. They built us a landing page, set up the tracking properly and the leads started coming in week two. We're booked three weeks out now.
We'd been burning money on Google Ads for two years with nothing to show for it. In the first month with TAA we got 14 booked jobs from ads. Actual results.
The thing I appreciate most is they actually explain what they're doing. Every month I get a report that makes sense, not just numbers I don't understand.
Our ROAS went from 1.9 to 4.7 in 90 days. They restructured everything, fixed duplicate tracking we didn't even know we had, and shifted budget to our best sellers.
Other agencies promised the world and delivered nothing. These guys told us exactly what they'd do and then did it. Simple as that.
I was spending $3k a month on ads and getting maybe two or three leads. Now I'm spending the same and getting 20 plus. The difference is insane.
The leads we get now are completely different. People who are ready to book, not just asking for a quote to compare five other plumbers.
They took over our Meta Ads and within six weeks we had more enquiries than we could handle. Had to pause the ads for two weeks just to catch up.
Our Google Business Profile was basically invisible. Now we're in the top 3 for our main suburb and the calls come in every single day.
