Google Ads Management for Local Service Businesses

Most accounts we audit are spending money on the wrong clicks. One account we reviewed spent about $37 a week for weeks and generated zero conversions. The ads were running. The tracking was broken. We fix the tracking first, then the spend.

The Problem

Google Ads will happily spend your budget whether it works or not. Without clean conversion tracking, you cannot tell a real lead from a wrong number. We have seen accounts counting the same lead three times, which makes the reports look great and the bank account tell a different story.

How We Manage Google Ads

• Tracking first. No clean conversion tracking, no campaign. We confirm every conversion in both GA4 and Google Ads before we scale a dollar.
• Conversion truth. We count one lead once. We turn on call recording so you can judge lead quality yourself, not just lead quantity.
• Right structure, right intent. We build campaigns around the searches that book work, like “google ads management company” intent, and cut the wasted match types.
• Optimize for won jobs. We import your closed deals from your CRM so Google learns to chase revenue, not just form fills. This is the lever most agencies skip.

This, Not That

• We count one lead once. Many accounts we inherit triple-count conversions.
• We optimize for booked, won jobs, not raw clicks or impressions.
• We record calls so you hear lead quality, instead of trusting a number on a dashboard.

Who This Is For

Local and service businesses on Vancouver Island and across BC, including trades and contractors, clinics and group practices, and established local shops that want the phone to ring with the right people.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do you start with tracking instead of ads?

Because spending on broken tracking just buys you confident wrong answers. We get the data right so every decision after it is real.

What is a typical starting budget?

It depends on your market, but we will tell you the minimum that gives Google enough signal to learn, and we will not run automated bidding until the data is clean.

Do you offer Google Ad Grants for nonprofits?

Yes, we manage Google Ad Grants separately. Learn more about our Ad Grants service or ask us about it on your call.

How do I know it is working?

You see qualified leads and recorded calls tied to spend, not vanity clicks. We report cost per lead and cost per won job, not just cost per click.
