You pay Google for customers
you never get.

Three things cause it in almost every account. In 20 minutes I show you which one is yours.

Read-only access. You keep the findings whether we work together or not.

The three mistakes from the video

None of them is about bidding. At least one is running in your account right now.

01

Google is buying you the wrong people

It chases the cheapest form fill it can find. The cheapest person on earth is one who was never going to pay.

Costs you: a lead count that looks great and an empty bay
02

Half your budget never reaches search

Search Partners and Display are on by default. The money leaves before anyone types your service.

Costs you: more than half the budget, every single month
03

You lose them after Google did its job

Missed calls. A six-hour reply. A page that loads in six seconds. You already paid for that person.

Costs you: the customers you already paid for
Auto repair shop with cars on lifts
The bays are the easy part.

Real accounts I run

Numbers, not promises

Straight from Google Ads. Cheaper market than yours, so read the method, not the dollars.
