What is an AI-native agency?

An AI-native agency is built around AI from day one. Software agents do the repetitive work: reading every account, checking tracking, watching spend, drafting findings. People do what software cannot: judge what matters for your business, talk to you, and answer for the advice. King St Ads Co. is an AI-native paid media agency for owner-led businesses in Sydney's Inner West. The Audit costs $449 AUD and takes 7 business days.

Read your Google Ads, Meta Ads and GA4 end to end, check tracking, match your public listings, and draft ranked findings.

The operating model

Agents do the reading. A strategist makes the call. You hold the pen.

Most of what makes an agency slow and expensive is reading: exporting reports, scanning search terms, cross-checking tracking. We give that to software and keep the people for judgement.

AI agents

Read everything, every time

  • Read every campaign, ad group, search term and conversion action, not a sample.
  • Test whether your tracking records real enquiries or counts page loads.
  • Match your website, Google Business Profile and ads for suburb, phone and hours.
  • Compare you with similar Inner West businesses using public ad libraries.
  • Draft findings with the evidence attached.
Your strategist

Decide what matters

  • Check each finding against how your business really runs.
  • Remove false alarms, such as a pause that was deliberate.
  • Rank the fixes by dollars saved and effort needed.
  • Write the 90-day plan in plain English.
  • Sign the report, and answer your questions.
You

Approve every change

  • Give read-only access. Revoke it the day we deliver.
  • Keep full ownership of every account, login and dollar.
  • Choose which recommendations to act on, and when.
  • Decide whether to continue after the audit. There is no contract.

What AI never does here

  • Changes your campaigns, budgets or ads on its own.
  • Writes testimonials, reviews or case studies.
  • Decides what is compliant for your profession.
  • Makes a promise about results.
How we compare

Three ways to get a second opinion on your ads.

Each option suits some businesses. Here is how they differ on the things owners tell us matter.

A traditional agencyA freelancer, or DIY with AI toolsKing St Ads Co.
How it startsBriefing meetings, then a proposal built around a monthly retainer.A conversation, or a prompt you write yourself.A four-field form. Read-only access instructions arrive by email.
Who reads the accountA person, within the hours scoped to your fee.One person, or a general-purpose chatbot that has never seen your account.AI agents read all of it. A strategist reviews what they find.
Local knowledgeUsually a city-wide or national view.Depends on the person. A chatbot has no local context.Inner West only: suburbs, strips, Census data and local rules built into the checks.
Control of your accountsOften manages the accounts directly.You stay in control, but make every call yourself.Read-only. You own every account, and approve every change.
CommitmentTypically a retainer and a notice period.None.One-off audit. No contract. The retainer is optional.
AccountabilityA named account team.You.A named strategist signs every report. Findings are marked observed or modelled.
Why the Inner West

An agency that knows which street you trade on.

Generic advice fails on the Inner West because the place is not generic. Our checks are built around the local conditions that change how ads should run.

A Marrickville Road dentist, an Enmore Road café and a Leichhardt renovator all buy ads. They should not buy them the same way. Our audit checks distance bands from your front door, trading hours against when people search, the suburbs you actually serve, and what Sydney Metro's Sydenham to Bankstown conversion may mean for your catchment.

How it works

Three steps. Nothing changes in your accounts.

STEP 1

Tell us about the business

Four fields, about 30 seconds. We reply by email with read-only access instructions for Google Ads, Meta Business Manager and GA4.

STEP 2

Agents read, a strategist decides

Our AI agents scan your accounts and public records. A strategist reviews every finding. Wasted spend, broken tracking and quick wins are named specifically.

STEP 3

You get a written plan

A PDF with ranked findings, an Inner West benchmark and a 90-day plan: this week, this month, this quarter. Then you decide. There is no contract.

See it before you buy it

Eight ranked findings with evidence, a scorecard, local market context, a risk register, a 90-day roadmap, an impact model and working appendices. The practice and its figures are invented. The format and the Inner West benchmarks are real.

How we work

Three promises that shape everything else.

Read-only first

The audit never touches your accounts. Viewer access only, revocable the day we deliver. Nothing is paused, changed or published without your say-so.

Numbers we can stand behind

We separate what we observed from what we modelled, and we say which is which. No invented testimonials, no fake urgency, and no guarantee of results.

Local and independent

We work only in Sydney's Inner West, so benchmarks reflect your street. We are not affiliated with the Council, Google or Meta, and we do not take referral fees.

Pricing

Start with a read-only audit. Go ongoing only if it's worth it.

The Audit and Audit + Session never touch your accounts — read-only, revocable the moment we're done. The Retainer is the only tier that manages anything, and even then nothing goes live without sign-off. See "what you provide" below.

01 — Connect

You grant access. Read-only for The Audit — manager-level only if you go ahead with The Retainer.

02 — Monitor

AI agents watch Google Ads, Meta Ads & GA4 around the clock — not once a month at a review meeting.

03 — Recommend

Every change is drafted with a before/after and the reasoning — reviewed against 15+ years of agency-level judgement.

04 — You approve

Routine fixes move fast. Anything structural or budget-level comes to you directly — nothing executes unsupervised.

Ask about The Retainer

Not sure which one? Start with The Audit — that's what most people do, and nothing about it commits you to anything further.

What you provide: for The Audit and Audit + Session, a viewer/read-only invite on your Google Ads account, partner (view) access in Meta Business Manager, and a viewer role on GA4 — the same level of access you'd give any consultant reviewing your accounts, never a login or password. For The Retainer, manager-level access is needed to action anything — but nothing is changed, paused or touched without it being reviewed first, and anything structural or budget-affecting comes to you directly for approval before it goes live. We'll show you real example recommendations before you commit to anything.
