How a 78-year-old Gulf Coast glass company drove 76% more Google Ads conversions on a 2.29% spend increase.
Las Vegas service businesses face a Valley auction where 40 million annual visitors and a fast-growing local population sit on the same keyword sets, and the cheapest click is rarely the cheapest lead. 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 Las Vegas PPC programs miss that we don't.
Las Vegas tourism volume distorts buyer-intent keywords.
Las Vegas Valley tourism searches dominate shared keywords and pull national bidders into the local auction, which means a campaign that does not separate visitor from resident intent pays national-tourist prices to chase a Henderson or Summerlin homeowner. The math only closes when match types and negatives are tightened to surface the actual local buyer.
Las Vegas buyers don't click generic Strip-flavored ad copy.
Local Las Vegas Valley buyers (residents in Summerlin, Henderson, Spring Valley, Green Valley) read the city very differently than visitors do, and ad copy that names the resident-side neighborhoods directly outperforms generic Vegas headlines on Quality Score. We pin geo modifiers in headlines and segment ad groups by Valley-resident intent.
Las Vegas PPC math closes on cost per booked lead, not impressions.
Las Vegas impression share is expensive to win and meaningless if the phone is not ringing in the Valley. 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.
Ranking for queries that do not convert
In Las Vegas, 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 Las Vegas 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 Las Vegas PPC retainer, not as upsells.
A Las Vegas PPC program needs every line item in this list working together. The tourism overlay on the Vegas auction is brutal enough that one neglected layer (tracking, negatives, landing-page speed) can flip a profitable campaign into wasted spend chasing visitor clicks.
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 Las Vegas 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 Las Vegas 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 Las Vegas 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 Las Vegas PPC playbook turns clicks into customers most reliably.
Las Vegas’ economy is anchored by the hospitality and gaming base across the Strip and Downtown (MGM Resorts, Caesars Entertainment, Wynn Resorts), the healthcare gravity centered on University Medical Center and the broader Sunrise and Valley Health networks, the construction and home-services trades supporting one of the fastest-growing US residential bases, and the conventions and trade-show economy. These are the verticals where our PPC programs deliver the most consistent cost-per-lead math.
HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and roofing trades in Las Vegas run hard against Mojave summer heat that pushes AC systems to 115-degree extremes, plus the constant dust, monsoon-season roof damage, and the mix of older central housing and newer subdivisions across Summerlin, Henderson, and Spring Valley. We build emergency-intent call-only campaigns, geo-target Las Vegas plus Summerlin, Henderson, Spring Valley, Green Valley, and The Lakes, and run tap-to-call landing pages that load fast on mid-tier mobile networks. Cost per lead typically lands $65 to $135 once optimized.
Independent dental and medical practices in Las Vegas operate in the orbit of University Medical Center of Southern Nevada, Sunrise Hospital, Valley Hospital, and the Henderson and Summerlin medical campuses. We run procedure-specific ad groups, insurance-friendly landing pages that name the carriers accepted, and conversion tracking through the booking platform, not just form submissions. The hospitality-industry-worker insurance pool and the fast-growing retiree base in Sun City Summerlin both drive specific carrier expectations.
Las Vegas contractors and builders work a market driven by some of the fastest residential growth in the Western US, with new subdivisions still pushing across Summerlin, Henderson, and the southwest Valley, plus high-end remodels in The Lakes and Spanish Trail and commercial buildouts tied to the Strip and convention base. We run project-type ad groups, image and YouTube creative shot at real Valley jobsites, and quote-form landing pages with realistic price-range expectations so the call comes in qualified.
Las Vegas attorneys handle a heavy mix of personal injury (one of the highest-volume PI markets in the country), family law, gaming and entertainment law tied to the Strip, criminal defense, and bankruptcy and consumer-protection work. We run practice-area campaigns tied to real buyer intent, write ad copy that meets Nevada Bar Association advertising rules, and tie consultation-booking landing pages to CallRail so the high-CPC legal click traces to a booked call.
Las Vegas’ restaurant and hospitality scene splits between the Strip and Downtown tourism economy and the local-resident dining clusters in Summerlin, Henderson’s Water Street, and the Arts District. Tourist-versus-resident intent separation is essential. We build local-intent search campaigns, OpenTable and Resy conversion tracking, event-driven scheduling around the convention calendar (CES, NAB, World of Concrete, MAGIC), and geo-fenced ad groups during peak windows.
Auto repair, body shops, detailing, and fleet maintenance in Las Vegas handle a commuter base running I-15, the 215 Beltway, and US-95, plus the heavy rental-fleet, ride-share, and hospitality-industry vehicle traffic typical of the Valley. We run emergency-intent call-only campaigns, OEM-targeted ad groups, parts-and-labor landing pages, and dynamic call extensions during shop hours. Geo-targeting extends along the Beltway and major arterials to catch breakdown searches.
Las Vegas’ specialty retail concentrates around the Strip (Fashion Show, Forum Shops, Grand Canal Shoppes), Downtown Summerlin, Town Square, Henderson’s Galleria at Sunset, and the Boca Park retail. We run Google Shopping campaigns with product feeds, local-inventory ads, store-visit conversion tracking with tourist-versus-local intent separation, and remarketing audiences segmented by product category. Performance Max handles awareness; manual search captures the high-intent decision.
Las Vegas’ B2B economy is anchored by gaming and hospitality vendor services tied to MGM, Caesars, Wynn, and the rest of the Strip operators, plus the convention and trade-show vendor base, the construction-services ecosystem supporting the residential boom, and the logistics base along the I-15 Reno-to-LA corridor. Sales cycles run long and often involve gaming-industry compliance steps. We run LinkedIn-paired Google Ads campaigns, gated-content lead-gen funnels, and long-cycle attribution wired through HubSpot or Salesforce. Cost per qualified opportunity matters more than cost per first-touch click.
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 Las Vegas 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 Las Vegas campaigns from the ground up: ad groups by intent, ad copy with the maximum Responsive Search Ads asset count, sitelinks tuned to Las Vegas 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 Las Vegas. Not what looks good on a vanity chart.
What a Las Vegas service-business owner actually gets, by PPC approach.
Transparent pricing. Management starts at $500/month, separate from your ad spend.
Typical Las Vegas 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.

Las Vegas PPC, straight answers.
A properly built Las Vegas 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 Valley resident data and we filter tourist intent and Henderson-versus-Summerlin spillover out of the search-terms report. Cost per lead typically stabilizes by month two and improves through month three as negatives tighten and landing pages get conversion-rate-tested. We report weekly during the first month, monthly after that.
Las Vegas CPCs run high across most service verticals, with trades running $7 to $13 and legal pushing $30 to $80 once personal injury and family law competition factor in (PI in Las Vegas is one of the most contested PPC categories in the country). The tourism overlay inflates the auction. PPC works in Las Vegas when the campaign architecture isolates resident intent and respects neighborhood-level buyer differences. Properly run Las Vegas campaigns deliver cost per leads under $130 in trades and under $300 in legal.
Management starts at $500 per month, separate from your ad spend. Typical Las Vegas service businesses run $500 to $1,500 per month in management on top of $2,500 to $5,000 in monthly ad spend. The Vegas market supports real ad spend, particularly in legal and home services. The number depends on monthly ad spend, channel count (Google, Microsoft, Meta, LinkedIn), and how much landing-page production work the campaign needs.
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. Las Vegas especially varies with the convention calendar (which drives massive demand swings) and the Mojave heat cycle that drives HVAC demand. 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 Las Vegas 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 Las Vegas auction (with tourist intent isolated). Mid-funnel: conversion rate by ad group, conversion rate by landing page, and call quality scoring on every CallRail-recorded inbound. 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 separate tourist from resident intent, audience segmentation refinement, call quality scoring, monthly reporting tied to leads and revenue, and a strategy call with DJ Van Zanten. Las Vegas retainers above the base tier include landing-page production and CRM offline-conversion wiring.
Yes. PPC is the fastest channel for a new Las Vegas business because it does not depend on review history or earned visibility, which take years to build in the highly competitive Vegas market. 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.
