Ask a questionContact BharatPeople
Is there a minimum budget for Google Ads in India?

Google lets you set your own daily budget. What matters is having enough budget to get meaningful clicks each day in your industry; check your expected CPC in Keyword Planner first.

Search or Performance Max: which should I start with?

Most beginners learn more from a Search campaign first, because you can see the exact keywords and control them. PMax works better once conversion tracking is reliable.

Why are my ads getting clicks but no leads?

Usually it's broad keywords, a weak landing page or missing tracking. Check your search terms report and landing page first.
