Google Ads runs on a pay-per-click (PPC) model, means you pay only when someone clicks on your ad.
Here is a list of Indusry specific how much you have to pay for a click/acquisition for your niche.
Bidding System Explained
When you create an ad, you bid on specific keywords. Your bid amount is what you’re willing to pay for one click.
The higher your Ad Rank, the better your chances of appearing at the top.
Even if your competitor bids higher, you can still rank above them with a better Quality Score.
Ad Rank = Maximum Bid × Quality Score
Better Quality Score = Better Ad Position
= Lower Cost per Click
If your competitor bids ₹30 but your Ad Rank is higher,
You might only pay around ₹25–₹28 for that click — not the full ₹30.
