People decide who to book about four minutes after they search. If you weren't in the top three, that one went next door — and it'll keep going next door until somebody fixes it.
Venues, dining, cafes and bars. Spas, salons, clinics and cosmetic. Trades and home services. Tours, studios, gyms and days out. Retail with a door. Accountants, brokers and anyone else who lives on enquiries.
Not on that list? Still get in touch. Good marketing is good marketing, and the list is there to prove we understand the job — not to decide who we'll help.
These come up in almost every local business we look at. Each one is a customer who had already decided to come to you, handed to somebody else.
Google yourself. If somebody else's ad sits above your own listing, they're paying to intercept people who'd already chosen you. It's legal, it's cheap, and it's cheap to defend against — but only if someone's watching for it.
Reviews are only part of what decides local ranking. Profile completeness, categories, photos, posting and review recency all count, and most businesses set theirs up once and never went back.
Thousands of people who've already paid you and already liked it. For most local businesses this is the single biggest untouched pile of revenue in the place, and reaching them costs almost nothing.
Too many clicks between the ad and a confirmed appointment, booking that fights you on a phone, enquiries answered the next day. You pay for the click and lose it in the last thirty seconds.
Walking in feels great. The ads, the feed and the site don't. That gap is a brand problem, it's the cheapest one on this list to fix, and it's the one that makes everything else work harder.
Not a channel. The whole lot, under one fixed monthly fee, run by the person who actually does the work.
Google Search and Local plus Meta. Campaigns that fill bookings and quiet weekdays without blowing the budget.
Rebooking, reactivation, birthdays and post-visit. The database you already have, finally earning something.
Feeds that capture what it actually feels like to be there. Content, community and calendars that stay full.
Photo, video and copy that bottle the feeling of walking through your door. None of the boring stock-photo stuff.
Booking journeys that don't fight people, campaign landing pages, and your Google profile and reviews properly run.
Everyone starts the same way. Seven days, fifteen checks, one roadmap. $750 — and it comes straight off your first month if you go ahead.
Seven days from access to roadmap. We need read-only access to your Google Business Profile, Google Ads, Meta and whatever your booking system reports. That's it.
30 minutes. We share our screen, run the searches a customer would run, and look at your profile and ads live. You'll see two or three specific problems before you've paid us anything.
$750. Seven days later you get the full audit and a 90-day plan with the numbers attached, presented live.
Credited in full to your first month if you go ahead.
lemonlolly is a small Adelaide studio. That's deliberate — there's no account manager between you and the person doing the work, and nothing gets handed to a junior once the contract's signed.
Full audit, 90-day roadmap, live presentation
Credited to your first monthIncluding GST. Three months, then month to month.
Google Search & Local plus Meta, to $30k combined spend · email and SMS, up to 6 campaigns plus rebooking and reactivation flows · managed social, 12 posts a month · 10 creative assets a month · booking journey work and campaign landing pages · Google profile, reviews and local listings · monthly dashboard and a strategy call.
Ad spend is separate and paid by you straight to the platforms. Full site builds, photo and video shoots, full brand identity projects and reputation repair are quoted separately.
Because a free audit is a sales call with a spreadsheet attached, and both sides know it. Charging means we spend seven days on it instead of an afternoon, and you get a document worth keeping. It also means we're not trying to win you in a single call, which makes the whole conversation better.
And it costs you nothing if you go ahead — the $750 comes straight off your first month.
No. We work with anyone whose customer books them, visits them or calls them — venues, dining, trades, tours, studios, retail, professional services. And if you're none of those, still get in touch. Good marketing is good marketing.
Then keep them, and we'll work around it — or take it over, whichever makes more sense. Social is part of the retainer but it isn't compulsory. We'd rather put the hours where they'll do the most good for you.
The studio is new. The experience isn't — twenty years across brand, paid, email and web. You'll get a free call and a paid audit before you commit to anything, so you can judge the thinking rather than take our word for it.
Three months to start, because local search and rebooking can't be fairly judged in less. After that it's month to month with 30 days' notice.
Yes. We're Adelaide based and work with businesses across Australia. It runs over video and shared dashboards, and local search work doesn't need us to be down the road.
Then we'll say so, you'll have a document confirming it, and we won't try to sell you a retainer. It's happened. We'd rather lose a deal than take money for work that won't move the number.
Pick a time that suits. We'll run the searches and look at your profile beforehand so we turn up already knowing something, then spend most of the half hour showing you rather than telling you.
