Between February 2024 And March 2025, The Google Ads We Ran Brought In R184 Million In Sales

Google Ads dashboard, February 2024 to March 2025: R17.7 million cost, 184 million conversion value, 10.45 conversion value per cost

Our Google Ads dashboard, February 2024 to March 2025.

In those months we spent R17.7 million on Google Ads for our clients.

The ads brought in R184 million in sales.

That's R10.45 back for every R1 that was spent on the ads.

When Google Ads Bring In Clicks And No Sales, It’s Usually One Of These Four Things

You're spending money on Google Ads every month.

The clicks come in, and the sales or the leads don't.

We hear this on our sales calls every week, and it almost always comes down to one of these four things.

1

You're paying for clicks from people who are never going to buy

Drawn for this page. Example numbers.

Google also shows your ad to job seekers and to people who want to do it themselves, and you pay for every one of those clicks.

What we do about it

We go through what people actually typed into Google, and we block the searches that are never going to buy from you.

2

People click your ad, and then nobody phones or buys

412 clicks, 3 leads. R3,267 for each one

Drawn for this page. Example numbers.

Usually the ad is fine, and the page that people land on doesn't give them a reason to phone you or buy.

What we do about it

We build the landing page that the ad sends people to, so that the page says the same thing as the ad.

3

Nobody has changed anything on your account in months

Your ads are running on their own, and nobody is checking what your money is being spent on.

What we do about it

You get your own dedicated advertising strategist.

You hear from them once a week, and the Google Ads account stays yours.

4

Google's report looks great, and your sales haven't moved

Google AdsLast 30 days
People who typed in your business name 46 sales
People who had never heard of you 4 sales
Only 4 of the 50 were new customers

Drawn for this page. Example numbers.

A lot of those sales are people who typed in your business name, and they were most likely going to buy from you anyway.

What we do about it

We keep the searches for your name apart from everything else, so that you can see what a new customer actually costs you.

Most Digital Marketing Agencies Show You Likes And Clicks, But We Judge Every Ad On The Profit It Makes

You're spending money on ads, but your profit isn't growing.

Your agency sends a report full of likes and clicks.

But it never shows you how much profit your ads made.

That's why we judge every rand you spend on ads by how much profit it brings back.

The three main numbers we measure

Example numbers.

What most agencies send you

If those numbers don't make you money, we change the strategy, not the report.

If Your Ad Results Don’t Improve In 90 Days, We’ll Work For Free Until They Do

Most agencies get paid every month, whether your ads make you money or not.

So you carry all the risk.

We share it with you.

Here's our promise:

Our 90-day promise

If your ROAS doesn't go up, or your cost per lead or sale doesn't come down, within 90 days, we'll work for free until they do.

ROAS is the sales you get back for every R1 you spend on ads.

We use it here because every business can measure it from day one.

  • You need to have spent at least R30,000 on ads in the last 3 months, so we have real numbers to compare against.
  • We compare normal months.Specials, discounts and Black Friday deals are left out.
  • Working for free means we don't charge our monthly fee.You still spend your own money on the ads.
Only 1 in 10
businesses that contact us get taken on

If we don't get you results, you're obviously not going to continue paying our fees.

That said, we only work with brands whose products are actually good, whose margins are healthy, and with business owners who are ready and hungry to grow.

If we don't think we can help, we'll tell you honestly on the free call.

My V8 Media journey is almost one year old and it’s been one amazing high, from the very first call, onboarding and then starting to work with my team, Marilly, Thomas and Daine. They have taken the time to get to know the business and us. They’re on the ball with ideas, suggestions and every call with them is one I look forward to. There are no empty promises, campaigns are planned and launched without hick-ups and they constantly monitor and tweak for changes. Much more than I ever expected them to do! They looked after our accounts over the holidays and there was always someone available to handle anything that might pop-up. If you’re hunting for an agency that puts in the work and that will help grow your business then don’t look any further. They’re a true extension of your business and takes away a lot of the stresses and tasks that gets you back to focussing on your customers. You’re in great hands!

We Run Your Google Ads, And We Build The Landing Pages That The Ads Send People To

Running the ads is only one part of it.

The page that the ad sends people to decides if they phone you, buy from you, or leave.

So we run the ads, and we build the pages as well.

Here's what you get:

Google Search adsSeen by people already searching for what you sell
Google Shopping adsYour products and prices, shown at the top of Google
YouTube adsVideos in front of people who have never heard of you
Landing pagesThe page that the ad sends people to
FunnelsPages that turn the click into a sale or a lead
Lead nurturing automationsAutomatic messages that follow up every lead, so none go cold

Each one helps on its own.

But the results come from how they work together: the ad brings the click, the funnel turns it into a sale or a lead, and the emails and follow-ups bring them back.

The V8 Media team together

You get your own dedicated advertising strategist, backed by a team of 40 across South Africa, with our head office in Johannesburg.

We work with online stores and local businesses in South Africa and around the world.

V8 is by far the most professional digital marketing company I have ever worked with. They take the time to understand your target market and understands their needs. They take full control of your digital media needs so you don’t have to worry about that and they have increased our ROI drastically. I firmly believe they are the best digital marketing company in South Africa! I would highly recommend them.

I Ran My First Business Into The Ground Before I Learned How To Grow One

Jandre de Beer, founder of V8 Media, speaking on a panel

I started my first business, Fitness 101, when I was 22.

In 2013 I sold part of it, and then I ran the rest into the ground.

I went on to grow CHROME Supplements from R30 million to R100 million as their marketing director.

In 2018 I started V8 Media, and I know what it feels like to put everything into a business and not know if it will work.

Every business owner who fills in our form is in that same spot, and we never forget it.

Our Fees Start At R10,990 A Month, And You Can Cancel Any Time After 90 Days

Someone already runs my Google Ads. Can you have a look at them first?

Yes.

If you're spending over R20,000 a month on Google Ads, we'll do a free audit of your account.

We'll show you what's working, what isn't working, and what we would change.

My business partner has to agree too. What can I show them?

After the free call, we do a demonstration call with you.

On that call we show you what we would implement to grow your business.

Bring your partner onto that call, so that they can see it and ask their own questions.

Do I own my Google Ads account?

Yes.

The account is yours, and it stays yours if you ever stop working with us.

How often will I hear from you?

Once a week.

Your strategist tells you what we changed, what it did, and what we're going to try next.

Who do you work with?

Online stores and local businesses that already have customers buying from them, and make enough profit on each sale to spend money on ads.

If we don't think we can help, we'll tell you honestly on the free call, and we won't take your money.

How much does it cost?

Our fee starts at R10,990 a month, plus the money you spend on ads.

We'll tell you your exact fee on the free call, before you commit to anything.

Do I have to sign a long contract?

No.

You sign a 90-day agreement, because it takes time to test your ads and improve them.

After 90 days, you can cancel any time.

How fast can my ads go live?

About two weeks after you say yes, so your ads can run the same month.

Do you guarantee results?

Yes, with conditions.

If your ROAS doesn't go up, or your cost per lead or sale doesn't come down, within 90 days, we'll work for free until they do, which means we don't charge our monthly fee.

You need to have spent at least R30,000 on ads in the last 3 months, and specials, discounts and Black Friday deals are left out of the comparison.

You still spend your own money on the ads.

Who will work on my account?

Your own dedicated advertising strategist, backed by a team of 40 across South Africa.

Our head office is in Johannesburg.

Do you work with businesses outside South Africa?

Yes.

We take on clients worldwide.

What don't you do?

Logos, branding and daily social media posts.

We focus on the ads, videos, funnels, emails and follow-ups that bring in sales and leads.

I can't thank Jandre and his team at V8 enough!!! The team have single handedly transformed our business at Kuraflo, fantastic results with social media implementation and execution. Gilbert & Malissa have patiently guided and educated us, devoting huge amounts of time and effort to our cause, taking time to understand our product, pain points and audience with great results. We are very grateful.
