Paid search

Google Ads managed for lead quality.

Focused search, PPC, and landing page campaigns for local businesses that need better leads, clearer reporting, and less wasted spend.

Overview

CPA obsessed. Vanity metrics ignored.

Most contractors burn a significant portion of their ad budget on irrelevant clicks that never become customers. We fix that. Our approach focuses on precise targeting, negative keywords, and conversion tracking — not impressions or click-through rates.

No percentages of spend. No setup fees. No long-term contracts. Flat-rate management, month to month.

Waste reduction

Most wasted ad spend comes from fixable problems.

Broad targeting, weak search terms, missing negatives, generic landing pages, and poor conversion tracking can quietly drain a budget. We tighten campaigns around the services, locations, and lead types that actually matter.

For smaller local accounts, the best setup is often focused search campaigns, presence-based service-area targeting, careful keyword control, and landing pages built around one clear action.
