Google Ads first calls in 7 days from 0/mo

Your phone starts ringing in 7 days - with real customers, not people who click and leave. We block the junk clicks you're paying for and only count calls longer than a minute - not impressions, not clicks. Tracking that still works after Apple cut off ad data on iPhones. The account is in your name - we just run it, and you can pull our access any second. Google gives new accounts $600 in ad credit - we activate it at launch. Up front we'll walk through what ads actually cost in your trade, how it differs from the long game of SEO, and show examples by industry.

  • Free account audit - we find the wasted spend before you commit
  • We only count calls longer than a minute - not clicks, not spam forms
  • Tuned every day - not 'set it and forget it'

6 ways Google Ads burns budget with nothing to show for it

"Smart Campaigns burned $60/day for a month - zero conversion tracking"

Google pushes a simplified setup at signup - 5 fields, looks easy, but nothing inside is tracked or controlled. The ad catches everything: "plumber salary", "how to become a plumber" - and the meter keeps running. Most owners burn $1,500-3,000 over 30-60 days before realizing nothing is tracked. We rebuild the account so it only counts calls longer than a minute and real form fills.

Move me off Smart Campaigns →

"$1,500/mo to the last agency for 8 months - Excel reports look great, my phone doesn't ring"

Vanity-metrics trap. The monthly Looker Studio PDF shows impressions up 40%, CTR up 12%, ad position 2.3 - and zero of that pays your mortgage. Phone calls didn't go up. Booked jobs didn't go up. The agency optimized to what they could measure cheaply - clicks - because actually setting up call and lead recording + qualified-lead tagging is work. We measure phone calls >60s and booked jobs from your CRM. If those don't move, neither does the campaign budget.

Audit my account →

"Google suspended my account for 'circumventing systems' - they never said what"

Most common cause: ad copy + landing page mismatch (ad says "$49 drain cleaning", landing page prices the same job at $189), or stuffing keywords in display URLs, or running the same ad copy on a second account after a first ban. Appeal success rate is around 30% if you don't know what to fix. We do the appeal letter, rewrite the offending copy, and walk you through the rebuild on a fresh account if needed. Then we set up enhanced conversions + a clean account structure so it stays approved.

Unblock my account →

"Budget burns on tire-kicker clicks - broad match, no negatives, generic copy"

Default Google match type is now "broad" - it triggers your ad on anything semantically related. "emergency plumber" matches "plumber salary", "plumbing union", "plumber school", "plumber jobs", "plumber meme". Without a negative-keyword library (300+ per niche) and tight match-type discipline (phrase + exact for money keywords), 30-50% of the budget goes to people who will never buy. We ship 300+ negatives day one and refresh weekly from the Search Terms report.

Cut the wasted spend →

"Performance Max ate my budget - I can't see what's working inside it"

Performance Max is a mode where Google spreads your budget across search, YouTube, Maps and email on its own - and barely shows you where the money went. By default a big chunk lands on cheap spots like kids' videos on tablets, and you pay for it. The mode has a place, but only inside strict guardrails: we manually limit where it runs and cut out the junk placements.

Tame Performance Max →

"iOS 14 broke my conversion tracking - Google under-reports by 30-40%"

After Apple cut off ad data on iPhones, Google stopped seeing some of your calls and jobs - so it under-reports results by 20-40%. That makes it worse at picking who to show your ads to, and it wastes money. We set up tracking that works around that limit (data flows straight from your site, no following people around) - recovering 70-90% of the picture, so the ads land on the right people again.

What is in the box

What you get for 0/mo

Full account management. Click budget goes direct to Google on your card - no agency markup, no % of spend.

  • Free 24-hour account audit Before you commit. We open your existing account (or pull a competitor audit if you're new), check the Search Terms report for waste, conversion-tracking setup, Quality Score, ad copy variations, geo, dayparting, budget pacing. You get a 1-page summary of what's leaking and what we'd change. No pitch, no contract.
  • Manager Account (MCC) structure You own the Google Ads account. We add ourselves as Manager (MCC) - you can revoke access from your Google Ads dashboard any second. Same model for Google Guaranteed (green badge), Google Business Profile, Analytics, Tag Manager. Some agencies keep your account on their MCC so you lose history if you leave. Not us - your account, your history, your reviews.
  • Conversion tracking on calls >60s Primary conversion goal = phone call lasting 60+ seconds (the duration that filters wrong-numbers and spam). Secondary = qualified form fill (with hidden honeypot + reCAPTCHA v3). NOT clicks, NOT impressions, NOT cheap form submits that bots love. Smart Bidding learns from what we measure - measuring real revenue produces real revenue.
  • 300+ negative keyword library Every niche has a stock list of money-wasters: "salary", "jobs", "school", "certification", "union", "diy", "meme", "reddit", "youtube". We ship 300+ negatives day one based on your trade, then refresh weekly from your Search Terms report. Average savings: 30-40% of budget in week one.
  • Campaign structure that actually works Search (high-intent buyer keywords) → Performance Max with audience signals + asset groups → Display retargeting (people who visited but didn't convert) → Brand bidding (claim your own name before competitors do). Each campaign has its own CPL target, budget cap, and creative pool. Not one campaign dumping everything in.
  • Quality Score monitoring QS 7-10/10 = you pay 30-50% less than a competitor at QS 4-5. We track the three QS components (landing page relevance, ad copy relevance, expected CTR) per keyword and fix the lagging one. Average lift: 4-5/10 to 7-9/10 in 4-6 weeks.
  • A/B test ad copy (3-5 variants weekly) Responsive Search Ads with 15 headlines + 4 descriptions per ad group, rotated weekly. We pull the winner-loser report from the Combinations tab and kill the bottom 20% each week. Compounding lift: clicks up 20-40%, CPL down 15-30% over 60 days.
  • Smart bid strategy progression Manual CPC for new accounts (0-30 conversions). Maximize Conversions once you have 30-50/month. Target CPA after 50-100/month. Target ROAS for e-commerce with revenue tracking. Skipping these stages = Smart Bidding gets confused, CPL doubles. We move you up the ladder as data comes in.
  • ZIP-level geo + dayparting Target your actual service ZIPs (15-30 typical), not the whole city. Dayparting tuned to when your phone gets answered (HVAC: 7am-9pm, restaurants: 11am-9pm, lawyers: 8am-6pm). After-hours bidding only if you have call answering. Saves 20-30% of nighttime budget that lands on voicemail.
  • Enhanced Conversions + CAPI server-side Hashed first-party data (email, phone, name) sent server-side from your site to Google + Conversions API for the same data flow into Meta. Recovers 70-90% of attribution lost to iOS 14 / Safari ITP. Smart Bidding gets a clean conversion signal and CPL drops 15-25% as the algorithm re-learns over 30 days.
  • Google Guaranteed (green badge) / Google Guaranteed management When your niche qualifies (plumbing, HVAC, electrical, locksmith, garage door, cleaning, pest, appliance, lawyer, realtor): Google Guaranteed (green badge) leads cost $25-100 vs Search $30-150 per call, and the green Google Guaranteed badge converts 2-3x better than a text ad. We manage Google Guaranteed (green badge) bidding, lead disputes, and split budget between Google Guaranteed (green badge) and Search by performance.
  • Monthly report on calls → jobs → revenue Not impressions, not CTR, not ad position. The report: budget spent, qualified calls (with CallRail recordings), of those how many became booked jobs, of those total revenue, ROAS. Plain English on WhatsApp. If revenue doesn't track up, the budget doesn't go up.

Built for the US - since 2019

Google Ads run only for the US and Canada - since 2019

We've run 100-150 SMB Google Ads accounts since 2019 - and learned the four account-level moves that drop CPL 30-50% on most accounts.

01

Google Guaranteed (green badge)-first when you qualify

Local Services Ads (the green Google Guaranteed badge) sit ABOVE every paid + organic result, charge per LEAD not per click ($25-100 vs $30-150 Search), and convert 2-3x better. Most agencies skip Google Guaranteed (green badge) because it requires license + insurance + background-check paperwork. We do the Google Guaranteed (green badge) application end-to-end and run Search Ads on top for the keywords Google Guaranteed (green badge) doesn't cover. Blended CPL drops 40-60%.

02

Enhanced Conversions + Conversions API

iOS 14 ATT and Safari ITP kill 30-40% of browser-side conversion data. We wire Enhanced Conversions (hashed first-party data server-side) + Google Ads API uploads from your CRM (Jobber, ServiceTitan, HubSpot, Pipedrive). Recovers 70-90% of lost attribution. Smart Bidding sees real conversions and CPL drops 15-25% as the algorithm re-learns over 30 days.

03

ZIP-level geo + dayparting

We target your real service ZIPs (15-30 usually) with radius bid adjustments, not the whole city. Dayparting matched to when your phone gets answered. Saves 20-40% of budget that would otherwise land on voicemail or a customer 30 miles outside your truck radius.

04

$600 Google promo on month one

Google gives new ad accounts $600 in credit after spending $500. We activate it at launch. Effectively the first month of clicks is free (if you spend at least $500). We're a Google Partner, so the promo is real and applies day one.

We do not run Google Ads for:

Overseas or national brands. US and Canada local businesses only - we know one market deeply.

Straight talk - before you pay

4 reasons we'll tell a small business 'no'

No funny business. Plain English about when we'll say 'no'.

Budget under $1,000/mo on clicks

Smart Bidding needs 30-50 conversions/month to learn. At $500/mo click budget in most niches you get 10-20 clicks - not enough conversions. The campaign just spins. Realistic working budget by niche: restaurants $500-1,500, beauty $800-2,000, plumbing/HVAC $1,500-5,000, lawyer/finance $3,000-15,000. Under $1,000/mo total = build the budget first.

Min $1,000/mo click budget

Site loads in 6+ seconds

Slow landing = bad Quality Score = 30-100% CPC overpay + low conversion. Even with perfect ads, a slow site burns budget. Fix the site (we do $2,900 landings) before running ads. We don't take contracts where the landing site is broken - it's setup for failure.

Fix site first

We don't promise '$1 leads' or specific call counts

Anyone promising specific lead counts is lying. CPL depends on city competition, season, ad spend, license + reviews, landing quality - none of which we control alone. What we GUARANTEE: setup quality, Quality Score above 7/10 within 60 days, transparency (you see every dollar), and target CPL ranges per niche. Calls follow proper setup - we don't guarantee specific numbers.

Real CPL: $25-150 by niche

Restricted niches Google bans anyway

Casinos, unlicensed CBD, MLM, payday loans, crypto-token, adult, anti-aging supplements - no. Not on principle - Google's policy team bans these accounts in the first 1-7 days. We don't take the contract for something that gets killed week one.

Legit niches only
Why we're faster than a regular studio

The first generation of studios building sites with AI

Smart programs (helper programs like ChatGPT) draft the design and copy in 2 hours. A real designer finishes by hand - tuned to your trade, not a template. That's why it's 10-14 days instead of 2 months.

Last questions

Common questions from small business owners

Real questions owners ask before launching. Don't see yours? Ask on WhatsApp.

How much budget do I need to make Google Ads work?

Realistic working budget by niche: restaurants/local retail $500-1,500/mo. Beauty/salon/fitness $800-2,000. Plumbing/HVAC/roofing $1,500-5,000. E-commerce $1,500-10,000+ (scales with ROAS). Lawyer/personal injury/finance $3,000-15,000. Under $1,000/mo total is hard - Smart Bidding needs 30-50 conversions/month to learn. Plus 0/mo management.

Budget for my city →

Do you require a long contract?

No contract. Pay monthly. Stop anytime via WhatsApp message - we stop the same day. If you cancel, you keep the Google Ads account (we add ourselves as Manager, not owner), CallRail recordings, keyword lists, ad copy, audience lists. Continue with another agency or self-manage with what we've built.

Start risk-free →

Will you guarantee a specific ROI or number of calls?

No - and anyone who does is lying. ROI depends on city competition, season, ad spend, your license and reviews, landing-page conversion, the price of the job. What we GUARANTEE: setup quality (300+ negatives, Google Guaranteed (green badge) setup, Enhanced Conversions, CAPI, call and lead recording), Quality Score above 7/10 within 60 days, full transparency (you see every dollar), and target CPL ranges per niche. The work pays back when setup is right - we just don't pre-promise specific numbers.

What we DO guarantee →

Google Guaranteed (green badge) (Local Services Ads) vs Google Search Ads - which one first?

Google Guaranteed (green badge) first if your niche qualifies (plumbing, HVAC, electrical, locksmith, garage door, cleaning, pest, appliance, lawyer, realtor). Google Guaranteed (green badge) leads cost $25-100 vs Search $30-150 per call, and the green Google Guaranteed badge converts 2-3x better. Google Search runs on top for keywords Google Guaranteed (green badge) doesn't cover. Best accounts run BOTH. If your niche doesn't qualify for Google Guaranteed (green badge), Search + Performance Max with strict guardrails.

Bundle Google Guaranteed (green badge) + Search →

Performance Max - use it or avoid it?

Use it with strict guardrails. PMax has its place: Google has audience signals + cross-channel inventory most accounts can't access standalone. But default PMax dumps budget on cheap Display + YouTube placements (made-for-ads sites, kids' apps). Fix: campaign-level audience signals (your customer list as a custom audience), asset-group segmentation by service type, account-level negatives, the Insights tab + script-pulled placement reports, brand-keyword exclusion. Never run PMax standalone without Search alongside.

Tame Performance Max →

Smart Bidding (Target CPA, Maximize Conversions) - does it actually work?

Yes - after the account has 30+ conversions/month. Before that, Smart Bidding has nothing to learn from and burns budget. Progression: Manual CPC for new accounts (0-30 conversions) → Maximize Conversions (30-50) → Target CPA (50-100+) → Target ROAS for e-commerce with revenue. Skipping these stages = CPL doubles. We move you up the ladder as data accumulates.

Smart Bidding setup →

I'm with another agency already - switch fees?

None on our side. We audit your current account free in 24 hours - you see what we'd change, what's leaking, how the structure compares. You decide who keeps managing. If you stay, no hard feelings. If you switch, we onboard - no setup fee on month one.

Free audit →

Will my Google Ads account be on your manager account?

You own the account. We add ourselves as Manager (MCC) - you revoke access from your Google Ads dashboard any second. Same model for Google Guaranteed (green badge), Google Business Profile, Analytics, Tag Manager, CallRail. Some agencies keep accounts on their MCC so you lose history if you leave. Not us - your account, your data, your history, your reviews.

Account ownership →

What's iOS 14 ATT - does it still hurt Google Ads in 2026?

Yes, but less than Meta Ads. Apple's App Tracking Transparency (2021) + Safari Intelligent Tracking Prevention kill browser-side tag tracking for most iPhone visitors. Google Ads under-reports conversions by 20-40% without Enhanced Conversions. Fix: Enhanced Conversions (hashed first-party data server-side) + Google Ads API conversion uploads from your CRM. Recovers 70-90% of attribution and Smart Bidding gets the right signal. Setup is one-time, included in the 0/mo.

Restore my tracking →

How long until the first call?

Google Search ads = day 1 after launch. Google Guaranteed (green badge) = 5-15 days for Google to approve license + insurance + background check. Performance Max = 7-14 days (Google needs to learn). First booked jobs typically day 7-14. Steady call flow: 30-60 days while Smart Bidding learns. Best CPL: 60-90 days. Anyone promising leads in 24-48 hours is either lying or burning your budget on the cheapest tire-kicker keywords.
