Garage 30

/ Growth

Growth marketing & analytics

Data-led growth for ecommerce and bookings businesses. The work starts with tracking, not opinions. If GA4 and your Ads account disagree with the till, every decision made from those numbers is wrong. Fixing that comes first.

Structure second, spend third. The account architecture gets built around margin and intent, then we find out where the return actually is. Spend follows evidence. Bikeaholic went from 4x to 6x return on flat spend. Small Planet went from $30k to $300k online revenue inside a year. Snopro hit 33x in a launch window. These numbers come from structure, not budget.

Opinions are the last ingredient. The data earns the right to a point of view. When tracking is right and the account is clean, the signal is loud enough to act on.

/ What's included

Conversion tracking and analytics

GA4 and Ads configured to agree with actual revenue. Attribution that holds up when the CFO asks how the channel is performing.

Google Ads

Shopping, search, and Performance Max structured around margin, not activity. Account architecture that reduces wasted spend before it optimises for more.

CRO programmes

Iterative conversion rate work on the pages and flows that matter. The unglamorous testing that compounds over one to two seasons.

Lifecycle email

The revenue hiding in your existing customers. Flows for abandoned carts, post-purchase, and re-engagement. Built to run, not to be managed manually.

/ Engagements & pricing

Growth audit

Under $4,000 NZD fixed

Tracking, account structure, and funnel reviewed end to end. The output is a prioritised fix list with effort and expected return on each item.

CRO programme

$5,000 to $25,000 NZD

Scoped to the holes the audit finds. A bounded engagement with defined success criteria. Not an open-ended retainer with a test running somewhere.

Ads management retainer

$4,000 to $8,000 NZD / month

Ongoing management tied to return, not activity. Monthly reporting in plain numbers, not dashboard screenshots. Re-prioritised against what the data shows each month.

Frequently asked questions

What should a NZ small business spend on Google Ads?
The account's job is return, not reach. Start where tracking proves it. Clients have gone from 4x to 6x return on flat spend by fixing account structure rather than increasing budget. The size of the spend matters less than the quality of the signal telling you whether it is working.
What ROAS is realistic for a NZ ecommerce business?
It depends on margin and how contested the market is. Four to six times is strong for most NZ retail. We have seen 33x in an uncontested launch window, but that is the exception and it does not hold at scale. A realistic target gets set in the audit, based on your actual margin and category.
How long before we see results?
Tracking fixes pay almost immediately, because you stop making decisions on bad data. Structural gains in an Ads account compound over one to two seasons as the algorithm learns a cleaner signal. CRO compounds more slowly but keeps compounding after the engagement ends.
Is this for ecommerce only, or does it work for bookings businesses too?
Both. Tourism operators and service businesses with online bookings respond to the same fundamentals: clean tracking, clear intent signals, and a conversion flow that does not leak. Non-profits fit too. Donations are conversions.
