Google Ads Management

Google Ads That Produce Calls, Not Just Clicks

AIG Web Methods manages Google Ads campaigns that put your business in front of customers the moment they search for your services — with every dollar tracked, every campaign optimized, and no wasted spend.

Why Google Ads for Local Service Businesses

The Fastest Way to Get in Front of Ready-to-Buy Customers

Local SEO takes time. Google Ads puts you at the top of search results immediately — for exactly the searches that matter most. When someone searches "emergency plumber near me" or "roof repair estimate [city]," your ad appears before any organic result and before any competitor who is not running ads.

The problem most small businesses run into: Google Ads without proper management burns money fast. Broad match keywords, no negative keywords, weak landing pages, and no conversion tracking — and you're paying for clicks that never become customers.

AIG Web Methods runs tight, focused campaigns built specifically for local service businesses — where every keyword, every ad, and every landing page is optimized to produce calls, not just traffic.

Our Google Ads Approach
Tight Campaigns Built to Produce Calls — Not Just Clicks
  • Local service keyword research & intent mapping
  • Negative keyword list (stops wasted spend from day 1)
  • Ad copy written to qualify callers, not just get clicks
  • Call tracking on every ad & landing page
  • Geo-targeting by zip code or radius
  • Landing pages built to convert, not just receive traffic
  • Monthly spend report: cost per call, conversion rate
What We Manage

Full-Service Google Ads Campaign Management

🎯

Keyword Strategy & Research

We identify the high-intent keywords your best customers use — and build an equally important negative keyword list that prevents your budget from being eaten by irrelevant searches. Tight keyword targeting is where local ads win or lose.

✍️

Ad Copy & Extensions

We write ads that qualify the right customers and disqualify the wrong ones — reducing wasted clicks. We also configure call extensions, location extensions, and sitelinks to maximize the information your ad shows.

📐

Landing Page Optimization

Sending ad traffic to your homepage is wasted money. We build or optimize dedicated landing pages that match the ad's promise, load fast on mobile, and have a single clear CTA: call now or fill out the form.

📞

Call Tracking & Conversion Setup

We set up Google Ads conversion tracking for calls, form fills, and direction clicks so you know exactly what each dollar is producing. No call tracking = flying blind. We don't fly blind.

⚙️

Ongoing Campaign Optimization

We review your campaigns weekly — adjusting bids, pausing underperforming keywords, adding negatives, testing new ad variations, and optimizing for the specific days and hours your best customers call.

📊

Monthly Performance Reporting

You see your spend, clicks, calls, cost-per-call, and conversion rate every month — in plain language. No agency jargon. No hiding behind impressions and click-through rates as if they were the same as customers.

Common Questions

Google Ads FAQs

How much should I budget for Google Ads?
For most local service businesses, a starting budget of $500–$1,500/month produces meaningful results. Highly competitive services (roofing, HVAC, personal injury) may require more depending on your market. We recommend a specific budget after auditing your situation and your cost-per-lead targets.
Do I need Google Ads if I already do local SEO?
SEO takes months to build. Ads produce calls immediately. Many businesses run both — Ads for immediate traffic while SEO builds long-term visibility. Once SEO is producing consistent calls, some clients reduce ad spend. That's a data-driven decision you can make with real numbers.
What's your management fee for Google Ads?
Our management fee is a flat monthly rate separate from your ad spend (which goes directly to Google — we never take a cut of your ad budget). We'll quote a specific number after reviewing your market, target services, and budget. Book a free call to get a clear answer.
Can you fix campaigns that are already running and not performing?
Yes — this is common. We audit existing campaigns for wasted spend, keyword match type problems, missing negatives, and poor landing page alignment. Most underperforming campaigns can be significantly improved without increasing budget.
