How quickly can Google Ads start generating leads for my home service business?

Ads can go live within a few days of setup. You'll typically start seeing clicks immediately and leads within the first week or two. The first month is mostly about gathering data — what's clicking, what's converting, what's wasting money. Real optimization kicks in after that initial learning period.

What's the difference between the ad spend and the management fee?

The management fee (starting at $750/mo) covers us building, monitoring, and adjusting your campaigns. The ad spend is what you pay Google directly for the clicks themselves. Think of it like hiring a driver — you still pay for gas, but you get someone who knows the roads.

Can you target just Winona and nearby areas, or do I have to advertise to all of Tyler?

We can target as narrow or wide as you want. If you only want calls from Winona and the surrounding rural communities, we set the radius accordingly. If you're willing to drive further for the right job, we expand it. Your service area is your call — we just make sure the targeting actually matches it.

What if I've run Google Ads before and it didn't work?

That's common, and it usually comes down to one of three things: bad keyword targeting, no negative keywords filtering out junk, or sending traffic to a page that doesn't convert. We'd look at what went wrong and rebuild from scratch. A failed campaign is actually useful — it tells us what to avoid.

Do I need a new website before running ads?

Not necessarily, but the page your ads point to matters a lot. If your current site loads slowly or doesn't make it easy for someone to call or request a quote, paid traffic won't fix that. Sometimes a dedicated landing page is enough. We'll tell you straight up if your site is going to be a problem.

The Short Version of Why Your Ads Aren't Working

Google will happily take your money whether your campaign is set up well or not. They're not in the business of telling you that your plumbing ad is showing up for people searching for plumbing supply stores in Dallas. That's your problem — or ours, if you'd rather hand it off to someone who'll actually look at the data more than once a quarter.

What Goes Wrong With Most Home Service Campaigns

Home services in a place like Winona have a specific challenge. Your service area probably stretches from the rural routes around Smith County out toward bigger towns, but your budget doesn't stretch infinitely. So when your geo-targeting is sloppy, you burn through your daily spend on clicks from people three counties away who'll never hire you.

Then there's the keyword problem. "AC repair" sounds like a great keyword until you realize you're bidding against national brands and paying top dollar for folks just looking up YouTube tutorials. The right campaign targets phrases that actual customers type when they're standing in a hot house or staring at a busted water heater — and it ignores everything else.

And the landing page matters more than most people think. Sending paid traffic to your homepage is like giving someone directions to your neighborhood instead of your house. We build campaigns where the ad, the keyword, and the page all point in the same direction. That's when cost-per-lead drops and the phone starts doing something useful.

How We Run Your Google Ads — and What It Costs

We start by figuring out which services you actually want calls for. Not every service you offer is worth advertising — some have terrible margins, some have too much competition at the top of the bid range, and some just don't get searched often enough to justify a campaign. We'll be honest about that upfront.

From there, we build the campaign around your real service area. Winona, the surrounding communities along those county roads, wherever you're willing to drive. We set negative keywords so you're not paying for junk clicks, write ad copy that sounds like a real business and not a robot, and monitor performance weekly. Not monthly. Weekly. Because a bad week of ad spend adds up fast when nobody's watching.

We also track actual leads, not just clicks. A click that doesn't turn into a call or a form submission is just a donation to Google. Our reporting shows you what came in, what it cost, and whether the trend is going the right direction.

Google Ads management is part of our SEO + Ads package, starting at $750/mo. That includes the management, the monitoring, the adjustments, and the reporting. Your actual ad spend with Google is separate — you control that budget directly, and we'll recommend a starting point based on your service area and goals. No long-term contracts. If the numbers don't work after a few months, you'll know — and so will we.
