Updated October 2026. Moving is a mid-priced industry on Google in Singapore, but the price depends heavily on who is moving. Across 134 deduplicated keywords, the volume-weighted top-of-page bid is S$12.86, ranking #9 of 22 industries in the Singapore Google Ads CPC Index by Marketing Agency Singapore. Office moving is the priciest job type this month, at S$34.96.
The data comes straight from the Google Ads API (Keyword Planner, Singapore, English) and is refreshed every month. Below: what each type of move costs to advertise, the most expensive searches, when demand peaks, and the pricing rules that matter most for movers.

Movers CPC by job type
Keywords grouped by job, with bids weighted by search volume.
| Treatment / service | Keywords | Searches / mo | Top-of-page bid (low–high) | Most-searched keyword |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Office moving | 2 | 330 | S$11.46–S$34.96 | office moving singapore |
| International relocation | 5 | 640 | S$7.56–S$33.96 | international movers singapore |
| Storage | 39 | 10,750 | S$3.23–S$14.69 | storage singapore |
| House moving | 6 | 1,750 | S$4.06–S$13.48 | home movers singapore |
| Mover searches (general) | 35 | 14,020 | S$3.89–S$12.76 | movers singapore |
| Piano & specialist moving | 2 | 360 | S$2.40–S$9.55 | piano movers singapore |
| Disposal | 40 | 5,250 | S$1.97–S$5.82 | disposal service singapore |
Two forces shape these numbers:
- Corporate and international moves pay for the bids. “office moving singapore” sits at S$37.22 and “international movers singapore” at S$36.30. These jobs are larger, often billed to a company, and fought over by relocation firms as well as local movers.
- House moves are a volume game. “movers singapore” gets 6,600 searches a month at S$15.05, and price-led searches such as “cheap movers singapore” (S$14.12) cost almost as much. Many small operators bid on the same terms.
Storage is a large slice of the volume in this vertical. “storage singapore” gets 5,400 searches a month, and self-storage operators compete with movers for those clicks.

Moving search demand by month
Total monthly searches for the tracked movers keywords. Peak: March 2026 (41,940); low: February 2026 (27,870).
Moving demand tends to dip around Chinese New Year and rebound afterwards. Movers should budget for that rebound, and publish price and checklist content well ahead of the busier months shown above.
What customers search vs what your ads can say
| Searcher modifier | Keywords | Searches / mo | Avg high bid | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| “best” | 4 | 770 | S$15.15 | best movers singapore, best home movers singapore, best storage singapore |
| “top” | 2 | 120 | S$14.54 | top 10 movers in singapore, top movers singapore |
Unlike property agents or pest control, movers have no industry-specific licensing or advertising regime in Singapore. General consumer-protection law and the advertising code do the work, and they focus on price:

- Final bills vs estimates. The Second Schedule of the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act makes it an unfair practice to charge “substantially higher than an estimate provided to the consumer” unless the customer agreed to the higher price in advance.
- No hidden surcharges. Omitting a material fact or hiding it in small print is also an unfair practice. Stair-carry, no-lift, long-carry, dismantling and after-hours charges belong next to the headline price.
- “From $X” must be real. CCS’s price transparency guidelines say unavoidable fees should be in the headline price, and give “prices start from $5” with nothing at $5 as an example of a possible infringement.
- Superlatives need proof. The ASAS Singapore Code of Advertising Practice requires factual claims to be capable of substantiation, which rules out unsupported “No.1 mover” or “most trusted” headlines. A “guarantee” must improve the customer’s legal rights and state its period.
- WhatsApp follow-ups. PDPC’s Do Not Call guidelines cover WhatsApp messages to Singapore numbers, so check the DNC Registry before marketing messages unless you have clear consent.
This is a practitioner summary, not legal advice.
Ads vs SEO for a moving company
If one mover ranked first organically for every keyword here, the clicks would be worth roughly S$68,302 a month in equivalent ad spend. A practical split:
- Google Ads for office, international and urgent moves, where each job justifies a higher cost per lead.
- SEO for house moves and price research. Clear pricing pages by flat type, with the surcharges spelled out, rank for the high-volume residential searches and pre-empt the disputes that end in complaints.

Methodology
How this index is built. Every month we pull Google Ads Keyword Planner data through the Google Ads API for Singapore (English, Google Search network). We seed each industry with its core service terms, then:
- Collapse close variants. Keyword Planner often reports close variants (singular and plural, reordered words) with identical numbers. We count them once.
- Drop navigational searches. Brand and company names are excluded, along with anything under 30 searches a month.
- Report the top-of-page bid range (low and high) in SGD. Our headline “CPC” is the volume-weighted high end: what it typically takes to show above the organic results.
- Probe restricted terms by exact match to record where Google withholds data or gives no bid estimate.
Top-of-page bids are Google’s forecasts, not any one advertiser’s actual cost per click. Quality Score, ad schedule, device and competition on the day move real CPCs above or below this range. Use the index to compare services and industries, not to set a single bid.

Do moving companies in Singapore need a licence to advertise?
We found no mover-specific licence or advertising regime. Ads are governed by general law: the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, CCS pricing guidance and the ASAS advertising code.
Can a mover charge more than the quote?
Not substantially more, unless the customer expressly agreed to the higher price in advance. The Act lists that as an unfair practice, which is why surcharges should be disclosed before the job.
