Frequently asked
Google Ads Management in Johannesburg — answers.
Common questions about pricing, timelines, what's included, and how we work with Johannesburg businesses.
What does Google Ads management cost in Johannesburg?
Our management fee starts at R3,500/month for an ad spend up to R10,000/month. For larger budgets we drop to a percentage-of-spend model (typically 12-15%). Ad spend is paid directly to Google.
How much should I spend on Google Ads in Johannesburg?
For most Johannesburg local businesses, R5,000-R15,000/month is the right starting range. Service businesses with high lifetime value can profitably spend much more. We'll recommend a starting budget after the audit.
How fast will I see results?
Google Ads delivers traffic from day one. Conversions usually start within the first 1-2 weeks. Profitability typically arrives between weeks 4-8 as we optimise based on real data.
Do you do Facebook + Instagram ads too?
Yes — we run Meta Ads (Facebook + Instagram) and TikTok Ads as separate retainers. Many clients run Google + Meta together for full-funnel coverage in Johannesburg.
Is there a contract?
No long-term contract. Month-to-month with 30 days notice. We earn your business every month.
