Hi, I'm Terris. I'm a web designer in Singapore, full-time since 2018, and I run your Google Ads myself.

Get Google Ads in Singapore built to bring more leads per dollar

I set up the campaigns and write the ads, then keep optimising them and track every lead they bring in, so more of your budget goes to the searches that turn into customers. Management is SGD 2,500 a month, flat, for ad budgets up to SGD 10,000, and that includes the website your ads land on. Your ad budget goes straight to Google.

What Google Ads management includes every month

Running Google Ads properly comes down to four jobs, and I do all four myself every month. The website your ads land on is part of the same job, so the page and the ads get tuned together by the person who built both.

  1. Set up

    • Campaigns built around the searches that mean someone wants to buy
    • Negative keywords from day one, so junk searches don't spend your budget
    • Locations, hours and devices set for how your customers search
    • Tracking in place before the first paid click
  2. Write

    • Headlines and descriptions written for each group of searches
    • Call, location, sitelink and callout assets on every campaign
    • Ads that promise what the page they open delivers
  3. Optimise

    • I read the search terms and block the ones that never turn into enquiries
    • Budget moves to the campaigns and keywords that bring enquiries
    • New versions of each ad tested against the ones running
    • The landing page changed when it's the weak link
  4. Track

    • Every call, form and WhatsApp click counted as a conversion
    • Google Ads and Google Analytics see the same enquiries
    • So you can see what each enquiry costs you

The website your ads land on

I build the website your ads send people to and keep it maintained. When the numbers say a page is losing people, I change it myself, so there's no designer or developer to brief first.

I'll WhatsApp you an update on the results whenever you ask: how many enquiries came in, what each one cost and what I'm changing next.

Where Google Ads budgets usually leak, and what I do about each

If you've run ads before and watched the money go with little to show for it, it was usually one of these six.

Six common ways a Google Ads budget gets wasted, and what I do about each
Where the money goes What I do about it
Broad keywords Broad keywords bring clicks from people who were never going to buy. I start with the searches that mean someone wants your service now, and widen only when those pay off.
No negative keywords Without a negative keyword list, the budget pays for searches that have nothing to do with you. I keep reading the search terms and block the irrelevant ones, so the same budget reaches more of the right people.
Broken tracking Conversion tracking is missing, broken or counting the wrong thing, so nobody knows what works. I set up tracking on every call, form and WhatsApp click before the ads go live, and test each one.
The wrong page The ads send people to a slow homepage that doesn't answer what they searched for. The ads land on a page that answers the search. I built it, so I change it myself when the numbers say so.
Automation with nothing to learn from Google's automated bidding gets switched on with no real conversions to learn from. I give the bidding real enquiries to learn from and set limits on what it can spend.
Counting clicks Results get measured in clicks and traffic instead of enquiries. I count enquiries and what each one costs you, and those are the numbers I send you.

At an agency, a new landing page for your ads passes from an account manager to a designer to a developer. With me, it's one message to the person who built your site.

What Google Ads management costs

Google Ads with me is SGD 2,500 a month, flat, for ad budgets up to SGD 10,000 a month, and it covers the website your ads land on as well as the ads. Above that budget, my fee is 20% of your ad spend. Your ad budget is separate and goes to Google directly.

My monthly fee at different ad budgets
Your ad budget, paid to Google My fee How it's worked out
Up to SGD 10,000 a month SGD 2,500 Flat fee for ad budgets up to SGD 10,000/month
SGD 15,000 a month SGD 3,000 20% of ad spend, for budgets over SGD 10,000/month
SGD 25,000 a month SGD 5,000 20% of ad spend, for budgets over SGD 10,000/month

For comparison, managing Google Ads on its own usually costs SGD 500 to 1,500 a month with a freelancer and SGD 1,000 to 3,000 at a small agency, or 15 to 20% of ad spend, with the website left to someone else.

How Google Ads management works

It all runs on WhatsApp, from your first message to the updates once your ads are live.

Message me to get started
  1. You message me

    Tell me what you sell, where your customers are and roughly what a new customer is worth to you. Send your website if you have one.

  2. I look before I quote

    I check what people search for in your trade and look at the page your ads would land on. Then I reply with a starting ad budget and what I'd set up first.

  3. I build the page and the tracking

    I build or rework the page your ads land on and set up tracking on every call, form and WhatsApp click, so the first paid click is already counted.

  4. The ads go live

    Google reviews new ads before they run, which usually takes about a day. The first few weeks show which searches turn into enquiries.

  5. I keep optimising

    I keep cutting the searches that waste money, testing new ads and improving the page. I'll WhatsApp you an update on the results whenever you ask.

Questions people ask about Google Ads

How much does Google Ads management cost in Singapore?

Google Ads management in Singapore usually costs SGD 500 to 1,500 a month with a freelancer, SGD 1,000 to 3,000 at a small agency, or 15 to 20% of ad spend, on top of the ad budget itself. Mine is SGD 2,500 a month, flat, for ad budgets up to SGD 10,000, and it includes the website your ads land on. Above that budget it's 20% of ad spend.

How much should I spend on Google Ads in Singapore?

Most small businesses in Singapore start with SGD 1,000 to 3,000 a month in ad spend, paid to Google, and adjust once they know what an enquiry costs. Clicks cost anywhere from under SGD 1 to over SGD 15 depending on the trade. Aim for at least 500 clicks a month, which at SGD 3 a click is SGD 1,500. I'll suggest a starting budget for your trade before you spend anything.

Do you build the website too, or only run the ads?

I do both. Website and Google Ads, managed, covers the website your ads land on as well as the campaigns, for SGD 2,500 a month. I build the site, keep it maintained and change its pages when the numbers say the page is the weak link, so the ads and the page get tuned together by one person.

I already have a website. Can you just run the ads?

Yes, if the page your ads would land on is ready for them. Send me the site on WhatsApp and I'll look at it first. If it's ready, I'll quote the ads on their own. If it isn't, fixing the page comes first, because ads sent to a weak page pay for clicks that never turn into enquiries.

Are you a Google Ads agency?

No. I'm one person in Singapore, working full-time for 8 years now with 290+ projects behind me. There's no account manager between us. I set up your campaigns, write the ads, build the page they land on and answer your WhatsApp myself, so you always talk to the person doing the work.

Is Google Ads worth it for a small business in Singapore?

It is when people already search for what you sell and a customer is worth more than the clicks it takes to find one. I set up the campaigns, write the ads, keep optimising them and track every lead they bring in, so you can see what each enquiry costs you. It's SGD 2,500 a month for the ads and the website together, and your ad budget goes straight to Google.

How soon will Google Ads bring in enquiries?

Google Ads can bring enquiries within days of going live, because ads start showing once Google approves them, which usually takes about a day. The first few weeks show which searches turn into enquiries and which only cost money, and most of the early work is cutting the second kind.

How will I know if my Google Ads are working?

Every call, form and WhatsApp click from your ads is tracked as a conversion, so the numbers show how many enquiries the ads brought in and what each one cost. I'll WhatsApp you an update on the results whenever you ask, with what I'm changing next.

Should I start with Google Ads or SEO?

Start with Google Ads if you need enquiries this month. Ads can bring them within days, but they stop when you stop paying. SEO takes months to build and keeps bringing visitors without paying per click. The two work well together, because the searches that turn into enquiries in your ads tell me which pages to write for SEO. SEO with me starts at SGD 2,500 a month.

Where does my ad budget go?

Your ad budget goes to Google directly and never passes through me. My fee is separate, at SGD 2,500 a month, flat, for ad budgets up to SGD 10,000 a month, and 20% of ad spend above that. So a bigger budget never raises my fee until it passes SGD 10,000.

What happens if I stop running Google Ads?

Your ads stop showing as soon as the campaigns are paused, and the clicks and enquiries from them stop too. The account keeps its history, so if you restart later the campaigns don't begin from nothing. That's the main difference from SEO, where pages you've built keep bringing visitors.

Which kinds of Google Ads campaigns do you run?

Search ads are where most budgets should start, because they show to people who are searching for what you sell. I also run Display, Shopping, YouTube and remarketing campaigns when they suit the business, and each has its own page further down.
