You're renting the top of the page.

Google Ads and paid social put you above the results as soon as the budget is live. That is the appeal, and it is also the catch. We would rather you understood both before you spent anything.

Google Ads · Paid social · Retargeting

Your ad budget is paid to the platform, not to us. Our management fee is separate from it, and the pricing page has the detail.

Ads stop the day you stop paying.

That is not an argument against them. It is the thing to understand before you start.

Search rankings build slowly and then hold. Advertising works the other way around. It turns on in a day and it goes quiet the moment the budget does, which makes it the right tool when you need the phone ringing this month and the wrong one if you were hoping to spend for a quarter and coast.

Which of those you need depends on how fast you want work and how long you intend to keep spending. We will tell you which one your money is better in. If the answer is not paid ads, we will say so rather than selling you the line item with the bigger number on it.

Running them properly is hands-on work rather than something we switch on and leave alone, so it is priced on its own instead of being folded into a bundle. The pricing page covers that.

What we run

Where the money can go.

Search ads

Google Ads against the terms somebody types when they already want the job done.

Retargeting

The people who landed on your site, read it, and left without calling.

Paid social

Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn, aimed by area and interest rather than by intent, which makes it better for being remembered than for being called today.

Video, display and shopping

YouTube placements, banners on other sites, and product listings for businesses selling things rather than jobs.

For most trades the first two do the work. We will tell you when the rest are worth your money and when they are just more places to spend it.

Opening an ad account takes an afternoon.

Keeping it from quietly wasting money is the actual job.

We do the keyword research and build the campaign structure around it. We write the ads. We work on the page the click lands on, because a good ad pointed at a bad page just raises what you pay per lead.

Then it is bids, budget, and watching what converts. Turning off what does not. Conversion tracking gets set up properly at the start, because without it nobody can tell you which half of the spend is working, and you will be asked to take that on faith.

An ad account nobody is watching does not stop spending. It just stops working.

Local Services Ads are moving in here.

Google began moving Local Services Ads into Google Ads in August 2026, as Performance Max campaigns with a pay-per-lead goal.

If you run both, they are becoming one account rather than two. The pay-per-lead billing survives and the ads hold the same positions, but the separate Local Services dashboard goes away. Anyone managing your search advertising is now managing that too, whether they mention it or not.

You shouldn't have to ask whether its working.

Reporting covers what the campaigns cost, what came back, cost per click, cost per lead, and return on ad spend. Plus what we think you should change, which is the part that matters and the part most reports leave out.

It lands in Momentum Bridge alongside everything else, so you are not logging into three places and doing arithmetic to work out whether the month went well.

How long will it take to see results from SEO services?

Many companies will promise to "make you #1 on Google in __ days". We don't make that promise. Why? Because we value honesty and integrity.

Paid ads on the other hand, can generate instant leads and quick wins. We will help you determine the best avenues for success and discuss realistic expectations to make sure you are getting the best possible ROI.
