Finding the Right Fit for Your Google Ads Budget Find Your Fit

Our Google Ads plans are built around your monthly ad spend.

We price Google Ads management based on monthly ad spend, so you can see where your budget sits before we start talking. Smaller campaigns use fixed monthly fees. Once your ad spend is over $5,500/month, we move to a simple 20% of monthly ad spend + GST model.

Your ad spend is paid directly to Google. Our fee covers the management side: setup, optimisation, reporting, and helping you understand what is actually happening inside the account. Standard setup is included. If your account needs complex tracking, ecommerce feeds, Merchant Center clean-up, landing page work, or a more involved setup, we’ll scope that separately before anything starts.

If you’re not sure whether your budget is ready for Google Ads, talk to us. We’ll be upfront if the numbers do not make sense yet.

Faq

Does Google Ads work for local businesses in Ashburton?: Google Ads can suit Ashburton businesses when people are actively searching for what you offer, such as trades, professional services, rural support, clinics, retail, or accommodation. The value comes from matching ads to local search intent, so your budget is focused on people looking for services in Ashburton or the wider Mid Canterbury area. Results depend on demand, competition, offer strength, and how well the campaign is managed.

How much should an Ashburton business spend on Google Ads?: Your Google Ads budget should be based on your goals, the services you want to promote, competition in your category, and the area you want to cover. An Ashburton business targeting urgent local enquiries may need a different approach from one trying to reach customers across Mid Canterbury. We usually recommend starting with a focused campaign that can be measured and refined before increasing spend.

Can Google Ads target Ashburton and surrounding service areas?: Yes, Google Ads can be targeted to Ashburton as well as surrounding areas such as Tinwald, Rakaia, Methven, Hinds, and wider Mid Canterbury, depending on where your customers come from. This is useful for service businesses that travel, rural contractors, tourism operators, and businesses that want enquiries from nearby towns. The important part is setting locations carefully so spend is not wasted on areas you do not serve.

How do Google Ads campaigns improve lead quality and tracking?: Lead quality is improved by targeting high-intent search terms, writing ads that clearly qualify the enquiry, and sending people to landing pages that explain your service, location, and next step. Tracking is set up to measure meaningful actions such as phone calls, form submissions, and quote requests rather than just clicks. Over time, we can see which keywords, ads, and locations are producing better enquiries and adjust the campaign accordingly.

Should Ashburton businesses use Google Ads or SEO for local enquiries?: Google Ads and SEO serve different purposes for Ashburton businesses. Google Ads can help you appear for local searches sooner, while SEO builds longer-term organic visibility for searches related to your services, location, and expertise. Many businesses use both, with Google Ads generating measurable enquiries while SEO strengthens local presence over time.
