How fast will I start getting calls from Google Ads?

Usually within the first few days of a campaign going live. That's the main advantage over SEO — it's immediate. The first couple weeks are also when we learn the most about which keywords and ads are actually bringing in jobs, so expect adjustments early on.

Do I pay you and Google separately?

Yes. Our management fee starts at $750/mo. Your actual ad spend goes directly to Google, and you control that budget. We'll recommend a starting point based on your trade and service area, but you're never locked into a spend amount.

What if I already have a Google Ads account that's not performing?

We'll audit what's there. Sometimes the bones are fine and it just needs better keywords and tighter targeting. Sometimes the campaign structure is so far off that starting fresh makes more sense. Either way, you own the account — we just manage it.

Can you target specific services, like emergency plumbing vs. bathroom remodels?

Yes, and you should. Different services have different values and different levels of competition. A click on "emergency plumber Lindale" is worth a lot more than "bathroom tile ideas." We build separate campaigns or ad groups so your budget goes toward the calls that actually pay.

What happens if a competitor keeps clicking my ads?

Google has click fraud detection built in, and it's decent but not perfect. We also monitor for suspicious click patterns — same IP, repeated clicks, weird hours. If it's happening, there are ways to block specific IPs and flag the activity to Google for refunds on invalid clicks.

Google Ads for Home Services in Lindale

What Ads Can and Can't Do for a Home Services Company

A Google ad doesn't convince anybody to hire you. It puts you in front of someone who already needs what you do — right now, today, probably standing in their kitchen looking at a problem. That's a very different thing from billboard advertising or boosting a Facebook post and hoping the right person scrolls past it.

For home services, that timing is everything. Nobody searches "plumber near Lindale" out of curiosity. They've got water where water shouldn't be. Same goes for HVAC, electrical, fencing, roofing — the search happens because the need is immediate. Your ad shows up, they click, they call. You pay for that click whether they book or not, which is why the setup matters more than most people realize.

The difference between a campaign that prints money and one that burns through your budget in a week usually comes down to boring stuff. Match types. Negative keywords. Geo-targeting that actually stays within your service area instead of showing your ad to someone in Shreveport. None of it is glamorous, but skipping any of it is expensive.

A Frank Conversation About Your Ad Budget

How much should you spend? Depends on your trade and your margins. But here's the honest version of that conversation.

You: "Will $500 a month work?" Us: "Maybe. Depends on what a job is worth to you and how competitive your keywords are. If you're a general handyman, $500 might get you steady calls. If you're doing AC installs in July, $500 might last nine days."

You: "My cousin set up a campaign and it didn't work." Us: "Did he add negative keywords? Set a radius? Check the search terms report even once?"

You: "I don't know what any of that means." Us: "That's probably why it didn't work."

Google makes it very easy to start spending money. They do not make it easy to spend it well. Their automated suggestions are designed to get you to spend more — not to get you better results. We watch the account, adjust bids, kill underperforming keywords, and add new ones based on what's actually converting. Starting at $750/mo for ads management, and your ad spend with Google is separate on top of that.

Getting Lindale Service Calls, Not Clicks from Dallas

Geo-targeting sounds simple. Draw a circle on a map, run your ads inside it. But Google's default settings are loose — they'll show your ads to people who are "interested in" your area, which could mean someone in Fort Worth who searched for Lindale real estate six months ago. That's a click you paid for that will never become a service call.

We lock campaigns down to actual service areas. If you cover Lindale, the Highway 69 corridor, and parts of Smith County — great, your ads run there and nowhere else. If someone outside that radius clicks, we find out why and fix the targeting. For home services especially, every dollar of ad spend should be pointed at someone who could actually have you at their door today.

And we set up call tracking so you know which calls came from ads versus organic search versus your truck wrap. Knowing where leads come from isn't just nice information — it's how you figure out whether to put more money into ads or pull back and let your SEO carry the weight.
