PPC Ad Budget & Google Ads Campaign Planner Calculator

Growth Marketing & Paid Media Planning: Engineering a PPC Budget

Rather than guessing ad spend, top performance marketing agencies engineer budgets backwards from revenue targets:

• Reverse Funnel Engineering: Start with your target monthly revenue goal \(\to\) divide by Average Order Value (AOV) to find required conversions \(\to\) divide by landing page conversion rate (CR) to calculate required traffic \(\to\) multiply by target CPC to establish exact required monthly budget.

• The 3 Key Levers to Double ROAS:

• Lower keyword CPC through negative keyword lists and high Google Quality Scores.

• Increase on-page conversion rate (CR) via high-converting landing pages.

• Boost Average Order Value (AOV) through post-purchase 1-click upsells and bundle discounts.

Accuracy Notes and Limitations

Attribution model choice significantly affects results. Compare against your own historical cohort data first. The accuracy of any calculator is limited by the quality of the inputs provided. Double-check your units before entering values — unit errors are the most common source of incorrect results. For critical decisions, cross-reference with at least one additional source or professional consultation.
