If you’ve ever looked into Google Ads management, you’ve probably seen some pretty wild pricing.
$800 per month.
$1,500 per month.
$3,000+ per month.
Some agencies charge per campaign.
Some charge per goal.
Some won’t even tell you how much of your monthly bill is actually ad spend vs their management fee.
That last one? Huge red flag 🚩
So let’s talk about why I charge $250 per month to manage Google Ads, why that’s very different to most agencies, and why it works better for small businesses.
The Problem With Most Google Ads Pricing
Here’s what I see far too often when businesses come to me for help.
• They don’t know how much they’re paying just to run the ads
• They don’t know how many leads the ads have generated
• They’ve never been told what their ROI actually is
• They’re locked into long contracts with no way out
• Their ads haven’t been improved, tested, or optimised in months
Some agencies charge thousands per month and then… do nothing meaningful to improve performance. No testing. No refining keywords. No improving conversions. No proper reporting.
And yet the invoices keep coming.
That’s not okay.
Why I Do Things Differently
I charge $250 per month for Google Ads management because I believe in:
• Transparency
• Fair pricing
• Real results
• Long-term relationships
• Letting performance speak for itself
You’ll always know exactly:
• What your ad spend is
• What my management fee is
• How many leads your ads are generating
• What your cost per lead is
• Whether your ads are improving month to month
No smoke and mirrors. No bundled mystery pricing. No “trust us” nonsense.
“But Isn’t $250 Too Cheap?”
Short answer: no.
Longer answer: the price tag does not reflect the quality of the work.
I’m good at what I do. I’ve been doing digital marketing for over 15 years. I live and breathe Google. I obsess over data, performance, and optimisation.
The reason I can charge $250 per month is because:
• I work efficiently
• I know exactly what matters in Google Ads
• I don’t pad invoices for the sake of it
• I care more about results than squeezing every dollar
I’d rather help more great small businesses grow than overcharge a few.
No Contracts. No Lock-Ins. No Pressure.
Another big difference?
I don’t lock you into contracts.
Why would I?
If I’m doing my job properly, you’ll stay because your ads are working, not because a contract forces you to.
You should be able to leave at any time if it’s not the right fit. That keeps me accountable and keeps your best interests front and centre.
Why I Really Price It This Way
The truth is simple.
I care.
I care about small businesses.
I care about people spending their hard-earned money wisely.
I care about delivering results that actually make a difference.
Google Ads is a powerful tool when it’s done right. And when it is done right, it can absolutely change a business.
I have a skill. I use it to help amazing small businesses all over New Zealand grow. I’m transparent. I’m fair. And I stand by my work.
If you’re tired of overpaying, guessing, or being kept in the dark, there is another way.
And this is it.
