Know Your Competition.
Close the Gap.

Most Google Ads accounts are leaking budget through structural problems they haven't found yet — and running blind against competitors they've never mapped. Two services that fix both, delivered in 48 hours.

What We Do

Not an Agency. Not a Retainer.
Services that will make an impact.

Google Ads is typically the largest marketing investment an eCommerce business makes. Yet most accounts are underperforming — not because of budget, but because of structural issues that compound quietly over time: campaigns competing against each other, search terms that were never reviewed, ad copy written without knowledge of what competitors are saying, and bid strategies applied without a rationale.

These three services address the root causes. A Gap Analysis shows exactly where budget is being lost and what to fix first. A Competitor Intelligence Report shows the market landscape before a dollar of copy is written. A Campaign Build Report gives you a complete, ready-to-implement plan — so you can launch with the right structure from day one, without signing up to a retainer.

Each service is built around deep, account-specific analysis — not a template with your logo dropped in. The output reflects your account, your market, and your competitors. Delivered in 48–72 hours.

Let's Have a Chat
  • Stop losing budget to problems you can't see
    The Gap Analysis goes 10 pillars deep — traffic quality, bid strategy, RSA headlines, keyword cannibalisation, negative keyword gaps, campaign structure, and account configuration. Businesses typically find 20–40% of their budget is recoverable within the first 90 days of implementation.
  • Win customers competitors don't know you're targeting
    The Competitor Intelligence Report analyses five competitors in depth — their live ads, full website messaging, positioning angles, and the gaps they're leaving open. Most businesses discover entire customer segments their competitors are ignoring entirely.
  • Build campaigns that scale — not ones that plateau
    Most businesses have to choose between an expensive agency retainer or guessing at the structure themselves. The Campaign Build Report gives you a complete blueprint — keyword architecture, ad copy, negative lists, bid strategy — documented clearly so you can launch properly without locking into ongoing management costs.

Brand new Google Ads account built from scratch. Keyword research done against live competitor SERP data, tightly themed ad groups, RSA copy written against competitor messaging gaps identified in the Competitor Intelligence report.

About Rob

Specialist Practice.
Serious Results.

This is a specialist Google Ads practice with over 15 years of experience managing campaigns for eCommerce and Shopify businesses across Australia. The focus is narrow by design: Gap Analysis, Competitor Intelligence, and Campaign Builds — three services that address the structural reasons most businesses underperform on Google Ads.

The businesses that engage these services are typically spending between $10k and $500k per month on Google Ads. They've moved past the testing phase. They need an expert who can read an account properly, identify what's costing them money, and produce a clear, prioritised action plan — not a report built from a template.

What We Check

The 10-Pillar Gap Analysis Framework

Every Gap Analysis covers all 10 pillars. Most businesses find problems in at least 4. If you already know which pillars apply to your account — that's exactly the point.

PILLAR 01
Account Configuration
Are your goals, bidding signals, and account settings actually aligned to what your business needs? Misconfigured settings silently corrupt performance data.
PILLAR 02
Search Term Quality
What queries are actually triggering your ads? Broad match bleeds spend to irrelevant searches most accounts never review.
PILLAR 03
Negative Keyword Gaps
Which irrelevant terms are consuming budget with no block in place? Most accounts have hundreds — discovered only after the money is gone.
PILLAR 04
Campaign Structure
Are your campaigns competing against each other for the same audience? Internal competition inflates CPCs without generating additional revenue.
PILLAR 05
Keyword Cannibalisation
Are multiple ad groups or campaigns bidding on the same terms? Cannibalisation splits budget and confuses the algorithm.
PILLAR 06
RSA Headline Performance
Which headlines are Winners, Losers, or Zombies? Similar headlines never rotate — your ad copy may not be competing at all.
PILLAR 07
Bid Strategy Alignment
Is your bidding objective matched to each campaign's actual goal? Maximise Clicks on a conversion campaign is one of the most common mismatches.
PILLAR 08
Budget Distribution
Is the right share of budget going to the right campaigns? Budget stacking on low-performers is one of the easiest fixes with the fastest payoff.
PILLAR 09
Ad Extensions & Assets
Are you using all available SERP real estate? Missing sitelinks, callouts, and image assets reduce ad rank and ad visibility.
PILLAR 10
Landing Page Alignment
Are the right search terms landing on the right pages? A campaign sending product searches to a category page is bleeding conversions every day.

Why Choose Us

Rob Sanders —
Why We're Different

The difference between average and excellent Google Ads performance is rarely budget. It's almost always structural — and the structural problems tend to be invisible unless someone is looking for them specifically. Broad match terms burning spend on irrelevant traffic. RSA headlines so similar they never rotate. Campaigns cannibalising each other's keywords. Account settings misaligned to the campaign's actual goal. These issues compound quietly, and most businesses have no idea they exist.

A properly conducted Gap Analysis surfaces all of them. A properly researched Competitor Intelligence Report shows what the market is actually saying — and where the messaging white space is that no competitor has claimed. A properly built campaign starts from that intelligence and creates a structural foundation that scales. Done in the right sequence, these three services change the performance trajectory of a Google Ads account.

Every recommendation is specific to the account, the market, and the business — not pulled from a template library. Delivered in 48–72 hours per service.

Best fit: eCommerce and Shopify businesses spending $5k+/month on Google Ads where structural improvements would have a material impact on revenue and ROAS.

Testimonials

5.0 ★★★★★
Based on Google Reviews
★★★★★
"The Gap Analysis found problems in our account we didn't know existed. We had campaigns cannibalising each other and a conversion tag firing twice on every purchase — so our data was completely wrong. Rob found both in the first pass. Within 60 days of implementing the fixes our ROAS had nearly doubled."

"We'd been running the same ads for 18 months and assumed the market had just gotten more competitive. The Competitor Intelligence Report showed every one of our competitors was leading with free shipping and next-day delivery. We weren't mentioning either. Changed the headlines, conversions went up 40% in the first month."

★★★★★
"We'd had two agencies build campaigns for us before and both times we were spending money within days of launch with nothing to show for it. Rob's Campaign Build was different — he mapped the competitors first, structured everything before touching the account, and verified everything was set up correctly before a single dollar was spent. Month one ROAS was 3.1×."

Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

All services are priced per project with a fixed quote agreed before any work starts — there are no surprises mid-project. Pricing depends on the scope (account size, number of campaigns, complexity). The best way to get a number is to reach out for a quick chat — we can look at your account together and give you an accurate quote within the day.
The Gap Analysis is typically delivered within 48–72 hours of receiving account access. The Competitor Intelligence Report is delivered within 48 hours — no account access required. Campaign Build Reports are delivered within 5–7 business days of completing the kickoff brief. Every timeline is confirmed in the proposal before work begins.
All three services are project-based — there are no lock-in contracts or minimum terms. The Campaign Build Report is designed so you don't need ongoing management: you receive everything documented to launch and run the campaigns yourself, or hand to whoever oversees your Google Ads account. The most common sequence is: Competitor Intelligence Report first, then a Campaign Build Report informed by the research, then a Gap Analysis three to six months later to assess performance.
For the Gap Analysis, we need read access to your Google Ads account via a Manager Account invite — a standard access level that lets us view your data without making changes. For the Competitor Intelligence Report, no account access is needed at all — we research your competitors directly from live SERP data and their websites. For a Campaign Build, we need admin access to create campaigns, plus a completed kickoff brief covering your business goals, target audience, budget, and any existing brand or copy guidelines.
These services work best for eCommerce and Shopify businesses spending at least $5,000/month on Google Ads. Below that level, the cost of a diagnostic report may not be proportionate to the budget being managed. If you're unsure whether your situation is a good fit, just reach out for a quick chat — an honest answer is always a better use of your time than a discovery call that goes nowhere.
The main differences are depth, directness, and speed. A typical agency Gap Analysis is a templated report a junior runs in two hours and hands to an account manager to present. Ours goes 10 pillars deep, is written by the person who ran the analysis, and is delivered in 48 hours. The Competitor Intelligence Report analyses live competitor ads and full website messaging — not just a keyword overlap tool. And Campaign Builds are built around your competitive landscape, not a keyword planner export. You also deal directly with Rob throughout — no account managers in between.
