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 Wanaka Businesses Competing for Better Enquiries

Wanaka has a busy, competitive mix of tourism, hospitality, retail, trades, professional services, rural support, and businesses serving a growing residential market. Customers often compare options quickly, whether they are locals needing a reliable service, visitors booking ahead, or property owners looking for trades and maintenance.

Google Ads helps Wanaka businesses appear at the point people are actively searching, comparing, and ready to enquire. The value is in attracting qualified leads, not just traffic, with campaigns shaped around real search intent, seasonality, location targeting, and the services that matter most commercially.

Legend manages Google Ads with practical campaign structure, careful budget control, conversion tracking, and clear reporting. You can see which searches, ads, and landing pages are generating enquiries, so your spend is tied to measurable outcomes rather than guesswork.

Faq

Does Google Ads work for local businesses in Wanaka?: Google Ads can be effective for Wanaka businesses when campaigns are built around clear local search intent, such as people looking for a tradie, accommodation, activity, clinic, retailer, or professional service in the area. Wanaka has a mix of local residents, holiday homeowners, visitors, and surrounding communities, so targeting needs to be tight enough to attract the right enquiries rather than just more traffic.

What Google Ads budget does a Wanaka business need?: Your budget depends on your goals, competition, seasonality, and the area you want to cover. A Wanaka campaign may need to account for visitor demand, peak tourism periods, and nearby service areas, so we recommend starting with a budget that can generate enough data to judge enquiry quality and make informed improvements.

Can Google Ads target Wanaka and the surrounding area?: Yes, Google Ads can target Wanaka and surrounding areas depending on where your best customers are. This may include nearby communities, rural properties, ski and tourism-related demand, or wider Central Otago searches if your business is set up to service them.

How do you improve lead quality from Google Ads in Wanaka?: Lead quality is improved by matching ads and landing pages to specific local searches, then filtering out searches that are too broad, irrelevant, or unlikely to convert. We look at the actual enquiries coming through, not just clicks, so the campaign can be refined towards the Wanaka searches that are more commercially useful.

How does Google Ads tracking compare with SEO for Wanaka enquiries?: Google Ads tracking can show which keywords, ads, and locations are producing calls, form submissions, and other useful enquiries. SEO is still important for long-term organic visibility in Wanaka, while Google Ads can help you appear for high-intent searches sooner; many businesses use both to cover immediate demand and longer-term growth.
