Keep Lafayette Google Ads focused on qualified work.

Separate residential service intent from visitor appointments and commercial purchasing. The landing page should explain the offer, accepted job locations and response requirements so staff can distinguish a suitable inquiry from a request that belongs elsewhere.

What our Lafayette, Indiana Google Ads work includes

A paid search campaign built to generate calls and leads.

Keyword research and campaign structure

Organize campaigns around the services, searches and locations that matter most. Match the structure to your budget and the work your team can actually take on.

Search terms and negative keywords

Review the searches spending your money. Add negative keywords and refine targeting to reduce irrelevant clicks and protect the budget for better opportunities.

Ad copy and testing

Write clear ads that match the customer’s search and your offer. Test useful variations without changing so many things at once that the result becomes hard to understand.

Location, schedule and device targeting

Focus campaigns around your service area, operating hours and customer behavior. Adjust reach when the business evidence supports it.

Landing pages and conversion improvements

Send each important search to a page that answers the same need. Make calls, quote requests and booking actions easy to find and use on a phone.

Conversion tracking and plain-English reporting

Configure useful call and form actions, review campaign performance and connect the advertising report with the lead quality your team sees.

The work, the fit and the tradeoffs

Make paid search accountable to the work you want.

Start with intent and service area

We align search campaigns with the services you sell and the places your team can cover. Query selection, exclusions and negative keywords help avoid paying for unrelated searches. Household service calls and commercial quote requests may need different campaigns.

Connect the ad to the right next step

A specific ad needs a page that answers the same customer need. We review offer wording, mobile contact paths and the information needed to qualify an inquiry rather than sending every visitor to a generic homepage.

Use a budget the business can support

Media spend pays the advertising platform; management fees pay for campaign work. They are separate costs. We discuss the service mix, available budget and lead handling before recommending allocation. Population or festival attendance cannot predict campaign returns.

Improve from search terms and lead feedback

Conversion tracking needs validation, and recorded calls or forms still need a quality review. We use search terms, campaign results and your feedback to refine targeting and spending. Click-through rate is engagement, not a lead or sales result.

Can you use an existing ad account?

We review the existing campaigns, tracking and account access before recommending changes. Your campaigns and the work produced for you remain yours.

Does a campaign launch guarantee immediate leads?

No. Launch is the start of measurement and refinement. Search demand, competition, the offer, budget and follow-up all affect the result.

questions, answered.

Something else on your mind?
That’s what the conversation is for.

Ask us

How should we separate industrial quotes from household work?

Use service terms and pages that explain each scope. A technical quote may need site requirements and a staff conversation; a household request usually needs a shorter address and job check.

Should we exclude every Purdue-related search?

Review actual search terms and the offer first. An admissions or employment request may be irrelevant to a service campaign, while a visit-based business may have a suitable offer. Exclusions should follow observed fit.

How do we choose cross-river campaign coverage?

Use the job addresses you accept and the time staff can spend fulfilling them. Review city-specific inquiries and booked work before adding locations.

How do you choose a starting budget?

We agree on a bounded test using service value, coverage and response capacity. Actual campaign data informs changes rather than population or university counts.

What matters besides clicks?

Suitable calls and forms, staff follow-up and booked work matter. Feedback about scope and address mismatches helps refine terms, locations and landing pages.

Do you require a long-term contract?

No. Heart City Marketing does not require a six- or twelve-month service contract. We explain the work and cost so you can decide whether the ongoing partnership serves your business.

Who owns our website and advertising accounts?

The website, ad accounts, creative and work produced for your business remain yours. We can build on what you already own and keep the handoff clear if you decide to change direction.
