We’re seeing a massive trend this month: Gold Coast plumbers, electricians, and builders are moving away from Google’s 'Smart Campaigns.' While automation sounds easy, it often wastes up to 30% of your budget on junk searches like 'how to fix a tap' instead of 'emergency plumber near me.' The 2026 Fix: For our clients, we’ve shifted back to Manual Phrase Match and aggressive Negative Keyword lists . By stripping out the 'DIY' seekers and focus-targeting specific suburbs like Southport and Burleigh, we’re seeing lead costs drop by half. If your current ads are 'set and forget,' you’re likely donating your profit back to Google. Want a quick audit of your current ad spend? Call Scott or Henry at 1300 881 421.
