Search ads bill the click. Local Services bills the lead.
Most home service companies only run standard Google search ads, where every click costs money whether the customer calls or not. Across 3,211 US home-services campaigns, general contractors paid $165.67 per lead on Search (LocaliQ, 2025). Local Services ads sit above them and charge only for valid calls and messages.
Run both, and stop paying for clicks that never call.

"Hi, water's coming through my ceiling after that storm…"
I'm sorry, let's get that looked at fast. Is it dripping right now, and do you own the home?
"Yes and yes. It's the upstairs bedroom."
Got it. I can have someone out tomorrow at 8am to inspect and tarp it if needed. Does that work?
"Please."

Happening now
Google is retiring the Local Services Ads dashboard.
It's being folded into Google Ads as a Performance Max campaign with a pay-per-lead goal. Roofing, HVAC, plumbing and pest control were in the first wave. Your lead history carries over automatically. Your performance reports (impressions, clicks, weekly spend) don't, and manual bidding and weekly budgets go away.
Phase 1 · August 2026
Already moving
Select advertisers in roofing, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, appliance repair, house cleaning, lawn care, pest control and moving.
Phase 2 · Late 2026
Service-area businesses
Businesses without a storefront, including most foundation contractors, plus accounts with custom bidding or booking.
Phase 3 · 2027
Everything remaining
All remaining categories and accounts not moved in the first two phases.
Admins get 14 days' notice by email, then a reminder 7 days later. Save your reports before the switch, not after. Read the migration guide →

Local business guarantee
25 qualified leads in 90 days — or you don't pay the management fee.
We don't ask you to take a bet on a stranger. Hit the agreed ad budget and if we haven't delivered 25 qualified leads inside 90 days, the management fee stops until we do.
Tied to an agreed monthly ad budget, because lead volume is a function of spend. We size that budget up front so 25 leads fits comfortably inside 90 days at typical cost per lead for your industry. B2B companies: we're taking on a small number of founding clients — ask about founding terms.
For local businesses, a new website and ads are usually live within two to three weeks; Google Verified approval runs on Google's timeline, not ours. For B2B, your first emails typically go out in about three weeks, once the new inboxes are warmed up, and meetings usually start landing from week four.
Do I need to learn any new software? +
No. Calls and appointments go into the calendar and CRM you already use. For B2B, interested prospects are handed straight to you. You show up and do what you already do well.
Who owns the website and the accounts? +
You do. The domain, the site, the Google Ads account and the Business Profile stay in your name, and you pay Google directly for ad spend — it never routes through us. If you ever leave, everything goes with you.
Will this put my email address at risk? +
No. Emails go out from separate domains and inboxes we set up for you and warm up for two to three weeks first. Your main domain and your own inbox are never used, so your day-to-day email is never at risk.
What do you report on? +
One number. For local businesses, cost per booked job. For B2B, cost per booked meeting. Not impressions, not clicks, not "reach." Ask us at any point and you'll get the same one number.
Do you work outside Texas? +
Yes. We work with businesses across the United States. Our mailing address is in Dallas and we work on Central Time for calls and reporting.
Are Local Services Ads going away? +
No, they're moving into Google Ads as a Performance Max campaign with a pay-per-lead goal. Roofing, HVAC, plumbing and pest control were in the first wave from August 2026. Your lead history carries over automatically; your performance reports don't, so save them first. Read the migration guide →
What does the free audit include? +
For local businesses: your cost per lead, Google Verified status, your website on a phone and what happens to calls after hours. For B2B: who your best-fit buyers are, how many of them exist in your market, and what's stopping them from finding you. Written, within 24 hours on a working day. See what's in it →

Who you'll deal with
Pieter de Bruyn, founder
I write every audit myself. That covers your ad account, your Google listing, your site on a phone, and for B2B, who your buyers are and how to reach them. No templates, no junior account manager reading from a script. If there's nothing worth fixing, I'll tell you that too.
We'll audit your setup and send it in writing within 24 hours.
