Common problems

What we usually find

Broad keywords burning budget

Searches for DIY, jobs, parts and free estimates in other states, all paid for.

Everything in one campaign

Emergency repairs and high-ticket installs fighting over one budget and one set of bids.

Clicks counted as conversions

Page views and button taps reported as leads, so bidding optimizes for the wrong thing.

Ads sent to the home page

Visitors land on a general page and leave instead of calling.

What changes

Before and after

Generic ad to specific, with call and sitelinks. Toggle to compare.

The details

How Google Ads works with us

Timeline, reporting and fit, in one place.

First 90 days

  1. Week 1Audit and trackingAccount review, wasted spend analysis and conversion tracking fixed for calls and forms.
  2. Weeks 2 to 3RebuildCampaigns split by service, negatives built, ad schedules and locations set, landing pages matched to each campaign.
  3. Weeks 4 to 8Learn and trimWeekly search term reviews, bid and budget changes, and ad copy tests.
  4. Month 3 onwardScaleBudget moved to the campaigns producing booked jobs, offline conversions imported where possible.

What we report

  • Calls and form leads by campaign and keyword
  • Cost per lead and cost per booked job
  • Search terms added as negatives each month
  • Impression share lost to budget and rank

Good fit?

  • You want leads quickly while SEO builds
  • You have high-value services that Local Services Ads does not cover well
  • You can track which leads turn into booked jobs

Probably not a fit if

  • Your budget cannot produce enough clicks to learn from in your market (we tell you in the audit)

Red flags

  • Charges a percentage of spend with no cap and no clear reason
  • Reports clicks and impressions instead of calls and leads
  • Runs the account in its own name
  • Never shows you the search terms you paid for

FAQ

Google Ads questions

Still have a question?Ask us on a free audit call.

Should I run Google Ads or Local Services Ads?

Local Services Ads charge per lead and sit at the very top, but you have limited control over which searches trigger them. Google Ads charge per click and give you full control over keywords, ad copy and landing pages. For many trades the answer is Local Services Ads for core jobs and Google Ads for high-value services LSA does not cover well, such as specific remodels or window replacement.

How much should I spend on Google Ads?

It depends on cost per click in your trade and market and on how many leads you can handle. We give you a realistic starting budget for your area in the audit rather than a generic minimum.

How quickly will Google Ads produce leads?

Campaigns can go live within days of approval. Expect the first 30 to 60 days to be a learning period while we remove wasted search terms and collect conversion data.

Will you use my existing account?

Yes, if you have one. We audit it first. Keeping the history is usually better than starting over.
