01What a click costs, country by country
The range advertisers bid to show at the top of Google, Google's 20th to 80th percentile, for the searches below, in each country's own currency. A click usually costs less than the high end.
| Country | Searches a month | Top of page, low | Top of page, high |
|---|---|---|---|
| United States | 66,300 | $5.46 | $19.29 |
| Canada | 7,500 | CA$3.33 | CA$13.95 |
| Australia | 8,020 | A$4.53 | A$12.01 |

02What customers type, and what to block
Google measured the three searches a customer of a tutoring service types when ready to hire:
tutoring near me · math tutor · tutoring services
Searches with these words in them cost the same and rarely become a client, so block them from the first day:
tutoring jobs · become a tutor · tutor salary · free tutoring · answers · solver
03What a budget buys
In the United States, at $5.46 to $19.29 a click, and if 5 in a hundred clicks become an enquiry:
| Budget | A month | Clicks a month | Enquiries a month |
|---|---|---|---|
| $10 a day | $304 | 16 to 56 | 1 to 3 |
| $30 a day | $912 | 47 to 167 | 2 to 8 |
| $100 a day | $3,040 | 158 to 557 | 8 to 28 |
| $300 a day | $9,120 | 473 to 1,670 | 24 to 84 |

04What works for tutoring services
A good enquiry: a parent in your area looking for help in a subject, for a test or for the school year.
- Spend when parents worry. The start of the school year, report cards and the weeks before exams are when the budget works hardest.
- Name the subject and the level. An ad that says "grade 10 math" answers a parent who searched for it.
- Block the students. "Answers" and "solver" are homework searches, not parents hiring.

It depends on how many new clients a month you can take and what one is worth. As a yardstick, a hundred clicks a month at the top of the range costs about $1,929 in the United States; if 5 in a hundred become enquiries, that is about 5 enquiries. Adducta's free plan works it out for your area and budget, and says if the budget is too thin.
What should a lead cost a tutoring service?
If 5 in a hundred clicks become an enquiry, about $109 to $386 an enquiry at the top-of-page range in the United States. Blocking the wrong searches, and a landing page that answers the first question, move it toward the low end.
Which searches should tutoring services block?
Searches with these words in them cost the same and rarely become a client: tutoring jobs, become a tutor, tutor salary, free tutoring, answers and solver. Adducta's plan lists the searches to block before anything is spent, and the agent adds to the list every day from the searches that come in.
06Let an agent run it
Adducta's agent writes the plan for a tutoring service's ads from six questions: the searches to buy and block, what the ads say, and what a lead should cost in your area. Write my plan is free, needs no account and no card, and nothing is spent until you approve it.
