Google Ads for Houston service businesses that need to reach Katy, Pearland or The Woodlands without paying for clicks two hours away in traffic. I set up campaigns by side of town and keep storm-season ads ready before the first forecast.
Greater Houston is so large that a single radius makes no sense. I build separate campaigns for the west side around Katy and Cypress, the north side around The Woodlands, and the south side around Pearland and Sugar Land, each with a landing page that names those areas. That keeps drive times sensible and shows which side of town gives you the best jobs.
Storms change the auction quickly. After hurricanes and flash floods, searches for water damage, flood cleanup and mold jump, and national franchises and out-of-town crews crowd the ads. I prepare storm campaigns before June, with your local address, license and emergency hours in the copy, so they can go live for affected ZIP codes while calls are still coming. Summer AC searches get their own schedule and budget.

I review your current account or, if you are new to ads, the Houston search market for your trade.
We decide which areas to cover, for example Katy and The Woodlands, and which to exclude.
Call tracking, form tracking and GA4 go in before any budget is spent.
Tight ad groups per service, buyer-intent keywords, ads and extensions.
The first weeks show which searches bring the cheapest leads. Waste gets cut fast.
Search-term cleanup, bid and budget changes and ad tests, with a monthly report.
Usually broad keywords and missing tracking. I tighten both so spend follows real leads.
Loose location settings show ads far outside Houston. I target only the areas you serve.
Job seekers, DIY and price shoppers get blocked with negative keywords.
Without call tracking Google guesses. I set up tracking so every lead is counted.
A focused landing page per service turns more of the same clicks into calls.
You get leads, cost per lead and what happens next. No impressions dashboards.
In your audit I pull real search volume and costs for your trade.
Houston is too big for one generic page. I build websites for AC, restoration and generator companies that name the suburbs you actually reach, like Katy, Pearland and The Woodlands, and stay fast on a phone when a storm has knocked half the signal out.

Usually yes. Generator buyers search differently from people with an emergency, and the jobs are larger and planned. A separate campaign lets you bid on whole-home generator searches in Sugar Land or The Woodlands without taking budget from urgent repair calls.
Only if the drive is worth it for the job size. Inner-loop traffic can eat an afternoon, so I'd start with suburbs near your base, such as Cypress and Katy, and add The Heights for larger jobs once your cost per call is clear.
It depends on click costs for your trade and how many jobs you want. In the free audit I pull real keyword costs for Houston and suggest a starting budget. You pay Google directly, with no markup from me.
Usually within the first one to two weeks after launch. The first month is about finding which searches bring the cheapest leads, then we scale those.
