Advertising & marketing: say what exactly you’re looking for

Advertising and marketing services in New Zealand

Updated 11 November 2026

Advertising and marketing services in New Zealand usually start at about NZ$695 a month for Google Ads or SEO management, and full-service agencies often charge NZ$2,000 to NZ$4,000 a month. For a price that fits your business and budget, describe your goal in one request on BlaBlaPrice, and the providers that reply will quote their own terms.

Rules for what you publish

The Advertising Standards Code requires all advertising to be legal, decent, honest and truthful, and to treat rival businesses fairly, so any campaign you order should meet it. Property advertising has its own rules under the Real Estate Agents Act. Before an ad goes live, ask the provider how they check every claim, such as a price or a guarantee, against what your business can deliver.

Budget and seasons

Small businesses often set aside 5 to 12 percent of gross revenue for marketing, and digital advertisers suggest a minimum ad budget of about NZ$300 a month to start. The seasons are reversed here: summer runs from December to February and winter from June to August. Plan seasonal campaigns for the months your customers actually buy, not for the northern calendar.

What to write in your request

Name the service you need (Google Ads, social media, SEO, copywriting, printing or signs), your city, and the goal: calls, bookings, online sales or awareness. Name the city (Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton, Tauranga or another), say how much you can spend each month, and whether you already have a website and social accounts. Say whether you want a one-off project or a monthly contract, and ask whether the quoted price includes GST, because some quotes state it and some do not.

To get offers, describe the campaign or service once in the chat on the BlaBlaPrice home page. It is free for buyers. The AI asks for missing details such as your budget and goals, looks through providers' websites and price lists in New Zealand and shows the prices it finds. Providers registered on BlaBlaPrice receive your request and reply in the chat with their own offer and terms. Your contact details stay hidden until you choose whom to contact. For a specific service, you can also look at SEO or Marketing services. How BlaBlaPrice works.
