The spread across trades is wide. “garage door repair cary” runs $46.28 a click, while “landscaping cary” costs $3.06. A landscaper can test a small campaign at that price; a garage door company has to be sharper about which searches it pays for.

The Cary market
Cary has hot summers and mildly cold winters, with about 3.2 inches of snow in a typical year. If your heating calls bunch up in the cold months and your cooling calls in the hot ones, set the ad budget from your own call history, not the same number every month.
Cary gets several months of pleasant weather each year. If your crews book outdoor work through that stretch, put the ad budget where your own booked jobs say the season starts and ends.

Trades in Wake County
Wake County has 118 roofing contractors. A roofer who wants the repair calls needs a page for each service and a list of searches to exclude, or the budget buys jobs the crew turns down.
Landscaping works differently. Wake County has 464 landscaping companies, and a cheap click lets a landscaper buy enough data to see which services pay before committing a season’s budget.

Your first month
Nothing in the account changes until tracking is right, then the campaigns follow your own call calendar.
Every running campaign, its offer and its conversion tag gets read before anything changes, and the search terms that never call go on a cut list.
GA4, call tracking and conversion tags are wired so a call, a form and the ad behind them become one record.
The work you want more of gets its own campaign and landing page, so the ad and the page say the same thing.
Bids and search terms get checked every day for the first 30 days, then once a week, against the budget and the calendar you approved.
What every Google Ads account includes
The same eight parts go into every Google Ads account, wherever the business is.

Start from what a booked job is worth, then compare that with the click price for your trade in the table above. A high click only pays when the job behind it is big enough, so the opening budget is agreed on the strategy call and adjusted once tracking shows real cost per call.
Tracking goes live before the first click, so the calls that come in during the first week are already counted. From there, pause the searches that never call, put more budget behind the ones that book, and judge cost per lead on what the account has learned.
Plan on a six-month first term. After it, the agreement renews one month at a time, and 30 days’ notice closes it. What you pay in management tracks the ad budget, the channels in use and any landing pages we build.
You can. A trade with a cheap click buys far more testing than an expensive one, and a smaller budget on one service is how most accounts start. The test decides whether to scale, and the report shows cost per lead from the first week.
Calls, leads and cost per lead for each campaign, with every call tied to the keyword and ad that produced it. When you tell us which leads turned into booked work, the same report can carry that through to the job.
Free action plan
Tell us the trade you want more work in and the months your crews are busiest. On a short video call, a co-founder will weigh those months against the click price for your trade and what one booked job is worth, then mark the first campaign to run.
