What is up with Google Ads &
LSA Ads Leads. . .
Are your leads declining as your spend is increasing? You are not alone. There is
more competition in every category so the cost/click has gone up exponentially over the last year. Google Ai (Gemini) has been capturing traffic and redirecting users to DIY options and articles. Today, more than ever, you need to niche market when you run paid ads. Try reducing your keyword list to just terms that convert.
Consider dropping out of “Search Ads” and and use lower cost “PMax
Ads” to deliver your message to more consumers. Getting more conversions is the goal. Let PMax behavior based ads chase your visitors across multiple platforms for a fraction of the cost/click and generate more customers without overspending on Ads.

If you are using the LSA (Local Service Ads) you need to notate every lead in the platform. Mark quality, and for charged leads, mark all as “booked.” This will allow the LSA platform to view you as a more credible company and you will get more leads. Ai is making the decisions so weight the odds in your favor. You cannot game the system, but the system is a game you can win with a little extra effort!
Need help? Please reach out! We can run an audit and help you get your ads account/s into better shape. You can pay for the audit time and not have Google Ads management. We are here to help you succeed!
