The Challenge

The Challenge

Commercial cleaning is a competitive local service. When an Auckland business needs a new cleaning provider, the search usually starts on Google, and the providers that appear, and make it easy to enquire, win the conversation.

NZ Service needed a Google Ads approach that did more than buy traffic. The campaign needed to:

  • Reach businesses actively looking for commercial cleaning
  • Increase visibility for relevant Auckland searches
  • Drive qualified visitors to the website
  • Turn search intent into enquiries
  • Make lead generation more measurable
Our Approach

The Google Ads Strategy

A focused search strategy built around one goal: connecting businesses that need commercial cleaning with a clear way to enquire.

01

Capture High-Intent Searches

Google Search Ads were used to reach people actively searching for commercial cleaning services, at the moment they were looking for a provider.

02

Focus on Commercial Intent

Messaging was aligned around commercial cleaning, office cleaning and business-focused services, prioritising relevant business searches over generic traffic.

03

Align Ads With the Landing Experience

Ad messaging and website content were aligned around NZ Service's commercial cleaning proposition, services, trust signals and free quote call to action.

04

Measure Enquiries

Tracking measurable actions such as calls, website enquiries/forms and Google Ads conversions made it possible to judge the campaign on enquiries, not just clicks.

Performance Improvement

Previous comparison period vs current reporting period

Search visibility and qualified traffic increased during the campaign period, and tracked Google Ads conversions increased from the previous comparison period.

Derived comparison values based on the change figures shown in the Google Ads report. Previous-period values were calculated by subtracting the reported change from the current figure (e.g. 99 − 39 = 60 clicks) and are not independently verified. Bars are scaled within each metric.

Industry Benchmarks

Benchmarks: WordStream Google Ads Benchmarks 2026 (median figures from US search campaigns, April 2025 – March 2026). NZ Service rates are calculated from the rounded figures in the supplied Google Ads report (99 clicks, 1.25K impressions, 9 tracked conversions) and reflect a small sample, so they should be read as indicative. Benchmark comparisons are directional only; market, currency and campaign differences apply.

Lead Generation Journey

More Visibility. More Opportunities to Enquire.

The objective was never simply to generate clicks. It was to connect commercial search intent with real business enquiries.

Each stage of the journey was considered: showing up for relevant searches, earning the click with relevant messaging, landing visitors on content that matches what they searched for, and giving them clear ways to get in touch by phone, email or the website.

Google Ads became an important source of measurable commercial enquiries, alongside the enquiries NZ Service already receives through phone, email and other channels.
