Google Ads for contractors, managed.

A click in your trade costs real money. Managed ads mean it lands on a page that books, and the phone it points at gets answered.

What is broken today.

In Tulsa, a click on a plumbing search runs $67 to $84, an HVAC search $58 to $66, an electrical search $48 (Semrush, September 2026). That is what your competitors pay every time someone taps their ad. Pay it for a click that lands on a page with a phone number nobody can tap, or on a line that goes to voicemail after five, and you have bought the lead and handed it to the next shop.

The two most common mistakes: ads pointed at a homepage instead of the page for the job the customer typed, and no negative keywords, so the budget bleeds into "diy," "jobs," "salary" and "how to" searches that never become a call.

What we do.

Call-only and search campaigns on the terms your customers actually type, measured before we spend a dollar
A landing page per job type with click-to-call above the fold and a form that captures a phone number
Call tracking, so every call is tied to the ad that produced it
A search-term and negative-keyword pass every week, so the budget stops leaking into searches that never become a job
Hours-of-day and service-area targeting, so the ad runs when you can answer and where you can drive
A monthly report of spend, calls and bookings reconciled against your calendar, never clicks dressed up as results
Your own ad account, with the media billed by Google to you; you own the history and can walk away with it

What it costs.

Ads Management on its own is from $500 a month, plus the ad spend you pay Google directly. Inside Front Door + Growth it is included at $1,750 a month with everything else Front Door runs. We recommend a spend only after the scoping audit, never before, because the right number depends on your trade, your area and what one job is worth to you.

Frequently asked.

How much should I spend?

We recommend a number after the scoping audit, never before. It depends on your trade's click prices, your service area and what one booked job is worth to you. Anyone who quotes a spend before looking is guessing with your money.

Do I own the account?

Yes. The ad account is yours, Google bills the media to you directly, and the campaign history stays with you if we ever part ways.

Google Ads or Local Services Ads?

Often both. Local Services Ads need Google's screening and sit above regular ads for some trades; we help you through the screening and run both where it pays.

How do I know it works?

Calls and bookings, reconciled against your calendar, in the monthly report. Not impressions, not clicks. If the ads are not producing booked jobs, we say so and change them or stop.
