The average spend on Google Ads can range from $9,000 – $30,000 per month. That may seem high but consider that this covers all industries and budgets. From mum & dad hardware stores running a single campaign, to international fashion chains who advertise constantly.

We recommend a minimum ad spend of $1,000 per month, not including creative, set-up and management costs.
