PPC Management for Local Service Businesses
Stop burning money on clicks that never become clients. We build paid advertising campaigns engineered to drive qualified leads, reduce wasted spend, and deliver a measurable return on every dollar you invest. Trusted by service businesses across Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach, and Pembroke Pines.
Why Most PPC Campaigns Waste Money
The average small business wastes 25 percent or more of their Google Ads budget on clicks that will never convert. That is not a traffic problem. It is a strategy problem. Most agencies set up campaigns, pick a handful of keywords, write generic ad copy, and send expensive clicks to your homepage. Then they send you a report showing impressions and clicks while your phone stays silent and your pipeline stays empty.
Wrong Keywords, Wrong People
Broad match keywords and lazy targeting mean you are paying for clicks from people who are browsing, researching, or searching for something entirely different. Every irrelevant click is money pulled directly from your budget with zero chance of return.
No Conversion Architecture
Sending paid traffic to a generic homepage is like paying for a billboard that points to a maze. Without dedicated landing pages built for conversion, you are paying premium prices for traffic that bounces in seconds.
Set It and Forget It Management
Too many agencies launch campaigns and walk away. Without daily optimization, negative keyword updates, bid adjustments, and ongoing ad copy testing, performance degrades over time while costs climb. You deserve active management, not autopilot.
At Demand Influence, we have managed over $50M+ in trackable client revenue through paid advertising campaigns built on data, tested through iteration, and proven in the most competitive markets in South Florida. We are a BNI member and 5 star rated Digital Marketing Agency because we deliver results that business owners can actually measure in their bank accounts, not just in a dashboard full of vanity metrics.
The D.E.M.A.N.D. Method™ for PPC
Every campaign we build follows our proprietary six-step framework, purpose-built for paid advertising that generates real revenue, not just clicks.
Discover
Before we spend a dollar, we map your highest-value customer profiles and study their search behavior in detail. What terms do they use when they are ready to hire? What signals separate a tire-kicker from a buyer? We audit your competitive landscape across Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach, and Pembroke Pines to identify gaps your competitors are ignoring and opportunities where your budget can generate the most leverage. This discovery phase also includes a full review of your current ad accounts, conversion tracking, and attribution setup so we understand exactly where money has been wasted in the past.
Engineer
We architect campaigns from the ground up for conversion, not just clicks. This means tightly themed ad groups with single-intent keyword clusters, compelling ad copy that speaks directly to buyer pain points, geo-targeting precision down to the zip code level, and bid strategies aligned to your cost-per-acquisition targets. Every campaign gets dedicated landing pages engineered to convert, with clear calls to action, trust signals, and mobile-optimized design. We also build comprehensive negative keyword lists from day one to block irrelevant traffic before it costs you money.
Multiply
Once campaigns launch, we enter a rapid testing cycle. Ad copy variations are split tested against each other. Audience segments are refined based on real conversion data, not assumptions. Bid strategies are adjusted based on day-of-week and time-of-day performance patterns. Landing page elements are tested systematically: headlines, forms, trust badges, calls to action. We find what works, eliminate what does not, and reinvest budget into your highest-performing combinations. The result is a campaign that gets more efficient every week.
Amplify
When we identify winning campaigns, we scale them aggressively. That means expanding into additional ad formats: Search, Display, Local Service Ads, Performance Max, and YouTube. We broaden geographic reach into new service areas while maintaining efficiency. We build custom audiences from your best converters and use lookalike targeting to find more people just like them. Amplification is not about spending more. It is about investing more in what is already proven to work.
Nurture
Only 2 to 4 percent of website visitors convert on their first visit. The other 96 percent leave without taking action, and most agencies let them disappear forever. We implement strategic remarketing campaigns across Search, Display, and YouTube to stay in front of warm prospects until they are ready to act. We also connect your PPC campaigns to local SEO and CRM systems so leads that are not ready today enter automated nurture sequences that keep your business top-of-mind for weeks and months.
Deliver
We track complete attribution from first click to closed client. Which campaigns drive phone calls? Which keywords generate booked appointments? Which ad variations produce actual paying customers? You will know your exact cost per lead, cost per acquisition, and return on ad spend for every campaign. Our reporting connects ad performance to real revenue so you can make informed decisions about where to invest next. No vanity metrics. No guessing. Just transparent, revenue-focused data.
What We Actually Do: Full-Spectrum PPC Management
We do not just run Google Ads. We manage every paid advertising channel available to local service businesses, all under one roof, with one strategy, and one team accountable for results.
Google Search Ads
Search Ads put your business at the top of Google results when prospects are actively searching for your services. We target high-intent commercial keywords with buyer signals, build tightly themed ad groups, write compelling ad copy with extensions, and optimize bids to drive down your cost per lead while increasing volume. Our Search Ads management includes daily bid adjustments, ongoing negative keyword refinement, ad copy A/B testing, geo-targeting optimization, and conversion-focused landing pages that turn clicks into calls and form submissions.
- High-intent keyword targeting and match type strategy
- Compelling ad copy with sitelinks, callouts, and structured snippets
- Geo-targeting by city, zip code, and service radius
- Negative keyword management to eliminate waste
- Dedicated landing pages for every campaign
Local Service Ads (Google Guaranteed)
Local Service Ads place your business at the absolute top of Google results with the trusted Google Guaranteed badge. Unlike traditional ads, you only pay when a customer contacts you directly, making this the most cost-effective lead generation channel available to qualified service businesses. We handle the full onboarding process including background checks, license verification, and insurance documentation. Once live, we manage your budget, monitor lead quality, dispute invalid leads, and optimize your profile to maximize your position and lead volume.
- Google Guaranteed badge setup and verification
- Pay-per-lead pricing with budget controls
- Lead quality monitoring and dispute management
- Profile and review optimization for ranking
- Coverage across 70+ eligible service categories
Display Advertising
Display Ads build brand awareness and keep your business visible to potential customers as they browse millions of websites across the Google Display Network. We design professional ad creatives in all standard sizes, use demographic, interest-based, and geographic targeting to reach your ideal customers in your service area, and optimize placements to maximize impressions while controlling costs. Display advertising is especially powerful when combined with Search Ads and Remarketing as part of a full funnel strategy.
- Professional banner design in responsive and static formats
- Audience targeting by demographics, interests, and geography
- Placement optimization across the Google Display Network
- Cost-effective brand awareness at scale
- Performance tracking with view-through conversion attribution
Remarketing Campaigns
Remarketing is the highest-ROI advertising channel because you are targeting people who already know your business. When a visitor leaves your website without converting, our remarketing campaigns follow them across Search, Display, YouTube, and Gmail with strategic reminders. We set intelligent frequency caps so ads feel helpful rather than intrusive, rotate creative to prevent fatigue, and segment audiences by behavior so someone who viewed your pricing page gets a different message than someone who bounced from the homepage.
- Cross-channel remarketing across Search, Display, and YouTube
- Audience segmentation based on website behavior
- Frequency capping and creative rotation
- Dynamic remarketing for service-specific messaging
- Typically 50-75% lower cost per click than standard campaigns
Performance Max Campaigns
Performance Max is Google's most advanced campaign type, using machine learning to serve your ads across every Google property: Search, Display, YouTube, Gmail, Maps, and Discover. We build Performance Max campaigns with carefully curated asset groups, strategic audience signals based on your best customer data, and high-quality creative assets that represent your brand professionally across every format. This campaign type is particularly effective for local service businesses because it combines the reach of Display with the intent of Search, all optimized by Google's AI toward your conversion goals.
- Cross-channel ads across all Google properties
- Audience signal optimization using first-party data
- Asset group strategy with creative testing
- AI-powered bid optimization toward conversion goals
- Maps and local inventory integration for service businesses
Every campaign we manage integrates with your website and your local SEO strategy to create a unified system where paid and organic work together. When your SEO rankings are building, PPC fills the gaps. When your PPC data reveals high-converting keywords, we feed that intelligence back into your organic strategy.
PPC Results in Competitive South Florida Markets
These are real results from local service businesses we manage in South Florida. Names are withheld for client confidentiality, but the numbers speak for themselves.
Concrete Contractor, Fort Lauderdale
A concrete contractor came to us spending $4,200 per month on Google Ads with a $185 cost per lead and no way to track which leads became jobs. Within 90 days, we rebuilt their campaigns from scratch, launched dedicated landing pages, and implemented call tracking. Cost per lead dropped to $62. Monthly lead volume increased from 23 to 67. They booked $312,000 in new projects within the first quarter, directly attributed to PPC. We continue to manage their campaigns alongside their SEO strategy.
Estate Planning Attorney, Boca Raton
An estate planning firm had been running Google Ads in-house for 18 months with inconsistent results and a $210 average cost per lead. We restructured their campaigns with intent-based keyword groups, wrote ad copy addressing specific client concerns, and built conversion-optimized landing pages. Within 60 days, cost per lead fell to $89 and lead quality improved dramatically. Their intake team reported a 40 percent increase in consultations booked from paid search. Their campaigns now integrate with their organic SEO program.
HVAC Company, Miami
An HVAC company needed emergency service calls during peak summer months. We launched a combined Search Ads and Local Service Ads campaign targeting high-intent emergency keywords across Miami-Dade County. Local Service Ads generated leads at $28 each. Search Ads captured additional volume at $47 per lead. Remarketing re-engaged visitors who requested quotes but did not book. Total monthly leads went from 40 to 118, and the client reported a 4.2x return on ad spend across the campaign. The Google Guaranteed badge also boosted their credibility significantly.
Expected Outcomes from Professional PPC Management
When PPC campaigns are built on strategy instead of guesswork, the numbers change dramatically. Here is what our clients typically experience within the first 90 to 180 days of working with us.
2-3x
Lead Volume Increase
Most clients see their qualified lead volume double or triple within the first 90 days through improved targeting, better ad copy, and conversion-optimized landing pages. More leads from the same budget.
40-60%
Lower Cost Per Lead
Through aggressive negative keyword management, quality score improvements, landing page optimization, and precise audience targeting, we consistently reduce cost per lead by 40 to 60 percent compared to poorly managed campaigns.
3-5x
Return on Ad Spend
Our clients average a 3 to 5x return on ad spend, meaning every dollar invested in PPC generates three to five dollars in revenue. Some industries see even higher returns when customer lifetime value is factored in.
Complete Transparency
You will always know exactly where your money goes and what it returns. Our reporting connects ad spend to phone calls, form submissions, booked appointments, and closed revenue. No hiding behind impressions or click-through rates.
Compounding Performance
Unlike agencies that let campaigns plateau, our continuous optimization process means your campaigns get more efficient over time. Month six outperforms month one. Month twelve outperforms month six. Your cost per acquisition trends downward while lead quality trends upward.

How much should I budget for Google Ads?
Most local service businesses start with $1,500 to $3,000 per month in ad spend plus management fees. The right budget depends on your industry, competition, and target cost per lead. We help you find the sweet spot during your audit.
How quickly can Google Ads generate leads?
Google Ads can generate qualified leads within days of launching. Unlike SEO, you see results almost immediately. We typically have campaigns optimized and generating consistent leads within the first 2 to 4 weeks.
What is a good cost per lead for Google Ads?
This varies by industry. Legal leads may cost $50 to $200, while home services leads typically run $15 to $75. We benchmark your cost per lead against industry standards and continuously optimize to lower it.
Do you manage the ads or just set them up?
We provide full ongoing management. This includes daily monitoring, bid optimization, negative keyword updates, ad copy testing, and monthly performance reporting. We treat your ad budget like our own money.
What happens if the ads are not working?
We monitor performance daily and make adjustments in real time. If a campaign is underperforming, we diagnose the issue and pivot strategy. We also provide month-to-month flexibility so you are never locked into something that is not delivering.
