03 · Difference

A studio. Not a sales funnel dressed up as one.

Most agencies are optimised to keep you on the retainer. We're optimised to make the work obvious. Side-by-side:

Austra Digital
Typical AU agency
Senior operators run your account end-to-end
Junior account managers ferry messages to senior strategists
Live Looker Studio dashboard, refreshed daily
A 28-page PDF emailed once a month
30-day rolling terms after a 90-day onboarding
12-month lock-in dressed up as a "partnership"
Fixed scope, fixed price — written down
Hourly "retainer hours" mysteriously running out
Live in four weeks — including tracking
12-week discovery before anything ships
We'll tell you to spend less if it makes sense
You'll be sold the package with the highest margin
04 · Studio

A studio, not a funnel-shaped agency.

We're small on purpose. A senior team that runs your account — the same people you meet on the kickoff call are the people building your campaigns six months later. No mystery juniors.

We work with founders, marketing managers and ops teams across Australia: home services, ecom, B2B SaaS, hospitality, trades, professional services. Different industries, same problem — they need digital marketing that earns its cost.

If we don't think we can move the line for you, we'll say so on the first call. Saves everyone six weeks.

From hello to live in four weeks.

Week 01

Audit & intent

Free 45-minute strategy call. We look at where you are, where your buyers are, and where the leak is.

Week 02

Plan

Scoped plan with channels, tracking, expected lift, and the number we'll measure against. Fixed price.

Week 03

Build

Site fixes, tracking, campaign builds, creative. You see Loom updates twice a week — no ghosting.

Week 04

Launch & iterate

Live campaigns, dashboards in your hands, weekly stand-up. Then we keep iterating against the number.

08 · Questions

Things people ask before the call.

Six honest answers. If yours isn't here, it's covered on the call.

01 Why is your pricing on the site?

Because hiding it wastes everyone's time. If $1,800/mo for SEO or $6,500 for a website is well outside your budget, you should know on the homepage — not after a 45-minute discovery call. Agencies that hide prices are usually negotiating against themselves.

02 What are the contract terms?

Most retainers run on rolling 30-day terms after a 90-day onboarding period. Project work is fixed scope, fixed price. No 12-month locks. If you want to leave, you leave — and you keep every account, asset and dashboard.

03 What if it doesn't work?

We agree on the metric we'll move at the start — leads, ROAS, organic revenue, whatever's load-bearing in your business. If we miss the milestone we set at month 3 we'll fix it on our time, not yours. We've never had to refund — but the offer's there.

04 How soon will I see results?

Paid search: measurable shifts in 2–4 weeks. SEO: technical and Google Business Profile wins in 4–8 weeks, content rankings in 3–9 months. Web builds: live in four weeks for most scopes. We do not promise specific rankings — agencies that do are lying or about to be.

05 Who actually runs the work?

Senior operators — the same people you meet on the kickoff call are the ones in your ad account six months later. We do not hand new accounts to junior staff and we do not white-label to overseas teams.

06 In-house vs agency — what do you actually do better?

Pattern recognition across categories, certified tooling, and a team you don't have to recruit, train or replace when someone leaves. If you can hire a senior marketer for $140K + super + tools, do it. Otherwise we're cheaper, faster and harder to lose.
