Digital marketing agency · Adelaide · SA, growth-focused operators
An Adelaide-engaged digital marketing consultancy that scales spend on revenue.
Adelaide's mid-market is tight-knit and the in-state agency layer is small. We work fixed-scope on a weekly call cadence, with on-site working sessions every six to eight weeks. The output is paid acquisition aligned to contribution margin and a documented playbook the in-house team operates.

Context
Why Adelaide operators come to us.
Adelaide's growth-focused segment is dominated by services, manufacturing, healthcare, hospitality, and a handful of DTC brands. The agency search is genuinely harder than in Sydney or Melbourne because the in-state market is smaller. Operators end up either with a generalist agency or a specialist that does not understand SA market specifics.
We work nationally on a fixed-scope basis, which sidesteps both problems. The strategic work (measurement architecture, spend allocation, reporting reconciliation) does not need to be done in-state; the day-to-day buying that does is left to the in-house team or an existing buyer.
Most engagements close the platform-vs-CRM revenue gap to under 5 percent and recover 8 to 18 percent of attributable revenue inside year one.
Deliverables
What an Adelaide engagement looks like.
01
Server-side measurement on your domain. Meta CAPI, Google Ads enhanced conversions, GA4 reconciled to your CRM.
02
Lead-attribution rebuild: form submissions, phone calls, bookings, and CRM-side conversions all unified through one event layer.
03
Reporting layer in Looker Studio. Monthly reconciliation against the bank-anchored revenue.
04
Funnel-leak diagnostic across the booking or purchase path. Where the worst conversion gap is, by step.
05
Day-to-day media run by our senior operators against the rebuilt measurement. After handover, the in-house team operates the documented playbook. The handover is the deliverable.
06
Quarterly working sessions covering the six pillars of the PROFIT framework.
Side by side
How this differs from a typical Adelaide digital marketing agency.
Most Adelaide agencies
- In-state generalist or out-of-state specialist
- Report platform-attributed ROAS only
- Browser-side pixels, no CRM connection
- Flat retainer with vague deliverables
- Send monthly decks summarising activity
Profit Geeks
- National consultancy, fixed-scope, hard end-date
- Report contribution-margin ROAS reconciled to CRM
- Server-side measurement on your own domain
- Written number up front, two instalments billed
- Working sessions and written decisions, no decks
Who this is for
- Adelaide or SA operator, scaling on paid acquisition, $20K+ monthly paid acquisition spend
- Reports from Meta, Google, and the CRM that have stopped agreeing
- Services, manufacturing, healthcare, hospitality, ecommerce, or trades with paid acquisition
- Have an in-house performance person who can operate the rebuilt setup
Who it isn't
- Looking for a Adelaide agency to run accounts day-to-day
- Sub-$2M revenue trying to fix attribution before the offer works
- Need everything done by an in-state team
- Want a long-term retainer with no defined end-date
Proof, in numbers
Numbers we typically deliver in SA engagements.
Aggregated across the SA-anchored engagements we have shipped. The methodology is the same; the implementation accounts for a smaller in-state agency layer to coordinate with.

What you actually buy
One piece of work. Twelve weeks. It starts with a free call.
Which of these sounds like your week?
- Meta says one number, Google says another, the CRM says a third, and the bank says something else again.
- The leads come in and most of them are rubbish.
- Traffic is fine. Not enough of them buy.
- You cannot spend more without losing margin.
- Something is wrong and you cannot say what.
All five are the same job. We do not sell five products for them. We sell one rebuild, and the free call is where we work out which part of it you need first.
00 · Free
Run your own numbers
Six calculators and an attribution reference. Work out your break-even ROAS, your CAC payback, and whether the spend is structurally profitable, before you talk to anyone. The calculators need no signup.
01 · Free · 30 minutes
The profit audit call
A senior operator looks at your real spend, revenue and attribution gap on a call. You leave with a written fix list you keep, whether or not we ever work together. No deck, no follow-up sales sequence. We reply within one business day with three times to choose from.
02 · Optional · Two weeks
The two-week diagnostic
Read-only. We change nothing in your accounts. Every tag, event and consent rule mapped and written up: 20 to 35 pages, every issue rated P0 to P3 with an engineering-day estimate, and a 90-minute walk-through on day twelve. Yours to hand to us, your own team, or your existing agency. About a third of clients run this first, then decide.
03 · The engagement · Twelve weeks
The twelve-week rebuild
Twelve weekly 90-minute working sessions with you and your operating team, plus the build work those sessions identify. Measurement rebuilt server-side so the reports reconcile to the bank. The funnel worked where the leak actually is. Scaling rules tied to contribution margin, not platform ROAS. At week twelve your team gets a written playbook and operates it without us, with a quarterly check-in for six months included.
What it costs
Four things set the number
- The size of your stack
- How many ad platforms are live
- The state of your CRM integration
- How many service lines and locations you run
Two things do not
- Your industry
- How much you spend on ads
Revenue only matters because a bigger business is usually a bigger scope. We do not price off a percentage of it. We charge for the work, not for what you look like you can afford.
How it is billedFixed scope, quoted in a written proposal after the call, paid in instalments across the engagement. No hourly billing, no retainer, nothing that renews on its own.
Included at no extra costThe written playbook at handover, and a quarterly check-in for six months after the engagement closes.
Where to go next
The rest of the work, by service and by city.
Most engagements pull from more than one of these. If you're not sure where you fit, the free profit audit is the right starting point. We'll tell you on the call.

Proof, with the working shown
We'd rather show you the maths than the buzzwords.
“Profit Geeks rebuilt our whole sales engine, and not just the ad accounts. They went after the systems sitting behind them too. Sales are up 140% and we've pushed past $25M. Honestly the bit I didn't see coming was the operation running leaner than it did back when we were half the size.”
“We were quietly bleeding about a thousand dollars a week and had no idea why. They found the leaks, sorted out the measurement and the offer, and now we'll do more than $10K in a single day. Same product. Completely different business.”
“We went from scraping together two installs a week to running four crews and fifteen-plus jobs a week, north of $10M turnover. The clever bit was they tied the scaling to what we could actually deliver, so growth never broke the operation. Booked jobs, not vanity leads.”
“After iOS, our Meta numbers stopped matching the bank, and we'd basically been writing the gap off as “just tracking.” Profit Geeks rebuilt our measurement server-side and reconciled it straight back to the P&L. Turned out about $1.42M of ad spend in year one had been working all along. They're the first team that showed me the maths instead of a dashboard.”
“We didn’t spend a dollar more on ads. What they did was fix how we counted a booked job versus a platform “conversion,” cut the wasted spend, and by week twelve our blended ROAS had more than tripled. Revenue went from $4.8M to $9.1M. Same senior bloke on every call too. No juniors, no relay race.”
Reasonable questions
What you're probably thinking.
01
We've been burned by an agency before.
Most of our intake has. The difference is structural. A senior operator runs your account, not a junior hidden behind a dashboard, and you leave the first call with written findings you own even if we never work together. No relay race, no account manager translating between you and the people doing the work.
02
How do I know it'll actually work for my business?
You don't yet, and neither do we until we've seen your numbers. That's why the first step is a diagnostic, not a contract. We've documented this in DTC and home services (the case studies show the full working) and run the same playbook in professional services. If the maths isn't there for you, we'll tell you on the call.
03
What if there's nothing worth fixing?
Then you've spent thirty minutes and walked away with a second opinion that cost you nothing. We'd rather say no than take on an engagement we can't earn, so we turn away intake that isn't a fit. There's no pitch and no follow-up sales sequence.
04
What does it cost, and what am I signing up for?
One fixed-scope engagement fee, billed in instalments. No per-channel markup, no retainer fluff. The same senior operators handle measurement, media and margin, and scaling is tied to your contribution margin, so spend only climbs when the numbers say it's working. The call is where we scope what that looks like for you.
Frequently asked
What operators ask before booking the call.
Are you based in Adelaide?
No. AM Marketing Group Pty Ltd (trading as Profit Geeks, ABN 37 613 053 286) operates from offices in Sydney NSW and Hamilton, Brisbane QLD. We work nationally on a weekly call cadence; on-site sessions in Adelaide are scheduled every six to eight weeks for engagements that warrant it, with travel costed separately.
Can the work be done remotely?
Most of it, yes. Strategic work (measurement architecture, spend allocation, reporting) runs on weekly Google Meet calls plus shared documents. On-site sessions exist for whiteboarding and stakeholder alignment but are not strictly required for the technical work.
Do you work with SA manufacturing or industrial businesses?
Yes, where the paid acquisition is meaningful (typically $20K+ monthly). Industrial B2B has a longer sales cycle than DTC, which makes the offline-conversion-upload work disproportionately valuable: the platforms can finally optimise against booked deals rather than form-fills.
Will you work alongside our existing Adelaide agency?
Yes. Most clients have an existing media-buying agency or in-house team. We work alongside whoever runs day-to-day buying. About a third of clients ask us to recommend a delivery agency at the end; we keep a short list we trust.
How is the engagement priced?
We don't publish a rate card. Whether it's a Tracking Audit, an Attribution Fix, or the full PROFIT framework, the engagement is fixed-scope and billed in two or three instalments, scoped to your account and your goals. The written number comes up front in a proposal after the audit call. Travel for on-site sessions is itemised separately.
What happens after you book

Engagement starts
Senior operators from day one. The measurement rebuild starts, we take over day-to-day buying on the channels we can measure, and the first working session lands. Inside two weeks of the call.
Next step
Limited engagement intake. Adelaide and SA share capacity with the rest of the country.
If your SA business is running paid acquisition and the reports have stopped reconciling, the next step is a free 30-minute profit audit on Google Meet. We will look at three of your dashboards on the call and tell you, in writing, what the rebuild would cover.
