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”.

A click costs 4% less than the US average. Use the calculator estimate and the 30-inquiries-a-month rule.
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.
This is a region page: numbers are calculated for the whole region, not a single city. Demand and prices vary inside it; see the individual city pages below.
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.
If your budget is under $5,802 a month, start with training or mentorship.
