// In plain English — what this actually means

At $3,000/mo, you'll land about 6 new HVAC customers every month — that's $13,200 in revenue and $10,200 in your pocket after ads. Every $1 you spend earns back roughly $4.40 — and pays itself off within the first 7 days of the month.

The math is honest.

No black box. No "trust us." These are the same formulas we use to build growth plans for real clients — pulled from WordStream, HubSpot, BrightLocal, Google's published local search data, and 19 years of our own campaign performance. Read them and verify them yourself.

01 / Clicks → Leads

Budget ÷ CPC = clicks.

Your monthly budget divided by your industry's average cost-per-click gives you monthly clicks. Multiply by your landing-page conversion rate and you have leads. Self-managed accounts typically see 50% higher CPCs and 40% lower conversion rates than agency-managed accounts running the same vertical.

02 / Leads → Revenue

Close rate × job value.

Multiply leads by your close rate to get new customers. Multiply customers by your average job or case value to get monthly revenue. The biggest lever in this entire equation is usually close rate — fixing your phone answering and follow-up often doubles revenue without touching ad spend.

03 / Compounding

Months 1–3 are learning.

Google's algorithm needs data to optimize. Month 1 of any new campaign typically performs at 40–60% of steady-state. By month 3, Quality Scores rise, negative keyword lists fill in, and CPCs drop. Most clients see their best performance in months 4–6, which is what the projection chart above models.

Numbers look off? Let's fix it.

The questions everyone asks.

The math is exact — it's multiplication. The accuracy depends on the inputs. We've pre-loaded each industry with averages drawn from 500+ campaigns and major published benchmarks (WordStream, HubSpot, BrightLocal, Google). When you book a strategy call, we replace these averages with your actual numbers from Google Analytics, Search Console, and your ad accounts. That's when projections become predictions.
Three reasons. (1) Quality Score. Agency-managed accounts maintain higher Quality Scores, which reduce CPC by 30–50%. (2) Negative keyword discipline. Self-managed accounts waste 20–40% of spend on irrelevant clicks. (3) Landing page conversion. Professional landing pages convert 2–3× higher than generic homepages. We model these differences with multipliers based on real account audits.
It depends entirely on your industry's CPC. Budget for at least 8–10 clicks per day. With fewer clicks, Google's algorithm can't optimize and you can't measure what's working. For HVAC at $13/click that's ~$3,200/month. For a personal injury lawyer at $200/click it's $32,000+/month. Spending less than the minimum usually wastes money because campaigns never gather enough data.
Pick the closest match — restaurants behave like cleaning, B2B SaaS behaves like financial advisor, etc. Or just book a free strategy call and we'll pull your actual market data live on the call. We've run campaigns in 70+ industries; we can verify your numbers in 15 minutes.
Because Google Ads learns over time. Month 1 is typically 40–60% of steady-state performance — the algorithm is figuring out which keywords convert, which audiences buy, and which times of day matter most. Quality Score rises, CPCs drop, conversion rates improve. By month 4–6 you're at peak performance. SEO compounds even faster — every month you publish content and earn links adds permanent traffic.
Because businesses that run their own numbers make better decisions, and the ones who make better decisions become better clients. Most agencies hide the math. We'd rather show it. If the unit economics work, you'll know who to call when you're ready to scale. If they don't, you'll save yourself from a bad investment.
