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.

Google Ads for Canterbury Businesses That Need Better Enquiries

Canterbury is a broad, competitive market, with Christchurch driving strong demand while towns and rural areas support trades, tourism, hospitality, retail, professional services, rural suppliers, and industrial businesses. Customers often compare several options before calling, booking, or requesting a quote, especially when the job is urgent, high value, or location-sensitive.

Google Ads helps your business appear when people are actively searching for what you offer, from visitors looking for local experiences to homeowners needing a tradie or businesses comparing regional suppliers. The focus should be on qualified leads and enquiries, not just more traffic.

Legend manages campaigns with practical targeting, budget control, conversion tracking, and clear reporting so you can see what is generating value. We help Canterbury businesses put spend where it has the best chance of turning search demand into real commercial outcomes.

Faq

Does Google Ads work for Canterbury businesses?: Google Ads can be a good fit for Canterbury businesses when people are actively searching for what you offer, such as trades, professional services, health providers, accommodation, retail, or tourism experiences. The key is matching ads to local search intent, so your budget is focused on people looking for services in places like Christchurch, Rangiora, Ashburton, Timaru, and surrounding areas.

How much should a Canterbury business budget for Google Ads?: Your Google Ads budget depends on your goals, competition, service area, and the value of a new enquiry. A Canterbury-wide campaign will usually need a different budget from one focused on a smaller area or a single high-value service, so we help shape the spend around realistic commercial outcomes rather than chasing clicks for their own sake.

Can Google Ads target my exact service areas in Canterbury?: Yes, Google Ads can target specific parts of Canterbury, including Christchurch, Selwyn, Waimakariri, Ashburton, Timaru, and other nearby areas where you want more enquiries. This is useful if your business services certain suburbs, travels across the region, or wants to avoid paying for clicks from locations that are unlikely to convert.

How do you improve lead quality from Google Ads in Canterbury?: Lead quality depends on the keywords, ad messaging, landing page, targeting, and tracking setup. We focus on searches that show strong buying intent, such as people looking for a local provider, quote, booking, repair, consultation, or service in Canterbury, then refine the campaign based on which enquiries are most useful to your business.

Should Canterbury businesses use Google Ads alongside SEO?: Google Ads and SEO work best when they support each other. Google Ads can help you appear quickly for high-intent Canterbury searches, while SEO builds longer-term visibility in organic results; with conversion tracking in place, you can see which campaigns, keywords, and landing pages are producing enquiries and make better decisions over time.
