How a 78-year-old Gulf Coast glass company drove 76% more Google Ads conversions on a 2.29% spend increase.
Miami service businesses run in one of the most expensive auctions in the United States. Brickell legal CPCs, Coral Gables medical CPCs, and a heavily bilingual buyer pool combine to produce a cost-per-click market that destroys campaigns built for cheaper geographies. 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 Miami PPC programs miss that we don't.
Miami CPCs are among the most expensive in the country.
Miami-Dade business-services CPCs routinely exceed $15 in legal, $10 in cosmetic and dental, and $8 in trades. The math only closes when conversion tracking is wired end to end and every dollar can be traced to a booked lead. Sloppy tracking at Miami CPCs burns through a startup budget in weeks.
Miami runs bilingual or it does not convert.
Miami-Dade is 70 percent Hispanic and a heavy share of buyers search and click in Spanish. We build parallel English and Spanish ad groups with native Spanish copy, separate landing pages, and language-segmented search-terms reports. Spanish-language ad groups often outperform English on Quality Score when the campaign is built for it, not bolted on.
Miami PPC math closes on cost per booked lead.
Miami-Dade impression share is expensive to win at any price. 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, not a vanity dashboard of clicks.
Ranking for queries that do not convert
In Miami, 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 Miami 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 Miami PPC retainer, not as upsells.
A Miami PPC program needs every line item in this list working together. Miami CPCs are among the most expensive in the country and one neglected layer (tracking, negatives, Spanish-language copy, landing-page speed) can flip a campaign into wasted spend in days, not weeks.
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 Miami 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 Miami 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 Miami 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 Miami PPC playbook turns clicks into customers most reliably.
Miami’s economy splits between the Brickell financial-services district that has become a Latin American banking hub, the Jackson Health and University of Miami medical complex, the international hospitality and tourism base from South Beach to Coconut Grove to Coral Gables, the real-estate and luxury-services market, the Doral logistics and trade corridor, and the heavyweight legal market across Brickell and downtown. These are the verticals where our PPC programs deliver the most consistent cost-per-lead math.
HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and roofing trades in Miami run hard against year-round humidity that pushes AC systems twelve months a year, hurricane-season storm and roof damage, salt-air corrosion in coastal neighborhoods, and a housing stock that ranges from Coral Gables Mediterranean villas to Brickell high-rises to mid-century Coconut Grove homes. We build emergency-intent call-only campaigns in English and Spanish, geo-target Miami-Dade with neighborhood-level precision (Brickell, Wynwood, Coconut Grove, Coral Gables, Doral, Aventura), and run tap-to-call landing pages. Cost per lead typically lands $70 to $160 once optimized.
Independent dental and medical practices in Miami operate in the orbit of Jackson Memorial Hospital, the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Mount Sinai Medical Center, and Baptist Health South Florida. The Coral Gables and Aventura medical districts concentrate cosmetic and specialty practices. We run procedure-specific ad groups in English and Spanish, insurance-friendly landing pages, and conversion tracking through the booking platform. The cosmetic and concierge-medicine market drives some of the highest medical CPCs in the country here.
Miami contractors and builders work luxury renovations in Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, and Pinecrest, condo and high-rise buildouts across Brickell and Aventura, and post-hurricane restoration across the entire metro. We run project-type ad groups in both languages, image and YouTube creative shot at real Miami-Dade jobsites, and quote-form landing pages calibrated to the luxury price-point expectations of Coral Gables and Coconut Grove buyers.
Miami attorneys compete in one of the most expensive legal-services auctions in the country, handling personal injury, immigration law (a defining Miami specialty), maritime law tied to PortMiami, family law, criminal defense, and corporate work tied to the Brickell Latin American banking sector. We run practice-area campaigns in both languages, write ad copy that meets Florida Bar advertising rules, and tie consultation-booking landing pages to CallRail so the high-CPC legal click traces to a booked call. Bilingual intake is non-negotiable.
Miami’s restaurant and hospitality scene runs from South Beach’s Ocean Drive to Wynwood’s arts-district restaurants to Coconut Grove to the Brickell City Centre to the Design District. Art Basel, Miami Spice, Ultra Music Festival, and cruise-ship turnover days drive massive volume spikes. We build local-intent campaigns in both languages, OpenTable and Resy conversion tracking, event-driven scheduling around the international event calendar, and geo-fenced ad groups across the tourism corridors during peak windows.
Auto repair, body shops, detailing, and fleet maintenance in Miami handle a heavy commuter base across I-95, I-195, the Palmetto Expressway, and US-1, plus the international fleet traffic supporting PortMiami and Miami International Airport. Luxury and exotic vehicle service is its own vertical here, concentrated in Coral Gables, Aventura, and Brickell. We run emergency-intent call-only campaigns in both languages, OEM-targeted ad groups, parts-and-labor landing pages, and dynamic call extensions during shop hours.
Miami’s specialty retail concentrates around Bal Harbour Shops, the Design District, Lincoln Road, the Brickell City Centre, Aventura Mall, and the Wynwood boutique corridor. International destination shopping from Latin America drives heavy Spanish-language search and remarketing traffic that needs its own audience segmentation. We run Google Shopping campaigns with product feeds in both languages, local-inventory ads, store-visit conversion tracking, and remarketing audiences split by international visitor and local resident.
Miami’s B2B economy is anchored by the Latin American banking and financial services orbit across Brickell (Citi, Bank of America’s Latin American hub, multiple Brazilian and Argentinian banks), the international trade and logistics base across Doral and PortMiami, the cruise industry headquarters, and the corporate-services orbit serving multinational Latin American operations. Sales cycles run long, bilingual, and relationship-driven. We run LinkedIn-paired Google Ads campaigns in both languages, gated-content lead-gen funnels, and long-cycle attribution.
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 Miami 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 Miami campaigns from the ground up: ad groups by intent, ad copy with the maximum Responsive Search Ads asset count, sitelinks tuned to Miami 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 Miami. Not what looks good on a vanity chart.
What a Miami service-business owner actually gets, by PPC approach.
Transparent pricing. Management starts at $500/month, separate from your ad spend.
Typical Miami 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.

Miami PPC, straight answers.
A properly built Miami 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 Miami-Dade data, language-segmented English and Spanish ad groups need an extra week of learning, and we filter Broward and Palm Beach spillover out of the search-terms report. Cost per lead typically stabilizes by month two and improves through month three. We report weekly during the first month, monthly after that.
Miami CPCs are among the highest in the country. Trades push $8 to $15. Cosmetic dental and medical landing $18 to $40. Legal can exceed $50 in personal injury and immigration. The Florida Bar disclosure rules add ad-copy complexity. PPC works in Miami when the campaign architecture handles bilingual ad copy and tight Miami-Dade geo-targeting that prevents Broward bleed. Properly run Miami campaigns deliver cost per leads under $140 in trades, under $300 in dental, and under $400 in legal. All well inside the Miami benchmark.
Management starts at $500 per month, separate from your ad spend. Typical Miami service businesses run $750 to $2,500 per month in management on top of $3,000 to $10,000 in monthly ad spend. Miami CPCs require real budget to produce meaningful volume, and bilingual campaign production adds to the management side because parallel language structure takes more build work. 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. Miami especially varies with hurricane season, the international event calendar (Art Basel, Miami Spice, Ultra), and Latin American economic cycles that move international buyer traffic. What we guarantee is the work: conversion tracking shipped properly, dedicated landing pages per intent and per language, 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 Miami 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 Miami auction, segmented by language. Mid-funnel: conversion rate by ad group, conversion rate by landing page, and call quality scoring on every CallRail-recorded inbound, with bilingual call routing. 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 English and Spanish ad copy and creative testing, landing-page conversion-rate optimization, monthly negative-keyword review tuned to the Miami-Dade geo, audience segmentation refinement, call quality scoring, monthly reporting tied to leads and revenue, and a strategy call with DJ Van Zanten. Miami retainers above the base tier include bilingual landing-page production and CRM offline-conversion wiring.
Yes. PPC is the fastest channel for a new Miami business because it does not depend on review history or earned visibility, which take years to build against established Miami-Dade operators with deep community roots. A new business with a real offer, a clean bilingual landing page, and proper conversion tracking can produce tracked leads within the first week, though Miami CPCs require serious launch budget. 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.
