How to Plan a Google Ads Budget

A Google Ads budget plan starts with your keyword data. Export your keyword list with estimated search volume and CPC from Google Keyword Planner, then model spend at different market share levels to find the right budget for your goals. Most PPC managers plan at three levels: conservative (10–15% market share), moderate (20–30%), and aggressive (40%+).

What Is a Realistic Google Ads Budget?

A realistic Google Ads budget depends on your industry CPC, target keywords, and the market share you want to capture. Use your average CPC from Keyword Planner and your target click volume to calculate a starting daily budget. Then scale based on performance data over the first 30–60 days.

Microsoft Ads typically has 20–40% lower CPCs than Google Ads for the same keywords, making it a cost-effective complement to Google campaigns. This tool supports budget modeling for both platforms so you can plan total paid search spend across channels.
