How a 78-year-old Gulf Coast glass company drove 76% more Google Ads conversions on a 2.29% spend increase.
Oklahoma City service businesses run in an auction shaped by Devon Energy’s downtown footprint, OU Health and the broader Health Sciences Center, and Tinker Air Force Base, plus a rapidly growing suburban ring through Edmond, Yukon, and Moore. 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 Oklahoma City PPC programs miss that we don't.
OKC's growth-market CPCs reward tracking discipline.
OKC metro CPCs have climbed steadily as the population and corporate base grow, and personal injury legal in particular has pushed into a CPC tier that punishes any campaign without proper conversion tracking. We fix tracking before keywords, because a 25 percent waste rate against rising clicks is real money walking out each week.
OKC buyers split between urban-core and suburban-ring residents.
Bricktown and Midtown buyers behave differently than Edmond, Yukon, and Moore residents, and lumping them into one campaign hurts Quality Score and conversion rate. We segment by neighborhood and suburb, write distinct ad copy for each, and route call attribution by area so the data tells you which geos pay back.
OKC PPC math closes on cost per booked lead.
In the OKC metro, weather-driven demand spikes (hail season, ice storms, severe summer heat) can pull CPCs around for weeks at a time. We report leading indicators weekly during launch, then leads, cost per lead, and revenue every month tied to the CRM, with call quality scoring on every phone lead.
Ranking for queries that do not convert
In Oklahoma City, 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 Oklahoma City 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 Oklahoma City PPC retainer, not as upsells.
An Oklahoma City PPC program needs every line item in this list working together. The OKC metro is large enough that geo-fencing matters a lot and the suburb-by-suburb economic split makes one-size-fits-all campaigns underperform.
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 Oklahoma City 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 Oklahoma City 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 Oklahoma City 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 Oklahoma City PPC playbook turns clicks into customers most reliably.
Oklahoma City’s economy runs on energy through Devon Energy and the surrounding oil and gas services orbit, healthcare anchored by OU Health and the Oklahoma City Health Sciences Center, defense through Tinker Air Force Base, plus the home services and trades work that supports a metro growing fast through Edmond, Nichols Hills, Yukon, and Moore. These are the verticals where our PPC programs deliver the most consistent cost-per-lead math.
HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and roofing trades in Oklahoma City face brutal summer demand when triple-digit heat takes AC systems out, severe hail season in spring, and ice-storm emergencies in winter. We build emergency-intent call-only campaigns, suburb-level geo-targeting across Edmond, Nichols Hills, Mesta Park, Bricktown, Yukon, and Moore, and tap-to-call landing pages that load fast on mobile. Cost per lead typically lands $55 to $115 once optimized.
Oklahoma City’s healthcare market is anchored by OU Health, the Oklahoma City Health Sciences Center campus, INTEGRIS Baptist Medical Center, and the independent dental and specialty practices serving the broader OKC metro. We run procedure-specific ad groups, TRICARE-friendly landing pages for the Tinker Air Force Base population, and conversion tracking through booking platforms. Not just form submissions. We track the booked appointment.
General contractors and builders working OKC see demand split between new construction in the rapidly growing Edmond and Yukon corridors, historic-district remodels in Mesta Park and Heritage Hills, plus the storm-driven exterior work that makes up a meaningful share of annual revenue. We run project-type ad groups, image and YouTube creative shot with real OKC project photography, and quote-form landing pages with realistic price-range expectation setting.
Oklahoma City attorneys handle a heavy mix of personal injury tied to I-35, I-40, and I-44 traffic, oil-and-gas estate work, family law, criminal defense, and workers’ compensation tied to the Tinker Air Force Base contractor base. We run practice-area campaigns tied to actual buyer intent, write ad copy that meets Oklahoma Bar advertising rules, and tie consultation-booking landing pages to CallRail. PI CPCs in the OKC metro have climbed steadily for three years.
Oklahoma City’s restaurant scene runs from Bricktown’s entertainment district through the Midtown, Western Avenue, and Plaza District corridors, with strong demand from downtown employees, Thunder game crowds, and the Edmond suburban dinner traffic. We build local-intent search campaigns, OpenTable and Resy conversion tracking where it applies, event-driven scheduling tied to Thunder games and downtown events, and geo-fenced ad groups around Bricktown during peak event windows.
Auto repair, body shops, and diesel service in Oklahoma City cater to a mix of energy-sector buyers, military, and the I-35 and I-40 commuter pool moving between the city and Norman or Edmond each day. We run emergency-intent call-only campaigns, OEM-targeted ad groups, parts-and-labor landing pages, fleet-service landing pages for the energy-sector buyers, and dynamic call extensions during shop hours.
Oklahoma City’s specialty retail spans Penn Square Mall, the Plaza District, Western Avenue, and the downtown Bricktown corridor. We run Google Shopping campaigns with product feeds, local-inventory ads, store-visit conversion tracking, and remarketing audiences segmented by product category. Performance Max takes the awareness layer; manual search captures the high-intent decision.
Oklahoma City’s B2B service economy is heavy on the Devon Energy and oil-and-gas vendor orbit, defense contracting around Tinker Air Force Base, commercial real estate services tied to the downtown growth, and the staffing and IT services for the broader employer base. Sales cycles run long. 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 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 Oklahoma City 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 Oklahoma City campaigns from the ground up: ad groups by intent, ad copy with the maximum Responsive Search Ads asset count, sitelinks tuned to Oklahoma City 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 Oklahoma City. Not what looks good on a vanity chart.
What a Oklahoma City service-business owner actually gets, by PPC approach.
Transparent pricing. Management starts at $500/month, separate from your ad spend.
Typical Oklahoma City 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.

Oklahoma City PPC, straight answers.
A properly built Oklahoma City campaign starts producing tracked conversions within the first week of launch. The first 30 days are a learning phase where the algorithm calibrates against the OKC metro’s auction levels and the suburb-by-suburb economic split. Cost per lead typically stabilizes by month two and improves through month three as negative-keyword lists tighten around Norman, Stillwater, and the surrounding small towns. We report weekly during the first month, monthly after that.
OKC CPCs sit in the mid-tier for a South Central metro. Home services run $5 to $11 per click, healthcare $8 to $17, and personal injury legal climbs into the $30 to $70 zone. The metro’s growth has driven CPC inflation steadily. PPC works in OKC when the campaign is built around tight suburb-by-suburb geo-fencing that respects the city’s economic gradient. Properly run OKC campaigns deliver cost per leads under $110 in trades, under $220 in legal.
Management starts at $500 per month, separate from your ad spend. Typical OKC service businesses run $500 to $1,500 per month in management on top of $2,000 to $5,000 in monthly ad spend. 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 reputable PPC agency guarantees a specific cost per lead, because the OKC auction moves with weather-driven demand spikes and the energy-sector business cycle. What we guarantee is the work: conversion tracking shipped properly, dedicated landing pages per intent, monthly negative-keyword review (the OKC metro geo creates real waste if not policed), weekly bid optimization, and reporting tied to revenue per lead. The cost-per-lead curve bends downward when the work is done right.
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 Oklahoma City 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, search impression share in the OKC auction. Mid-funnel: conversion rate by ad group, conversion rate by landing page, call quality scoring. Revenue: leads delivered, cost per lead, ROAS, 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 the OKC geo (Norman, Stillwater, and surrounding small-town spillover all need filtering), audience segmentation refinement, call quality scoring, monthly reporting tied to leads and revenue, and a strategy call with DJ Van Zanten.
Yes. PPC is the fastest channel for a new OKC business because the metro’s earned-search environment has gotten competitive enough that organic ranking takes nine to fifteen months for most service verticals. 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.
