What the ad accounts cost per lead

Search is a long game. Ads are where you find out inside a fortnight whether the money works. These are live accounts, pulled from the Google Ads and Meta APIs this morning.

An Auckland brake and clutch specialist: 76 enquiries at $21.57 each

One search campaign, Auckland only, brake repair terms. Over 90 days it spent $1,639.25 and produced 76 tracked conversions. That is $21.57 to generate an enquiry for a job worth several hundred dollars, at a click through rate comfortably above the Google search average.

What happened once I took the account over

Every chart below is Google Search Console data from a live client account.

An Auckland podiatry clinic went from page three of Google to page one, and five times the traffic

In April 2025 this clinic was averaging position 29, which is page three, and nobody goes to page three. Fifteen months later it sits inside the top six and pulls fourteen times the impressions it started with. The paid account is doing the same job on the other side, at a click through rate roughly double the search average.

A brand new coffee roastery pulled 1,628 clicks in its first eight weeks from a standing start

This site had no search history at all. Two months after launch it is at 81,592 impressions and 1,628 clicks, and the average position has tightened every week, from around 12.8 in late June to 8.5 by the last week of August. Getting a brand new domain onto page one that quickly is the hardest thing in search.

Jakob took the time to understand my business and help advise the best way and practices to implement CRM. Coming from Sugar CRM, Jakob's approach was refreshing.

Absolutely fantastic service that helped me with all the online aspects of my woodworking knick knack business. Jakob was very friendly and knowledgeable with any queries I had about my website build and helped give me the confidence to join the online marketplace as I wasn't too sure about it.
