How a 78-year-old Gulf Coast glass company drove 76% more Google Ads conversions on a 2.29% spend increase.
Freeport service businesses sit inside the New York DMA on Long Island’s South Shore, where Nassau County buyer behavior, the NYC metro CPC ceiling, and the Nautical Mile waterfront economy all distort the same keyword. The Dixie Glass campaign shows what disciplined PPC management does to that math.
Dixie Glass, a third-generation Mississippi Gulf Coast glass company in business since 1946, came to Lithium with Google Ads campaigns that were spending without producing tracked conversions. We rebuilt the campaigns around proper conversion tracking, tightened the keyword and match-type strategy, deployed dedicated landing pages, and wired CallRail through to GA4. Over twelve months, on only a 2.29 percent ad spend increase, Google Ads conversions climbed 76 percent and the campaign conversion rate landed at 15.57 percent.
DIXIE GLASS — GOOGLE ADS REBUILD
Three things Freeport PPC programs miss that we don't.
Freeport sits inside the NYC DMA, so loose geos bleed budget west.
A Freeport service business bidding the same keyword as a Queens or Brooklyn competitor pays NYC auction prices to chase a Nassau County buyer. We tighten geo-targeting to Freeport, Merrick, Baldwin, and Bellmore first, then layer Nassau County or western Suffolk only when the math supports it, so the budget stops bleeding west toward the boroughs.
Freeport buyers don't click generic Long Island ad copy.
South Shore buyers respond to language that names Freeport, the Nautical Mile, or Nassau County directly, not generic 'Long Island' headlines that bid into Nassau and Suffolk indiscriminately. The buyer pool is dense enough that South Shore-specific copy outranks generic Long Island copy on Quality Score, and that gap compounds at NYC-DMA price levels.
Freeport PPC math closes on cost per booked lead, not impressions.
A Long Island impression-share metric looks impressive and means nothing if the phone is not ringing. We report leading indicators weekly during launch, then leads, cost per lead, and revenue every month against your CRM. The strategy call is built around what actually closed in Nassau County, not the DMA-wide vanity number.
Ranking for queries that do not convert
In Freeport, where Bay Area business-services CPCs run $7 to $12, every wasted click is a measurable dollar lost. Lithium’s PPC programs are built around the cost-per-lead math first, click volume second.
Technical debt blocking growth
Service-business buyers prefer to tap a phone number rather than navigate a menu to find one. A site missing a click-to-call link in the hero, and a sticky mobile bar that keeps it within thumb reach during scroll, loses the calls you paid to earn through ads.
Generic content that says nothing local
A PPC campaign without proper conversion tracking, dedicated landing pages, and negative-keyword discipline is invisible in your CRM dashboard. The clicks may be there, the impressions may be there, but the booked work is flat. That is where most of the Freeport ad spend silently leaks.
No measurement tied to revenue
Buyers decide whether to keep scrolling in about five seconds. A site that shows no reviews, no project photos, no service-area clarity, and no trust signal in the hero loses every time to a competitor who placed a single five-star rating in the right spot.
Eight things we ship inside every Freeport PPC retainer, not as upsells.
A Freeport PPC program needs every line item in this list working together. The NYC DMA ceiling, the Long Island South Shore seasonality (boating, summer waterfront), and the dense Nassau-Suffolk competitive landscape all mean a single broad-match miss pulls Queens or Brooklyn clicks at NYC prices before the South Shore buyer sees the ad.
Conversion tracking, properly wired
GA4 events on every form and click-to-call. CallRail call tracking with call quality scoring. Server-side conversion imports for Google Ads. Offline-conversion imports from your CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce, GoHighLevel). The algorithm cannot optimize toward leads it cannot see.
Dedicated landing pages per intent
Landing pages built for the buyer behind the keyword, not the home page. Single offer above the fold, tap-to-call thumb-zone-friendly, one form, one CTA, and a load time under 2.5 seconds on a mid-tier Freeport mobile network. Every high-intent keyword cluster gets its own page.
Keyword strategy + match-type discipline
Keywords mapped to buyer intent (research, comparison, decision) and tied to estimated revenue per lead. Match-type discipline that prevents broad-match drift from eating budget on the wrong queries. Monthly negative-keyword review from the search-terms report.
Ad copy + Responsive Search Ads
Ad copy that names the actual service, not “quality work.” Responsive Search Ads with the maximum asset count, manual headline pinning where intent demands it, sitelinks tuned to Freeport buyer language, and structured asset extensions. Every variant tagged for A/B analysis.
Geo-targeting + audience layering
Geo-targeting at the suburb level, not the metro level. Bid modifiers tuned to your actual conversion data across the neighborhoods you serve. Audience layering with in-market segments, remarketing pools, and customer-match uploads from your CRM. The right click, the right place, the right time, at the right bid.
Bid management + remarketing
Manual control on high-intent keywords, Google’s tCPA and tROAS automation where the data supports it. Remarketing audiences segmented by funnel stage, with display, YouTube, and Discovery campaigns layered on top of search for Freeport buyers who clicked but did not convert. The full funnel, not just the first click.
Reporting tied to revenue, not vanity
Looker Studio dashboard updating daily on impressions, clicks, conversions, conversion rate, and ROAS by campaign and ad group. Call quality scored and reviewed monthly. Monthly written report ties everything back to leads delivered, cost per lead, and revenue. The same numbers Lithium uses internally to manage your program.
Optimization cadence that pays back
Daily monitoring during the first 30 days, weekly after that. Bid adjustments, ad copy rotations, and budget reallocations happen on real data: search-terms reports, conversion data by ad group, landing-page conversion rate, device and audience performance. Every change is logged and tied to a measurable outcome.
The verticals where our Freeport PPC playbook turns clicks into customers most reliably.
Freeport’s economy runs on the Nautical Mile and South Shore waterfront hospitality, the home-services trades supporting Nassau County’s dense older housing stock, the healthcare orbit anchored by Mount Sinai South Nassau and the broader Northwell Health network, and the legal and professional services serving Nassau County. These are the verticals where our PPC programs deliver the most consistent cost-per-lead math.
HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and roofing trades in Freeport run hard against Long Island winters that crack pipes from December through March, the Nor’easter cycle that drives roofing and storm-cleanup demand, and the salt-air corrosion replacement work along the Nautical Mile and South Shore canal homes. We build emergency-intent call-only campaigns, geo-target Freeport plus Merrick, Baldwin, and Bellmore, and run tap-to-call landing pages that load fast on mid-tier mobile networks. Cost per lead typically lands $85 to $160 once optimized.
Independent dental and medical practices in Freeport operate in the orbit of Mount Sinai South Nassau in Oceanside, the Northwell Health network across Nassau County, and the NYU Langone presence on Long Island. We run procedure-specific ad groups, insurance-friendly landing pages tuned to the major New York plans including EmblemHealth, Empire BCBS, and Healthfirst, and conversion tracking through your booking platform, not just form submissions. Spanish-language and Haitian-Creole ad copy lifts conversion rate across much of the Freeport-Hempstead corridor.
Freeport’s mix of South Shore canal-front remodels, Bayview Avenue homes, and the older Nassau County housing stock runs on project-type ad groups, not generic remodeler keywords. We run kitchen remodel, dock-and-bulkhead, FEMA-compliant elevation, and storm-damage exterior ad groups separately, image creative shot at real South Shore projects, and quote-form landing pages with realistic Nassau County price-range expectation setting. Post-Sandy FEMA elevation code language belongs in ad copy because South Shore buyers ask first.
Freeport attorneys, CPAs, financial advisors, and consultants compete in a Nassau County auction where the New York State Bar compliance on ad copy is non-negotiable and NYC firms regularly bid up Long Island keywords. We run practice-area campaigns tied to actual buyer intent (DWI, family law, personal injury, real estate, immigration, estate planning), consultation-booking landing pages, and conversion tracking that ties the high-CPC click to a booked call.
Freeport’s restaurant and hospitality density along the Nautical Mile, the Woodcleft Canal waterfront, and Main Street runs on local-intent searches, summer-season demand, and reservation-platform integration. We build local-inventory ads, OpenTable and Resy conversion tracking, event-driven scheduling around the summer boating season, and geo-fenced ad groups around the Nautical Mile during peak weekends. The Nautical Mile pulls regional demand from across Nassau and Suffolk.
Auto repair, body shops, detailing, and fleet maintenance in the Freeport metro compete on emergency-intent searches, salt-air corrosion repair, and OEM-specific queries tied to the luxury-vehicle density across the South Shore. We run service-emergency call-only campaigns, OEM-targeted ad groups, salt-and-rust repair landing pages, and dynamic call extensions during business hours. Geo-targeting often extends to Merrick, Bellmore, and Wantagh to capture commute-route searches.
Freeport’s independent retail spans Main Street, the Sunrise Highway commercial corridor, and the Nautical Mile specialty retail. We run Google Shopping campaigns with product feeds, local-inventory ads, store-visit conversion tracking, and remarketing audiences segmented by product category and summer-season buying behavior. Performance Max often handles awareness layers; manual search captures the high-intent Main Street and Nautical Mile decision.
Freeport’s B2B service economy leans on the marine and boatyard businesses along the Woodcleft Canal, the construction and contractor supply base serving Nassau County, and the legal and accounting services orbit. We run LinkedIn-paired Google Ads campaigns where the buyer is large enough to justify it, gated-content lead-gen funnels tuned to long sales cycles, and attribution wired through HubSpot or Salesforce. Cost per qualified opportunity matters more than cost per first-touch lead.
From audit to optimized campaigns, with weekly check-ins through the first month.
Profitable PPC is a compounding system, not a one-time launch. The Lithium process starts with an audit and conversion-tracking rebuild, then ships campaign optimizations on a weekly cadence with monthly reporting that ties impressions to booked work.
Audit and strategy
We pull your Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, GA4, CallRail, and CRM data and audit your current campaigns against impression share, conversion rate, quality score, and search-terms waste. We map your service mix, real Freeport buyer journeys, and revenue per lead. You receive an audit deliverable in week one with priorities ranked by impact.
Conversion infrastructure
Before we touch ad copy, we wire conversion tracking properly. GA4 events on every form and click-to-call, CallRail through to Google Ads, server-side conversion imports, and offline-conversion imports from your CRM. The algorithm cannot optimize toward leads it cannot see, so this gets done first or everything else compounds slower.
Campaign build
Ad groups structured by buyer intent, ad copy with the maximum Responsive Search Ads asset count, dedicated landing pages built for each high-intent keyword cluster, geo-targeting at the suburb level (tuned to the neighborhoods you actually serve), and a baseline negative-keyword list. Every campaign launches with a 30-day optimization plan already mapped.
Launch and learning phase
We build your Freeport campaigns from the ground up: ad groups by intent, ad copy with the maximum Responsive Search Ads asset count, sitelinks tuned to Freeport buyer language, geo-targeting at the suburb level, and dedicated landing pages for the highest-intent keywords. Every campaign launches with a baseline negative-keyword list and a 30-day optimization plan already mapped.
Ongoing optimization
Daily monitoring during the first 30 days, weekly after that. We optimize on search-terms reports, conversion data by ad group, landing-page conversion rate, device and audience performance, and quality score drift. Bid adjustments, ad copy rotations, and budget reallocations happen on real data, not gut feel. Every change is logged and tied to a measurable outcome.
Measurement and monthly iteration
Monthly written report tied to leads, cost per lead, and revenue from paid search. Strategy call with DJ Van Zanten to set the next month’s priorities. The strategy adjusts every thirty days based on what is actually moving the phone in Freeport. Not what looks good on a vanity chart.
What a Freeport service-business owner actually gets, by PPC approach.
Transparent pricing. Management starts at $500/month, separate from your ad spend.
Typical Freeport service businesses run $500 to $1,500 per month in management on top of $2,000 to $5,000 in monthly ad spend. Pricing scales with monthly ad spend, channel count (Google, Microsoft, Meta, LinkedIn), and how much landing-page production work the campaign needs. You will see the math on the first call. No haggling, no hidden upsells.

Freeport PPC, straight answers.
A properly built Freeport campaign starts producing tracked conversions within the first week of launch. The first 30 days are a learning phase where the algorithm calibrates on real South Shore Nassau data and we filter NYC-borough spillover out of the search-terms report. Cost per lead typically stabilizes by month two and improves through month three as negative-keyword lists tighten and landing pages get conversion-rate-tested. We report weekly during the first month, monthly after that.
Freeport CPCs run below Manhattan and Brooklyn proper but well above the national average because the NYC DMA pulls every Long Island bid upward, with home-services trades at $9 to $16, legal pushing $40 to $90 on personal injury, and dental at $14 to $28. The auction depth is real because NYC-metro agencies regularly bid into Nassau County. Properly run Freeport campaigns deliver cost per leads under $160 in trades and under $325 in legal, both inside the NYC-metro benchmark.
Management starts at $500 per month, separate from your ad spend. Typical Freeport service businesses run $500 to $1,500 per month in management on top of $2,500 to $5,000 in monthly ad spend because NYC-DMA CPCs and the cross-borough competition both push budgets up. The number depends on monthly ad spend, channel count (Google, Microsoft, Meta, LinkedIn), and how much landing-page production work the campaign needs. You will see the math on the first call. No haggling, no hidden upsells.
No reputable PPC agency guarantees a specific cost per lead or conversion rate, because both are controlled by the Google Ads auction, the season, and your offer. Freeport varies sharply by season, with Nor’easter cleanup driving roofing and tree-service, winter pipe-freeze driving plumbing, and the summer Nautical Mile season driving hospitality. What we guarantee is the work: conversion tracking shipped properly, dedicated landing pages per intent, monthly negative-keyword review, weekly bid optimization, and reporting tied to revenue per lead.
Quality Score is Google’s estimate of how relevant your ad and landing page are to the keyword. It directly affects your cost per click and ad position. We optimize Quality Score on three vectors: expected click-through rate (better ad copy, headline pinning where intent demands it), ad relevance (tight ad-group themes, one core keyword set per ad group), and landing-page experience (dedicated pages per intent, fast mobile load, message-match with the ad). A 7+ Quality Score on high-volume keywords often saves Freeport clients 30 to 50 percent on cost per click compared to a 4 or 5.
Three layers. Leading indicators: impressions, clicks, click-through rate, Quality Score, and search impression share in the Freeport auction (which splits from NYC boroughs and the broader Long Island when the geo is built right). Mid-funnel: conversion rate by ad group, conversion rate by landing page, and call quality scoring. Revenue: leads delivered, cost per lead, ROAS, and revenue attributed to paid via offline conversion imports from your CRM. The dashboard updates daily and the written report ships monthly with a strategy call.
Daily campaign monitoring during the first 30 days (weekly after), bid and budget optimization, ongoing ad copy and creative testing, landing-page conversion-rate optimization, monthly negative-keyword review tuned to filter NYC-borough and broader Long Island leakage, audience segmentation refinement, call quality scoring, monthly reporting tied to leads and revenue, and a strategy call with DJ Van Zanten. Freeport retainers above the base tier include landing page production and CRM offline-conversion wiring.
Yes. PPC is the fastest channel for a new Freeport business because it does not depend on review history, which takes years to accrue against entrenched Nassau County competitors. A new business with a real offer, a clean landing page, and proper conversion tracking can produce tracked leads within the first week. We typically pair an aggressive PPC launch with a measured SEO build over the next six months so the blended cost per lead drops as earned visibility compounds.
