Paid Search for businesses across the Midwest and Great Lakes

Google Ads and Bing campaigns built for booked revenue, not click volume. Headquartered in Northern Indiana, serving Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, Pennsylvania.

What we do

We run paid search programs the way performance teams at much larger companies run them: server-side conversion tracking, value-based bidding, and weekly experiment cadences. Most the Midwest and Great Lakes businesses we audit are leaking 20-40% of spend on broad-match queries that never convert. Our first job is to plug that leak.

  • Account audit and historical-spend efficiency review
  • Server-side conversion tracking via the Google Ads API
  • Value-based bidding using actual order/booking value
  • Local service ads (LSA) setup and management
  • Geo-fenced campaigns around your service radius
  • Negative keyword grooming on a weekly cadence

Frequently asked questions

What's a realistic paid search budget for a the Midwest and Great Lakes business?

It depends on the service vertical and how competitive your county is. Most the Midwest and Great Lakes-area engagements start between $1,500 and $5,000 in monthly ad spend; we recommend a level only after seeing your conversion economics.

Can you take over an existing Google Ads account?

Yes. We migrate into your existing MCC, preserve your historical conversion data, and run a 14-day audit before changing structure. You retain ownership of the account either way.

Do you do Local Service Ads in the Midwest and Great Lakes?

Yes — LSAs are usually the first lever we pull for home services, legal, and medical clients in the the Midwest and Great Lakes area. They sit above traditional search ads and are billed per qualified lead.

How do you measure success on paid search?

Cost per qualified lead, cost per booked appointment, and return on ad spend tied to actual revenue — pulled from your CRM or POS, not just Google's conversion modeling.

What happens if a campaign isn't working?

We pause it. We don't keep losing campaigns alive to defend the budget. The audit cadence is weekly and the kill criteria are agreed in writing before launch.

Will you share search-term reports with us?

Every report includes the actual search queries that triggered your ads, what they cost, and which converted. No black box.
