Steady income comes from commercial freight shipments, household moves across the border, and regular passenger routes. Empty clicks come from people wanting to send a small parcel with a fellow traveler for almost nothing. A real customer specifies cargo dimensions or passenger count, asks about customs clearance, and books a departure date. First, publish route schedules and clear baggage allowance policies on your site, and exclude queries like “send a parcel with a traveler”.

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 Gdansk than in half of the cities in Poland. Your first market is your own community, and a separate campaign in Russian and Ukrainian can bring inquiries from the start.
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.
