PPC in Contra Costa — frequently asked

How much should I spend on Google Ads in Contra Costa County?

Most Contra Costa SMBs start at $2,000–$8,000/month in ad spend. Below $1,500/month makes it hard to gather enough data to optimize. Service businesses (HVAC, plumbing, roofing, dental) usually scale to $5k–$25k/month once cost per lead is stable.

Google Ads or Local Service Ads — which should I run first?

If you're a local service business eligible for LSAs (HVAC, plumbing, roofing, electrical, locksmiths, etc.), start with Local Service Ads — they're pay-per-lead and dominate the top of the page. Layer Google Ads search underneath for terms LSAs don't cover.

How fast do PPC campaigns produce leads?

Google Ads usually generates leads within the first 1–2 weeks. The first 30 days are tuning — adjusting keywords, negatives, bids, and landing pages. By day 60 most accounts have a stable, defendable cost per qualified lead.
