Google Ads & Local Service Ads

Pay for booked jobs, not just clicks.

Local Service Ads and Google Ads put you in front of homeowners ready to buy right now. We run them on what actually matters, return on ad spend, not cost per lead.

LSAs book at 44% and run 49% cheaper than regular Google Ads.

A Google Local Service Ads result at the top of a phone search, three ranked pros each with a green Google Verified badge and a star rating, with one contractor highlighted at number one.

What good looks like

The right ad, the right homeowner, the right moment.

When someone searches “[trade] near me,” you’re at the very top with a Google Verified badge, and the call books. We optimize every dollar around the jobs it produces, not the clicks it buys.

The problem

Most contractors burn their ad budget.

Leak Optimizing for cost per lead The cheapest leads are the worst customers.
Leak Skipping LSAs The highest-intent, lowest-cost source, left on the table.
Leak One lumped campaign Cheap service calls eat the budget meant for high-ticket jobs.
Leak Set and forget Nobody’s watching the account, so spend leaks every day.

What you get

Ads run like an investment.

  • Local Service Ads and Google Verified Top-of-page placement with the trust badge that books.
  • Google Search and PPC campaigns In front of homeowners the moment they’re ready to buy.
  • LTV:CAC account structure Campaigns split by service tier, not lumped together.
  • Call and conversion tracking Every lead and booked job traced back to its dollar.
  • Negative keywords and spam filtering Junk and tire-kickers cut before they cost you.
  • Landing pages built to convert Ad clicks land on pages engineered to book the call.
  • Bid and budget management Spend steered toward the jobs that actually pay.
  • Live ROI reporting Always know the return, not just the click count.
A comparison: a $600 lead on a $400 service call loses money, while the same $600 lead on a $20,000 system replacement is a 33x return.

The shift that changes everything

Stop chasing cheap leads. Chase profitable ones.

Most agencies kill a campaign because the cost per lead looks high. That’s backwards. A $600 lead for a $400 service call loses money. That same $600 lead for a $20,000 system replacement is a 30-to-1 return. We restructure your account around lifetime value versus cost to acquire, so you can outspend every competitor on the jobs that actually pay, and still print money.
