Will your budget cover realtors in Berlin?
≈ 112 clicks and 0.7–19 inquiries at €149 each
A €500 budget suggests 3.4 inquiries in Berlin.
Budget to reach 30 inquiries a month: about €4,460. 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 12 inquiries a month at 50% impression share.
Assumptions: click price from 12 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
The click is near the Germany median: a normal market, no overpayment. Follow the calculator estimate and the 30-inquiries-a-month rule.
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.
With your budget, starting with training or mentorship makes more sense.
