How far from Troup can you target my ads?

As far as makes sense for your business. Most landscapers have a practical service radius — maybe 15 to 25 miles. We set the targeting to match that. If you'll drive to Bullard but not Jacksonville, we build the campaign accordingly.

What if nobody in Troup is searching for landscapers?

They are — just not always with the word "Troup" in the search. A lot of local searches are "near me" queries, which means Google uses the searcher's location to match them with nearby businesses. We target the geography, not just the keyword.

How much should I spend on Google Ads per month?

That depends on your goals and your market. For a landscaper covering a small East Texas area, a few hundred dollars a month in ad spend can go a long way if the campaign is dialed correctly. We'll give you a specific recommendation after looking at your service area and competition.

Will I get leads right away?

Faster than SEO, yes. A well-built Google Ads campaign can start generating calls within the first week. But it takes a few weeks of data to really tune things — figuring out which keywords convert, what time of day gets the best clicks, and where to shift budget.

Can you run ads for specific services like hardscaping or landscape design?

Yes, and you should. Running separate ad groups for different services means better targeting and better ad copy. Someone searching for a patio installation doesn't want to see a generic "we do landscaping" ad. They want to see that you build patios.

The Problem With Running Your Own Ads in a Small Market

Here's a blunt take: Google Ads in a town of under two thousand people is either a waste of money or a secret weapon. There's no in-between. And which one you get depends entirely on how the campaign is built.

Small markets like Troup are tricky. You're not competing with fifty other landscaping companies the way someone in Dallas might be. But that also means the margin for error is razor thin. Bid on the wrong keyword — say, "landscaping" by itself with no geographic targeting — and you're paying for clicks from people three states away who will never hire you. Set your radius too wide and you're advertising to folks in Longview who already have a guy. Set it too narrow and you get four impressions a week. None of this is obvious when you're staring at Google's ad dashboard for the first time.

What actually works is building a campaign around the specific services you offer — mowing, mulch installation, seasonal cleanups, hardscape, landscape design — and targeting the zip codes and communities where your customers live. Troup, Whitehouse, Arp, the rural stretches along 110. You want your ads showing up when someone types "landscaper near me" while standing in their overgrown yard on a Saturday morning. Not when a college kid in Austin searches "how to start a landscaping business." The difference between those two clicks is about four dollars and zero revenue.

What We Actually Do With Your Ad Budget

We build the campaign from scratch. Keyword research based on what people in East Texas actually search for — which, by the way, is not what the default Google suggestions tell you. We write ad copy that mentions your services specifically. Mowing, bed work, drainage, patios, whatever you do. We set up geographic targeting so your budget stays local. And then we watch it.

That last part matters more than anything. Google Ads is not a set-it-and-forget-it system. Keywords that worked last month stop performing. Competitors start bidding on your terms. Seasonal shifts change what people are searching for — nobody's looking for leaf removal in March, but come October it's a goldmine. We adjust bids, pause what isn't working, and push budget toward what is. Every week.

You get real reporting too. Not a PDF full of graphs that don't mean anything — actual numbers. How many people clicked, how many requested a quote, what you paid per lead. If your cost-per-click on "lawn care Troup TX" creeps up, we'll know why and we'll fix it. Our ad management runs starting at $750/mo, which includes the ongoing SEO work that supports your ad performance. You pay Google separately for the actual ad spend, and we'll recommend a budget based on your market and goals. No long-term contracts. If the numbers don't work, you'll see it plainly and so will we.
