Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of the most common questions business owners ask before getting started.

How long until we see PPC results?

Most businesses see early traction within the first 1–2 weeks as campaigns settle. Consistent CPL and steady lead flow generally stabilize within 30–60 days depending on competition, seasonality, and the quality of landing pages.

What budget do we need to be competitive?

Budgets vary widely by industry and metro. Most local businesses start between $1,500–$6,000/month, focused on high-intent search terms. We scale based on CPL, close rates, and ZIP-level performance.

Do we need dedicated landing pages?

Yes. Dedicated landing pages consistently outperform website service pages. Fast load times, clear offers, mobile-first design, trust elements, short forms, and compelling CTAs significantly lift conversion rates over time.

What does a good CPL look like?

CPL varies by industry, service type, and region. We set CPL targets by campaign and optimize weekly — expanding winning keywords and geos while cutting waste aggressively.

Search vs Performance Max — which is better?

Search captures explicit high-intent queries. Performance Max broadens reach across Google’s ecosystem using creative and audience signals. We typically anchor on Search, then add PMax once tracking is clean and CPL is stable.

How do you track calls and form leads?

Dynamic number insertion, conversion event tracking, recorded calls (where allowed), and attribution dashboards show exactly which ads, keywords, and geos drive booked appointments.

How do you reduce wasted spend?

Weekly search term reviews, negative keyword expansion, geo-fencing, and schedule adjustments remove unqualified traffic. We align ad copy and landing pages tightly to discourage the wrong clicks upfront.

Do you manage seasonality and promotions?

Yes. We adjust budgets, schedules, offers, and remarketing as seasons shift. Strategic remarketing helps maintain a consistent pipeline even during slower months.

Do you work with new or mature accounts?

Both. New accounts get a focused build-out. Mature accounts often benefit from restructuring, improved query control, and CRO improvements — unlocking lower CPL and better lead quality.

Is there a long-term contract?

Our agreements are straightforward and month-to-month. We earn retention through performance, not lock-ins.
