PPC / Google Ads

PPC management in Roanoke: pay for customers, not clicks.

PPC management in Roanoke, VA built around one number: what a lead costs you. Google Ads search campaigns, Local Services Ads, and remarketing, tuned weekly, tracked to the phone call, and reported in plain English by the person who runs them.

How we think about ads

Every campaign starts with your math, not Google's.

Before we touch Google Ads, we work out three numbers with you: what a new customer is worth, how many leads it takes to win one, and what that says you can afford to pay per lead.

That number becomes the boss of the whole account. Keywords that beat it get more budget. Keywords that miss it get cut. It is the difference between PPC management and paying Google to find out what your competitors already know.

And because we also build the websites and run the SEO services underneath, your ads land on pages built to convert, and every dollar of search-term data feeds the organic strategy too.

What we manage

The whole paid search stack, not just the ads.

Search campaigns, Local Services Ads, remarketing, landing pages, and the tracking that proves what worked.

Google Ads search campaigns

The core of local PPC: text ads on the exact searches that mean someone needs you today. We build tight ad groups around buyer-intent keywords, write ads that match the search, and prune everything that spends without calling.

Local Services Ads

The pay-per-lead listings at the very top of the page with the Google badge. For contractors, lawyers, and home services these are often the cheapest leads available. We handle the screening, the profile, and the dispute process for junk leads.

Remarketing

Most visitors leave without calling. Remarketing follows up with the people who already looked, for pennies on the dollar, so your business is the one they remember when they are ready to buy.

Landing pages and tracking

Every campaign points at a page built to convert that specific search, with call tracking and form tracking wired in. If a keyword cannot prove it produces leads, it loses its budget.

What happens when

What do the first 60 days of Google Ads management look like?

Week 1: the plan

Keyword research, competitor ad review, and honest budget math. You approve the plan and the monthly cap before anything spends a dollar.

Week 2: the build

Campaigns, ad groups, ad copy, extensions, landing pages, and tracking, built in your account. You watch it come together.

Weeks 3 to 6: the tune

Search terms come in and the pruning starts. Negative keywords cut the waste, bids shift to what converts, and cost per lead starts falling.

Ongoing: the compounding

Monthly plain-English reports: what you spent, what it earned, what changes next. Budget scales when the math says it should, not before.

FAQ

PPC management questions, answered straight.

The questions Roanoke business owners actually ask before running ads, with the honest versions of the answers.

How much does PPC management in Roanoke cost?

Two numbers: your ad spend, which goes straight to Google, and my management fee, quoted flat before you commit. Most local campaigns need a few hundred dollars a month in spend to compete for real keywords. In your free consultation I run the math for your market and tell you honestly whether your budget can win, or whether it can't yet.

How fast will Google Ads bring in leads?

Ads can show the day the campaign launches. Plan on two to four weeks of tuning while real search terms come in and the waste gets cut; cost per lead usually drops steadily through the first two months. Judge PPC on month two and three, not day three.

What is a good cost per lead?

It depends entirely on what a customer is worth to you. A roofer can pay far more for a lead than a barber and still win. That is the first calculation we do together: what a new customer is worth, what you can pay for a lead, and whether the click prices in your market leave room for profit between those numbers.

Should I choose Google Ads or SEO first?

If you need the phone ringing this month, ads. If you can invest in rankings you stop paying for, SEO. Most of our clients run both: ads capture demand today while the organic rankings grow underneath, and the search-term data from ads feeds the SEO keyword strategy.

Do I control the ad budget?

Completely. You set the monthly cap, the account lives in your name, and Google bills your card directly, so you see every dollar. Raise it when a season heats up, pause it with a phone call. No agency markup hiding inside your spend.

Am I locked into a contract?

No. PPC management is month to month, and the account, the campaigns, and every lead in them are yours from day one. If we part ways, you keep everything. I'd rather earn next month with results than with a signature.
