Google Ads for UK trades

Google Ads for tradesmen, measured in booked jobs

We only run Google Ads on a website we've built, so every click lands on a page made to win the job. Then we track every enquiry through to the booking, and teach Google to find you more of them.

Available with a Lead Wave website.

The page the ad sends people to: a roofing page on a phone with a WhatsApp button

Website first

Ads only work as well as the page they land on

Most Google Ads money is wasted after the click: a slow page, a homepage instead of the job they searched for, or nobody knowing which ad brought the call. That's why we only run ads on a site we've built and can measure.

Fast on a phone

Most searches for a tradesperson happen on a phone. Your page loads quickly, so you don't pay for clicks that give up waiting.

The page matches the search

Someone searching "flat roof repair" lands on your flat roof page, not your homepage, with proof from real customers.

Every enquiry counted

Calls, WhatsApps and forms are all tracked back to the search that brought them, so no enquiry goes unrecorded.

How it works

From search to booked job, and back to Google

Most agencies report clicks. We follow every enquiry to the job, then tell Google which searches brought real work, so it finds you more people like them.

  1. Someone searches"Roofer near me" or "resin driveway cost" in your area.
  2. Lands on your pageThe page for that job, fast and full of real proof.
  3. Gets in touchBy call, WhatsApp or form. They get an instant text in your name.
  4. Becomes a jobYou mark it quoted or booked in your lead app with one tap.
  5. Google learnsWe tell Google which searches became jobs, so your budget follows the work.

Always improving

A system that learns every week

Behind your ads runs a system that checks, tests and improves them on a schedule. Nick signs off every important change, so nothing changes without a person checking it.

Your area is a list of towns, agreed in writing. We'll never run Google Ads for another business in your trade there, so we're never bidding against you for your own customers.

Questions

Before you ask

Anything else, ask Nick on WhatsApp.

How much does it cost?

It depends on your trade and your area. Message Nick and he'll give you the full price on WhatsApp straight away, along with what your area needs in ad spend. Your ad spend is separate and paid straight to Google.

Why do I need a Lead Wave website?

Because we can't promise results on a page we can't measure or improve. Every ad needs a fast page for the job someone searched for, with tracking we can trust. See websites for tradesmen.

Do you take a percentage of my ad spend?

No. You pay Google directly from your own account. Our fee is separate, so we never earn more just because you spend more.

Who owns the Google Ads account?

You do. It's in your name and on your card. If you ever leave, you keep the account, its history and everything it's learned.

Is there a contract?

3 months to start, because that's how long Google takes to learn what works in your area. After that it's month to month with 30 days' notice, and no exit fee.

How soon will I get enquiries?

Google usually reviews new ads within a business day, and they can bring enquiries as soon as they're running. The bigger gains come over the first weeks, as the system learns which searches turn into jobs.

Do you guarantee jobs?

No, and be wary of anyone who does. Whether an enquiry becomes a job also depends on your price and how fast you reply. What we promise is the work, the tracking and an honest report.

Do you record calls?

Yes. Callers hear a short message first, and recordings are kept for a set time so you can listen back and check what came in.

Should I run Facebook ads or Google Ads?

They catch different people. Google catches people searching right now; Facebook ads reach people who've been putting a job off. Many trades do best with both.
