In accounting advertising, paying clients come from queries for full business bookkeeping, corporate tax preparation, and annual financial reporting. Empty clicks stem from searches for free templates or student questions, while genuine inquiries specify company structure and monthly document volume. First, review your negative keyword list to eliminate job seekers and DIY accounting searches.

Will your budget cover accountants in Berlin?
≈ 87 clicks and 1.0–7.8 inquiries at €191 each
A €500 budget suggests 2.6 inquiries in Berlin.
Budget to reach 30 inquiries a month: about €5,740. This is a rule of thumb from Igor Ivitskiy's practice, not a measurement: with 30 inquiries, Google's automated strategies learn more steadily.
Ceiling for Berlin based on measured queries: about 8.9 inquiries a month at 50% impression share.
Assumptions: click price from 15 Google Ads query groups, September 25, 2026; 3 inquiries per 100 clicks (a niche estimate, not a measurement); demand shown as the lower bound.
What this means for you
Both competition and click prices are high: the market is overheated. A from-scratch launch burns budget fast; starting with an audit or mentorship and fixing mistakes first is wiser.
There are more people from your community in Berlin than in half of the cities in Germany. Your first market is your own community, and a separate campaign in Russian and Ukrainian can bring inquiries from the start.
With the default budget you get fewer than 30 inquiries: Google's automated strategies learn slowly. Check the «budget to 30 inquiries» scenario or start with training.
Three paths, the choice depends on your budget
On your own, with training. The «Magic of Google» course, 300 to 800 euros: set everything up yourself with lessons and typical-mistake reviews. Good when the budget is small but you have time.
With a mentor. Your marketer sets up the ads, Igor and the team review and guide. Faster than learning from scratch, cheaper than an agency.
Agency. The agency runs the ads for you: audit 221 dollars, setup 684 dollars, management from 5,000 dollars. Right when the budget lets you delegate.
The market is overheated: start with an audit of your current ads.
