Google Ads Setup & Management for Louisville Small Businesses

The end state is simple: your ads show up for the searches that actually bring you customers, the wasted clicks get cut, and you can finally trust the numbers in the account. I set it up, I manage it, and I tell you straight when ads are not your best move.

What you actually get

Two pieces, priced separately so you only pay for what you need. Setup gets the account built right. Management keeps it sharp month after month. Here is exactly what each one covers.

Google Ads Setup

A one-time build so your account starts on solid ground instead of guesswork.

Set up your Google Ads account from scratch or clean up the one you have
Build your initial campaigns around real local and product intent
Configure conversion tracking so every read is based on real signal, not vanity clicks

Ongoing Management

Hands-on work every month so the account keeps earning its keep.

Ongoing campaign management and optimization
Cut spend on searches that were never going to convert
Plain-English reporting so you know what is working and why

One Point Of Contact

You talk to me, Hunter. I do the strategy and the work. No account managers, no ticket system, no hand-offs to someone who has never seen your account.

Local-Business Focus

I build for Louisville and Kentucky small businesses, not national brands with seven-figure budgets. The campaigns are scoped to win you customers in your service area, not to spend for the sake of spending.

How the pricing works

No mystery, no minimum I will not name. Setup is one-time. Management is monthly and you can stop with 30 days notice. Your ad budget is its own separate thing.

Setup: $400 one-time

I set up the Google Ads account, build your initial campaigns, and configure conversion tracking. You end up with an account that is built to measure real results from day one.

Management: $300/month or 12% of ad spend, whichever is higher

Ongoing campaign management, optimization, and reporting. The percentage only kicks in once your monthly spend is large enough that the percentage fee beats the flat fee, so smaller accounts stay at the flat rate.

This is my fee for managing the account. Your ad budget is separate and goes straight to Google. You set that number, and I help you pick one that makes sense for your business.

Month to month, no long-term contracts, on a simple service agreement. I would rather keep your account because the ads are working than because you are locked in.

Ads are often one piece of a bigger mess. If you want them handled inside ongoing monthly operations work (products, listings, tracking, and your Google profile too), that is online operations support, and ad management is included there for typical local budgets.

Who this is not for

Ads are not always the right first dollar, and I will not take a setup fee for a campaign that is going to burn money. If any of these sound like you, call me and I will point you to a better starting point before you spend anything on clicks.

Your conversion tracking is broken

If the account cannot tell which clicks turn into customers, more spend just buys you more confusion. Fix the tracking first, then scale the ads. That order saves you money.

You have no website, or a broken one

Ads send paid clicks to a page. If that page is missing, slow, or broken, you are paying Google to deliver people to a leaky bucket. Start with the site. My Website Rescue diagnostic is $250 and a good first look.

Free local visibility would do the job

If local search and a well-run Google Business Profile would get you found without paying per click, that is usually the better first dollar. Look at local SEO or a Google Business Profile setup before ads.

Tiny budget, expensive keywords

If the searches you need to win cost more per click than your budget can absorb, ads will quietly drain the account without much to show for it. I will tell you that straight rather than take the setup fee.

You need a full multi-channel agency

I run Google Ads. I am not a multi-channel ads agency, so Meta, LinkedIn, and other non-Google channels are out of scope. For work bigger than that, I can point you to my partner, Sideways Studio.

Real example: Preslar's Western Shop

Active retail and ecommerce client

An ad account on autopilot and reports nobody trusted

Preslar's had an ad account running on autopilot and reports nobody trusted. I audited the account structure and conversion setup, restructured campaigns around real local and product intent, cut spend on searches that were never going to convert, and rebuilt conversion tracking so the numbers finally meant something.

The work also clarified what is actually fixable, what is blocked by the platform, and what should happen before more ad spend gets scaled up. That is the kind of straight read I want every account to start from.

Common questions

How much does Google Ads management cost?

Setup is $400 one-time. Management is $300/month or 12% of ad spend, whichever is higher. That is my fee for running the account. Your ad budget is separate and goes straight to Google.

Is my ad budget included in that price?

No. The management fee covers my work on the account. What you spend with Google is separate, and you set that budget. I will help you pick a number that makes sense, then keep it working as hard as it can.

Is there a long-term contract?

No long-term contracts. Management is month to month on a simple service agreement, with 30 days notice if you ever want to stop. I would rather keep your account because it is working than because you are locked in.

How do I know if Google Ads is even right for my business?

Call or text me and tell me what you sell and roughly what you can spend. If your conversion tracking is broken or you have no real landing page, fix that first. Sometimes local SEO or your Google Business Profile is the better first dollar, and I will tell you straight rather than take a setup fee for ads that will not pay off.

Do you manage Facebook or other ad platforms?

I focus on Google Ads. I am not a multi-channel ads agency, so Meta, LinkedIn, and other non-Google channels are out of scope. If a job is bigger than that, I can point you to my partner, Sideways Studio, instead of pretending to do it all.

Who actually runs my account?

I do, directly. No account managers, no ticket system, no hand-offs. You call or text me, and the person who answers is the person doing the strategy and the work.

Alright, Louisville,

Thinking about running Google Ads?

Tell me what you sell and roughly what you can spend. I will tell you straight whether ads are your best next dollar, even if the honest answer is not yet.
