Google Ads runs inside Paid Growth. Where your trade qualifies, we start with Local Services Ads, then add tight Search campaigns.
01 No Black Box. No Guesswork.
Most owners who tried Google Ads and quit weren't burned by Google. They were burned by a bad setup, or by an agency that didn't know their market. We work from local know-how and open, honest reports. We build every campaign around what brings in calls and leads for your kind of work.
We run Google Search campaigns, Local Services Ads (LSAs), or both, based on what you need. Where your trade qualifies, our Local Services Ads management comes first. LSAs show above everything, even regular Google Ads, and you pay per lead, not per click. Then we add tight Search campaigns to fit your goals.
Your ad spend goes straight to Google, not through us. You can always see what you spend, where it goes and what it brings back. We never mark up your ad spend, so there are no surprises on your bill.
We're based in Homer Glen. We know that what works in Orland Park is not what works in Naperville or Bolingbrook. That local sense shapes who we target, when we bid and what your ads say.
02 Why Most Local Google Ads Campaigns Fail
Google Ads is not set-it-and-forget-it, and it doesn't reward guessing. Most local owners who struggle with it ran the wrong keywords. Many had no way to track which ads brought in calls, or ran ads that didn't speak to their real customers. A badly run account misses leads and burns through your budget with nothing to show for it. The fix is a clean setup, tight targeting and hands-on work every month.
Loose, poorly picked keywords bring the wrong clicks. We research the local searches your best customers type when they're ready to hire or buy. Those are the keywords we pay for.
If you can't see which ads, keywords and landing pages bring in calls and form fills, you can't fix anything. Conversion tracking counts the calls and forms each ad brings in. It's the base of every campaign we run, and we set it up before we spend a dollar.
Search trends shift. Your competitors change their bids. Demand rises and falls with the seasons. A campaign left alone for 90 days will almost always slip. Every month we manage bids, pause what isn't working and put more behind what is.
03 Our Process
From the first call to the monthly tune-up, here's how we run every account. No shortcuts and no cookie-cutter templates.
Research Before We Spend Anything
We start by learning your business, your best customers, your competitors and the towns you serve. Then we build a keyword plan around local searches that show someone is ready to act, not just browsing.
Built Clean From Day One
We set up your campaign from the ground up. We group your ads, pick the towns to target and set match types, which control how close a search must be to your keyword. We also add negative keywords, the searches you never want to pay for. A clean setup stops wasted spend and makes later fixes much faster.
Ads That Speak to Your Customers and Track Every Lead
We write ads that name your services and speak to what local customers care about. Before anything goes live, we set up tracking for calls, form fills and click-to-call taps. That way you can see what every dollar did.
Go Live With a Plan, Not Guesswork
Once your campaign is live, we manage bids based on real results. We look at each keyword, time of day, device and town. Then we pause what drains your budget and put more behind what brings in real leads.
Better Every Month
Each month you get a clear report on spend, clicks, calls, form leads and what each booked job cost you. When your leads need more than a lead form, we build a landing page for your ads. It's included in the plan, and we tune it every 2 weeks to monthly, so more of your clicks turn into customers.
04 What's Included
Google Ads management runs inside our Paid Growth plans, where most new clients start. Our PPC management pricing is simple: $1,000 a month for Google, or $1,500 for Google and Meta together. That price covers everything below. Your ad spend is separate and goes straight to Google. We never mark it up.
We build the whole campaign: keyword research, ad groups, targeting and ad copy written for your trade. That covers Search campaigns, Local Services Ads or both, based on your type of business.
Before launch, we set up call tracking, form tracking and click-to-call tracking. You'll know which ads bring in real leads, not just traffic.
Hands-on bid work every month, based on real results. We check each keyword, time of day, device and town. We cut the waste and put more behind what works.
A clear monthly report on spend, leads and cost per booked job. We start with lead forms. If lead quality is low or your leads need more attention, we build a landing page or funnel for your ads, included in the plan, and tune it every 2 weeks to monthly.
05 Expand Your Growth
Google Ads brings in traffic fast. These services help that traffic turn into customers and cover the rest of the search page.
Sending paid clicks to a slow, dated or confusing website wastes your money. We build fast, custom-coded websites made to turn ad clicks into leads. Most clients build their website once leads are flowing. Until then, your ads point at a lead form or a landing page we build, so you don't need a new site to start. For Paid Growth clients, builds run $1,500 to $9,500.
Website DesignGoogle Ads stops the day you stop paying. Local SEO builds rankings that keep working on their own. Run both and you show up across the whole search page. It comes with our Organic Growth plan, once your site is live and leads are steady.

Lead Generation06 Common Questions
Answers to what local owners ask us most before they get started.
Most of the time, the setup was the problem, not Google. Accounts that fail tend to have the wrong keywords and no list of negative keywords. Many have no conversion tracking and no one managing them. An account no one manages burns through budget with little to show for it. We set up and run campaigns the right way from day one: tight targeting, tracked calls and forms, and bid work every month.
Our Paid Growth plans cost $1,000 a month to manage Google, or $1,500 for Google and Meta together. Your ad spend is separate and goes straight to Google. We set a minimum of $750/month in ad spend, so your campaigns get enough data to learn. For most local businesses in crowded markets like Chicagoland, $1,500/month in ad spend is the sweet spot. We'll give you a real estimate for your market on our first call.
PPC means pay per click. Google Search ads work that way: they show in the regular search results, and you pay each time someone clicks. Local Services Ads (LSAs) work another way. They show at the very top, above regular ads and the Map Pack. You pay per lead, not per click. LSAs also carry a “Google Verified” badge. Based on your trade and goals, we'll recommend Search ads, LSAs or both.
Your campaigns go live within 2 to 4 weeks once we have your materials and have shot your promo video. Local Services Ads also wait on Google to verify your business. From launch day, Google Ads can start sending traffic. The first 30 to 60 days are for learning: we gather real data, adjust targeting and fine-tune bids. We judge every campaign on cost per booked job. Months two and three are when we cut what doesn't book and scale what does.
Yes. Paid Growth has a 3-month minimum, then runs month to month with 30 days' notice. Three months gives us enough time to tune the account and see what it can do.
Yes, always. We work inside your Google Ads account, not one we own. You can see everything at any time. If we ever part ways, you keep the account, the data and the campaign history.
