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 Timaru Businesses That Need Better Enquiries

Timaru has a varied local economy, with demand spread across trades, professional services, retail, hospitality, tourism, rural services, industrial activity, and businesses serving the wider South Canterbury region. Customers often compare options carefully, whether they are locals booking a service, visitors looking for places to stay or eat, or property owners and businesses needing reliable suppliers.

Google Ads helps Timaru businesses appear when people are actively searching and weighing up who to contact next. With the right structure, campaigns can focus spend on the services, locations, and search terms most likely to produce qualified leads and genuine enquiries.

Legend manages Google Ads with a practical focus on commercial outcomes, not vanity metrics. We set up conversion tracking, control budgets carefully, refine campaigns based on search behaviour, and provide clear reporting so you can see what is driving enquiry in Timaru and the surrounding area.

Faq

Does Google Ads work for local businesses in Timaru?: Google Ads can work well for Timaru businesses when people are already searching for what you offer, such as trades, professional services, health services, retail, accommodation, or local suppliers. The focus is on matching your ads to local search intent so you are visible when potential customers are ready to make an enquiry.

How much should a Timaru business budget for Google Ads?: Your budget depends on your goals, competition, service area, and the value of each new customer or enquiry. A Timaru campaign might focus tightly on the town itself, or use a broader budget to cover South Canterbury locations such as Temuka, Pleasant Point, Geraldine, and Waimate where relevant.

Can Google Ads target Timaru and the surrounding service areas?: Yes, Google Ads can be set up around the areas your business actually serves, rather than wasting spend on locations that are not useful. For Timaru businesses, that may mean targeting the town, nearby rural areas, wider South Canterbury, or specific locations where you want more enquiries.

How do you improve lead quality from Google Ads in Timaru?: Lead quality is managed by choosing the right keywords, writing clear ads, using negative keywords, and sending people to landing pages that match what they searched for. We also look at which Timaru-related searches are producing calls, forms, bookings, or quote requests so the campaign can be refined over time.

How are Google Ads enquiries tracked, and how does this compare with SEO?: Tracking can show which ads, keywords, devices, and locations are generating enquiries, so you are not relying on guesswork. Google Ads can help capture immediate demand, while SEO builds longer-term visibility for Timaru searches, and the best choice depends on your goals, timeframe, and existing website performance.
