Why Google Ads benefit Tradesmen
Tradesmen use Google Ads to gain instant visibility and attract high-intent customers. Unlike SEO, which takes time, Google Ads places businesses at the top of search results immediately, targeting users actively searching for their products or services.
It’s also cost-effective and measurable, with a pay-per-click (PPC) model ensuring businesses only pay for actual engagement. Real-time analytics allow for performance tracking and campaign adjustments, making it a powerful tool for driving leads, sales, and brand awareness efficiently.
Did you know? While average Click-Through-Rates for banner ads are around 0.2% to 0.3%, individual search ads on Google can achieve CTRs of up to 10%
