Service 03 / Websites

Google Ads landing pages for service businesses.

Your ads are working. Your landing page isn't. If your cost per lead keeps climbing and your ad manager says the account is fine, the account probably is fine. The problem is usually what happens after the click.

What this service does

Much of a Google Ads budget can be lost after the click, not before it. The three most common causes are sending ad traffic to a homepage instead of a matched landing page, asking for too much information in the form, and conversion tracking that counts things which are not leads.

The friction

Where the money actually goes

  1. Your ads point at your homepage

    Someone searches for one specific thing, clicks, and lands on a page about your company and six services. They wanted one thing. Now they have to find it.

  2. The form asks for too much

    Every field you add costs you submissions. A cold visitor who clicked ninety seconds ago will not fill in twelve fields or choose a budget range.

  3. The phone number isn't tappable

    On mobile, where most of this traffic is, a number that is not a link is a dead end.

  4. The page is slow

    This costs twice. Visitors leave, and the ad gets weaker: landing page experience is one of the things Google weighs when it judges ad quality at auction time, and lower ad quality can mean a worse position or a higher price for the same one.

  5. You're counting the wrong conversions

    If a page view or a phone tap that never connected is counted as a conversion, the algorithm optimises toward the wrong thing, and it gets very good at producing more of it.

The scope

What a landing page from us includes

Defined before work starts. Documented when we hand it over.

  1. 01A page per campaign or service, matched to what the ad promised
  2. 02One offer, one action. No navigation menu competing for the click
  3. 03A short form: name, phone, website or address, and what they need
  4. 04Tap-to-call fixed on mobile, visible without scrolling
  5. 05Speed as a requirement, not an aspiration, measured before launch
  6. 06Conversion tracking verified before you spend, not diagnosed after
  7. 07Call tracking so a phone lead is attributed like a form lead
  8. 08Proof placed where the objection happens, not in a slider at the bottom

How we think about it

Message match, and why it does most of the work

01

The single biggest gain is usually the least technical: the headline on the page should say what the ad said.

02

Someone who searches "flat roof repair" and clicks an ad about flat roof repair should land on a page whose first line is about flat roof repair. Not "Quality Roofing Since 2009."

03

It sounds obvious. It is also the most common thing missing, because most accounts point every ad group at one page.

04

Google weighs landing page experience when it judges ad quality in each auction, and ad quality affects both position and price. Quality Score is the diagnostic that shows where you stand; it is not itself an input to the auction. We build these pages static, which is why they load the way they do.

Questions

Do I need to pause my campaigns while you do this?

No. We build the new page alongside what is running, verify tracking on it, then switch traffic over. Nothing goes dark.

How do I know it's the website and not the ads?

That is what the audit answers. If your click-through rate is healthy and your conversion rate is low, the problem is after the click. If nobody is clicking, it is the ads, and we will tell you that, because it is not the work we are proposing here.

Can you work with my current ads manager?

Yes, and it is often the right arrangement. They run the account, we handle the page and the tracking. It removes the argument about whose fault it is, because the tracking makes it answerable.

How many landing pages do I need?

Usually one per service you advertise, sometimes one per campaign. Not one per keyword: that produces dozens of thin pages nobody maintains.

What if my tracking is already set up?

We check it. It is frequently wrong in ways that are not obvious from inside the Ads interface, which is why the audit starts there.
