How is Google Ads different for local service businesses?

Geo-targeting, call extensions, and service-area keywords need to match how customers search — "plumber Tenby" not "best plumbing company UK." We structure around calls and booked jobs, not form fills alone.

Do you run Google Ads alongside Local SEO?

Yes — under one senior strategist so paid and organic don't cannibalize the same keywords or send traffic to conflicting landing paths.

How do you attribute calls from local service ads?

Dynamic number insertion, GTM events, and offline imports tied to service area. The same tracking discipline we used for KL Tint's call-heavy automotive bookings applies to field teams and transport operators.

Have you run Google Ads for UK local operators?

Yes — alongside SEO wins like Z Cars Tenby (#1 for "Tenby taxis" in four months). Paid and organic coordinated so tourists and locals find the operator who actually shows up.

Challenges

Why local services needs different google ads

Local Services market dynamics

Home and field service businesses lose calls to directories and national brands that outrank the operator who actually shows up.

Google Ads done in isolation

Most local services businesses run google ads without connecting to CRM, calls, or margin by offer — optimizations look good in-platform and don't show up in revenue.

How Zenos runs it

Map pack, service-area pages, and call tracking wired to the jobs that pay — not vanity map views.

Google Ads execution

Process

First 30 days — Google Ads for local services

Phase 1

Audit & attribution baseline

We review account structure, conversion events, and offline signals against how customers actually book — calls, forms, and CRM stages. You get a written scorecard and Loom walkthrough within 24 hours.

Phase 2

Intent-based restructure

Campaigns split by service tier, geography, and margin — not one blended budget optimizing toward the cheapest click. Search and Performance Max get separate evaluation criteria.

Phase 3

Tracking & conversion wiring

GTM, call tracking, and offline imports wired to the events that matter. No launch until the dashboard can credit revenue, not just platform conversions.

Phase 4
