Trusted by business owners
"Since being with lucid and then tidying up our landing pages, and Google ads + getting new leads running our CPA dropped by 66% and lead quality increased 2-300%."
Paul ZellmanAustar Property Services
"Very happy with our experience with Jason - felt he was really acting in our best interests and went beyond what we were expecting him to achieve."
"Any time we’ve needed changes or seen something in the data, he’s on it straight away and is always looking for ways to improve performance rather than just letting campaigns run."
Tyler NewmanGoogle review "Jason helped us build out an automated quote funnel and GoHighLevel workflow for TrueHectare, and the technical execution was second to none."
Daniel SchweizerTrueHectare "Everything was turned around in less than 24 hours. After the frustration we had experienced with the previous digital company, seeing results that quickly was honestly incredible."
Ratu TauTrekway Shuttle "He has helped us set up and improve our marketing campaigns, GoHighLevel system, website and wider digital setup… the level of communication, accountability and results we have received from Jason has made us realise we should have made the move much earlier."
Aamir SethiGoogle review Frequently Asked Questions About Paid Ads in New Zealand
How much does a paid ads agency cost in New Zealand?
Our management fee is a flat monthly rate, never a percentage of your ad spend, so the fee does not grow just because your budget does. Ad spend is separate and billed directly to your Google or Meta account; $1,500-3,000 a month is typical for local service businesses (an indicative market benchmark, not our price). Our cost page sets out what working with us costs, and your proposal confirms the exact numbers before you commit.
How much should I spend on paid ads in New Zealand?
We recommend an indicative starting range of $1,500-3,000 a month in ad spend for New Zealand campaigns to gather enough data for optimisation. However, the ideal budget depends on your industry, goals, and competition.
How long until I see results from paid advertising?
Leads typically start arriving in the first fortnight once your campaigns go live. From there, the campaign is held to a clear target: 30 qualified leads within your first 30 days. If we do not deliver, you get your management fee back.
Should I use Facebook Ads or Google Ads?
It depends on your business. Google Ads captures people actively searching for your service, making it great for trades and professional services. Facebook Ads builds awareness and reaches people who fit your ideal customer profile. For most New Zealand businesses, we recommend using both strategically.
Do you manage the ad creative and copywriting?
Yes, our service includes full creative development. We write the ad copy, design the visuals, and create multiple variations for A/B testing. You'll approve everything before it goes live.
What's included in your management fee?
Our management fee covers campaign strategy, ad creative, audience targeting, daily optimisation, conversion tracking setup, and weekly performance reports. Ad spend is billed separately direct to your ad account.
Can I pause or cancel my campaigns?
Absolutely. We don't lock you into long-term contracts. You can pause, adjust, or cancel your campaigns with 30 days notice. We believe in earning your business through results, not contracts.
What is the difference between a PPC agency and a lead generation agency?
A PPC agency manages your campaigns and reports on clicks, impressions, and cost per click; what happens after the click is usually your problem. We treat paid ads as one part of a lead generation system: the same team builds the landing pages, runs the Google and Facebook campaigns, and can even phone-qualify every enquiry within 10 minutes. Because we are measured on qualified leads rather than traffic, we can put a guarantee on the outcome: 30 qualified leads in your first 30 days or your management fee back.
Do you work with businesses anywhere in New Zealand?
Yes, we manage campaigns for local service businesses across New Zealand, from Auckland and Hamilton through to Christchurch and Invercargill. Google and Facebook targeting is set at the suburb and region level, so campaigns only reach the areas you actually service. Everything runs under your own brand, every enquiry can be phone-verified within 10 minutes if you want, and your leads are exclusive: we never resell an enquiry to another business in your area.
