The fastest channel from zero to paying clients. When someone in the Lower Mainland searches for what you do, your business shows up — and you only pay if they click. Done right, it's the cheapest way to acquire customers. Done wrong, it burns budget in days.
Before our call, you receive a written report: your buyer's real fears, the language they use, your top competitors, and which channel fits your business.
Google Ads management means I run your search campaigns end to end — strategy, keywords, landing page, conversion tracking and daily optimization. For Vancouver service businesses, it's the fastest way to turn "plumber near me" searches into booked, paying clients — usually within two weeks of launch.
The biggest advantage of Google Ads over every other paid channel: you reach people at the exact moment they need what you sell. A homeowner in Burnaby googling "emergency plumber" is already at the bottom of the funnel — they're not browsing, they're buying.
For service businesses with clear local demand — clinics, cleaning, trades, legal, beauty, dental — this is the cheapest cost per real client you'll find. You're not interrupting; you're answering.
Meta Ads create demand; Google Ads capture it. The right move depends on your business — but for most local service businesses in Vancouver, Google Ads is where the first dollar should go.
Your homepage talks about you. A landing page talks about the visitor's problem. Every dollar sent to the homepage is rounded down to noise.
Performance Max is powerful, but it needs clean conversion data and tight feeds first. Launching it cold burns budget for weeks before it stabilizes.
If you can't separate "booked" from "clicked", you can't optimize. Most accounts I audit are missing call tracking and form attribution entirely.
Broad match without aggressive negatives means showing up for half-related queries. Cheap clicks, expensive non-clients.
Google rewards accounts that get touched. An untouched campaign loses to a worse-but-managed one within weeks.
Not on this list? Most local service businesses with clear demand and unit economics still fit. Easiest way to find out: a $100 strategy session.
A Vancouver upholstery cleaning business spent years on referrals — feast or famine months, no way to forecast workload. Previous Google Ads attempts had burned budget with clicks but no real bookings.
We rebuilt the system from scratch: customer research, a single-offer landing page (19.86% CVR from cold traffic), tight-intent Google Search campaigns, full GA4 + call tracking. First booking arrived in week 2. The pipeline has been predictable ever since.
How long until Google Ads work? Most Vancouver clients see their first leads within two weeks of launch. Cost-per-client settles over 4–8 weeks as Google's algorithm learns. You get clear ROI data by the end of month one — and a plain-language report every month from day one.
Most Vancouver service businesses spend $50–100/day on Google Ads ($1,500–3,000/month), paid straight to Google. On top of that, management is a small monthly base fee plus a performance fee tied to new-client revenue — so you only pay more when the ads actually bring you paying clients.
| Cost | What it covers | Typical |
|---|---|---|
| Ad spend | Paid directly to Google — your budget, on your own account | $50–100/day |
| Base fee | Account management, conversion tracking, daily optimization, monthly reporting | Small monthly |
| Performance fee | A % of revenue from the new clients the ads generate | Only when you win |
First leads typically arrive within 1–2 weeks of launch. Cost-per-client stabilizes over 4–8 weeks as the algorithm learns your conversions. You'll have clear ROI data by the end of month one.
For most Vancouver service businesses, $50–100/day in ad spend is enough to start. The right number depends on your service area, competition and average client value. We set it together in the audit, before launching.
Yes, always. The account is created under your billing and ownership from day one. If we ever stop working together, you keep every campaign, audience and dollar of history.
Yes. A converting landing page is part of the engagement — no upfront fee. Most pages we build hit 10–20% conversion rates from cold Google Ads traffic.
Yes. I work across the Lower Mainland — Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, North and West Vancouver, Coquitlam and New Westminster. Campaigns are geo-targeted to your exact service area, so you only pay for clicks you can serve.
Google Ads if you need clients now: it puts you at the top of search today, with leads in about two weeks. SEO is the long game that lowers cost-per-client over time. Most Vancouver businesses start with Ads, then add SEO.
Yes. I start with a 40-point audit — tracking, structure, wasted spend, search terms. You keep full ownership while I rebuild what's broken and cut what's burning budget. Most accounts I audit lack proper conversion tracking.
