Sixty seconds on what this is

Why we run it for free, and what you walk out with.

How it works

Not a seminar. A working session.

Small room, laptops open, everything built in front of you. Ask questions the whole way through.

We build, you copy along

Every section ends with the thing actually made. An offer written, a page structured, an ad created. You follow on your own laptop rather than watching a slide about it.

Your business, not a case study

We use a real business in the room as the worked example, and you apply each step to your own as we go. Bring your numbers and your website.

Questions answered out loud

The group is deliberately small. If something does not apply to your situation, say so and we will work through what does.

What we cover

The full six hours, start to finish

10:00am

The numbers that decide everything

Cost per lead, close rate, what a customer is actually worth. The napkin maths that tells you whether a campaign can work before you spend a dollar on it.

11:00am

Competitors and offers

How to pull up what your competitors are running right now, then build an offer that walks through the gap. The difference between a service and an offer, and two formulas for writing one.

12:30pm

Lunch

Break for lunch at the venue. The kitchen opens at midday, so grab something, talk to the people on your table, and we pick straight back up after.

1:15pm

Landing pages and CRM, built live

What a page needs to turn a click into a booked job. We build one in front of you and wire it to a CRM so the lead does not die in an inbox.

2:30pm

Google Ads and Meta Ads

Campaign structure, match types, targeting, and the simplest setup that works. Then we make an ad in the room rather than talk about making one.

3:30pm

Putting the machine together

Traffic, page, form, CRM, follow up, booked job. How the parts connect, how to see which one is broken, and open questions until we finish at 4pm.

That is the six hours. Free, and there is nothing to buy on the day.

Tuesday 29 September · Melbourne · seats limited by the room

The venue

Here is exactly where you are going

I have booked the Barkly Room at the Plough Hotel in Footscray for us.

It is the room at the back of the pub, with its own bar, doors onto the courtyard and a big screen up the front. Sixty seats, and one screen everybody can actually see.

I picked Footscray because it is easy to get to from either side of town. It is about seven kilometres west of the city, roughly fifteen minutes in the car, and a fifteen minute walk from Footscray station if you would rather leave the car at home.

We start at 10:00am and we are done by 4:00pm. Bring a laptop if you can, because we build the page and the ads in the room and it lands a lot better when you are doing it with us.

I will give you a ring before the day to confirm your seat.

What happens on the day

10:00am to 4:00pm

Six hours with a break for lunch in the middle. Come a few minutes early so we can start on time.

Bring a laptop

We build a landing page and an ad live in the room. You get far more out of it doing it alongside us.

Free, nothing to buy

No ticket, no upsell, and no pitch from the back of the room at the end of it.

Lunch at the venue

We break for lunch at 12:30 and the kitchen opens at midday, so you can grab something at the pub without going anywhere.

How the room actually runs

Small group, laptops open, nobody sitting at the back taking notes they will never read.

Twenty-odd business owners were in the last room. Same seat is open now.

Takes about thirty seconds · I call you to confirm

What you leave with

Work done, not notes taken

  • An offer written down, in a form you can actually run
  • Your own numbers worked out, so you know what a lead is worth to you
  • A landing page structure you can hand to whoever builds your site
  • A read on what your competitors run and where they are weak
  • A clear picture of which part of your funnel is leaking
  • Answers to your situation, out loud, in the room

This is for you if

  • You run a business and you own the marketing decisions
  • You have tried an agency or two and come away unimpressed
  • You are spending on ads without being sure what is working
  • You would rather understand it than keep outsourcing it blind

Probably not for you if

  • You want someone to take it all off your hands today
  • You are after a get rich quick angle
  • You sell marketing services yourself
The obvious question

Why would you pay for a marketing workshop?

Most of them run a few hundred to a couple of thousand dollars for a day, and a fair few of those end with someone selling you something from the stage. I would rather you just came and had a look.

$0

It costs nothing

No ticket, no deposit, no card on file. If you turn up and it is not for you, you have lost an afternoon and that is the whole downside.

0

Nothing to buy on the day

There is no back of the room pitch and no upsell. I will ask once at the end if you want help. Say no and that is genuinely the end of it.

4

You leave with work done

Not notes about someone else’s business. Bring a laptop and your own numbers and you walk out with your offer written and a page built.

Treat it as a trial. Come once, see whether the way we do this makes sense to you, and decide after that. That is a far better way to work out if we are any good than reading a case study.

From the last workshop

The Q&A we filmed in the room

A closed door, a room full of Melbourne operators, and the questions people actually ask once the slides are off. This is the tone of the afternoon.

  • Why single channel scaling is dead, and what replaced it
  • The offer mistakes that keep good businesses stuck
  • What is actually working in paid ads right now
  • Where SEO fits in 2026
  • The unglamorous systems doing the heavy lifting

Save your seat

Pop your details in and I will call you to confirm. Seats are limited by the size of the room, and I would rather have twenty people who turn up than sixty who say maybe.

  • Melbourne, Tuesday 29 September
  • 10:00am to 4:00pm, Plough Hotel, 333 Barkly Street, Footscray
  • Free to attend, nothing to buy on the day
  • Bring a laptop if you have one

Takes about thirty seconds.

Still not sure

Questions before you register

Is it really free?

Yes. There is nothing to buy on the day and no back of the room pitch. We run these because a handful of people each time end up wanting help afterwards, and that is a better way to meet them than a cold call.

Do I need to know anything already?

No. We start with the basic terms and the numbers, so it works whether you have run ads for years or have never opened an ad account. If you are well past the basics, the offer and funnel sections are where you will get the most.

Should I bring a laptop?

Bring one if you can. We build a landing page and an ad live, and it is far more useful if you are doing it alongside us. If you cannot, you will still follow everything fine.

Where exactly is it and is there parking?

The Barkly Room at the Plough Hotel, 333 Barkly Street, Footscray. It is about seven kilometres west of the city, roughly fifteen minutes in the car, and a fifteen minute walk from Footscray station. There is street parking around Barkly Street plus a few public car parks a block or two away, and I will send you the easiest one with your confirmation. There is a photo of the room and a map further up this page.

What if I register and then cannot make it?

Just tell us when we call, or reply to the confirmation. Seats are limited, so letting us know early means someone else can take your spot.

Will you try to sell me something afterwards?

We will ask if you want help. If you say no, that is the end of it. Nobody gets hounded for saying they are not interested.

Still reading? Put your name down and I will call you to confirm.

Who is running it

Dean Gravina

I run Results Media out of Melbourne. We do the whole funnel for our clients, SEO, Google and Meta ads, landing pages, CRM and the follow up, rather than one slice of it. I have been doing the SEO side of this for over a decade.

I run these workshops because most of what business owners get told about marketing is either vague or sold to them by someone with an angle. Six hours in a room showing the actual mechanics does more than any amount of that.
