For Contractors in Towns With Less Than 150k Population

Google Ads management for contractors — run right, priced in the open.

We run managed Google Ads campaigns for contractors in towns under 150,000 people. Our pricing is published on this page — you can compute your fee before you ever call us. There are no long-term contracts, you own the ad account, and we build the landing pages too — the ad and the page it lands on are one job, done by one team.

20 minutes, on the phone, with the people who'd actually run your account. You leave with a full report on your market and your competitors — what it takes to beat them — whether you hire us or not. No pitch deck, no pressure.

What managed Google Ads means here

The ad and the landing page are one job

Most agencies run the ads and leave the page to you — so the click lands somewhere that doesn't match the search, and the money leaks out the bottom. We do both, on purpose.

Managed by a real person

A person who does this every day builds, watches, and adjusts your campaigns — bids, keywords, negatives, and search terms. Not a set-and-forget dashboard.

We build the landing page too

The page the ad lands on is built to match the search — the same team, so the ad and the page tell one story. That's what turns clicks into booked calls.

Every dollar tracked

Call tracking and spam-filtered form counts, shown to you monthly with the raw screens — so you know which keywords earn jobs and which just burn budget.

You own the account

The Google Ads account is created under your login and billed to your card. Your budget goes straight to Google. If you leave, the account stays with you.

Small markets are the edge

In towns under 150,000 the competition on Google Ads is thin, so the same ad dollars go a lot further. That's the whole reason we specialize here.

Pricing you can check

Our management fee is a published schedule — printed below. You can compute exactly what you'd pay before you talk to us. No custom quote games.

The published fee schedule

Pricing you can compute yourself

Our management fee works like tax brackets: each slice of your ad budget is billed at its own rate — and the rate drops as you grow.

The rate ladder
first $3,000/mo
35%
$3,000 – $6,000
28%
$6,000 – $10,000
22%
$10,000 – $20,000
16%
above $20,000
12%
whatever your budget
MINIMUM FEE — $750/MONTH
Each bar = our rate on that slice of your budget only. The staircase is the point: the more you grow, the smaller our cut of each new dollar.
What you'd actually pay
$1,500/mo budget
$750 minimum
$3,000/mo budget
$1,050
$5,000/mo budget
$1,610
$10,000/mo budget
$2,770
$20,000/mo budget
$4,370
Why brackets instead of a flat percentage?
  • We actively move your budget up and down based on the data — up when leads are cheap and you want more, down when you're booked solid.
  • For most of our clients those adjustments don't change the fee at all — the $750 minimum covers budgets up to about $2,100.
  • Above that, the declining brackets mean our cut of every additional dollar keeps shrinking — and the published schedule makes any fee change arithmetic you can check yourself.
We win by making your budget work harder — not by making it bigger.

Why small markets — from the founder
"I've been a contractor my whole life. I run Google Ads for tradesmen because in a small market the phone is easy to make ring — the competition is thin and almost nobody bids seriously against you. I publish the pricing because I got tired of watching contractors get quoted a different number every time. You should be able to see the fee, do the math, and know the ad account is yours before you ever get on a call with me."

HOW WE RUN IT

One team, one story

The ad → the landing page → the tracked call
  • We write the ad, build the page it lands on, and track the calls and forms it produces.
  • Because it's one team, the search, the ad copy, and the page all say the same thing — that scent-match is what keeps cost per lead down.
This is the same landing page you're reading now — built the way we build every client's.

BEST MARKETING COMPANY BY FAR!!! I’ve used 3 marketing companies before this one. These guys are the only ones that were transparent and delivered the results they promised. Every dime I spent with them has payed off and I highly recommend them. They refunded me when Google ads had a glitch and ate up $1400 of ad spend. They didn’t have to do that and I never would have noticed if they didn’t tell me themselves. Dino is especially nice to work with. Very responsive and his communication skills are great!

My experience with Adapt Digital Solution has been truly wonderful. Their honesty and commitment to quality have deeply impressed me. Having tried many marketing services before, I was cautious when I first partnered with Adapt Digital Solution, worried whether they would honor their promises. Fortunately, they exceeded my expectations and delivered excellent results for my company.

Adapt Digital Solutions has been the life blood of our business. We came to them during a transition from a previous agency that dropped the ball for us. Once we signed on, Chuck and Dino went straight to work getting our lead flow back up and running. The results have been amazing ever since. They are experts in the industry and we highly recommend them.

Chuck has an amazing attention to detail. The ads he creates are not only tailored for your business, the area you're trying to target and your ideal customer, but he also keeps track of the keywords that catch people's attention the most. Research is a very important part of his process, and he builds the campaigns on facts and statistics.

Chuck did a great job assessing my current marketing strategy, identifying where I should invest and then, literally, making it rain. Our marketing was anemic. Now we have more leads than we know what to do with. Meeting Chuck and implementing this strategy has been a game changer for my business.

Every number on this page has a real Google Ads account behind it. If you'd like to verify anything before you decide, we'll connect you with the clients themselves — and you can hear it straight from them.

The deal

Built so you can't lose sleep over it

Every term below exists because a contractor got burned by its opposite at some other agency.

You own the account

The Google Ads account, the landing page, the data, the phone numbers. Yours from day one. If you leave, it all stays with you. In writing.

No long-term contracts

Month-to-month. No 6-month minimum, no 90-day exit notice, no buyout. If the ads aren't earning the fee, fire us.

Published pricing

The whole management fee schedule is printed above. No custom quote, no different number every call — you compute it yourself.

$0 setup fee

We waive the $1,000–$1,500 setup cost. The cash-flow objection shouldn't be the reason your phone stays quiet.

How it works

Three steps. That's the whole thing.

1

A 20-minute phone call

You talk, we listen. No pitch deck, no pressure.

2

See exactly how to win your market

We show you who's running ads against you — and hand you the written plan to beat them, plus the fee, already computed.

3

Profit

Either we run the ads and build the page for you, or you keep the report and run it yourself. You win either way.

No fine print

Terms you can verify before you ever call us

The questions you'd actually ask about running Google Ads with us, answered in writing, in the open.

The question you'd askOur answer, in writing

Who owns the ad account?You do. It's created under your Google login, billed to your card, and it stays yours forever.

What do you count as success?Booked jobs — measured with call tracking and spam-filtered form counts, shown to you monthly with the raw screens, not a prettied-up dashboard.

  • Afterward you get the full written report. We've charged $1,500 for this exact report — it's yours free, whether you hire us or not.
  • We'll tell you honestly if your market or budget isn't a fit — we turn work down.
