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?.”
