What We Do

Google Ads That Drive Calls and Leads — Not Just Clicks

We manage Google Ads campaigns built specifically for Michigan service businesses that need a consistent flow of qualified leads. Every campaign is structured to maximize the actions that actually matter — calls, form submissions, and booked jobs.

Search Campaigns

Show up at the top of Google when someone in your area searches for your service. We build tightly structured search campaigns that capture high-intent traffic and convert it into leads.

Display Advertising

Stay visible across Google’s network of millions of websites. Display ads keep your brand in front of potential customers while they browse, building awareness and reinforcing trust.

Remarketing

Re-engage people who visited your site but didn’t convert. Remarketing campaigns follow up with warm prospects and bring them back when they’re ready to take action.

Call-Only Ads

For service businesses that live and die by the phone, call-only ads skip the landing page entirely and drive calls directly from the search result. We optimize for call volume and call quality.

Local Service Ads

Google’s Local Service Ads appear above everything else in search results and come with Google’s Guarantee badge. We set up and manage LSAs for eligible Michigan businesses to maximize trust and visibility.

Reporting & Optimization

You’ll always know what your ads are spending and what they’re producing. We track calls, form fills, and cost per lead — and optimize campaigns every month to bring that cost down over time.

Why Google Ads

The Only Advertising Channel Where Your Customer Is Already Looking for You

Most advertising interrupts people. Google Ads is different — it puts you in front of someone the moment they search for exactly what you offer. They already have the problem. They’re already looking for a solution. You just need to be the answer that shows up.

For Michigan service businesses, that means more calls from people who are ready to book, not people who might be interested someday. Google Ads is the highest-intent paid channel available — and when it’s managed well, it produces a consistent, predictable flow of qualified leads.

Target by city, zip code, or radius — only pay for leads in your service area

Why It Matters

Google Processes 8.5 Billion Searches Every Day. Your Next Customer Is In There.

Search intent is the most valuable signal in digital marketing. When someone types “HVAC company near me” or “emergency plumber Sterling Heights,” they’re not browsing — they’re ready to hire. Google Ads is the only channel that puts you directly in front of that person at that moment.

For Michigan service businesses competing in crowded local markets, being at the top of those results isn’t optional — it’s the difference between a full schedule and a slow month.

Let’s Find Out
What’s Included

Everything Needed to Run Google Ads That Actually Produce Leads

We handle the full Google Ads setup and ongoing management — strategy, build, copy, targeting, and optimization. You focus on the leads we send you.

Campaign strategy & structure

We build campaigns around the way your customers actually search — grouped by service, location, and intent so every dollar goes toward the right audience.

Keyword research & selection

Thorough keyword research scoped to your Michigan service area — including negative keywords to prevent spend on irrelevant searches from day one.

Ad copywriting

Headlines and descriptions written to stop the scroll, communicate your value proposition clearly, and drive clicks from people who are ready to take action.

Landing page guidance

Your ads are only as good as the page they send traffic to. We audit your landing pages and provide specific recommendations to improve conversion rates.

Conversion tracking setup

We set up proper tracking for calls, form submissions, and any other conversion action so you know exactly which keywords and ads are generating leads.

Geo-targeting & scheduling

Ads targeted to your exact Michigan service area and scheduled to run during the hours your business is open and your customers are most likely to convert.

Bid management & optimization

Ongoing bid adjustments to maximize your budget efficiency — pushing spend toward what converts and pulling back on what doesn’t.

Ad extensions

Call extensions, sitelink extensions, location extensions, and structured snippets configured to maximize your ad’s footprint in the search results.

Monthly reporting

Clear, jargon-free reporting every month — impressions, clicks, calls, cost per lead, and what we’re doing to improve those numbers next month.

No long-term contracts

Stay because the leads keep coming — not because you’re locked in. We earn your business every month.

Our Process

How We Build Google Ads Campaigns That Generate Consistent Leads

A Google Ads campaign is only as strong as the strategy behind it. Here’s exactly how we approach every new account from day one through ongoing optimization.

01
Discovery & Audit

We start by understanding your business, your service area, your target customers, and your goals. If you have an existing Google Ads account, we audit it thoroughly — identifying waste, missed opportunities, and structural issues before we touch a single setting.

02
Strategy & Keyword Research

We map out which services to target, which keywords to bid on, which to exclude, and how to structure the campaigns for maximum efficiency. This step determines how well everything else performs.

03
Campaign Build & Copy

We build the campaigns, write the ad copy, configure targeting and scheduling, set up all extensions, and install conversion tracking. Everything is reviewed before a single dollar is spent.

04
Launch & Early Optimization

We launch and monitor closely in the first weeks — adding negative keywords, adjusting bids, testing ad variations, and making sure conversion tracking is firing accurately on real leads.

05
Ongoing Management & Reporting

Monthly optimization cycles based on actual performance data — what’s converting, what’s costing too much, what needs to be tested. Clear reporting every month so you always know what your ads are producing.

FAQ

Google Ads for Michigan Businesses — Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Google Ads management, how it works, what it costs, and what to expect from LJB.

Google Ads costs vary based on your industry, service area, and competition level. You set the budget — Google Ads will spend up to whatever daily limit you define. For most Michigan service businesses, a meaningful campaign starts around $500–$1,500/month in ad spend. More competitive industries like HVAC, roofing, and law will require higher budgets to be competitive. Our management fee is separate from your ad spend.

Ads can start appearing in search results within hours of launch. Most businesses see their first leads within the first week. The first 30–60 days are a learning period where we optimize based on real data — cost per lead typically improves significantly after the initial optimization phase.

Google Ads puts you at the top of search results immediately by paying for placement. SEO builds organic rankings over time without paying per click. Ads produce results faster but stop when you stop paying. SEO takes months to build but compounds over time and doesn’t have a per-click cost. Most businesses benefit from running both — ads for immediate lead flow, SEO for long-term organic growth. We offer both as part of our Michigan local SEO services.

Yes — significantly. Google Ads drives traffic to your landing page, and that page has to convert visitors into leads. A slow, outdated, or unclear website will waste your ad spend. We audit your landing pages as part of every engagement and make specific recommendations. If your site needs work, our website design team can build high-converting pages before you invest in ads.

Yes, always. Your Google Ads account is created in your name and belongs to you. We manage it on your behalf using access permissions — we never hold your account hostage. If you ever decide to manage ads internally or work with another agency, you keep everything we’ve built.

We set up conversion tracking for every meaningful action — phone calls, form submissions, and any other lead event specific to your business. This tells us exactly which keywords, ads, and campaigns are generating leads and at what cost. You’ll see this data in your monthly report and can access it in your account at any time.

Quality Score is Google’s rating of the relevance and quality of your keywords, ads, and landing pages. A higher Quality Score means you pay less per click and get better ad positions. Poorly structured accounts with low Quality Scores overpay for every click. Building campaigns with strong Quality Scores from the start is one of the most important things we do — it directly affects your cost per lead.
