Google Ads in Columbus
What it takes to win paid search in Columbus
Columbus growth is spread across many suburbs, so one citywide campaign rarely matches where your best customers live. I set up Dublin, Westerville, Hilliard and Grove City separately, compare cost per lead and move budget toward the areas that book. Large regional brands take the top spots for common terms, so narrower service phrases like 'sump pump installation' often perform better than broad ones.
The calendar drives most of the account. Heavy spring rain brings sump pump failures, so ads go live when storms are forecast and battery backup is offered as an add-on. Fall brings gutter cleaning in leafy neighborhoods like Clintonville and German Village, plus lawn aeration and overseeding. Around Ohio State, student rental turnover squeezes cleaning and repair demand into a few weeks when leases end, and ads follow that timing.

Problems I solve
Problems I fix in Google Ads accounts
Clicks but no calls
Usually broad keywords and missing tracking. I tighten both so spend follows real leads.
Ads showing in the wrong places
Loose location settings show ads far outside Columbus. I target only the areas you serve.
Paying for junk searches
Job seekers, DIY and price shoppers get blocked with negative keywords.
No idea what works
Without call tracking Google guesses. I set up tracking so every lead is counted.
Traffic sent to the homepage
A focused landing page per service turns more of the same clicks into calls.
Agency reports full of jargon
You get leads, cost per lead and what happens next. No impressions dashboards.
Search demand
Searches your Columbus customers type

Google Ads questions from Columbus business owners
How do I reach landlords and property managers near Ohio State?
Search ads for move-out cleaning, painting and repairs do well, along with a landing page built for managers that covers multi-unit work and fast turnaround. Run them in late spring and summer, when leases end, aimed at the campus-area ZIP codes.
Should lawn care ads mention aeration specifically?
Yes, in early fall. Homeowners searching 'lawn aeration' are ready to book and already know what they want, so those clicks tend to be worth more. A broader lawn care campaign can run alongside it in spring and summer.
Is a sump pump campaign worth running outside storm season?
A small one, yes. Failed pumps and new installs also come up during real estate inspections and after any wet spell. I keep a low-budget campaign running and scale it up when heavy rain is in the forecast.
How much should I spend on Google Ads in Columbus?
It depends on click costs for your trade and how many jobs you want. In the free audit I pull real keyword costs for Columbus and suggest a starting budget. You pay Google directly, with no markup from me.
How fast will I get leads?
Usually within the first one to two weeks after launch. The first month is about finding which searches bring the cheapest leads, then we scale those.
