A flexible, workload-led paid search strategy to capture high-intent pool buyers across Townsville, Ingham and Charters Towers, working alongside your existing SEO.
The Opportunity
Over the past months, NQ Pool Warehouse has built a genuinely dominant organic footprint across North Queensland, with multiple #1 rankings and consistent enquiry activity month after month.
Google Ads adds a tap you can turn on and off. When you have capacity to take on more builds, we open it up and drive enquiries fast. When your schedule fills, we wind it back or pause it entirely, so you're never paying to generate work you can't take on. It's a lead source that flexes to your workload, not the other way around.
Paid search doesn't replace your SEO, it complements it. Your organic rankings keep working in the background at a fixed cost, while Ads gives you an on-demand lever for the months you want to fill the calendar.
Why Google Ads, Why Now
Your SEO already wins the top spots for many terms, but several high-commercial keywords currently sit just outside the top three, where click share drops off sharply. When you switch Ads on, you appear at the very top of these results immediately:
Appear above organic results for your most valuable commercial searches from day one, with no waiting for rankings to climb.
Show ads only to buyers in Townsville, Ingham and Charters Towers who are actively searching for pool builders, fibreglass pools and fencing.
Stay in front of the visitors who browsed your Pool Designs, New Pools and Fencing pages but didn't enquire the first time.
Ramp up to fill the calendar, then pause the moment your build schedule is full. You only ever spend to win jobs you actually want.
What's Included
Investment
12-Month Forecast
This is a deliberately modest, easy-to-justify starting budget that sits comfortably on top of your SEO. The idea is simple: switch on and build the quote pipeline when you have capacity, ease back as jobs fill, and pause entirely through your busiest build stretch. Nothing here is fixed, we adjust every month based on how full your calendar is.

*Total to Blacksheep excludes ad spend (billed directly to you by Google) and is shown exclusive of GST. Setup fee applies in month one; management fees apply from month two, only in active months. This plan runs the ads for 9 of 12 months and pauses right through the peak build period (December to February). Average active-month ad spend is approximately $1,490. Every figure is a starting recommendation and can be increased, reduced or paused at any time.
Projected Performance
Based on typical performance for pool-industry search campaigns in regional Queensland and this conservative budget, the active months could reasonably generate:
*These are projections based on industry benchmarks, not guaranteed outcomes. Actual results depend on competition, seasonality, ad quality and landing-page performance, and typically improve over the first few months as the campaign optimises. Turning the budget up in any month scales these numbers accordingly.
Return on Investment
A single fibreglass pool typically represents $35,000-$70,000+ in project value. Across the full 12 months, this campaign only needs to convert one additional pool sale to more than cover the entire year's setup and management fees.
