Why it goes wrong

Where Google Ads Money Disappears

Most HVAC and plumbing accounts are not broken because the ads are bad. They leak because the structure, the landing pages and the tracking were never set up to book jobs

Budget goes to the wrong searches

Broad keywords bring in renters, price shoppers and people three states away. Without negatives and tight ad groups, the cheap clicks eat the budget that should buy installs

Clicks land on the wrong page

Ads for water heater replacement point at a homepage. The homeowner has to hunt for the service, and most of them leave instead

Nobody can prove what booked

Lead counts look fine while the schedule stays soft. Without call tracking tied to revenue, there is no way to know which campaigns paid for themselves

FAQ

Questions We Get Asked About Google Ads Management

Straight answers to the questions owners ask us before they hire us

Management is $997 a month in Revenue Builder: Google, which also includes Local Services Ads, landing pages and tracking, with no setup fees. Growth Accelerator at $3,497 adds SEO, a website and Bing and Meta ads. Ad spend is paid directly to Google on top of that, from a minimum of $2,000 a month.

You do. We build it in your name, and it stays yours if we ever part ways, along with the history in it.

It depends on your market, the services you want to push and your season. Your strategist recommends a starting budget on the roadmap call, and you pay Google directly so you always see the real number.

Paid search produces calls in the first weeks once tracking and landing pages are live. The first month is mostly about cutting waste and finding the searches that book work.

Yes. Local Services Ads are managed alongside your search campaigns in the same packages, so you hold both the top of the page and the ads below it.
