Online ads questions, answered.
How much should a small business spend on Google Ads?
It depends on your services, area and competition. We help you start with a budget you're comfortable with and show you what it brings in before you spend more. Your ad budget goes to Google or Meta, not to us.
Are Google Local Services Ads worth it for contractors?
For eligible trades like plumbing, HVAC, roofing and electrical, they often show above regular ads and you pay per lead. They work best alongside a strong Google Business Profile and reviews.
Google Ads or Facebook ads for a contractor?
Google reaches people already searching for your service. Facebook and Instagram reach local homeowners before they search. Many businesses do best with both. We'll recommend a mix on the call.
Do you need a landing page for ads?
It helps a lot. Sending ad clicks to a focused page with one clear next step usually turns more visitors into calls than sending them to a homepage.
How fast can ads go live?
Often within days once the account, tracking and landing page are ready. Local Services Ads need Google's screening first, which takes longer.
Will I know which ads bring in calls?
Yes. We set up call and form tracking before launch and send a plain-English report each month.
