// Why spend leaks
Why most trade Google Ads stall
A trade campaign only works when the account knows which searches, suburbs, and calls are worth buying again.
Leak 01
Keywords are too broad, so the budget pays for research clicks instead of urgent jobs.
Leak 02
The landing page does not match the job, suburb, or emergency intent in the search.
Leak 03
Reports celebrate clicks while missed calls, junk leads, and unquoted jobs stay hidden.

FAQ
Questions trade owners ask
What budget should a trade business start with?+
The minimum useful ad budget is usually $500 per month, but competitive suburbs and emergency trades often need more signal. The audit will show the sensible starting range.
Do you manage calls and tracking?+
Yes. Call tracking and conversion quality are part of the system because a missed call and a booked job should never look identical in the account.
How does the AI actually help?+
It looks across account patterns for search intent, suburb quality, competitor positioning, wasted spend, and conversion signals. Zac still owns the strategy and final decisions.
Can I keep my current website?+
Usually. If the page is leaking leads, we will call that out and recommend the simplest landing path before asking you to raise spend.
