Question 1

Does Google Ads work in Albania?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Geographic targeting for Albania and its cities works fully, ads serve normally, and clicks cost significantly less than in Western markets. What does not work is copying a standard campaign setup from other markets, because Albanian has a special status on the platform and needs precise configuration.

Question 2

Can I run ads with Albanian keywords?

Accepted Answer

Yes, completely. Ad copy can be written in Albanian and Albanian keywords match real searches normally. The catch is targeting: Google removed Albanian from its supported ad languages in 2012, so campaigns must target "all languages" and rely on geographic limits instead. It is exactly the kind of detail a badly built campaign pays for dearly.

Question 3

How much does Google Ads cost in Albania?

Accepted Answer

Average cost per click in Albania typically runs from 0.10 to 0.70 dollars depending on the sector, far below Western Europe or the US. With an ad budget of 300 to 500 euros per month, most service businesses get enough traffic to measure exactly how many clients the channel brings.

Question 4

Are Local Services Ads (LSA) available in Albania?

Accepted Answer

No. Local Services Ads are only available in the US, Canada, the UK, Australia and parts of Western Europe. The local alternative is an optimized Google Business Profile combined with search campaigns using location assets, which puts you both on the map results and in the paid results.

Question 5

What about Google Shopping for online stores?

Accepted Answer

Google Merchant Center does not support Albania as a country of sale, so classic Shopping campaigns are not an option for stores selling domestically. For online stores we run search campaigns, Performance Max and remarketing, which cover the same goal: being found at the moment someone searches for your product.

Question 6

How fast do results show?

Accepted Answer

Unlike SEO, ads start showing on day one. The first weeks are for collecting data and cleaning up keywords; after 4 to 6 weeks a campaign usually reaches a stable cost per client. That is why we report monthly with numbers, not impressions.
