FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Below are the questions notary and paralegal services ask most often before hiring a paid ads agency. Each answer reflects how Foundgrove approaches helping US service businesses win qualified leads from search and AI.
How much should a service business budget for Google Ads?
Plan for at least $5,000/month in ad spend so campaigns gather enough conversion data to optimize; below that, learning is slow and unreliable. Our management fee starts at $3,500/month on top of spend. Higher-cost-per-click verticals like legal or HVAC usually need more spend to compete. We forecast realistic CPL ranges before you commit a dollar, and the engagement is month-to-month with no minimum or lock-in.
How do you track leads from ads when sales cycles are long?
We deploy GA4 with enhanced conversions, server-side tracking via GTM, and offline conversion imports from your CRM, so a closed deal weeks later still ties back to the ad that started it. For long-consideration purchases we set up data-driven attribution and customer-journey reporting, and you watch spend, leads, qualified leads, and booked calls in a live dashboard updated daily rather than a monthly PDF.
Google Ads vs Meta vs LinkedIn — which should we run first?
For most service businesses we recommend starting with Google Search, because it captures buyers actively searching for what you offer — the highest intent, fastest to a booked call. Meta and LinkedIn work well as a second channel for demand generation and retargeting once Search is profitable. We recommend a channel mix based on your audience, average customer value, and sales cycle, not a one-size-fits-all template.
How fast do paid ads produce leads?
Paid ads can produce leads within days of launch, which is their main advantage over SEO, but it usually takes 2-4 weeks of optimization to stabilize cost-per-qualified-lead as the campaigns learn. Build and launch typically run 2-3 weeks beforehand. We monitor daily for the first 14 days, then move to weekly optimization. If we cannot prove ROI within 90 days, we will tell you honestly and recommend pausing the channel.
Do I keep my ad account, campaigns, and data?
Yes, fully. We build inside your own Google Ads and Meta Business accounts, so every campaign, conversion history, and audience belongs to you and stays with you if you ever leave. We never lock work inside agency-owned accounts or proprietary tools. Because the engagement is month-to-month with no minimum or lock-in, you can cancel anytime and walk away with all of your assets and learning data intact.
