Hire a Google Ads Expert — GTM/GA4 Conversion Tracking & Local SEO for Local Businesses
$45.00/hr
Want More Leads and Sales? Work with a Google Ads expert focused only on high-intent Google Search campaigns. I help businesses reach people actively searching for their services and turn clicks into real phone calls.
Get your first qualified sales call within 48 hours—or you don’t pay. No long-term contracts. No confusing reports. No lead, no payment.
Local businesses pour money into Google Ads every month and get almost nothing back — wrong keywords, broken tracking, ads that click but never convert. That’s what I fix.
I’ve helped contractors, roofers, plumbers, law firms, clinics, and other local service businesses build Google Ads campaigns that generate real phone calls, form fills, and booked appointments — not just clicks.
Here’s what I bring to every project:
- Google Ads Search campaign setup, from the ground up or rebuilt from a broken account
- Keyword research targeting buyers actively looking for your service, with negative keywords to cut waste
- High-converting ad copy written around how your actual customers search and talk
- GTM & GA4 conversion tracking — calls, form fills, and booked leads, all attributed correctly
- Google Analytics integration and plain-English reporting
- Local SEO support — Google Maps ranking and Business Profile optimization
- A 30-day optimization cycle that scales what’s working and cuts what isn’t
What makes the difference isn’t just technical skill — it’s treating your ad budget like it’s mine. I track cost-per-lead, not click volume, and I build campaigns meant to grow with your business, not run for a month and disappear.
I work best with local service businesses ready to invest seriously in lead generation and looking for a long-term partner, not a one-time setup.

Case study — $1,500 ad spend → $70,000+ in projects
Client: Thomas, Home Services · Salt Lake City, UT · Google Search Ads · $47/day budget · 30-day campaign
Thomas needed qualified leads from Google Ads while keeping costs under control — high-intent customers, not just clicks. I built a targeted Search campaign around high-converting keywords, location-specific targeting, conversion-focused ad copy, and ongoing bid optimization.
First lead — $2.23 total ad spend, within 24 hours of launch
Keyword performance — qualified local leads at a fraction of expected cost
Thomas expected a cost per lead of around $129. The first phone call lead actually came in after just $2.23 in ad spend. That call turned into a $3,600 project, and the same customer later returned with an additional ~$20,000 of work. About twelve days in, a second $3,600 project closed from another lead — who also brought repeat opportunities. Within the first month, the campaign generated a further $60,000 project.
Project value varies by industry, service type, and offer strength. Results are not guaranteed and may differ from case to case.

Frequently asked questions
What does a Google Ads expert do?
A Google Ads expert researches keywords, writes ad copy, sets up conversion tracking, manages bids and budget, filters out wasted clicks with negative keywords, and reports on results in plain language — so every dollar of ad spend is traceable to a lead or a sale.
Is hiring a Google Ads expert worth it for a local business?
Most local businesses running their own Google Ads waste a large share of their budget on the wrong keywords or broken conversion tracking. A specialist typically finds and fixes that waste within the first 30 to 60 days, often covering their own fee in the process.
How long does it take to see results from Google Ads?
Search campaigns can generate calls and form fills on the same day they go live. Most local service businesses see their first qualified leads within 24 to 48 hours, with cost-per-lead improving steadily over the first 60 to 90 days as data builds up.
How much does it cost to hire a Google Ads expert?
Freelance Google Ads management for a local business typically runs $300 to $1,500 per month, plus ad spend paid directly to Google. A one-time campaign setup with conversion tracking is usually a separate, smaller cost.
Do I need a big budget for Google Ads to work?
No. Google Ads can work with budgets as low as $300 to $500 per month for niche or local businesses in less competitive markets. A small budget managed well consistently outperforms a large budget managed poorly.
Will I own my Google Ads account?
Yes. The account is always created and kept under the client’s own Google account, with full owner-level access — so the business keeps complete control of its data and history, regardless of who manages day-to-day optimization.
Client reviews
“Set up tracking I didn’t even know I was missing. First lead came in far cheaper than I expected, and the reporting actually makes sense to me.”
“We had our first patient inquiry within 24 hours of the campaign going live. Everything was set up fast and the lead quality has been far better than before.”
“Was wasting money on broad match keywords for two years before this. Completely restructured our campaigns and calls doubled in three weeks.”
“Noticeable increase in website traffic and sales within a few months. I’d recommend this to any local business that wants real results from Google Ads.”
