The channel stack that wins emergency jobs
Local Services Ads (Google Guaranteed / Screened) first: they sit above the Search results, charge per lead and win trust instantly. We handle license and insurance verification, review velocity, service area and job type configuration, and dispute wrong-number or out-of-area leads every week so you don't pay for junk.
Then high-intent Search: 'AC repair near me', 'emergency plumber', 'roof leak repair', 'water heater replacement'. Call-only campaigns during business hours, radius bidding by profitable ZIP codes, and negative keyword lists that block DIY, parts, jobs and warranty searches. Performance Max only after conversion data exists, never as the starting point.
