Google AdWords Cost Australia

Google Ads Management Cost

In the SME sector, Google AdWords management cost in Australia ranges from $750 to $2,000+ per month. You may expect to pay higher if your Google Ads spend may be higher. The price is impacted by campaign planning, creation, reporting and more.

The monthly management fee can increase significantly if you would require a high-level data analysis to take the campaign to the next level.

General campaign building vs high-quality campaign planning

If you are just starting with a small budget then your management fee can be lower as you may not need top-level planning with market & competition research.

On the other hand, if you have a good marketing budget and need an ROI-driven Google Ads campaign powered by digital analytics and market research then the cost can increase significantly.

The cost to manage Google Ads in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane or in other cities in Australia is the same.

Google AdWords is designed using auction consideration, meaning each time a search is made, if your keyword will trigger with your specified cost then the bid will compete against your competition.

To determine the ad position, Google considers the bid amount and the quality score.

Google also allows you to set auto-bid and the system will bid for you based on your daily budget to fulfil your marketing objectives.

How to calculate the average CPC for keywords related to your business?

It is very easy to understand the factors which determine the AdWords cost.

• CPC: Google charges only when someone clicks on the Ad in Google search result or ads on the Google display network. Google allows you to control your cost per click and Google also has a keyword planner tool to find out about the average cost per click for your niche.
• The number of clicks: Once you will know your cost per click then you can set up the daily budget based on the number of clicks you would like to acquire on a daily basis.

How to calculate daily / monthly Google Ads Cost in Australia?

Once you know your average CPC (Cost per click) and then the number of clicks you would like to acquire per day then it is very easy to calculate your daily budget.

For example: let's say the average CPC is: $5 and you would like to get 20 clicks per day then your daily cost will be: $5 x 20 = $100.

Once you will know your daily budget then you can easily calculate your monthly AdWords spend. Just multiply your daily spend by 30.4 and you will get the monthly AdWords budget. Google considers 30.4 days in a month.

So, in this situation, your monthly budget will be $100 x 30.4 = $3,040.

Note: Google may use more than the allocated daily budget in some situations but it doesn't exceed the monthly spend. Meaning if Google may see more opportunities on a particular day then your ad will be shown more often which will return as a higher than allocated daily spend and when there will be fewer searches done then it may not use the full daily allocated budget, meaning the system tries to create a balance.
