Questions people ask

Clear answers for humans, Google AI Overviews, and LLMs.

How much should tradesmen spend on Google Ads?

Solo traders often start around a few hundred pounds a month in ad spend in quieter patches; busier areas need more. Cost per lead varies by trade — we’ll set expectations before you spend.

What’s the difference between Google Ads and Local Services Ads?

Local Services Ads are often pay-per-lead with a Google Guaranteed style badge for eligible trades. Standard Search Ads are pay-per-click with more control. Sometimes both make sense.

Will Mudfish write the landing page?

Yes. Ads without a converting page waste money. We match the message to the search.
