Aussie Catering Equipment

Aussie Catering Equipment is Australia’s largest online range of commercial kitchen and catering equipment – partnered with top suppliers and specialising in full-scale kitchen fit outs nationwide.
They came to us with a strong presence and no paid strategy.

With big-ticket items and a complex buyer journey, they weren’t looking for clicks – they needed calls from serious customers. So we built a performance engine that quietly does the job.

The project

This wasn’t about flashy creative or top-of-funnel targeting. Aussie Catering needed performance – straight to the point.

We built a Google Ads strategy designed for high purchase intent, optimised for phone leads, and tuned to shift spend as the market moved.
1
Well-established business with no history of running ads
2
High-ticket, low-volume purchases needed ultra-qualified leads
3
Form-based campaigns underperformed due to customer behaviour
4
Product demand fluctuates based on trends and seasonality

/ Strategy 1

Search-first strategy driven by keyword research

We conducted detailed keyword mapping across every major product and service line.

From there, we prioritised high-volume, high-ROI terms – then built campaigns around those insights to ensure every dollar spent had earning potential.

/ Strategy 2

Phone-first campaign structure

Instead of chasing low-intent form submissions, we ran call-based campaigns targeting decision-makers ready to buy.

These phone leads converted higher, faster, and with less hand-holding – perfect for this industry.

/ Strategy 3

Agile media buying based on product trends

When demand cooled in one category, we pivoted.

From pizza ovens to dishwashers, we adjusted budget and targeting in real-time, constantly testing new formats and search terms to stay ahead of the curve.
