SERVICE-BUSINESS CASE STUDY

How a 78-year-old Gulf Coast glass company drove 76% more Google Ads conversions on a 2.29% spend increase.

Overland Park service businesses run in a Kansas City metro auction where the state line bisects the buyer pool, the Sprint and Garmin corporate base anchors a deep professional buyer demographic, and median household income runs well above the regional norm. 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.

WHY LITHIUM FOR OVERLAND PARK PPC

Three things Overland Park PPC programs miss that we don't.

Overland Park's Kansas-Missouri state line splits the auction.

Google treats the Kansas City metro as one DMA, but Overland Park buyers do not cross State Line Road for service the way the impression data suggests they should. An untuned campaign spends Johnson County budget on Jackson County clicks that never convert. We pin geo-targeting tight to Johnson County first, then layer the Missouri side only when the math supports it.

Overland Park buyers expect Johnson County specificity.

Downtown Overland Park, the Corporate Woods corridor, the 119th Street retail spine, and the affluent residential pockets around Leawood and Prairie Village all behave like distinct submarkets. Ad copy that names a Johnson County submarket and a specific service consistently outperforms a generic Kansas City headline. Quality Score moves accordingly.

Overland Park PPC math closes on cost per booked lead, not impressions.

The Johnson County median household income runs well above the national average, which lifts both expectations and conversion-path complexity. 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 in the Johnson County buyer pool.

Strategic comparison of traditional PPC agencies vs Lithium Marketing across conversion tracking, landing pages, bid management, reporting and attribution, and strategy ownership

Ranking for queries that do not convert

In Overland Park, 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 Overland Park 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.

WHAT'S INCLUDED IN EVERY OVERLAND PARK PPC RETAINER

Eight things we ship inside every Overland Park PPC retainer, not as upsells.

An Overland Park PPC program needs every line item in this list working together. The Kansas-Missouri state-line geo split, the deep corporate buyer pool, and the affluent Johnson County demographics 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 Overland Park 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 Overland Park 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 Overland Park 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.

OVERLAND PARK SERVICE BUSINESSES WE RUN PPC FOR

The verticals where our Overland Park PPC playbook turns clicks into customers most reliably.

Overland Park’s economy splits between a deep corporate-services and finance base anchored by the legacy Sprint footprint and Garmin headquarters, the AdventHealth Shawnee Mission and Saint Luke’s South healthcare gravity, the Johnson County professional-services market, and a steady home-services demand across the affluent residential corridors. These are the verticals where our PPC programs deliver the most consistent cost-per-lead math.

Home services

Overland Park’s mature housing stock keeps HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and roofing trades in steady demand from the established neighborhoods near Downtown Overland Park through the newer construction pushing south past 159th Street. Severe Kansas weather drives predictable storm-damage roofing in spring, AC emergency volume in summer, and burst-pipe calls through the winter. We build emergency-intent call-only campaigns, suburb-level geo-targeting across Johnson County (Leawood, Prairie Village, Olathe), 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.

Dental and medical practices

Independent dental and medical practices in Overland Park operate in the orbit of AdventHealth Shawnee Mission and Saint Luke’s South, both of which bid hard on procedural keywords with system-level budgets. We run procedure-specific ad groups, insurance-friendly landing pages naming the actual carriers (Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas City, Aetna, Cigna), and conversion tracking through your booking platform. Not just form submissions. The booked appointment is the lead, and we wire CallRail to the practice management system so the click traces all the way to revenue.

Contractors and construction

Overland Park’s contractor demand splits between custom-home work in the affluent residential pockets near Leawood and Mission Hills, the steady new construction pushing south into Olathe and Spring Hill, and remodel work in the older neighborhoods near Downtown Overland Park. We run project-type ad groups (kitchen remodels, finished basements common in Kansas builds, storm-damage roof replacements), image and YouTube creative with real Johnson County project photography, and quote-form landing pages with realistic price-range expectation setting.

Legal and professional services

Overland Park attorneys handle a heavy mix of corporate work tied to the metro’s professional-services base, family law, estate planning for an affluent retirement-bound demographic, personal injury along the I-435 and I-35 corridors, and the cross-border Kansas-Missouri jurisdictional work that defines a state-line metro. We run practice-area campaigns tied to actual buyer intent, write ad copy that meets Kansas Supreme Court and Missouri Bar advertising rules where the firm practices in both states, and tie consultation-booking landing pages to CallRail so the high-CPC legal click traces to a booked call.

Hospitality and restaurants

Overland Park’s restaurant scene concentrates around the Downtown Overland Park district, the 119th Street and Metcalf retail corridor, and the newer Prairiefire and Bluhawk developments. Volume swings with Chiefs and Royals home games across the metro, Sporting KC events at Children’s Mercy Park nearby, and Johnson County school-calendar dining patterns. We build local-intent search campaigns, OpenTable and Resy conversion tracking, event-driven campaign scheduling, and geo-fenced ad groups in the high-traffic retail clusters during peak dinner windows.

Auto services

Auto repair, body shops, detailing, and fleet maintenance in Overland Park handle the standard Midwest weather mix: hail damage in spring, salt corrosion through the winter, plus the heavy commuter mileage on I-435, I-35, and US-69. 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 Lenexa, Olathe, and Leawood to capture commute-route searches.

Specialty retail

Overland Park’s specialty retail concentrates around the Town Center Plaza, the Oak Park Mall corridor, the Prairiefire development, and the Downtown Overland Park boutique cluster. We run Google Shopping campaigns with product feeds, local-inventory ads tied to store hours, store-visit conversion tracking, and remarketing audiences segmented by product category. Performance Max often takes the awareness layer; manual search captures the high-intent decision.

B2B services

Overland Park’s B2B service economy runs deep on the legacy Sprint and current T-Mobile footprint, Garmin’s corporate base, the financial-services and accounting firms serving the Johnson County professional market, and the Corporate Woods office tenant base. 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.

OUR PROCESS

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.

01

Audit and strategy

Week 1

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 Overland Park buyer journeys, and revenue per lead. You receive an audit deliverable in week one with priorities ranked by impact.

02

Conversion infrastructure

Week 2

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.

03

Campaign build

Week 2–3

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.

04

Launch and learning phase

Week 3–6

We build your Overland Park campaigns from the ground up: ad groups by intent, ad copy with the maximum Responsive Search Ads asset count, sitelinks tuned to Overland Park 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.

05

Ongoing optimization

Week 6–7

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.

06

Measurement and monthly iteration

Post-launch

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 Overland Park. Not what looks good on a vanity chart.

OVERLAND PARK PPC PRICING

Typical Overland Park service businesses run $500 to $1,500 per month in management on top of $2,000 to $5,000 in monthly ad spend.

No haggling, no hidden upsells.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Overland Park PPC, straight answers.

A properly built Overland Park 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 Missouri-side Kansas City spillover that consistently 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.

Overland Park CPCs run on the higher side of mid-tier. Most service verticals sit in the $5 to $10 range, healthcare and legal push $12 to $28 because AdventHealth Shawnee Mission and Saint Luke’s South bid hard on procedural keyword sets and the affluent Johnson County demographic raises the legal auction floor. Johnson County median household income runs well above the national average, which is the upside: the buyer pool is decision-ready and budget-flexible. Properly run Overland Park campaigns deliver cost per leads under $130 in trades and under $260 in legal.

Management starts at $500 per month, separate from your ad spend. Typical Overland Park 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. What we guarantee is the work: conversion tracking shipped properly, dedicated landing pages per intent, monthly negative-keyword review (Overland Park needs negatives around Missouri-side Kansas City spillover and Lawrence-area searches), 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 Overland Park 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 Overland Park auction (especially against AdventHealth Shawnee Mission and Saint Luke’s South 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 Johnson County geo (Missouri-side Kansas City and Lawrence-area 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. Overland Park retainers above the base tier include landing page production and CRM offline-conversion wiring.

Yes. PPC is the fastest channel for a new Overland Park business because it does not depend on review history or earned visibility, both of which are slow to accrue against entrenched Johnson 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.
