Most of the revenue comes from full-service moves with packing, office relocations, and antique transport. Wasted clicks come from people who just want a cheap van for an hour with no movers. A serious customer states the number of rooms and addresses right away and asks about insurance. Start by adding a move size calculator to your site and excluding searches like “cheap van rental by the hour”.

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.
Many people from your community live in Berlin, but they search for moving companies in German: only 40 searches a month in Russian and Ukrainian. Advertise in German and reach your community through groups and chats.
With the calculator's starting 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. You or your marketer set up the ads, and Igor and the team review and guide. Faster than learning from scratch, cheaper than an agency.
Agency. We run the ads for you: a one-time audit for 221 dollars, one-time setup for 684 dollars, management from 5,000 dollars; a specialist quotes the exact price after the review. Right when the budget lets you delegate.
The market is overheated: start with an audit of your current ads.
