Common questions

What budget do you need for Google Ads in South Africa?

For most SA business categories, a meaningful test requires R3,000–R5,000/month in ad spend. In competitive categories (legal, financial, medical), you need more. We recommend a 30-day test budget before committing to ongoing spend.

How do you charge for Google Ads management?

A flat management fee separate from your ad spend. The fee covers campaign setup, keyword research, ad copywriting, optimisation, and monthly reporting. Ad spend goes directly to Google, we do not take a percentage of spend.

How long before Google Ads shows results?

Properly set up campaigns typically show measurable results within 2–4 weeks. The first month is a learning phase. Results improve significantly from month 2 as optimisation decisions are backed by real conversion data.

What makes a Google Ads campaign fail?

No conversion tracking set up (you cannot optimise what you cannot measure), too-broad keyword match types burning budget on irrelevant searches, campaigns left at default settings, and landing pages that do not match what the ad promises.

Do you manage Meta or LinkedIn Ads?

Our primary focus is Google Ads (Search and Performance Max). For clients that need Meta or LinkedIn Ads alongside Google, we can manage these as part of a broader paid media strategy.
