PPC in Contra Costa — frequently asked
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.
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.
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.
