Channel Reality Check
Whether Google Ads, Meta, or both make sense for your Jacksonville business — based on your actual margin, your sales cycle, and the search volume behind your real keywords, not a generic recommendation.
Paid Advertising · Jacksonville FL
Paid Advertising
Jacksonville.
For Jacksonville and St. Johns County businesses. Google Ads, Maps ads, and Meta campaigns — built around the website and GBP that actually hold the lead when it lands. Flat monthly management, no percentage-of-spend fees.
What's in it
What the ads audit covers.
Google Ads Audit
Search and Maps campaigns audited against the live auction: wasted spend, weak headlines, broken conversion tracking, and the negative keywords bleeding your monthly budget.
Landing Page Match
The honest call on whether your current site can hold a paid click or whether the campaign needs a dedicated landing page — and the page structure that turns paid traffic into booked calls.
Monthly Spend & Reporting
A monthly spend floor that protects you from casually running an account that costs more than the leads it brings, and a one-page monthly report your CFO can actually read.
How it works
Three steps. No long contract.
01
Pre-call intake
Send your business URL and any existing ad accounts. We spend 30 minutes pulling live Jacksonville auction data, your GBP, and your top three paid competitors before the call.
02
Working session
60 minutes on Zoom or at our Fruit Cove office. We walk through the channel reality check, the audit findings, and the monthly spend floor with your owner or marketing lead in the room.
03
Written plan
Within 48 hours you get a one-pager with the channel call (Google, Meta, both, or neither yet), the audit findings, and the flat monthly management quote if you want us to run it.
FAQ
Common questions.
Is this the same as your Local SEO work?
Different layer. Local SEO is your GBP, your website, your citations, and your reviews — the free channels. Paid advertising is Google Ads, Maps, and Meta on top of that. The audit covers both and tells you which one your business actually needs first.
Do you manage the campaigns after the audit?
Yes — at a flat monthly fee, not a percentage of spend. The audit is a one-time engagement; ongoing management is a separate flat quote that depends on the channels and the volume you're actually running.
What's a realistic monthly ad spend for a Jacksonville small business?
Honest answer: it depends on your category and your margin, but most Jacksonville service businesses we work with spend between $1,500 and $6,000 a month once the campaigns are dialed in. The audit tells you whether your category can carry that spend before you commit.
We're already running ads. Does an audit still make sense?
Yes — that's the most common starting point. Most Jacksonville Google Ads accounts we audit have 20-40% wasted spend that we can pull out in the first 30 days without losing the leads that already work.
