    “If you’re 4 months into it and only getting ~2 leads/day even after going from $100 -> $500/day, it’s not a maturity issue; it’s a structure or market cap issue.

    When it comes to local service businesses like plumbing/garage work/locksmithing, volume does not magically increase with time. It only increases with:
    • Impression share
    • Ad rank
    • Coverage (match types + geo)

    I’ve had clients stuck at 3 leads/day at $150/day. I’ve been able to get them 8-10 leads/day within 30 days by working on the structure and bidding. Same city.

    If you’re not getting a significant increase in volume after going from a budget 5x, you’re probably capped by search demand or losing impression share to rank.

    What’s your impression share and impression share lost to rank?.”
