Why ads underperform

Most wasted ad spend has the same few causes


Google makes it easy to start spending and hard to know what you got for it. These are the problems we fix first.

No conversion tracking

If calls, forms, and sales aren't tracked, Google's bidding is optimizing for clicks instead of customers, and you can't tell which ads pay for themselves.

Paying for the wrong searches

Loose keyword settings match your ads to searches that will never buy. Without regular search-term reviews and negative keywords, that waste adds up every day.

Sending clicks to the home page

A visitor who searched for one specific service should land on a page about that service, with a clear way to call or book. Otherwise you pay for the click and lose the customer.

Set it and forget it

Costs, competitors, and Google's own features change constantly. An account nobody watches slowly drifts toward higher costs and fewer results.

How we help you succeed

A clear system for profitable ads


Measure what matters

We set up conversion tracking for calls, forms, bookings, and sales before spending a dollar, so every decision is based on real results.

Reach ready buyers

Campaigns built around the searches your best customers actually make, in the areas you serve, at the hours you can answer.

Write ads that earn the click

Clear, specific ad copy and assets that match each search, tested against each other so the best message wins.

Land on the right page

We point each campaign at the most relevant page and recommend fixes that turn more visitors into calls. Need a new page? Our web team builds them.

Improve every week

Search-term reviews, negative keywords, bid and budget adjustments, and ad tests on a regular schedule, not once a quarter.

Report in plain English

A monthly report showing what you spent, what it brought in, and what we're changing next. No jargon and no vanity metrics.

Why Mr. Blue Skies

Agency-level care without agency prices


Google Ads management typically runs $300 to $1,000 a month from a freelancer for small budgets and $1,500 to $3,000 a month from a boutique agency once you spend $2,500 or more, often with setup fees of $1,000 to $5,000.

We publish our prices, keep setup at $750, and stay at the friendly end of the market at every budget level.

Market ranges from Linear (May 2026), with WebFX and OuterBox pricing guides (September 2026). See the comparison.

Your account, your data

The Google Ads account is created in your name and you pay Google directly. If you ever leave, everything stays with you.

No markup on ad spend

Our fee is a flat, published price. It doesn't grow when you spend more within your plan, so our advice is never about making you spend more.

Ads and website under one roof

The same team that runs your ads can build the landing pages, fix the website, and handle SEO. Visit our main site.
