Google Ads for Tampa businesses
Campaigns built around the local jobs you actually want.
I’m Stu, a New Zealand-based Google Ads specialist. I run campaigns for businesses across New Zealand and the United States, targeting the local searches that bring profitable work and blocking the ones that just burn budget, the difference between a click and a real customer.
I’m not based in Tampa, but Google Ads is managed entirely online, so distance is no barrier. You deal with the person running your campaigns, not a faceless agency or an account manager reading from a script.
Tampa is the heart of the fast-growing Tampa Bay region on Florida's Gulf Coast, with a thriving economy in finance, tech, tourism, healthcare and a construction and home-services sector booming alongside rapid population growth. From downtown and Hyde Park out through Ybor City and South Tampa to surrounding communities like St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Brandon and Wesley Chapel, customers search locally for services near them. In a fast-growing, competitive market, a sharp website and strong local SEO are what get you found first.

Plan your budget
How much should a Tampa business spend on Google Ads?
Enter a budget and a few assumptions to estimate the clicks, inquiries and cost per lead it could generate. This is your ad spend, separate from our fees. Figures in USD.
Rough estimates only. Real ad costs swing a lot by industry and competition, so treat every figure here as a ballpark to plan with, not a quote or a promise.
What you plan to spend on Google Ads each month, paid to Google.
Clicks vary a lot by industry and competition, often $5 to $20+. We’ve set a cautious default, adjust it to your market.
How often your ad gets clicked.
How many visitors become inquiries. This leans heavily on your website: a clean, fast, well-built site converts far better than a slow one.
We have been using Stu for our advertising campaigns for a number of months and could not recommend him enough! The communication has been excellent and the service delivered has really helped us to maintain and grow our business.
