Leads this month — not "give it six months"

Google Ads Management for Springfield, MO service businesses from $497/month plus ad spend.

Burned by an agency that reported clicks instead of customers?

Clicks are what Google sells. Calls, booked jobs, and form fills are what you buy. Every campaign here is wired to track the phone ringing — so optimization follows revenue, and the monthly report reads in dollars, not impressions.

Proof

One campaign's numbers, start to finish

PPC agencies love screenshots of click-through rates. Here's what actually matters — calls, cost per lead, and return — from a live 417-area campaign.

Google Ads Case Study

417 Heating & Air

+122calls per month
$74.61cost per lead
2xreturn on ad spend

Search campaigns pointed at dedicated landing pages — not the homepage — with every call and form tracked back to its keyword. Budget moved weekly toward what booked jobs, away from what didn't. That's the whole trick, done consistently.

The Full-Stack Difference

Ads + Landing Pages + Tracking + the Website

A pure PPC shop manages bids and hands you a report. Here, the person managing the campaign also built the landing page, wired the tracking, and maintains the site it all runs on — so conversion problems get fixed the same week they're found, not escalated between vendors.

One person, the whole funnel.

The Process

Audit to optimization, on a real timeline

No campaign launches on a homepage, and nothing launches untracked. Here's the sequence every account follows.

01

Account & market audit

Week 1

Search volume, competitor spend, and your margins. Existing accounts get audited for wasted spend before a dollar moves.

02

Dedicated landing pages

Weeks 1–2

One page per service, built to convert the exact search that triggered the ad — sub-1.5s loads, click-to-call, one clear action.

03

Call & conversion tracking

Week 2

Tracking numbers, form tracking, and conversion import into Google Ads — wired so your Google Business Profile number stays untouched.

04

Launch

Week 3

Campaigns go live with tight match types, negative keyword lists, and geo-targeting drawn around where you actually take jobs.

05

Weekly optimization

Ongoing

Budget shifts toward keywords that book jobs and away from ones that don't. Search-term reports get pruned weekly, not quarterly.

06

Monthly reporting

Month end

Calls, leads, cost per lead, and return — in dollars. A 20-minute call if you want it, a readable email if you don't.

What's Included

Google Ads Management for Springfield, MO service businesses

Four named deliverables in every engagement — the same four you'll find on the business profile, because the page and the profile should say the same thing.

Google Ads Management

Strategy, campaign structure, bidding, ad copy, extensions, and budget stewardship — managed directly by Thomas, in your account, which you own. No white-labeled overseas team, no markup on ad spend.

PPC Campaign Management

Search, Performance Max, and remarketing campaigns with tight match types, negative keyword pruning, and geo-targeting drawn around your real service area — reviewed and adjusted weekly.

Landing Page Design

Dedicated pages built for each campaign — sub-1.5-second loads, click-to-call, and one clear action. Ads never point at a generic homepage, because homepages are built to inform, not convert.

Call & Conversion Tracking

Dynamic tracking numbers that forward to your real line, form tracking, and conversions imported into Google Ads — configured so your Google Business Profile number stays consistent for local SEO.

Ads + SEO

Ads are the bridge. SEO is the destination.

Paid and organic aren't rivals — they're a sequence. Ads buy leads while your rankings are still climbing; SEO steadily replaces paid clicks with free ones. Run right, your cost per lead falls every quarter.

Months 1–3: Ads carry the load

Campaigns produce calls within weeks while SEO campaigns do the slow foundational work — and the landing pages built for ads start earning organic impressions of their own.

Months 4–12: The mix shifts

As rankings and the Google 3-Pack listing pull in free leads, ad budget narrows to the keywords organic can't win yet. You spend the same or less, and total leads grow.

FAQ

PPC questions, answered straight

What business owners ask before putting money behind Google Ads.

How much should I budget for Google Ads in Springfield?

Most local service businesses start with $1,000–$3,000/month in ad spend plus management from $497/month. At the $74.61 cost per lead from the HVAC campaign above, a $1,500 budget buys roughly 20 leads a month — do that math against your average job value before committing. If the numbers don't work on paper, Thomas will tell you so on the first call.

Do you build the landing pages too?

Yes — Landing Page Design is a named deliverable, not an upsell. Every campaign gets dedicated pages that load in under 1.5 seconds, match the search that triggered the ad, and push one clear action. Ads never point at a generic homepage. One landing page is included on Starter, up to four on Growth, and additional pages are $497 each.

Google Ads vs SEO — which should I do first?

If you need leads this month, ads first — campaigns produce calls within weeks, while SEO typically takes months to compound. The smart sequence is both: ads carry the load early, then budget narrows as rankings and the 3-Pack pull in free leads. Start with the free audit to see which searches ads should buy and which SEO can win organically.

How do you track which calls came from ads?

Dynamic tracking numbers display only to ad visitors and forward instantly to your real line, so every call maps back to its campaign and keyword. Form fills track the same way, and both import into Google Ads as conversions — optimization follows booked jobs, not clicks. Your Google Business Profile number is never swapped, so local SEO citations stay consistent.

Is there a long-term contract?

No. Management is month-to-month with 30 days' notice, the Google Ads account is created under your ownership, and every campaign, keyword list, and byte of conversion data stays yours if you leave. Agencies that hold accounts hostage are the reason that question gets asked — it doesn't happen here.
