How a 78-year-old Gulf Coast glass company drove 76% more Google Ads conversions on a 2.29% spend increase.
Orlando service businesses run in a Central Florida auction shaped by the AdventHealth versus Orlando Health procedural-keyword war, the Disney and Universal tourism economy that bleeds into local CPCs every school break, and a Lake Nona biotech corridor that pulls a different buyer pool entirely. 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 Orlando PPC programs miss that we don't.
Orlando's AdventHealth-versus-Orlando-Health auction punishes thin campaigns.
Both health systems bid hard on procedural keywords across the entire Central Florida metro, which means an independent practice or specialty trade running a templated campaign is competing for the same impressions on a fraction of the budget. We tighten ad-group themes, segment by neighborhood intent (Winter Park, Lake Nona, Dr. Phillips), and run conversion tracking deep enough to prove every click against a booked outcome.
Orlando buyers don't click ad copy that ignores the submarket.
Winter Park, Lake Nona, Dr. Phillips, College Park, and Baldwin Park all behave like distinct buyer pools with different incomes, housing stock, and search behavior. A Lake Nona biotech professional does not respond to the same ad copy as a College Park bungalow owner. We write ads that name the service, the neighborhood, and a real offer, and Quality Score moves accordingly.
Orlando PPC math closes on cost per booked lead, not impressions.
Tourism volatility, hurricane-season home-services spikes, and the long sales cycles in the Lake Nona biotech and aviation B2B corridor all hide wasted spend if reporting stops at the click. We report leading indicators weekly during launch, then leads, cost per lead, and revenue every month, all tied to your CRM. The strategy call is built around what actually closed.
Ranking for queries that do not convert
In Orlando, 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 Orlando 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 Orlando PPC retainer, not as upsells.
An Orlando PPC program needs every line item in this list working together. The AdventHealth and Orlando Health procedural-keyword pressure, the Disney and Universal tourism economy, and the Lake Nona Medical City B2B layer all reward disciplined campaign architecture and punish lazy templating.
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 Orlando 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 Orlando 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 Orlando 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 Orlando PPC playbook turns clicks into customers most reliably.
Orlando’s economy splits between the hospitality and tourism gravity of Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando, the healthcare base anchored by AdventHealth and Orlando Health, the Lake Nona Medical City biotech and research corridor, and the home-services demand from a metro that keeps building outward into Lake County and Osceola County. These are the verticals where our PPC programs deliver the most consistent cost-per-lead math.
Orlando’s mix of older Winter Park and College Park bungalows, the newer Baldwin Park infill, and the sprawling Dr. Phillips and Lake Nona master-planned communities keeps HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and roofing trades in steady demand. Florida heat drives year-round AC emergency volume, and the June-through-November hurricane season produces predictable roofing and water-damage spikes. We build emergency-intent call-only campaigns, suburb-level geo-targeting across the Orlando metro and out to Winter Garden, Oviedo, and Kissimmee, and tap-to-call landing pages that load under 2.5 seconds on mid-tier mobile. Cost per lead typically lands $70 to $140 once optimized.
Independent dental and medical practices in Orlando operate in the orbit of AdventHealth and Orlando Health, both of which bid on procedural keywords with system-level budgets, plus the Lake Nona Medical City build-out around Nemours Children’s Hospital and the UCF College of Medicine. We run procedure-specific ad groups, insurance-friendly landing pages naming the actual carriers (Florida Blue, AvMed, UnitedHealthcare), and conversion tracking through your booking platform. Not just form submissions. The booked appointment is the lead, and bilingual Spanish creative often outperforms English-only ad sets given Orlando’s demographic mix.
Orlando’s contractor demand splits between Winter Park and College Park historic-home restorations, the steady new construction across Lake Nona and Horizon West, and the Dr. Phillips and Bay Hill custom-home segment. We run project-type ad groups (kitchen remodels, pool decks given the climate, hurricane-impact window upgrades), image and YouTube creative with real Orlando project photography, and quote-form landing pages with realistic Florida price-range expectation setting so the lead arrives already qualified.
Orlando attorneys handle a heavy mix of personal injury tied to I-4 and the theme-park visitor traffic, immigration tied to the metro’s demographic mix, family law, hospitality-industry labor and workers’ comp, and estate planning for a market with significant retiree wealth. We run practice-area campaigns tied to actual buyer intent, write ad copy that meets Florida Bar advertising rules (which require pre-approval for many formats), and tie consultation-booking landing pages to CallRail so the high-CPC legal click traces to a booked call. Cost per lead in legal often runs $150 to $300 once disciplined.
Orlando’s restaurant scene runs across the Mills 50 district, Thornton Park, the Ivanhoe Village Antique Row, downtown Winter Park’s Park Avenue, and the Dr. Phillips Restaurant Row on Sand Lake Road. Volume swings hard with theme-park calendars, Magic and Orlando City home games, and convention center bookings at OCCC. We build event-driven campaign scheduling, OpenTable and Resy conversion tracking, local-intent search campaigns, and geo-fenced ad groups around International Drive during peak convention weeks.
Auto repair, body shops, detailing, and fleet maintenance in Orlando handle the salt-air corrosion that runs in from both coasts, plus the standard collision mix tied to I-4 congestion and the tourist-driver rental fleet returning damage. 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 often extends to Altamonte Springs, Kissimmee, and Sanford to capture commute-route searches.
Orlando’s specialty retail concentrates around the Park Avenue district in Winter Park, the Mills 50 independents, Thornton Park boutiques, and the upscale Mall at Millenia and Florida Mall clusters. We run Google Shopping campaigns with product feeds, local-inventory ads tied to store hours, store-visit conversion tracking, and remarketing audiences segmented by resident versus tourist behavior so the theme-park visitor wave does not distort resident-segment metrics.
Orlando’s B2B service economy runs on the Lake Nona Medical City biotech and research orbit, the modeling-and-simulation defense cluster around the Central Florida Research Park near UCF, the hospitality-services supply chain feeding Disney and Universal, and the aviation and aerospace work tied to the Space Coast spillover. Sales cycles are long and account-based. 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 Orlando 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 Orlando campaigns from the ground up: ad groups by intent, ad copy with the maximum Responsive Search Ads asset count, sitelinks tuned to Orlando 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 Orlando. Not what looks good on a vanity chart.
What a Orlando service-business owner actually gets, by PPC approach.
Transparent pricing. Management starts at $500/month, separate from your ad spend.
Typical Orlando 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.

Orlando PPC, straight answers.
A properly built Orlando 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 data and we filter out the Tampa-metro and Daytona spillover that occasionally shows up in 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.
Orlando CPCs run mid-tier nationally. Most service verticals sit in the $4 to $9 range. Healthcare and legal push $12 to $25 because AdventHealth and Orlando Health both bid hard on procedural keyword sets, and personal-injury firms compete aggressively on I-4 corridor injury intent. Tourism keywords spike seasonally with theme-park calendars. PPC works in Orlando when the campaign architecture separates the Winter Park and Dr. Phillips affluent submarkets from the broader Central Florida metro and filters out theme-park visitor noise. Properly run Orlando campaigns deliver cost per leads under $120 in trades and under $250 in legal.
Management starts at $500 per month, separate from your ad spend. Typical Orlando 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 haggling, no hidden upsells.
No reputable PPC agency guarantees a specific cost per lead, because both are controlled by the Google Ads auction, the season, and your offer. Orlando especially varies, with hurricane-season home-services spikes, theme-park calendar tourism shifts, and snowbird-season retiree volume all moving the math. What we guarantee is the work: conversion tracking shipped properly, dedicated landing pages per intent, monthly negative-keyword review (Orlando needs negatives around Tampa, Daytona, and tourist-information searches), 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 Orlando 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 Orlando auction (especially against AdventHealth and Orlando Health in healthcare verticals). 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 Orlando geo (Tampa, Daytona, and theme-park visitor noise all get filtered), audience segmentation refinement, call quality scoring, monthly reporting tied to leads and revenue, and a strategy call with DJ Van Zanten. Orlando retainers above the base tier include landing page production and CRM offline-conversion wiring.
Yes. PPC is the fastest channel for a new Orlando business because it does not depend on review history or earned visibility, both of which are slow to accrue against entrenched Winter Park and Dr. Phillips 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.
