FOR LOCAL CONTRACTORS

Your Google Ads campaign is set up to make Google money, not you.

Google recommends settings that are designed to maximize their revenue.

Broad match keywords, Display Network expansion, no conversion tracking - you end up bidding on clicks that won't make your phone ring.

This guide shows you exactly how to fix it, step by step, before you spend another dollar.

$1.57

First job landed in 8 hours

One contractor's total ad spend before his phone rang with a paying job. Eight hours after launching the ad.

1,198%

Documented ROI, Month 1

$37

Average cost per lead

What contractors pay per lead when their campaign is built right. Angi charges $80+ for that same lead - then sends it to four other guys at the same time.

+$20K

New business in 6 weeks

What one contractor generated after setting his campaign up the right way. Same market, same competition, same Google. Different setup.
