There are two kinds of customers. The one who does not know they need you yet, and the one typing "pool builder Palm Beach Gardens" into Google right now with a budget and a deadline. Meta finds the first one. Google Ads captures the second. A serious marketing plan in Palm Beach County runs both, because the video ads create demand and the search campaigns catch it when it turns into a search.

Google Ads management in Jupiter, Florida, for businesses that want the phone to ring from people who are already looking. Search, Performance Max, and Google Local Services Ads, built and managed by the same team that runs your Meta, your CRM, and your Google Business Profile. One system, one report, every click tracked to what it actually produced.

Three Google channels, one account plan

Search campaigns

The classic text ads at the top of the results. We build them around the terms with real buyers behind them, pulled from actual search volume and cost per click data for your trade and your towns, not a keyword list someone guessed at. Tight ad groups, negative keywords from day one so you stop paying for "pool builder jobs" and "how to build a pool yourself," and landing pages that match the search word for word.

Performance Max

Google's automated campaign type that runs across Search, YouTube, Maps, Display, and Gmail. It is only as good as the assets you feed it, which is where an agency that produces its own video has an unfair advantage. Our clients' Performance Max campaigns run on real footage of their work, so the same creative that wins on Meta wins on YouTube and Maps.

Google Local Services Ads

The Google Guaranteed listings that sit above the map and above the search ads. You pay per real lead, not per click, and Google runs a background and license check on your business before it will show you. For home service trades in Palm Beach County this is usually the cheapest lead on Google, and most contractors either have not set it up or set it up wrong and gave up. We handle the verification, the categories, the budget, the reviews that drive its ranking, and the lead disputes when a junk lead sneaks through.

What is included in Google Ads management

Why Google Ads and Meta work better together

A homeowner in Jupiter sees your video ad on Instagram in March. In May the pool finally becomes a real project and they search "pool builder Jupiter." If you are in the Local Services Ads, the search ads, and the map pack, you are the name they already recognize showing up three times on one screen. That is how a search click converts at a fraction of the cost of a cold one. Running search without the video is buying expensive clicks from strangers. Running video without the search is creating demand and handing it to whoever bought the keyword. We run both. How the Meta side works.

How a Google Ads account launches

  1. Audit or build. If you have an account, we audit it first. Most inherited accounts are wasting a third of the budget on search terms that will never buy. If you do not, we build from scratch.
  2. Tracking first. Calls, forms, and appointments wired to the CRM before a dollar runs. No tracking, no launch.
  3. Local Services Ads verification. Started on day one because Google's background check takes a couple of weeks.
  4. Launch search. Tight campaigns on the money terms, landing pages matched, AI follow-up on.
  5. Add Performance Max and YouTube. Once search is stable and there is real footage to feed it.
  6. Manage and report. Weekly optimization, monthly call, one report with Meta and Google side by side.

Who Google Ads is right for

Businesses where people search with intent and the job is worth chasing: pools, roofing, HVAC, plumbing, remodeling, custom construction, landscape, pressure washing, dental, physical therapy, med spas, legal. If your trade has an emergency version, like a roof leak or an AC out in August, search is the channel that catches it at two in the afternoon. We manage Google Ads for select accounts, usually after the Meta system is running, because the two feed each other.

Questions people ask

How much does Google Ads management cost?

A flat monthly management fee plus your ad spend, which is paid to Google on your own card. We never take a percentage of spend. You get the full pricing sheet before the call.

What is the difference between Google Ads and Local Services Ads?

Google Ads charges per click and you write the ads. Local Services Ads charge per lead, show the Google Guaranteed badge, sit above everything else, and require Google to verify your license and insurance first. For most home service trades we run both. They reach the same searcher from two different spots on the page.

How long does Google Local Services Ads verification take?

Usually one to three weeks. Google checks the business license, insurance, and runs a background check on the owner. We start it on day one so it is ready when the search campaigns are.

Do I need Google Ads if I already run Meta ads?

If you can only afford one, run Meta, because the video creates the demand. Once the video is working, Google captures the searches it creates and usually converts them cheaper than cold search clicks. Most of our clients add Google after the Meta system is stable.

Will you work inside my existing Google Ads account?

Yes. The account stays in your name and you keep full ownership. We get manager access, audit what is there, and fix it before adding anything new.

How do you track whether Google Ads is actually working?

Every call, form, and booked appointment runs through the CRM, so the report shows cost per lead and cost per booked appointment, not just clicks and impressions. If a campaign produces clicks and no appointments, it gets cut.
