We engaged Phil and the team to create a website initially, and then an online store. Throughout the process they have been fantastic to work with, great communication and quick to make any changes we requested. I would highly recommend Back 9 if you are looking to move into the digital space.

Back 9 have just taken us through a complete brand change and found them excellent to deal with. They are down to earth and happy to spend the time taking some of the not so digitally literate through the process. We were keen to spend the money locally and was good to ring the right team to do that with. And means we can concentrate on doing what we do best while they look after the stuff we have little understanding of.

Phil and his team have just finished our new website and WOW we are ecstatic with the results. The team were responsive and professional - they took our ideas and then designed a user friendly site that zings! Every interaction we have with them was responded to immediately and efficiently. The team are genuinely interested and excited about the work they are doing for us and were such fun to work with!

Do Google Ads Even Work? Well, Yes. Yes They Do...

Don’t just advertise. Connect with your audience. You’re not just getting your name out there—you’re putting your business directly in front of people actively seeking what you offer.

So, do Google ads work?

The short answer is Yes. Google Ads work bloody well – BUT… That’s if campaigns are set up and managed correctly! That’s where Back9 comes in – we know what works! Your business can be very successful with expert Google Ads management.

PPC is actually a form of search engine marketing that uses non-intrusive methods to help users with their queries, providing helpful and relevant results. The consumers attitude changes when the content provides useful information instead of an interruption!

Want to get to the top of search results?

Google Ads determines which ads to show and where to place them using a combination of your bid amount and ad quality. This system rewards relevant, high-quality ads by potentially giving them better positions, even if they’re not the highest bid. By balancing these factors, Google aims to display ads that are most useful to searchers, benefiting both advertisers and users. Essentially, it’s not just about how much you spend, but also how well your ad matches what people are looking for.

How much do these ads cost?

What do google ads cost? Well, The cost depends on a number of factors. Perhaps most important though is the amount of competition in the area for your industry. The more competitive a keyword is, the higher the cost (as more people want them).
It’s simple Supply and demand, firsthand.

But what about if you don’t have as much to spend on ads as companies like Adidas or Amazon?

Google Ads offers a flexible approach to budgeting. While higher spending typically yields more results, you don’t need a massive budget to see impact. For small businesses new to Ads, we suggest starting with a monthly ad spend of $500-$600. This initial investment allows you to test the waters and gauge effectiveness. Remember, though, that well-managed campaigns often deliver returns that grow proportionally with your investment. So as you become more comfortable and see positive results, scaling up can lead to even greater rewards.

What about management fees?

In regards to fees, you should expect to pay anywhere from $500-$1000 + GST per month. That’s on top of the ad spend. Something else to note is that Google also charges GST in New Zealand, so this means you can also claim that back too.

There are several ways to maximise your budget usage and can use different payment models depending on what’s important to you. If you want people to click on your ad, for instance, a pay-per-click model is great for that. Other options include pay-per-conversion, impression, and more. You can leave all that technical stuff to the experts at Back9 and you’ll enjoy all the rewards!

You may be asking “Can I manage Google Ads myself?” Well, the short answer is sure. But would you service your own car or change and rotate your own tyres? No matter your business size, having your campaigns managed by certified professionals will help get better results.

The platform has dozens of settings that might be affecting what kind of ads work best and the price – but thankfully we’re experts in this area too so we make sure your ads are optimised within our set Google Ads Management fees.
