New owners describe the same four problems. None of them is about being new at the trade. All of them are about being new to the people searching for it.
I just got my licence and nobody knows we exist.
Search ads can show the day the account is live. Reviews and a map ranking take months, so we start with the channel that does not need a history.
I don't have a website, just a Facebook page.
A Facebook page cannot hold a landing page or call tracking for Google Ads. The $700 website gives the ads somewhere to land that you own.
Someone quoted me $5,000 for a website before I have booked a job.
We build it for $700, SEO optimized and fast loading, and hosting is free while we run your ads.
I made a Google Business Profile and it never shows up.
A new profile has no reviews and no history. It is built and verified first, then left to earn reviews while the ads bring in the first jobs.
The order matters more than any single piece. A profile waits on Google's verification, the ads need a page to land on, and Local Services Ads wait on Google's screening. Started in the right order, nothing sits idle waiting for something else.
Built and submitted for verification first, because verification is the step you cannot hurry.
A page per service, call and form tracking, and local schema, SEO optimized and fast loading.
Business and competitor analysis, keyword research, conversion tracking, the campaign build and a landing page for each campaign.
Search ads do not need reviews to show, so the first calls come from here.
Profile, job types and service area, and the paperwork for Google's screening, where your trade is listed.
Starter packages bundle a website, a profile and ads into one round number, which makes it hard to see what each piece costs or to skip the one you already have. Here is ours, itemized.
| Piece | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Website | $700 one time | Full site, SEO optimized, fast loading. Free hosting while we run your Google Ads or Meta ads. |
| Google Business Profile | $200 one time | Built, submitted for verification and optimized: categories, services and service area. |
| Google Ads setup | $750 one time | Business and competitor analysis, keyword research, conversion tracking, campaign build, a landing page per campaign. |
| Local Services Ads setup | $300 one time | Profile, job types and service area, plus guidance through Google's screening. |
| Total to start | $1,950 | Then $795 a month for Google Ads management, or $995 with Local Services Ads. |
Prices published by Blue Grid Media on 12 October 2026. Ad spend is separate and billed by Google directly to you.
Google Ads management needs at least $2,500 a month in ad spend, paid to Google directly. Below that, the account sees too few clicks to show which searches book jobs, and our fee becomes most of what you spend.
If $2,500 a month is not there yet, start with the website and the Google Business Profile, $900 together, and add the ads when the budget is ready. We would rather tell you that on the first call than in month three.
Website and Google Business Profile, $900 together. Ads when the budget is ready.
$1,950 to set up, then $795 a month for Google Ads, or $995 with Local Services Ads.
The fee becomes 10% of ad spend, with Local Services Ads included.
A new business is the easiest one to lock in, because it has nothing to compare against. We do the opposite. The domain, the website, the Google Business Profile and every ad account are opened in the owner's name, and if you leave, you keep all of it.
No promise of a number of calls in your first month, because that depends on your trade, your market and your budget. No claim that a new profile will rank in the map pack by a date. We will show you the search volume for your trade and area on the first call instead.
A business starting from zero needs eight things in place before the first paid click is worth buying. These are the pieces, and what each one is for.
The website lists each job you take on its own page, so a search and a page match.
Most local searches happen on a phone, so the site is built to load quickly there.
Every call and form tracked from the first day, so the first month of ads teaches something.
The primary category and services set to the work you actually do.
Drawn to where you will drive, in the profile, the ads and Local Services Ads alike.
Google Ads split by the jobs you want, each with its own budget and keywords.
Built during the setup, so the click lands on the job it searched for.
Job types, service area and the paperwork for Google's screening, where your trade is listed.
If you cannot see what each piece costs, you cannot skip the one you already have.
Monthly website plans that keep the site if you leave turn your first marketing spend into a lease.
Your first year of call and conversion history is worth more than the site. It should be yours.
Without call and form tracking from the first day, the first month of spend teaches nothing.
Google screens a business before its Local Services Ads run, and the checks depend on the trade and the state: business registration, licences, insurance and background checks. For $300 we set up the profile, the job types and the service area, and walk you through what Google asks for. Once it runs, management is part of the Google Ads package: $995 a month for both.

Blue Grid Media provides exclusive contractor leads in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Dallas, Miami, Atlanta and Phoenix, and in roughly 50 United States metros in total, generated from a Google Ads account held in the client's own name rather than bought from a lead seller and shared, priced at $795 a month for Google Ads management on ad budgets from $2,500, and $995 with Local Services Ads added, month to month with no contract after a $750 setup.
$1,950 to start, itemized: website $700, Google Business Profile $200, Google Ads setup with landing pages $750, and Local Services Ads setup $300. Then Google Ads management is $795 a month on ad budgets from $2,500, or $995 with Local Services Ads. Month to month, no contract.
Google Ads needs a page to send the click to, and a page you own is the one worth paying for. We build the website for $700, and a landing page for each campaign during the $750 Google Ads setup.
Yes, if Google lists your trade and the business passes Google's screening, which can include registration, licences, insurance and background checks. Setup and guidance is $300, and management is part of the Google Ads package at $995 a month for both.
Start with the website and the Google Business Profile, $900 together, and add the ads when the budget is ready. Below $2,500 a month our fee would be most of what you spend.
Yes, for as long as we run your Google Ads or Meta ads. The website and the domain are yours either way.
Yes. Every price is listed separately for that reason. A business with a working website pays for the profile and the ads setup only.
Search ads can show as soon as the account is live, so the first calls usually come from Google Ads. Local Services Ads start after Google's screening, and the map pack takes longest because it relies on reviews. We will not promise a number of calls before we have seen your market.
You do. We open it in your name and it stays there, along with the landing pages, the call tracking numbers and the conversion history. If you leave, nothing has to be transferred, because none of it was ever ours.
We do not sell contractor leads and we do not resell them. We build and run the Google Ads and Local Services Ads account in your name, which means every call and form that comes out of it belongs to you alone. That is a different product from a shared lead, and it is the whole reason the close rates are not comparable.
We provide exclusive contractor leads in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Dallas, Miami, Atlanta and Phoenix, and in roughly 50 United States metros in total. Campaigns are managed remotely, so the market is set by where your crews work rather than where we sit.
Not on the list does not mean not covered. We run contractor accounts nationwide across the United States, including smaller and rural markets where the auction is usually cheaper than any metro above.
A new contractor usually has a phone number and a Facebook page. The $700 website gives the ads somewhere to land that you own, with a page per service, call tracking and free hosting while we run your ads.
Most local searches happen on a phone, so the page is built to load fast there. Faster pages convert more of the clicks you have already paid for.
Every call and form is connected to tracking from day one, so you can see which ads and which pages actually produce booked work rather than just traffic.
On-page SEO and local schema markup so the site earns map and organic visibility over time instead of only working while the ads are switched on.
Bring your trade, your service area and what you already have, even if that is only a phone number. Twenty minutes gives you which pieces you need, which you can skip, and what the ad budget should be. No charge.
