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.

Google Ads for Manawatū-Whanganui Businesses

Manawatū-Whanganui has a broad regional economy, with Palmerston North service and retail demand, Whanganui tourism and hospitality, trades, professional services, rural support, industrial activity, and growing residential areas all competing for attention. Customers often compare options across town boundaries, especially when they need someone reliable, available, and easy to contact.

Google Ads helps your business appear when people are actively searching for what you offer, whether that is an urgent tradie, a local supplier, a professional service, or somewhere to stay, eat, visit, or buy from. The goal is not just more traffic, but more qualified enquiries from people with real intent.

Legend manages campaigns with practical structure, tight budget control, conversion tracking, and clear reporting so you can see what is driving calls, forms, bookings, and sales. We focus on making your spend work harder in the Manawatū-Whanganui market, not dressing up clicks that do not turn into business.

Does Google Ads work for local businesses in Manawatū-Whanganui?

Google Ads can be a good fit when people in the region are actively searching for what you sell, such as trades, professional services, accommodation, health services, retail, or tourism experiences. In Manawatū-Whanganui, campaigns often need to reflect different search patterns across places like Palmerston North, Whanganui, Feilding, Levin, and the wider rural catchment. The focus should be on local search intent and enquiries that have a reasonable chance of becoming real customers.

What Google Ads budget should a Manawatū-Whanganui business allow for?

Your budget depends on your goals, competition, service area, and the value of a new enquiry or customer. A business targeting Palmerston North and Whanganui may need a different approach from one focused on a smaller town or a specialist service across the whole region. We recommend setting a budget that is large enough to collect useful data, then refining the campaign based on what enquiries are actually coming through.

Can Google Ads target my service areas across Manawatū-Whanganui?

Google Ads can target specific towns, districts, radius areas, or the wider Manawatū-Whanganui region depending on where you want work from. This is useful for businesses that service multiple areas, such as tradies covering Palmerston North and Feilding, or operators wanting enquiries from Whanganui, Rangitīkei, Ruapehu, Horowhenua, or Tararua. The targeting should match where you can profitably deliver the work, not just where clicks are available.

How do you improve lead quality from Google Ads in Manawatū-Whanganui?

Lead quality is managed through the keywords, ad copy, landing page, location targeting, and negative keywords used in the campaign. For example, a Manawatū-Whanganui service business may need to filter out DIY searches, job seekers, price-only shoppers, or enquiries from areas it does not serve. The aim is to attract people with clear local intent who are more likely to call, book, request a quote, or make an enquiry.

How are Google Ads enquiries tracked, and how does this work with SEO?

We use tracking to measure actions such as phone calls, form submissions, quote requests, and other meaningful enquiries, so you can see more than just clicks. SEO and Google Ads can also work together: Google Ads can bring visibility for high-intent searches sooner, while SEO builds longer-term organic presence in Manawatū-Whanganui search results. Reporting should show which searches, locations, and campaigns are producing useful enquiries, so decisions are based on evidence rather than guesswork.
