Google Ads for Vancouver 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 Canada, 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 Vancouver, 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.

Vancouver is one of Canada's largest and most competitive markets, a stunning West Coast metro with strengths in tech, film, tourism, real estate and a busy construction and home-services sector serving a dense, fast-growing population. From downtown and Kitsilano out through Mount Pleasant and East Vancouver to surrounding communities like Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey and North Vancouver, customers search locally for services near them. In a competitive, high-cost market, a sharp website and strong local SEO are what get you found first.

Plan your budget

How much should a Vancouver 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 CAD.

Why spending less can cost you more

Google Ads is a live auction, and your budget decides how often you can show up for the searches that matter. Set it too low and your ads stop showing partway through the day, the campaign never gathers enough data to optimise, and you win only the cheaper, lower-intent clicks. So you can spend less and still get worse value, paying for clicks that never turn into work. A budget with enough room to compete consistently is usually what turns Google Ads from a cost into a return, and for most trades that means starting from around $30 to $50 a day. We’ll help you set one that fits, and we’d rather tell you honestly that a budget is too low to work than watch it struggle.

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.

Clicks can range from a few dollars to $20 or more, and a modest local budget can put you in front of a steady flow of Vancouver searchers. Use the budget calculator above to estimate clicks, inquiries and cost per lead for your spend.

How quickly will Google Ads get my Vancouver business seen?

Fast. Unlike SEO, Google Ads can put your business at the top of the results in Vancouver the same day a campaign goes live, so you can start getting visibility and clicks within days. Inquiries and leads then build as we sharpen the campaign over the following weeks to lower your cost per lead.

Are you a Vancouver Google Ads agency?

We’re a New Zealand agency, not based in Vancouver, but we manage Google Ads for Vancouver businesses and campaigns are run entirely online. You get someone who knows which searches and jobs are worth bidding on, dealing with the person running your campaigns.

Which Vancouver areas do you cover?

All of Vancouver and across the Lower Mainland, from downtown and the West End to East Vancouver, Kitsilano and the west side, North and West Vancouver, Burnaby and New Westminster, Richmond, and out to Surrey and the Fraser Valley.

Can you target specific Vancouver areas with Google Ads?

Yes, and in a metro as large and competitive as Vancouver it matters. We can focus your ads on the exact areas you serve, whether that’s downtown and the West End, the North Shore, Richmond, Burnaby or out to Surrey and the Fraser Valley, so your budget goes to the searches from customers you can actually win, not the whole Lower Mainland at once.
