Google Ads FAQ
Real questions people search in South Africa — tap to open.
Ad spend is paid to Google, not me. Most local businesses start at R1,000 - R3,000/mo. Competitive niches like lawyers/plumbers need R5k+. My fee is separate: R800 once-off setup + R1,000/mo management. You set your own daily budget in your own account.
Leads start 24-48 hours after launch. I build Days 3-5, so first enquiries usually Day 6-7. Unlike SEO which takes 3-6 months, Google Ads is instant — you pay to be top.
You own 100%. I build in my MCC then transfer admin to your Gmail. You get full access to search terms, negative keywords, ad copy, conversion tracking. If you cancel, everything stays yours.
Google Ads = pay for instant top spot. SEO = free clicks but takes months. For emergency services (plumber, electrician, towing) Ads wins. Best combo: Ads for now, SEO for later.
No one can guarantee organic first page. With Google Ads you do guarantee top — because you pay for it. Position depends on bid + quality score + budget. Calculator is estimates only.
High-intent local services: plumbers, electricians, locksmiths, pest control, towing, cleaning, renovations, clinics, driving schools, and eCommerce with R500+ AOV. If people Google it when they need it urgently — Ads works.
