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 Christchurch Businesses Competing for Better Enquiries

Christchurch has a broad, competitive business mix, from trades, construction, industrial and professional services through to retail, hospitality, tourism, rural support and regional service businesses. Customers often compare several options before they call, book or request a quote, especially in high-value or urgent service categories.

Google Ads can put your business in front of people at the point they are actively searching in Christchurch and the surrounding areas. The focus is not just traffic, but qualified leads and enquiries from people with clear intent.

Legend manages campaigns with practical structure, sensible budget control, conversion tracking and clear reporting, so you can see what is producing results. We help Christchurch businesses make sharper advertising decisions and turn local search demand into measurable opportunities.

Faq

Does Google Ads work for Christchurch businesses?: Google Ads can work well for Christchurch businesses when campaigns are matched to clear local search intent, such as people looking for trades, professional services, health providers, accommodation, or retailers in their area. The aim is to reach people already searching for what you offer and turn that demand into qualified enquiries, not just website traffic.

How much should a Christchurch business spend on Google Ads?: Budget depends on your goals, the competitiveness of your industry, and whether you want to target central Christchurch, suburbs such as Riccarton, Hornby, Papanui, and Addington, or the wider Canterbury market. We focus on making your spend commercially useful by prioritising higher-intent keywords, sensible geographic targeting, and enquiries that have a realistic chance of becoming customers.

Can Google Ads target Christchurch and the surrounding areas?: Yes, Google Ads can be set up around the exact areas you serve, from Christchurch city through to places like Rolleston, Rangiora, Kaiapoi, Lincoln, and Lyttelton. This is useful for service businesses that travel across Canterbury, as well as businesses that want to focus spend only where enquiries are most valuable.

How do you track lead quality from Google Ads?: Lead quality is measured by tracking the actions that matter, such as phone calls, enquiry forms, booking requests, and quote requests. We review which keywords, ads, devices, and locations are producing better enquiries, then refine the campaign to reduce wasted spend and focus on searches that show stronger buying intent.

Should Christchurch businesses use Google Ads or SEO?: Google Ads and SEO support different parts of a Christchurch marketing strategy. Google Ads can help you appear quickly for high-intent local searches, while SEO builds longer-term organic visibility for suburbs, services, and informational searches across Christchurch and Canterbury. Many businesses use both so they can generate enquiries now while steadily improving their unpaid search presence.
