High-Intent Google Ads for Tradies That Stop Wasting Your Ad Spend
Fill Your Work Calendar With Profitable Jobs Starting This Week.
Most tradies who try Google Ads burn through $1,500 in a fortnight paying for accidental clicks, DIY searchers looking for advice, or tyre-kickers asking for free quotes. We manage high-performance Google Ads campaigns built specifically for trade businesses. Using strict negative keyword shields, exact geographic boundaries, and dedicated call-optimized landing pages, we ensure every advertising dollar targets ready-to-book jobs.

Frequently Asked Questions: Google Ads for Tradies
How much should a tradie spend on Google Ads per month?
Most solo tradies and small trade teams start with an ad spend between $1,000 and $2,500 per month. Because average job values for trades range from $500 to $5,000+, booking just two or three jobs typically covers the entire monthly campaign cost.
How do you prevent wasted ad budget on Google Ads?
We implement hundreds of pre-researched negative keywords (blocking terms like "free", "course", "apprentice", "manual", "cheap"), use exact-match and phrase-match keywords, and eliminate broad-match waste.
Do I pay Google directly for the ads?
Yes. You pay Google directly via your own credit card for transparent ad spend, and pay us a flat monthly management fee. You retain 100% ownership of your Google Ads account.
