Google Ads Budget Calculator

Before you spend a dollar on ads, know your real numbers.

What does one booked job actually cost you from paid clicks?

Enter your own numbers and see the clicks you need, what you will spend, your cost per booked job and the click price where ads stop paying. This is step one. Steps two to four, the campaign and landing page, the tracking and the follow-up that closes the leads, are where most local businesses lose the money.

What changes the math

The four steps, and where you stand

  1. Know your numbers. You just did.
  2. Campaign and landing page. Match each search to a page built to turn the click into a call. This drives the website conversion rate above.
  3. Tracking. Count calls and forms as real conversions, so you spend on what books jobs.
  4. Follow-up and optimization. Answer every lead fast, follow up until they book, and keep tuning. This drives the close rate above.

What we cover on the call

  • Your numbers, and which lever moves your cost per job the most
  • The campaign and landing page, and what they need to do to turn clicks into calls
  • Tracking, so your calls and forms are counted as real conversions
  • Follow-up, so more of your leads become booked jobs
  • Fit. Whether we are the right team for your business

These figures are calculated only from the numbers you enter. They are not a forecast or a promise of results.
