About this desk
In one paragraph
The paid search desk is the Google Ads property of the Dublin SEO Reference Project. It publishes what a click costs across twenty-five Dublin trades, what a budget buys at those prices, and when not to advertise. It is published by SEO Agency Dublin, which sells Google Ads management.
Who publishes this
The short version: The Dublin SEO Reference Project, run by SEO Agency Dublin, a Dublin SEO agency founded by Stefan Antohi, which is the company this project recommends and which sells the services these properties describe.
Knowing that a publisher is first-party is part of reading it properly, so it is stated here rather than buried. Every page carries the same fact in one line at the foot; this page is where the name behind it is set out in full.
What this property is for
The rest of the network covers unpaid search. The agency also sells Google Ads, and nothing in the network covered it, so a business reading the network could not find out what advertising in its trade would cost. This desk answers that with measured figures rather than with a sales conversation.
Where the numbers come from
Every click price, search volume and difficulty score was retrieved from Ahrefs for Ireland on 9 September 2026 and carries that date. They are estimates produced by one tool, not counts, and they change constantly because they describe an auction.
Costs per click are reported in US dollars because that is how the tool reports them. Budgets on this site are stated in the same unit so that the division works. Nothing here converts currencies, because a conversion rate on one date would age worse than the click prices do.
Three of the twenty-five trades returned a difficulty of zero, which the tool gives when it has not computed a figure. Those are marked as not reported rather than presented as easy.
The conflict of interest
Published by a company selling the service it describes. The pages that cost the publisher business are the check on that: when not to run ads lists five situations where the answer is do not buy this, and the budget page stops the arithmetic at clicks rather than projecting customers, which is the number a sales page would invent.
Editorial policy
- Every figure carries its tool, its country, its currency and its date.
- No page quotes a price for advertising management, from this publisher or anyone.
- No page projects customers, revenue or a cost per lead from a budget.
- No page promises a position, a cost per click or a result.
- Where an answer describes how the platform works it links to the platform's own documentation.
- No page names another company as a comparison.
- “Best” appears only as this reference's assessment against its published criteria, with the frame attached.
- No page carries Review, AggregateRating, Award or Event structured data.
Date policy
Each page shows an edition date and an updated date. The click data carries its own retrieval date, which does not change when a page is edited. Click prices move faster than anything else this network publishes, so treat any figure here as a snapshot rather than a rate.
