When a bride in your city types &#8220;bridal makeup artist near me,&#8221; a well-configured Google Ads campaign puts your name first \u2014 before any organic result. You pay only when someone clicks your ad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This guide is for freelance makeup artists and studio owners in India who want to start running Google Ads but have no idea where to begin. By the end, you will know exactly how to set up your first campaign, choose the right keywords, write ads that get clicks, and avoid the mistakes that waste most of your budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure

class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Google_Ads_Works_Differently_for_Bridal_Makeup_Artists\"><\/span><strong>Why Google Ads Works Differently for Bridal Makeup Artists<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not all advertising works the same way. Instagram Reels build your brand over time. Google Ads catches a bride at the exact moment she is ready to book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Think about the difference in intent. Someone scrolling Instagram may admire your work but has no immediate plan to hire you. Someone typing &#8220;bridal makeup artist in Kolkata for December wedding&#8221; is actively looking to make a decision. This is called <strong>high-intent search traffic<\/strong> \u2014 and it converts at a dramatically higher rate than social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Think with Google, search-based ads in India see an average click-through rate that is 2\u20133x higher for service businesses during high-intent moments compared to display advertising. For beauty services, wedding season (October through February) is when this intent peaks \u2014 and that is precisely when your Google Ads should be running at full strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Understanding exactly<a href=\"https:\/\/kolkatadigital.in\/how-brides-find-makeup-artists-online-india\"> <\/a><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kolkatadigital.in\/blog\/how-brides-find-makeup-artists-online-india\/\">how brides search for makeup artists online<\/a> <\/strong>makes keyword selection far more effective. Brides in India do not just search your name \u2014 they search by city, by bridal package, by occasion, and often by urgency. Google Ads captures all of it, provided you set things up correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Before_You_Set_Up_Google_Ads_%E2%80%94_What_You_Need_First\"><\/span><strong>Before You Set Up Google Ads \u2014 What You Need First<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you open Google Ads and create a campaign, make sure these four things are in place:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A Google Ads account.<\/strong> Go to ads.google.com and sign up with a Gmail account. Use the same email associated with your business wherever possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A verified Google Business Profile.<\/strong> Your Google Business Profile (GBP) is the foundation for all local visibility. Without it, your location extensions will not work and your local targeting will be weaker. If yours is not set up or verified yet, do that first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A dedicated landing page or booking link.<\/strong> Do not send your ad traffic to your Instagram profile or your homepage. You need a page with a clear service list, photos, and one call-to-action \u2014 ideally a WhatsApp button or a booking form. A focused landing page can double your conversion rate compared to a generic homepage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Budget clarity.<\/strong> Decide upfront how much you can spend per month. You do not need a large budget to start, but you need a real number. We will cover realistic costs in a later section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-by-Step_Google_Ads_Setup_for_Makeup_Artists_in_India\"><\/span><strong>Step-by-Step Google Ads Setup for Makeup Artists in India<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_%E2%80%94_Choose_the_Right_Campaign_Type\"><\/span><strong>Step 1 \u2014 Choose the Right Campaign Type<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google Ads offers several campaign types. For a bridal makeup artist just starting out, the right choice is a <strong>Search campaign<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Search campaigns show text ads when someone types a relevant keyword into Google. This is the highest-intent campaign type \u2014 your ad appears at the moment a bride is looking. Other types like <strong>Performance Max<\/strong> (which runs across Search, YouTube, Gmail, and Display) or <strong>Display campaigns<\/strong> (image ads on websites) can work later, but they require more data and budget to optimise properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start with Search. Get your first conversions. Then expand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_%E2%80%94_Set_Your_Target_Location_City_Radius\"><\/span><strong>Step 2 \u2014 Set Your Target Location (City + Radius)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This step is where most beginner campaigns go wrong. If you leave location targeting set to &#8220;All of India,&#8221; you will waste your entire budget on clicks from cities you do not serve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Go to the <em>Locations<\/em> setting inside your campaign and choose one of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your city only (e.g., Kolkata, Durgapur, Howrah)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A radius around your studio \u2014 typically 10\u201320 km for urban areas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A combination of multiple nearby cities if you travel for bookings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also open the <em>Location options<\/em> dropdown and select <strong>&#8220;People in or regularly in your targeted locations&#8221;<\/strong> \u2014 not &#8220;people searching about&#8221; your location. This filters out tourists and researchers who have no intention of booking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_%E2%80%94_Research_and_Choose_Your_Keywords\"><\/span><strong>Step 3 \u2014 Research and Choose Your Keywords<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keywords are the search terms that trigger your ad. Use <strong>Google Keyword Planner<\/strong> (free inside Google Ads) to find what brides in your city actually type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start with these seed keyword types:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>High-intent bridal keywords:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>bridal makeup artist in [your city]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>professional makeup artist for wedding [your city]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>HD bridal makeup [your city]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Package and occasion keywords:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>bridal makeup package [city]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>engagement makeup artist near me<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>airbrush bridal makeup [city]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Price and availability keywords:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>affordable bridal makeup artist [city]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>best makeup artist for wedding [city]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use <strong>phrase match<\/strong> or <strong>exact match<\/strong> keyword types \u2014 not broad match. Broad match will show your ad for searches like &#8220;makeup tutorial&#8221; or &#8220;bridal dress,&#8221; which are irrelevant and will drain your budget fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also add <strong>negative keywords<\/strong> \u2014 these are terms you do NOT want to trigger your ad. Add: tutorial, free, DIY, course, training, learn. If you do not offer hair services separately, add &#8220;hair only&#8221; as a negative too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Understanding how brides search for makeup artists online gives you a real edge here \u2014 you will know which phrase variations convert and which are just curiosity searches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_%E2%80%94_Write_High-Converting_Ad_Copy\"><\/span><strong>Step 4 \u2014 Write High-Converting Ad Copy<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each Google Search ad has three parts: headlines (up to 15), descriptions (up to 4), and a final URL. Google assembles combinations of your headlines and descriptions dynamically \u2014 this is called a <strong>Responsive Search Ad (RSA)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is a framework that works for bridal makeup artists:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Headlines (write at least 8\u201310 options):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bridal Makeup Artist in [City]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Book Your Bridal Makeup Today<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>HD &amp; Airbrush Bridal Packages<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wedding Season Availability \u2014 Book Now<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>5-Star Rated Makeup Studio [City]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Free Consultation Available<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Trusted by 200+ Brides in [City]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Descriptions (write 3\u20134):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Professional bridal makeup for your big day. HD, airbrush &amp; traditional packages. WhatsApp us for availability.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Award-winning makeup artist in [City]. Book your wedding date before it fills up. Limited slots this season.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep sentences short. Lead with the benefit. Include your city name in at least one headline \u2014 it dramatically increases relevance and click-through rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_5_%E2%80%94_Set_Your_Budget_and_Bidding_Strategy\"><\/span><strong>Step 5 \u2014 Set Your Budget and Bidding Strategy<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a first campaign, start with \u20b9300\u2013\u20b9500 per day. This gives Google enough data to optimise without spending thousands in the first week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For bidding strategy, begin with <strong>Maximise Clicks<\/strong> \u2014 this is Google&#8217;s automated bid strategy that tries to get you the most clicks within your daily budget. Once you have collected at least 30\u201350 conversions, switch to <strong>Target CPA (Cost Per Acquisition)<\/strong> or <strong>Target ROAS (Return on Ad Spend)<\/strong> \u2014 these are <strong>Smart Bidding<\/strong> strategies that use Google&#8217;s machine learning to get you cheaper and better-quality leads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not use <strong>Manual CPC<\/strong> unless you enjoy spending hours adjusting bids. Smart Bidding outperforms manual bidding for most small businesses once there is enough data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_6_%E2%80%94_Add_Ad_Extensions_Call_Location_Sitelinks\"><\/span><strong>Step 6 \u2014 Add Ad Extensions (Call, Location, Sitelinks)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ad extensions<\/strong> (now called <em>Assets<\/em> in the Google Ads interface) add extra information below your main ad \u2014 at no extra cost per click. They make your ad take up more space on the page and significantly improve your click-through rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Set up these four for a makeup artist business:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Call extension:<\/strong> Adds your phone number so brides can call directly from the search results page without even visiting your website.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Location extension:<\/strong> Links to your Google Business Profile and shows your address. Critical for local trust.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sitelink extensions:<\/strong> Add links to specific pages like &#8220;Bridal Packages,&#8221; &#8220;Portfolio,&#8221; &#8220;Testimonials,&#8221; or &#8220;Contact.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Callout extensions:<\/strong> Short text snippets like &#8220;10+ Years Experience,&#8221; &#8220;400+ Bridal Clients,&#8221; &#8220;Available on Weekends.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every extension you add is a free opportunity to give brides more reasons to click your ad over a competitor&#8217;s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_7_%E2%80%94_Set_Up_Conversion_Tracking\"><\/span><strong>Step 7 \u2014 Set Up Conversion Tracking<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the most important step \u2014 and the one most makeup artists skip entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Conversion tracking<\/strong> tells Google what a &#8220;success&#8221; looks like for your campaign. Without it, you are flying blind. Google cannot optimise your bids, you cannot measure ROI, and you will not know which keywords are actually generating enquiries versus just burning money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Set up at least one of these conversions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Phone call from ad<\/strong> (calls that last more than 60 seconds)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Form submission<\/strong> on your landing page<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>WhatsApp click<\/strong> (via Google Tag Manager goal)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Go to <em>Tools \u2192 Conversions<\/em> in Google Ads, click the plus button, and follow the setup wizard. If you use Google Tag Manager on your website, setting up conversion events becomes much easier. Google&#8217;s Help Center has a<a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/google-ads\/answer\/1722054\"> full guide to setting up conversion tracking<\/a> with step-by-step instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Common_Google_Ads_Mistakes_Makeup_Artists_Make_in_India\"><\/span><strong>Common Google Ads Mistakes Makeup Artists Make in India<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before your campaign goes live, read this section carefully.

Using broad match keywords without negative keywords.<\/strong> Broad match will show your ad for &#8220;bridal makeup tutorial YouTube&#8221; or &#8220;become a makeup artist course.&#8221; These searchers will never book you. They will just cost you \u20b950\u2013\u20b980 per irrelevant click.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Not setting a location radius correctly.<\/strong> Leaving targeting at national or state level means your \u20b9500\/day budget gets spread across thousands of kilometres. A bride in Mumbai seeing your ad for a Kolkata studio is a wasted click.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Pausing campaigns too early.<\/strong> New campaigns need at least 2\u20133 weeks of data before they start performing well. Many makeup artists pause after 3 days, saying &#8220;Google Ads doesn&#8217;t work.&#8221; It was never given a chance to learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. Running campaigns year-round with no seasonal budget adjustment.<\/strong> During peak wedding season (October\u2013February) and Durga Puja pre-booking windows, competition for bridal keywords increases. Your daily budget should increase 30\u201350% during these periods to stay competitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Much_Does_Google_Ads_Cost_for_Makeup_Artists_in_India\"><\/span><strong>How Much Does Google Ads Cost for Makeup Artists in India?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The honest answer: it varies by city, by season, and by keyword competitiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are realistic CPC (cost-per-click) benchmarks for beauty and bridal keywords in India:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Tier 1 cities<\/strong> (Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore): \u20b980\u2013\u20b9180 per click<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tier 2 cities<\/strong> (Kolkata, Pune, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad): \u20b940\u2013\u20b9100 per click<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tier 3 cities and smaller towns<\/strong>: \u20b915\u2013\u20b950 per click<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a bridal makeup artist in Kolkata targeting high-intent keywords, expect to pay \u20b950\u2013\u20b990 per click on average. If 5\u201310% of clicks result in an enquiry (which is a realistic target with a good landing page), you are spending approximately \u20b9500\u2013\u20b91,500 to generate one qualified bridal lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A suggested starting budget for most makeup artists in India: <strong>\u20b9300\u2013\u20b9500 per day<\/strong> (\u20b99,000\u2013\u20b915,000 per month). Scale up once your campaign is profitable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wedding season is when CPCs rise but also when conversion rates are highest. Do not cut your budget in October. That is when the brides are most actively booking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Google_Ads_vs_Local_SEO_%E2%80%94_Do_You_Need_Both\"><\/span><strong>Google Ads vs Local SEO \u2014 Do You Need Both?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Short answer: yes, and they work best together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Google Ads<\/strong> gives you immediate visibility. You can go from zero to appearing at the top of search results within hours of launching a campaign. But the moment you stop spending, you disappear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Local SEO<\/strong> builds sustainable, free visibility over months. A well-optimised Google Business Profile and strong<a href=\"https:\/\/kolkatadigital.in\/blog\/local-seo-for-makeup-artists-in-india\/\"> local SEO for makeup artists<\/a> strategy means you can rank in Google Maps without paying per click \u2014 even after your ad budget runs out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Think of them as two engines running together. Ads give you leads now. SEO builds your presence for the long term. Running both simultaneously means you can appear in Google Ads at position 1 AND in the organic map pack below it \u2014 dominating the first page entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a complete view of how Google Ads fits into the broader picture, your<a href=\"https:\/\/kolkatadigital.in\/digital-marketing-strategy-makeup-artists-india\"> digital marketing strategy for makeup artists in India<\/a> should include SEO, social, and paid channels working in coordination \u2014 not just one in isolation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Do_After_Someone_Clicks_Your_Ad\"><\/span><strong>What to Do After Someone Clicks Your Ad<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Getting the click is only half the job. What happens next determines whether you get a booking or just burn money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Your landing page must do three things immediately:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Confirm you are a bridal makeup artist in the visitor&#8217;s city<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Show social proof (before\/after photos, real client reviews, any press mentions)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make it dead-simple to contact you \u2014 one tap, no friction<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A WhatsApp button is the highest-converting CTA for Indian beauty businesses. Brides in India prefer to chat on WhatsApp before committing to a call. Make that button visible above the fold on mobile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But clicking WhatsApp once is not enough \u2014 you need a structured follow-up sequence. A well-designed<a href=\"https:\/\/kolkatadigital.in\/whatsapp-marketing-funnel-makeup-artists-india\"> WhatsApp marketing funnel for makeup artists<\/a> turns that initial click into a confirmed booking, with automated or semi-automated messages that nurture the bride through consultation, quote, and confirmation \u2014 without you manually following up with every enquiry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speed matters too. Brides enquiring during their wedding research phase are often comparing 3\u20135 makeup artists at once. The first artist to respond with a professional, warm message has a significant booking advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ_%E2%80%94_Google_Ads_for_Bridal_Makeup_Artists_in_India\"><\/span><strong>FAQ \u2014 Google Ads for Bridal Makeup Artists in India<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1780490555178\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>How much does Google Ads cost for makeup artists in India?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">For a makeup artist in a Tier 2 Indian city like Kolkata, realistic CPC rates for bridal keywords range from \u20b940 to \u20b9100 per click. A practical starting budget is \u20b9300\u2013\u20b9500 per day (around \u20b99,000\u2013\u20b915,000 per month).
