Are Google Ads worth it for tradies?
Yes, when three things are true: the campaign only targets searches with buying intent, every call and form is tracked to a booked job (not just a click), and every lead is answered fast. Run that way, Google Ads is the highest-intent lead source a trade business can buy: ADV+ Painting went from zero online presence to a full pipeline in a quarter with Google Ads as a core channel of their Veblen engine.
Run badly (broad keywords, no negatives, leads ringing out), Google Ads is the fastest way to burn a budget. The auction doesn't forgive sloppiness. That's the whole reason to have it run by people who live in it.
How we run Google for trades.
01Intent only
Exact and phrase match on searches that mean money in your trade, with aggressive negative lists. No display remnants, no spray-and-pray.
02Landing pages that match
Ads land on pages built for the search, not your homepage: message match is half the conversion rate. See landing pages & CRO.
03Tracking to booked jobs
Calls, forms and bookings tracked through the CRM so budget decisions are made on jobs won, not clicks bought.
04Meta + Google together
Google captures demand; Meta creates it. The businesses that own their market run both in one engine. See Meta ads.

We use Veblen right across our Group of companies for all things marketing. I was initially so impressed with Zac and his team's thumb stopping ability. In a age where attention is a prime currency, Velblen are certainly one leaders I've come across in my experience...
Luke Vaughan · Google reviewGoogle Ads questions.
How much should a tradie spend on Google Ads?
Enough to matter in your auction, not a dollar more than your crew can service. For most trades that's $1,500 to $10,000/month depending on area and competition. We size it on a call against your capacity and the real CPCs in your trade.
What does a lead from Google Ads cost for a trade business?
It varies hard by trade: emergency trades pay more per click but convert at much higher rates. We'll show you the live auction numbers for your trade and suburb on a strategy call rather than quote a fantasy average.
Google Ads or Facebook ads for a tradie: which first?
Google captures people already searching for your trade; Meta creates demand and builds your name. Urgent-need trades usually start Google-first; consideration purchases lean Meta-first. The full answer depends on your trade, and we'll give it to you straight.
Do you lock me into a contract for ad management?
Partnership engines run a three-month minimum, long enough for the data to compound.
What is a missed lead costing you?
