FAQs
Google Ads Questions
Everything you need to know about Google Ads for your contractor business.
Get Free ConsultationHow much should I budget for Google Ads?+
We recommend starting with $1,000-$2,000/month in ad spend for contractors. This typically generates 20-50+ qualified leads per month depending on your trade and market. Our management fee is separate. During your strategy call, we'll recommend a budget based on your goals and market.
What are Local Service Ads?+
Local Service Ads (LSA) appear at the very top of Google — above regular ads and organic results. They show your business name, rating, and a Google Guaranteed badge. The best part: you only pay when someone contacts you directly (not per click). They're the most cost-effective ad format for contractors.
How quickly will I get leads?+
Most contractors start receiving leads within 48-72 hours of campaign launch. Google Ads provides immediate visibility — unlike SEO which takes months. We typically see a steady flow of qualified leads by the end of week 2.
Can I do Google Ads and SEO at the same time?+
Absolutely — and we recommend it. Google Ads gives you immediate leads while SEO builds long-term organic visibility. Over time, as your SEO rankings improve, you can reduce ad spend. The combination maximizes your visibility and lead flow.
How do you prevent wasted ad spend?+
We use negative keyword lists to block irrelevant searches, geo-targeting to only show ads in your service area, ad scheduling for peak hours, and daily monitoring to pause underperforming keywords. We also dispute invalid leads on LSA to get you refunds.
