Google Ads Calculator
This calculator will help you evaluate how well your current ad campaigns are working and estimate what it will cost to generate a specific number of new customers through Google Search Ads. It will then give you personalized recommendations, based on your data, for how to improve your results.
IMPORTANT: This calculator and associated recommendation only applies to Google Search Ads.
Instructions
STEP 1 - Enter Your Estimated Inputs
In the Estimated Inputs section, enter this information:
- The estimated or current average cost per click (CPC). If you don't know this, use Google's Keyword Planner tool to see the data for your service area.
- The expected or current click-through rate (CTR) for your ads.
- Your Google Ads conversion rate.
- The average percent of leads you turn into paying customers (your average close rate).
- The average price of your services. This can vary considerably based on the type of job (e.g., hazard tree removal vs PHC treatment for a single tree), so you have two options here:
- 1 - Go with an overall average
- 2 - Focus on one type of service AND then revise the CPC, CTR, and conversion rate entries to reflect the ad campaign you're running specifically for that service.
- The number of leads you want to acquire through your Ads campaign.
If you're not sure of the CTR and landing page conversion rate, use the default values (.8% and 4%) as these are typical for tree service campaigns that haven't been fully optimized.
STEP 2 - Look at the Results Section
As you add the numbers into the inputs section, you'll see the number of clicks and ad views (impressions) needed to acquire your desired number of leads. You'll also see how much it will cost you to acquire one new lead through your Ads campaign, as well as your total required budget.
Try changing the CTR and landing page conversion rate to see the impact on your acquisition costs and total budget.
STEP 3 - Click the 'Get Recommendations' Button
This will generate recommendations specific to the inputs you've entered and the corresponding results. It will give you ideas for how to improve the effectiveness of your Google Ads campaigns (for example, by reducing CPC, increasing conversion rates, and decreasing your cost per new customer).
