Real situations from real clients.
23% of the website's traffic was paid for, and none of it led to a contact in three months.
Ads stopped. The money went into fixing the website and its SEO instead.
Leads up 49%
87% of the site's search visibility was overseas, yet the business only sells in Australia.
Website rebuilt around Australian buyers and the words they search with.
Enquiries 84 to 331
A workshop known for one make of car, invisible to owners of all the other cars it can fix.
A new site showing all the work, found by people who hadn't heard of it.
290+ enquiries
A tiny house page was planned for a boat transport site. Different buyer, different search.
A separate one-page website built around that buyer and how they search.

Reviews
Real results, in plain English.
"I wasted a lot of money on other marketing companies who just weren't producing any results at all... Couldn't be happier with the results!! We've generated more than $300,000 in new renovation projects from his marketing work."
Dylan Doncevski
Director, Passion Built
"Volumes of insight, and practical examples of what needs to be done... Paul's digital marketing coaching has lead to more than $200,000 in new business opportunities for our company that we didn't have before."
Andrew Mansfield
Director, Genesis Retail Displays
"The difference between Paul and the other 5 marketing agencies is Paul actually tells you what he is going to do in plain English instead of giving you monthly reports of this is what happened in technical mumbo jumbo just to fill up the report."
Matthew Powell
Director, Clients Needs Bookkeeping
"If you're looking for a no bull approach to digital marketing, that can be demonstrated through real world results, then you should speak to Paul D'Ambra."

Case studies
Including the ones that didn't go to plan.
AutomotiveThe brief: keep loyal customers and win new ones who'd never heard of the workshop.
Dress designerA relaunch that worked, then the owner chose a new creative direction.
Powerlifting gymTraffic grew 57%, but the goal was members, not visitors.
TransportationA new service kept off the existing boat transport website, on purpose.
Design agencyRelationship-led sales, an underused website and occasional bursts of Google Ads.
Security manufacturingEveryone assumed the advertising was working. Nobody had checked.
How I work differently
What you pay for, and what you get for it.
Marketing consultants in Australia charge around $80 to $200 an hour, and agency retainers for a small business sit between $1,500 and $7,500 a month.
I provide extraordinary value against those numbers. Many of my fixed prices start below that range, and the person doing the work has more than 30 years of commercial marketing experience. If you want the market rates and how to judge a quote, that's on hiring a marketing consultant.
