Why Your Google Ads Haven’t Worked for your business

I know exactly how you feel — because I was in the same position.

You want to grow your business. Referrals are great, but they’re not enough to get you to the next stage.

So you do what makes sense — you hire a marketing agency to run ads.

They promise leads.
They promise growth.
They promise it’ll “just work.”

Instead, you end up spending more than you’re comfortable with… Getting bad leads, tire-kickers, or nothing at all…
And now you’re questioning whether ads work in the first place — or if you should just go back to relying on referrals.

Here’s the truth:

It’s not that Google Ads don’t work. It’s that they’ve been done the wrong way this entire time.

Most agencies don’t understand contractor businesses. They don’t understand job value, lead quality, booking cycles, or how we actually make money.

To be blunt — maybe 1% of agencies are capable of getting real results for contractors.

That’s why I decided to learn advertising myself. I learned the hard (and expensive) way — running ads for my own construction business.

Years of testing, fixing mistakes, dialing things in. Eventually, I built a system that actually works for our kind of businesses.

Not only did it lower ad costs —
It started bringing in real leads.
The kind that book jobs.
The kind that grow a business.

The 7 biggest Reasons why Google Ads don't Work

ads start costing more

Your Ad Costs Keep Going Up

When Google Ads aren’t built and optimized correctly, Google has no choice but to test your ads in places that don’t produce real customers.

That testing costs money — and over time, your cost per click keeps going up.

When campaigns are structured the right way, bad clicks are filtered out and your budget stays focused on searches that actually lead to jobs.

Why performance keeps dropping

You Can’t Improve What You Don’t Measure

When tracking isn’t set up right, Google has no idea which calls actually turn into jobs.

So instead of learning what works, it sends you more of the wrong clicks.

That’s why performance slowly drops, even when you’re spending more.

If Google can’t tell which leads are real, it focuses on quantity, not quality.

Landing pages force clarity

Sending Traffic to Generic Web Pages

Sending ad traffic to your homepage or a general services page feels logical, but it usually kills conversions.

Generic pages try to do too much at once.

They talk about everything you offer, distract homeowners, and never give them a clear reason to call right now.

Dedicated landing pages do the opposite.

One service.
One message.
One clear action.

Relying only on keywords

You’re Paying for the Wrong People

When there’s no keyword filtering, no intent layering, and no exclusions in place,

Google sends traffic, not buyers to.

1-people just researching,
2-people price shopping,
3-people nowhere near ready to hire.

And every one of those clicks costs you money.

When ads are set up this way, Google has no guardrails..

Your ad starts showing in searches — and placements — where it never should’ve appeared in the first place.

That’s why budgets get burned fast and nothing converts.

The ad is the first filter

Writing Ads That Don’t Convert

Most ads fail before anyone ever clicks.

Not because there’s no demand — but because the ad doesn’t clearly define who it’s meant for.

When ads are written too broadly, Google fills in the gaps.

That’s how your budget gets spent on:

1-People looking for information, not a contractor
2-Searches outside the service you actually offer
3-Clicks from homeowners who aren’t ready to make a decision

So Google shows it everywhere — and you pay for clicks that were never aligned with your business in the first place.

Clear ads do the opposite.

They turn away bad leads and bring in homeowners who are actually ready to move forward..

Trying to let Google “figure it out” too early

Using Smart Bidding at the Wrong Time

For contractors, this is where campaigns fall apart you lose visibility into what’s actually happening.

Google optimizes for signals, not outcomes.

Clicks, engagement, and volume look good inside the dashboard —
but none of that guarantees booked jobs.

Even with conversion tracking in place, Google still can’t tell:

1-Which leads became real projects

2-Which calls were tire-kickers

3-Which jobs were actually profitable

So it does what it’s designed to do:
Spend more where it’s easiest.

That’s not optimization. That’s automation without accountability.

Client Journey Tracking

Leads Fall Through the Cracks Without Follow-Up

Clicks don’t pay the bills — conversations do.

Without proper follow-up:

1-missed calls go cold
2-form leads forget you
3-ad spend leaks quietly

Most businesses don’t lose leads because ads failed —
they lose them because nobody followed up fast enough.

Stop spending your hard-earned money on advertising that doesn’t work the way it should.

Ask yourself one simple question: Do you really think most agencies understand what it takes to sell a $100,000 job?

If the answer is NO, keep scrolling or

This Is Where Most Agencies Get It Wrong — And Where We Don’t

This isn’t theory or agency guesswork.
This is the exact system I built running ads for my own construction business — refined to attract real jobs, not wasted clicks.

Lower Ad Cost

We don’t “turn the budget up and hope.”
By controlling intent, keywords, and traffic quality from day one, ad spend goes toward real opportunities — not learning at your expense.

Follow-Up That Doesn’t Lose Leads

The click is only the beginning.
We build follow-up systems that respond fast, stay consistent, and turn interest into booked jobs — even when you’re busy on-site.

Tracking Done the Right Way

We track real actions, not just clicks.
Calls, forms, booked jobs — so decisions are based on what makes money, not what looks good in a dashboard.

Dedicated Landing Pages

Ads never go to a homepage.
Every service gets its own focused page built to match the search, answer objections, and push one clear next step.

Ads Written to Get Jobs

Generic ads attract generic clicks.
Our ads are written to pre-qualify — clearly stating what you do, who it’s for, and what happens next — so the right people click.

Keyword Filtering

Most agencies add keywords.
We remove the wrong ones.

That means filtering out searches that don’t match your services, your pricing, or your ideal job — before they cost you money.

This is how ads stop feeling like a gamble — and start working like a system.

4 Reasons why You Should Partner Up With Me

You’re not partnering with just anyone — you’re partnering with someone who’s been in the contracting business for over 14 years and understands what it actually takes to make ads pay off.

Follow-Up That Converts

I don’t let potential leads slip through the cracks — that’s just throwing money away.
I make sure we capture their information when they land on your page and follow up properly so real opportunities don’t get missed.

Budget Protection & Filtering

I treat your ad budget the same way I treated my own — carefully, and with attention.
If money is being spent in the wrong places, it gets fixed. It doesn’t get ignored.

Dedicated Job-Specific Pages

I don’t plug your business into a template and hope for the best.
Your ads, pages, and budget decisions are built around the kind of work you actually want — not what looks good in a report.

Buyer-Intent Targeting

I set up your Google AdWords account properly so your ads show up in the right places on search — and you’re not wasting money on the wrong searches.

How the Partnership Works

I’m here to help you grow your business — and as you grow, I grow alongside you.

I charge a one-time fee to build and fix the foundation properly — the ads, the setup, and the pieces that actually make this work.

After that, the focus isn’t on squeezing you every month — it’s on growing the business.

When your business grows, the partnership makes sense for both of us.

I don’t work with everyone. If it doesn’t feel like a good fit on both sides, I’ll be upfront about it.

And if we do work together, I don’t work with anyone else in your district.

That way my focus stays on helping your business grow — not splitting attention between competitors.

So if you’re not happy with the way your ads are working, and you’re tired of feeling like you’re being taken advantage of, book a call and let’s talk.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from the agency I tried before?

Most agencies focus on running ads and sending reports.

I focus on whether your money is actually turning into real opportunities.

I built this approach by running ads for my own contracting business, fixing what didn’t work, and paying attention to the parts that usually get ignored — targeting, waste, follow-up, and fit.

If something isn’t working, it gets addressed. It doesn’t get hidden in a report.

Do I own my ad account?

Yes. The Google AdWords account is yours.

You always have access, and you’re not locked into anything. If we ever part ways, you keep what was built.

How much does this usually cost?

There’s a one-time cost to build and fix the foundation properly, and after that the focus is on growth.

The exact cost depends on your business, your market, and what needs to be built or fixed.

That’s why I don’t list prices on the site — it wouldn’t be honest or accurate.

We’ll talk it through on the call and decide if it makes sense.

Can you guarantee results?

No — and anyone who does is lying to you.

What I can guarantee is that your ads will be set up properly, watched closely, and adjusted when something isn’t working.

The goal is to give your ad spend the best possible chance to turn into real work.

Is this a good fit if I’m just starting out?

Yes — as long as you’re serious about building your business and have realistic expectations.

The reason I got into this work is because I’ve seen too many contractors get taken advantage of early on. When I started out, I paid for ads that didn’t bring in work, and I later found out the same ads were being run for competitors in my area.

Ads can work — but only when they’re done properly and with discipline.

This isn’t about flooding you with hundreds of leads a month. It’s about building something that actually makes sense for where your business is at and growing from there.

How much time do I need to be involved?

I respect that you’re busy running a business.

Up front, I’ll need some input so things are built around the work you actually want.

After that, I handle the day-to-day while keeping you in the loop on what matters.

What do you mean by not working with anyone else in my district?

It means I don’t take on another contractor in the same area competing for the same jobs.

My focus stays on helping your business grow — not splitting attention between competitors.

Who is this NOT a good fit for?

This probably isn’t a good fit if you’re looking for the cheapest option, instant results, or someone to just “set it and forget it.”

It is a good fit if you want ads handled properly, with attention and long-term growth in mind.

Will I be locked into a long-term contract?

No.

The foundation work is a one-time build. After that, the partnership only makes sense if it’s working for both of us.

Do I need a big budget for this to work?

No. The budget isn’t a guess — it’s a calculation.

I look at what your business is actually making and use a precise calculation to determine what you can realistically spend on ads without putting yourself in a bad spot.

Guessing is dangerous. The budget only increases as the work coming in increases — not before.

Revalusion

Results vary based on market, competition, and budget. No guarantees are made.
