A local helping local businesses grow

Ads Mate is a small, hands-on consultancy run by Lucas Ferreira. No account managers, no junior staff and no lock-in contracts. You deal with the person doing the work.

Why Ads Mate exists

G'day, I'm Lucas. I started Ads Mate because I kept meeting the same kind of business owner: brilliant at their trade or craft, with happy customers and great word of mouth, and no reliable way to bring in the next job.

Meanwhile, franchises and bigger operators from out of town were showing up in their customers' Facebook feeds every single week. The local business was better. It just wasn't being seen, chosen or followed up.

So Ads Mate does one thing: we turn good local businesses into well-designed sales machines. That means the whole path from a stranger scrolling their phone to a paid job. Research, offer, Facebook and Instagram ads, a page that converts, fast follow-up and a system for reviews and referrals.

I've done this for builders, an excavation business, a hair salon, a beauty clinic, and in-person and online training providers. I also look after the unglamorous technical side, like websites, domains, DNS and business email, because a campaign is only as good as the plumbing behind it.

How we work

Five promises we keep

Research before anything

We don't write a single ad until we understand who your best customers are and why they choose you.

Honest numbers

We report cost per enquiry and cost per job, not vanity metrics. If something isn't working, you'll hear it from us first.

One per trade per town

We won't run campaigns for two competing businesses in the same town. Your strategy stays yours.

You own everything

Your ad account, your website, your domain and your data. No rental contracts and no hostage situations.

Plain English

No jargon, no 40-page reports. A short weekly update that tells you what happened and what's next.

Only if it's a fit

If we don't think we can get you a return, we'll say so on the first call and point you in a better direction.
