Warning Signs

Signs Your Ad Spend Is Leaking

Ads are the fastest way to show up for a search you don't rank for yet. They're also the fastest way to spend money with nothing to show for it. Wasted spend usually comes from the same few places: keywords that are too broad, no negative keywords, every ad pointing at the home page, and no tracking on phone calls.

Run well, ads and SEO help each other. Ads bring in leads now while your rankings build, and the searches that turn into calls show which pages are worth building next.

Your ads may need a manager if:

  • You can't say how many calls your ads brought in last month
  • Clicks are up but leads aren't
  • Your ads show up for work you don't do
  • Every ad sends people to your home page
  • A campaign was set up once and never touched again
  • You boost Facebook posts and hope

What You Get

What's Included in Ads Management

We set up or take over your Google Ads and Meta accounts and build campaigns around the services and towns that bring you the most valuable work. On Facebook and Instagram, starter ad creative is included.

Then we track what counts: calls and form leads, tied back to the campaign and the search that brought them. Each month you get a report on what you spent, what came in and what we're changing next.

Ads management includes

  • Account setup or takeover
  • Google Search campaigns
  • Facebook and Instagram campaigns
  • Starter ad creative for Meta
  • Call and form lead tracking
  • Monthly reporting

No surprise changes to your budget

You approve changes before they go live, new campaigns launch paused until you've seen them, and budgets move in small steps tied to results rather than hunches.

Ads and SEO from one team

We also run SEO and Google Business Profiles, so the searches that turn into leads on your ads feed straight into which pages we build and which services we push in search.

Alex and Matt made switching over our website hosting service easy, seamless, and stress free. They were able to take our existing website and revamp things we didn't even know we were lacking, and made existing features better. They were fantastic to work with and will be utilizing other services from them any time we need it. 1000% would recommend to any small businesses.

Alex and his team were tasked with building our bar and restaurant a website from scratch. I am proud to say they have exceeded our expectations! Our site looks fantastic. What sets them apart from the rest is the A1 customer service. They are extremely responsive with any edits, changes, or additions. I would recommend them to anyone in need of their services.

Alex and his team know what makes a website work and maybe more important...they know what makes them not work. If you need to start from scratch or just need a skilled web pro to make the small changes necessary to get your business noticed, Building The Dream Duluth can get it done for you.

The Building the Dream Duluth team is wonderful. Alex has helped me with a couple of internet fixes for my business. The websites they've designed for a couple local businesses I know are beautiful and easy to navigate. I highly recommend Building the Dream Duluth!

FAQ

Paid Ads FAQs

How much does ads management cost?

Google Ads management and Meta Ads management are each $500 a month plus 10% of your ad spend. That covers setup, management, tracking and monthly reporting.

How much should I spend on ads?

It depends on your market, your services and what a new customer is worth to you. We recommend a starting budget based on the searches in your area, then adjust it as we see which ads bring in leads. For a first estimate, try our marketing budget calculator.

Google Ads or Facebook Ads: which is better?

Google Ads reaches people searching for your service right now, so it's usually the first choice for a home service business. Facebook and Instagram reach people before they search, which suits offers, seasonal services and staying in front of past visitors. Many businesses use both.

Do ads help my SEO?

Not directly: Google doesn't rank a site higher because it advertises. But ads show which searches turn into leads, and that tells us where SEO will pay off.

How soon will I see leads?

Search ads can bring calls within days of launch, because you show up for searches right away. The first weeks are also when we learn which keywords and audiences work, so results usually improve over the first couple of months.
