Paid Ads Management

    Paid Ads at 12% When the Industry Charges 20

    Google Ads, Meta, and Local Service Ads managed on flat monthly fees with no contracts. Our incentive is your cost per lead, not your spend level.

    And we'll tell you when ads are the wrong answer: money spent sending clicks to a website that doesn't convert is our least favorite way to take it.

    The Channel Ladder

    Channels in the order budgets should climb them, not the order agencies like to sell them.

    Local Service Ads

    $300/mo or 15% of spend

    Google's pay-per-lead product with the Verified badge. For eligible home service trades this is where budgets start: 40 to 60% lower cost-per-acquired-customer than PPC in most trades.

    Full LSA service page

    Google Ads (PPC)

    $600/mo or 12% of spend

    Search campaigns for everything LSAs can't reach: non-eligible trades and markets, branded search, competitor terms, and research-phase queries. Full build, weekly optimization, cost-per-lead reporting.

    Meta (with PPC)

    $1,000/mo or 15% combined

    Facebook and Instagram lead-form and retargeting campaigns, managed together with your Google spend. Monthly creative refresh included, budgets shift to whichever channel is winning.

    ChatGPT Ads

    +$300/mo add-on

    OpenAI's ad placements inside ChatGPT, managed from day one. Small budgets, early-mover positioning, reporting folded into your existing monthly report.

    What the Fee Covers

    The work that separates managed campaigns from campaigns that merely exist.

    • Full campaign build: search, branded, competitor, lead-form, retargeting
    • Keyword and negative lists built for your trade and market
    • Conversion and call tracking wired end to end
    • Landing page audit with conversion fixes flagged before spend starts
    • Weekly bid and budget optimization
    • Search term pruning so budget stops leaking to junk queries
    • Ad copy and creative testing every month
    • One cost-per-lead number across every channel, reported monthly

    Should You Even Buy Ads?

    Ads amplify what your business already does. They amplify leaks too. The honest split:

    Ads are the right call when

    • Your website converts and you want more volume through it
    • You're in a trade or market LSAs don't cover
    • A competitor owns your branded search results
    • You have an offer worth promoting and a follow-up system that answers

    Fix something else first when

    • Leads already arrive and die waiting for a callback: fix follow-up first
    • Your website doesn't convert the traffic you have
    • You want ads instead of reviews, rankings, and a working site, not on top of them

    The follow-up problem is usually the cheapest fix with the biggest return: our AI phone agent and follow-up playbook exist for exactly this.
