Get More High-Quality Leads Without Wasting Spend

For service businesses, Google Ads can be the fastest path to revenue. When it is built correctly, it produces enquiries that turn into booked jobs, consultations, and signed matters.

When it is not, you get irrelevant calls, form spam, leads outside your service area, and enquiry volume that looks fine on paper but does not translate into revenue.

Irrelevant calls that waste your time
Form spam clogging your inbox
Leads outside your service area
High volume but poor quality enquiries

The biggest problem we see is uncertainty. If you cannot confidently answer which campaigns drive real enquiries, or you are not sure your conversions are being tracked correctly, the account ends up optimised around noise. That is where wasted spend creeps in.

What you get in the free Google Ads audit

  • A conversion tracking healthcheck across Google Ads and GA4
  • A wasted spend review across search terms, locations, and targeting
  • A lead quality review and quick fixes to reduce time wasters
  • A prioritised 30 day improvement roadmap

Our free audit focuses on three things: tracking accuracy, wasted spend, and lead quality. You will walk away with clear quick wins and a practical plan for what to do next.

What Google Ads Management Includes

Google Ads management should never be vague. You should know what work is being done, how often it happens, and what it is designed to improve.

  • Conversion tracking audit (Google Ads and GA4)
  • Lead quality review (what is being counted as a conversion)
  • Search term waste audit and negative keyword gaps
  • Service and suburb targeting review
  • Keyword and intent mapping (what people search before they enquire)
  • Account structure plan (service lines, urgency, brand vs non brand)
  • Landing page review with conversion improvements

Days 15 to 30: build, rebuild, launch

  • Campaign cleanup or rebuild based on audit findings
  • Ad copy and assets created with a structured testing plan
  • Negative keyword framework to reduce irrelevant leads

  • Monthly reporting plus a clear next month roadmap

Tracking and Measurement Comes First

If tracking is wrong, every optimisation decision becomes a guess.

Most underperforming service-business accounts are optimised towards the wrong signals. That could be spam form fills, low-intent enquiries, or calls that are not tracked properly.

When the algorithm learns from poor signals, costs rise and lead quality drops.

We start by making sure your conversion actions reflect real enquiries. We align Google Ads and GA4 so reporting is consistent, and we validate that calls and forms are being captured correctly.

From there, optimisation becomes straightforward. We can see what is working, cut what is wasting spend, and scale the services and suburbs producing the best leads.

What you will see in reporting

You will not get a report that looks impressive but changes nothing. You will get clarity and decisions.

Our Google Ads Management Process

This is how we run accounts so performance improves over time, not just in the first week.

01

Audit and diagnosis

We identify what is broken, what is missing, and what is wasting budget. This includes tracking accuracy, campaign structure, search term relevance, location targeting, and lead quality signals.

02

Structure and targeting plan

We build a plan around how people actually search when they need a service now. That usually means separating service lines, controlling suburb targeting, and structuring brand vs non brand properly.

03

Build and launch

We build or rebuild campaigns with control in mind. Ads and assets are created with a testing plan, and tracking is validated before optimisation begins.

04

Optimise weekly

Weekly work drives results. Search term reviews, negative keyword expansion, bid and budget adjustments, asset improvements, and lead quality controls.

05

Scale what works

Once data is stable, we expand into new high-intent opportunities and increase budgets where ROI supports it.

06

Review monthly and improve the funnel

We review performance, document decisions, and refine the conversion journey with landing page recommendations and a clear next month roadmap.

Campaign Types We Manage for Service Businesses

We manage the campaign mix that fits your industry, your buying cycle, and your goals. The aim is simple: drive high-quality enquiries and keep spend controlled.

Search Ads management

Best for high-intent leads that convert into revenue. We focus on search term quality, match type control, negative keyword discipline, and service and location segmentation so the budget goes where it should.

Call-focused campaigns

Ideal for trades and urgent services where calls are the primary conversion. We prioritise clean call tracking, tighter intent targeting, and consistent improvements in lead quality.

Remarketing and retargeting

Useful when prospects need more than one touch before booking. We keep audiences clean, messaging relevant, and frequency controlled so spend does not drift.

Performance Max when it makes sense

Performance Max can work for service businesses, but only when conversion signals are strong and the structure supports control. We focus on signal quality, budget discipline, and scaling only when lead quality is proven.

YouTube and Display with a clear strategy

These channels can help in competitive markets where demand needs nurturing. We use them selectively, with tight targeting and measurement that links back to real enquiries.

Industries We Work With

We focus on high-value service businesses where one new customer can be worth hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands. The strategy is built around lead quality, service area control, and measurement you can trust.

Trades and home services

Electricians, plumbers, builders, roofers, HVAC, and other local services. We structure campaigns by service line, tighten suburbs and service areas, and build call and enquiry tracking that shows what is driving booked work.

Cosmetic and medical-style services

Cosmetic injectables, skin clinics, dental, and allied health. We map high-intent searches, support compliance-aware messaging, and optimise towards booked consultations rather than low-quality enquiries.

Legal and high-ticket professional services

Personal injury, family law, criminal law, conveyancing, and similar. We prioritise lead quality controls, intent segmentation to avoid irrelevant matters, and funnel alignment so enquiries are more likely to convert into revenue.

Multi-location service businesses

Location targeting structure and measurement for businesses serving multiple areas. We ensure each location gets appropriate budget allocation and performance visibility.
