How Much Should You Spend on Google Ads?

A formula that's better than the usual 'it depends'.

Start with cost-per-lead and work backwards. Don't pick a budget out of thin air.

Step 1

Estimate cost-per-click in your niche (Google's Keyword Planner is fine for this).

Step 2

Assume 3-8% landing page conversion. That gives you cost-per-lead.

Step 3

Multiply by the number of leads you can actually handle weekly.

The bottom line

If the maths doesn't work at small scale, it won't work at big scale either.
