Project context

The starting point.

Florida Handyman Service provides residential painting and home improvement services across South Florida. The client wanted to increase the number of qualified painting enquiries from homeowners within selected ZIP codes while working with a limited advertising budget. The company approached our Google Ads agency after previous campaigns had generated very few leads despite ongoing ad spend. The project included Google Ads management, Google Analytics 4, conversion tracking, and landing page improvements to create a reliable lead generation system focused on measurable business outcomes.

The challenge

Budget spent without enough qualified leads.

Previous Google Ads campaigns were consuming budget without producing enough qualified enquiries. The client needed a more efficient approach that would attract homeowners actively searching for residential painting services instead of generating low-quality traffic. Simply rebuilding the campaigns would not have been enough. The landing pages also required improvements to encourage more visitors to contact the business. Since the advertising budget was limited, every click needed to have the highest possible chance of becoming a lead.

The solution

ZIP-targeted campaigns and a rebuilt landing experience.

The project started with keyword research and competitor analysis to understand how homeowners search for residential painting services across South Florida. Campaigns were geographically targeted to selected ZIP codes, ensuring the budget was focused only on areas served by the business. Google Search campaigns were built around high-intent residential painting keywords using a tightly organised campaign structure. Responsive Search Ads incorporated relevant commercial search terms, clear value propositions, strong calls to action, and messaging designed to encourage homeowners to request a free estimate. To improve conversion rates, we updated the landing pages by simplifying the layout, strengthening calls to action, improving page structure, and introducing a fixed header that made it easier for visitors to contact the company at any point during their visit. We also implemented Google Analytics 4 and conversion tracking to measure both website enquiry forms and phone calls. This provided complete visibility into campaign performance and ensured every optimisation decision was based on measurable business data. Following launch, the campaigns were continuously refined through search term analysis, bid adjustments, negative keyword management, and ongoing Google Ads management to improve lead quality while maintaining an efficient cost per lead.
