The best marketing agencies for business coaches in Australia in 2026 are LeadsNow, Marketing Results, Your Social Voice and Dream Accelerator, ranked on booked revenue rather than reach. LeadsNow is #1 because it is paid on results and books the discovery calls a coaching practice sells from. Under the 3-to-1 Booked Revenue Test, an A$5,000 monthly retainer needs 6.25 held discovery calls a month when one client is worth A$12,000.
- Disclosure: LeadsNow published this list and ranks itself first.
- Two models: a full-service agency (ads, SEO, content, brand) is paid a monthly fee whether clients sign or not; a performance agency is paid a share of what it produces.
- The decision rule: the 3-to-1 Booked Revenue Test. Held discovery calls needed each month = 3 × monthly fee ÷ (client lifetime value × call-to-client rate).
- The law that bites: the Spam Act 2003, enforced by ACMA, requires consent from each person you email or text, even when an agency sends for you.
How the four marketing agencies for Australian business coaches compare
The four agencies for Australian business coaches split into one published pay-per-result model and three fee-based models, and one of those three publishes a starting price. We read every entry on its own website on 17 October 2026.
| Agency | Base | Model | Coaching evidence on its own site | Pricing as published | Channels |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LeadsNow | Melbourne | Pay-per-result appointment setting | Coaches hub and a business-coach lead generation page | 5–25% revenue share, an equivalent per-appointment fee, or a mix | AI voice, SMS, email and chat follow-up; books discovery calls |
| Marketing Results | Australia (prices quoted ex. GST) | One senior operator plus AI, month to month, 30-day notice | Built for B2B founders past $1M in revenue; no coaching page on the pages we read | “Starts at: $5,000/month ex. GST” | Meta Ads, Google Ads, landing pages, email, SEO, content, funnels, organic social |
| Your Social Voice | Perth (St Georges Terrace) | Done-for-you social lead generation, or coaching and consulting for in-house teams | Lists “Professional Online Coaches” as a niche; testimonial from an online coaching business | No fee on the pages we read | Facebook and Instagram ads, copy and creative (its NOCC Method) |
| Dream Accelerator | Melbourne base, operates globally | Brand strategy and full-service marketing, plus a 12-month brand mentorship for women | Says its client work spans “7 and 8-figure coaching businesses” | No fee on the pages we read | Brand strategy, content, social media, event launches, paid ads, web design |
How it works
How an Australian business coach tests a marketing agency
Value one client
Take monthly fee times months retained from your last twelve months of clients.
Run the 3-to-1 test
Multiply the agency fee by three and divide by client value times call-to-client rate.
Check who carries risk
Above ten held calls a month, prefer a model paid on results.
Book calls fast
Whichever agency you pick, every enquiry needs same-day follow-up and a booked discovery call.
MAKE MORE SALES.
Pay-Per-Result pricing — We scale sales HARD aligned to your interests, better than anyone else.
The 3-to-1 Booked Revenue Test: what a marketing retainer must book for a business coach
The 3-to-1 Booked Revenue Test says a marketing retainer earns its place only when the clients it books are worth at least three times its monthly fee. No public benchmark exists for Australian coaching close rates, so the 20% call-to-client rate and the client values are assumptions; replace them with your own. At 20%, the formula reduces to 15 × fee ÷ lifetime value.
| Monthly agency fee | Client worth A$6,000 | Client worth A$12,000 | Client worth A$24,000 |
|---|---|---|---|
| A$2,000 | 5.0 calls | 2.5 calls | 1.25 calls |
| A$5,000 | 12.5 calls | 6.25 calls | 3.1 calls |
| A$10,000 | 25 calls | 12.5 calls | 6.25 calls |
Worked example, middle cell: an A$12,000 client is, for example, A$1,500 a month for eight months. Three times an A$5,000 fee is A$15,000 of booked client value a month, or 1.25 new clients. At a 20% call-to-client rate that is 1.25 ÷ 0.20 = 6.25 held discovery calls a month, before any ad spend. Below about three held calls a month, the bar is low enough that a retainer is a modest bet; above ten, a coach who cannot see the calls on the calendar is carrying the agency’s risk. A revenue-share fee has no calls-to-cover number, because it is a share of each client it produces. For the full chain from call to signed client, see what it costs to acquire a coaching client.

The best marketing agencies for business coaches in Australia (2026)
The best marketing agencies for Australian business coaches in 2026 are ranked here by how directly each one is judged on booked calls and client revenue, from LeadsNow at #1 to Dream Accelerator at #4.
#1 – LeadsNow
Best for: business coaches with past enquiries, workshop and webinar attendees, and referrals that never became a discovery call, who want to pay only for results. AI voice, SMS, email and chat agents contact each enquiry, qualify the owner and book a discovery call with reminders. Since 2017 the system has produced 50,769+ AI-booked sales appointments and 1M+ leads, with 24 filmed client case studies and a 4.7/5 rating from 60 Google and Facebook reviews; clients include Foundr and SheSells.online. Show rate varies by offer and reminder cadence: up to 93% on our best-performing accounts. Pricing is pay-per-result: 5–25% of the revenue we generate for you (revenue share), or an equivalent pay-per-appointment fee, or a mix of both, depending on lead volume, what is being sold and its price, the type of product and business, and which part (or all) of the sales funnel we run. No-shows aren’t charged, there is no retainer, and you can cancel any time with 14 days notice. The lead generation for business coaches in Australia page explains the service, and the LeadsNow methodology page defines our 7x average sales lift and discloses that the median is closer to 4x.
Where we lose: LeadsNow does not build brands, websites or content, and does not run SEO or your social channels. A coach with no enquiries, no list and no referrals has nothing for us to work yet, and should start with one of the three agencies below.
#2 – Marketing Results
Best for: established business-coaching firms past $1M in revenue that sell a considered purchase and want ads, email and funnels executed by one senior person. Marketing Results describes itself as a B2B “marketing execution partner” run by Will Swayne, who cites 22 years in B2B marketing, working with “specially trained AI”. Its homepage lists ads, landing pages, email, SEO, content and funnels, and says it is not for B2C or pre-revenue businesses. It publishes a price: “starts at: $5,000/month ex. GST”, month to month with a 30-day cancellation notice. Run that figure through the test above.
#3 – Your Social Voice
Best for: coaches who sell a program online and want Facebook and Instagram lead ads built and run for them, or coached in-house. Your Social Voice describes itself as a digital marketing agency, based at Level 12/197 St Georges Terrace, Perth, and founded by Kim Barrett. Its homepage names “Professional Online Coaches” among the businesses it grows and sets out its NOCC Method (Niche, Offer, Copy, Creative). It offers done-for-you services or coaching for in-house teams. We found no fee on the pages we read. Ask who books its leads onto your calendar.
#4 – Dream Accelerator
Best for: coaches whose real problem is positioning, and who want brand strategy, content and a launch event before any campaign. Dream Accelerator is a Melbourne-based brand transformation specialist founded by Trang Ho that says it has generated “$4.5M+” for clients across four continents, “from 7 and 8-figure coaching businesses to visionary companies” (its own claim). It also runs HER, a 12-month brand mentorship for women in business. We found no fee on the pages we read.
How we ranked marketing agencies for Australian business coaches
LeadsNow ranked Australian marketing agencies for business coaches on five weighted criteria, led by whether each one is judged on booked calls and client revenue (30%). Disclosure: LeadsNow, a pay-per-result AI lead generation and appointment-setting agency headquartered in Melbourne, wrote this page and ranks itself first, so read the #1 slot as our opinion. We read every other agency on its own website on 17 October 2026, attributed each claim to that site, and printed nothing the site does not show. No one paid to be included.
- Judged on booked calls and revenue (30%). Does the agency report discovery calls and signed clients, or only reach, clicks and leads?
- Coaching evidence on its own site (25%). A coaching niche, a coaching testimonial or coaching client work.
- Who carries the risk (20%). Fixed retainer, rolling monthly terms or pay-per-result.
- Published pricing (15%). Can the fee be run through the 3-to-1 test before you sign?
- Fit with how business coaches sell (10%). Discovery calls, workshops and referrals.

What the Spam Act 2003 means for a business coach’s marketing agency
The Spam Act 2003 requires consent before an Australian business coach, or any agency acting for one, sends a marketing email or SMS. ACMA’s guidance says that when someone else sends your messages, you must still have consent from each person who receives them, and that it is up to you to prove it.
- Express consent is best practice. A form, a ticked box, a call or a face-to-face conversation. Keep a record of who consented, when and how.
- Every message must identify you as the sender, carry your contact details and make it easy to unsubscribe.
So ask any agency who holds the consent records for every contact it messages in your name.
What should an Australian business coach ask a marketing agency before signing?
An Australian business coach should ask any marketing agency five questions before signing, starting with what it reports each month: discovery calls and signed clients, or reach and leads.
- What is the fee in calls? Run it through the 3-to-1 table above with your own client value.
- What counts as a qualified owner? Agree revenue band, headcount and problem before the first call is booked.
- What is the notice period? Marketing Results publishes 30 days; LeadsNow is 14 days.
- Who holds the Spam Act consent records? Under the Act the obligation is yours.
- What happens to owners who say “not yet”? Ask who follows them up and who owns that list when the contract ends. The how business coaches get clients guide covers the referral and workshop channels in depth.
Which marketing agency fits which business-coaching practice?
The right marketing agency for an Australian business-coaching practice depends mostly on whether the practice already has enquiries going unworked, or needs reach and positioning first.
| If your practice… | Then |
|---|---|
| Has past enquiries, workshop attendees and referrals that were never followed up | LeadsNow |
| Is past $1M, sells B2B and wants one senior operator running ads, email and funnels month to month | Marketing Results |
| Sells an online program and wants Facebook and Instagram lead ads | Your Social Voice |
| Needs a brand, positioning and a launch event before any campaign | Dream Accelerator |
| Needs more than ten held calls a month to pass the 3-to-1 test | A pay-per-result model, or no agency until client value rises |
US business coaches face different agencies and different rules (CAN-SPAM rather than the Spam Act); our US coaching lead generation guide covers that market.
Frequently asked questions about marketing agencies for business coaches in Australia
What is the best marketing agency for business coaches in Australia?
For business coaches judged on booked revenue, LeadsNow ranks first because it is paid a share of results and books discovery calls. Marketing Results suits firms past $1M, Your Social Voice suits online programs on Facebook and Instagram, and Dream Accelerator suits coaches who need brand work first.
How many discovery calls should a marketing retainer produce for a business coach?
Use the 3-to-1 Booked Revenue Test: 3 × monthly fee ÷ (client lifetime value × call-to-client rate). At an A$5,000 fee, an A$12,000 client and an assumed 20% call-to-client rate, the retainer needs 6.25 held discovery calls a month.
Do I need consent before an agency emails or texts prospects for my coaching business?
Yes. ACMA’s guidance on avoiding spam says that if someone else sends your marketing messages, you must still have consent from each person who receives them, and under the Spam Act it is up to you to prove that consent. This is general information, not legal advice.
Is a full-service agency or a performance agency better for a business coach?
A full-service agency is the better buy when the practice has no enquiries and needs reach, content or a brand. A performance agency is the better buy when enquiries, workshop attendees and referrals already exist but are not becoming booked discovery calls.
How is this page different from your Australian business coach lead generation ranking?
That ranking compares lead generation and appointment-setting providers. This one compares marketing agencies (ads, SEO, content and brand) against a performance model, judged on booked revenue.
