The problem with most paid ads

Clicks aren’t customers

Without precise tuning, contractors overspend thousands a month on low-converting click volume — and most agencies report it as a win. We eliminate that waste at both ends: strict intent-based campaign architecture up front, and audited 1–5 star lead scoring on the back end.

  • Fund real intentBuying-indicator keywords only — no DIY or job-seeker traffic.
  • Convert the traffic you buyConversion-first landing pages, not a generic homepage.
  • Audit every leadleadIQ scores and attributes each one to the exact ad asset.

Capture active demand

Catch buyers at the exact moment of need

Google Ads puts you in front of prospects the instant they have a critical property need — but without precise tuning, contractors burn thousands a month on low-converting clicks. We pair strict intent-based architecture with conversion-optimized landing pages.

  • High-intent keyword focus

    We fund buying-indicator phrases like “emergency plumber near me,” not generic or DIY queries.

  • Negative keyword modeling

    Extensive filtering keeps your ads off job-seeker, vendor and training searches that drain budget.

  • Neighborhood ring-fencing

    Radius targeting concentrates spend on the premium suburbs where your trucks already run.

LSA · real-world outcomes

Why Local Services Ads succeed or fail

LSA rank is tied directly to your live operational behavior. The difference between the top slot and total suppression comes down to two habits.

The blueprint for success

Roofing contractor · top slot

Launched LSA with Triton’s optimization support — and built the operational habits Google rewards.

  • Office answers every inbound LSA call within two rings
  • Field crew texts automated review requests the moment a job wraps
  • Fresh five-star reviews every week keep review velocity high
  • Result: pushed to the top slot at an efficient cost per lead
The anatomy of a failure

HVAC company · suppressed

Launched LSA independently, with no agency managing the operational signals Google watches.

  • Calls routed to an unmonitored voicemail during peak hours
  • Stagnant review profile relying on reviews written years ago
  • Dropped calls + no review velocity → Google suppresses visibility
  • Billed for out-of-scope leads with no one adjusting targeting

Paid Ads FAQ

Paid advertising questions

How Triton runs Google Search, Facebook Social and LSA — and audits every lead with leadIQ.

Talk to a strategist
How do you stop me from wasting ad budget?

Two ways. First, architecture: we fund only high-intent, buying-indicator keywords and use extensive negative-keyword modeling to keep your ads off job-seeker, vendor and DIY searches. Second, measurement: through leadIQ, every lead is scored 1–5, so you can see which campaigns produce real quote requests versus noise — and shift budget in real time.

What’s the difference between Google Search, Facebook, and LSA?

Google Search captures people actively looking for your service right now (pay-per-click). Facebook creates demand by putting trust-building brand creative in front of targeted local homeowners (demand generation). LSA is a pay-per-lead channel that places you at the very top under a Google Guaranteed badge. We run them together so you capture active demand, stimulate new demand, and hold the top slot.

How does leadIQ scoring work across paid channels?

Every lead from any channel that sends UTM parameters — Paid Search, Paid Social, Organic SEO, and even AI-engine referrals from ChatGPT or Gemini — is automatically graded on a 1-to-5 star Quality Score based on real buying intent. Five stars is verified, high-value quote intent; one star is operational noise like spam and wrong numbers. You judge campaign quality at a glance instead of counting raw form fills.

Why can’t LSA leads show up in leadIQ?

Google runs LSA as a strictly closed, pay-per-lead ecosystem on its own infrastructure. That means LSA leads can’t be funneled into leadIQ, tracked via external UTM parameters, or graded by our AI scoring engine. We’re transparent about it — LSA is still a strong channel, but its reporting lives inside Google’s platform, and we manage that for you directly.

Do landing pages really matter that much?

Enormously. Dropping paid traffic onto a generic homepage is where budget dies. We route clicks to conversion-first service pages with above-the-fold click-to-call and “Get a Quote” CTAs, real craftsmanship photography, reviews and brand certifications — so you convert more of the traffic you’re already paying for.

What does full attribution actually require?

The complete tritonIQ stack. callIQ tracks phone leads with dynamic numbers, leadIQ tracks form and email leads, and conversationIQ captures live chat and SMS. Together they capture every omnichannel touchpoint down to the exact keyword or ad asset — feeding verified, last-click attribution into each lead profile.
