Google Ads Campaigns

Google Ads is the most powerful tool for reaching customers at the exact moment they are searching for your services or products. Our team in Sarajevo creates and optimises campaigns that deliver real results for the Bosnian and international markets.

Every campaign starts with thorough keyword analysis and an understanding of your target audience. We install conversion tracking on day one — so you always know the true cost of each enquiry or sale. Budget is optimised daily, with nothing wasted on irrelevant clicks.

Through transparent monthly reporting you can see your exact ROI and how results compare to the previous period. We work with private companies, e-commerce stores, hotels, clinics and public institutions across Bosnia and Herzegovina.

As an agency that knows the local market, we understand how users behave in Sarajevo, Banja Luka, Mostar and the rest of BiH. That local knowledge directly shapes campaign structure and keyword selection.

Google Ads results are visible quickly — sometimes on day one. Unlike SEO, which builds long-term organic traffic, Ads drives immediate traffic that you can control and scale in line with business demand.

How Google Ads actually brings in customers

Google Ads is the only channel where your ad appears at the exact moment a buyer is searching for what you sell. Someone types “air conditioner price” or “dental implants Sarajevo” — and your ad is the first result. It is not an interruption, it is an answer.

That makes Google Ads the fastest route to enquiries and orders, and also the easiest way to burn a budget. The difference lies in campaign structure, keyword choice, the quality of the landing page and whether anything after the click is measured.

  • Search — text ads on results pages, for buyers ready to act
  • Performance Max — one budget across Search, YouTube, Display, Gmail and Maps
  • Shopping — products with image and price for online stores
  • YouTube — video ads for reach and recall
  • Display and remarketing — bringing back people who already visited

What separates a good Google Ads campaign from an expensive one

A good campaign is measured by cost per enquiry or order, not by clicks. We set up conversion tracking first (Google Tag, GA4, calls, forms, WhatsApp, store purchases) and only then release budget. Without it, the algorithm learns from the wrong signals.

Second is search intent. “Implants price Sarajevo” and “what are implants” are different audiences: one buys, the other reads. Negative keywords and tight ad groups often save a third of the budget in the first month.

Third is the page. The ad makes a promise and the landing page must keep it within three seconds: a clear offer, a price or range, proof and one button. That is why we often build campaigns and pages together.

How much budget Google Ads needs

Clicks in Bosnia and Herzegovina are still cheaper than in the EU, but competitive niches (real estate, healthcare, automotive, tourism) climb quickly. We work the budget backwards: what one customer is worth, how many enquiries you need a month and a realistic conversion rate.

For a local business the first month is a learning month. From month two we optimise on data: switch off what brings nothing and push what works. Every month you get a report with enquiries, cost per enquiry and a recommendation for the next month.

FAQ

How much does Google Ads management cost?

The cost has two parts: an agency management fee and the advertising budget paid directly to Google. The management fee depends on campaign volume, while you set the advertising budget. After analysing your industry and competition, we recommend a minimum budget that delivers measurable results.

How much budget do I need to start?

The minimum recommended monthly advertising budget for Google Ads in BiH starts at around 150–250 EUR, depending on the industry and competition. Smaller budgets are possible but results may be limited. We provide a concrete recommendation after our first meeting.

When can I expect the first results?

Unlike SEO, Google Ads delivers results almost immediately — you can receive the first enquiries on the day the campaign goes live. The first 30 days is a learning and optimisation period; from the second month campaigns are typically significantly more efficient.

What is the difference between Google Ads and SEO?

Google Ads is paid advertising that delivers instant results for as long as the budget runs. SEO is organic optimisation that builds long-term visibility without paying per click. We recommend combining both for maximum impact — Ads for quick wins, SEO for lasting growth.

Does BIHMARKETING set up conversion tracking?

Yes. Setting up conversion tracking (calls, form fills, purchases) is a standard part of our service. Without measuring conversions there is no point running a campaign, because you cannot tell what is actually driving business results.

Do we receive campaign reports?

Yes. Every month you receive a detailed report with key metrics: clicks, cost per click, conversions, cost per conversion, spend and recommendations for the next period. Reports are clear and free of technical jargon.

Do you run Google Ads for the whole of Bosnia and Herzegovina?

Yes. We work with clients from across BiH — Sarajevo, Banja Luka, Tuzla, Mostar and other cities. Campaigns can be targeted locally (one city), regionally or across all of BiH, depending on your business goals.

How quickly does Google Ads deliver results?

First enquiries usually arrive in week one. A stable cost per enquiry comes after 4–8 weeks, once the algorithm has enough conversion data.

Is Google Ads or SEO better?

Google Ads works immediately, SEO builds free traffic over time. The best results come from both: ads cover the months while SEO grows, and ad data shows which phrases are worth ranking for.

Who owns the Google Ads account?

You do. The account and data are opened in your company's name and we get agency access. If we ever stop working together, everything stays with you.
