Sound familiar?
We fix what other
agencies break.
These are the three most common issues we see when a new client comes to us. We’ve built our process around solving all of them.
Your Google Ads are running but the phone isn’t ringing. Budget spent, nothing to show for it. Clicks without conversions means your campaign isn’t built right.
Your previous agency owns your GA4, ad accounts, and Search Console. When you leave, you lose everything — history, audiences, conversion data.
Your competitors show up first for every keyword that matters. You’re on page 2 — or not ranking at all — while their phones ring with leads you should be getting.
What we do
Every service built
around one outcome: leads.
No bloated retainers. No vanity dashboards. Just the channels that work for your type of business.
Search campaigns targeting buyers the moment they’re ready. We build, manage, and optimise — you get the calls. Includes RSAs, negative keywords, conversion tracking, and monthly reporting.
Facebook and Instagram campaigns that do more than boost posts. Lead gen, retargeting, and lookalike audiences built to convert cold traffic into enquiries and sales.
Local and technical SEO that ranks you for the keywords that actually bring business. Audits, on-page optimisation, content, and link building — compound growth over time.
WordPress and Shopify sites built to convert, not just look good. Fast, mobile-first, and always set up under your accounts — never locked into ours.
Not sure where to start? We’ll audit what you have, identify the gaps, and build a clear roadmap. Ideal for businesses that have wasted budget and want a fresh direction.
Monthly results snapshots and Looker Studio dashboards so you always know exactly where your budget is going and what it’s returning. No surprises, no spin.

Who you’re working with
Hi, I’m Lachlan — and I actually work on your account.
I’m the founder and Digital Director of Ramp Up Digital. Unlike larger agencies where your account gets handed to a junior, I personally manage strategy across every client — and I’ve been doing this for over 11 years across Google Ads, Meta, SEO, and web.
I started this agency because I was frustrated watching businesses waste money on generic campaigns from agencies that didn’t understand their market. Everything we do is built around one outcome: measurable leads and revenue for your business.
- ✓ Based in Newcastle — available, responsive, and invested in local business growth
- ✓ Every account set up under your ownership — GA4, ad accounts, Search Console
- ✓ No lock-in contracts — we earn your business month to month
- ✓ Google Ads certified and Meta certified — not self-proclaimed experts

FAQ
Common questions
Everything you need to know before getting started.
Our packages start from $1,250/month for Google Ads and local SEO. Most Newcastle SMBs and tradies see the best results on our Local Authority Builder package at $2,200/month, which includes Google Ads, Meta retargeting, and ongoing SEO. All prices are plus GST and separate from your ad spend budget.
Google Ads can generate leads within days of launch — we typically have new campaigns live within 5–7 business days of sign-off. The first 2–4 weeks is a learning phase where the algorithm optimises. By month 2 you should have a clear picture of cost-per-lead and campaign performance.
Yes — while we’re based in Newcastle and have deep local market knowledge, we manage campaigns for clients across Australia including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth. We work remotely with most clients via video calls and our monthly reporting system.
Google Ads gives you immediate visibility at the top of search results — you pay per click and can get leads within days. SEO is a longer-term investment that builds your organic (unpaid) rankings over 3–12 months. For most businesses we recommend running both: Ads for immediate lead flow while SEO builds sustainable long-term traffic.
No. We work on a month-to-month basis with 30 days notice to cancel. We don’t believe in locking clients in — we earn your business by delivering results. All ad accounts, GA4 properties, and Search Console access are set up under your ownership from day one, so you’re never held hostage.
For most Newcastle small businesses, we recommend a minimum of $1,000–$1,500/month in Google Ads spend to generate meaningful data and lead volume. Meta Ads can work from $500–$1,000/month for awareness and retargeting. Ad spend is separate from our management fees and goes directly to Google or Meta.
Yes — we build WordPress, Shopify, and Squarespace websites from $2,500. Every site is set up under your hosting and domain — never ours. We also offer ongoing maintenance plans and can take over an existing site if you’ve been locked out by a previous agency.
