How a 78-year-old Gulf Coast glass company drove 76% more Google Ads conversions on a 2.29% spend increase.
Peoria service businesses run in a Northwest Valley auction that gets folded into Phoenix metro bids, where 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 Peoria PPC programs miss that we don't.
Peoria gets buried in Phoenix-metro bids if the geo is sloppy.
Most agencies set Peoria up as a radius around Phoenix and watch the budget bleed east to Glendale and Scottsdale clicks that never convert for a Northwest Valley business. We split geo at the Loop 101 line and the West Valley zip clusters so Peoria, Sun City, and the Vistancia corridor are bid on their own terms, not as a Phoenix afterthought.
Peoria's snowbird and retiree demand reshapes the ad calendar.
The Sun City and Sun City West buyer pool flips the seasonal curve. Home services and healthcare demand peaks October through April when other markets are quiet. Generic ad copy that works in Tempe gets ignored by a 70-year-old buyer who wants the price, the license number, and a real local number, not 'fast and friendly' filler.
Peoria PPC math closes on cost per booked lead.
Arizona's summer cooling demand and winter retiree influx make week-over-week spend charts look chaotic. We report leading indicators weekly. Leads, cost per lead, and revenue ship monthly against the CRM so the conversation is about whether the campaign paid back across the seasonal swing, not whether clicks were up last Tuesday.
Ranking for queries that do not convert
In Peoria, 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 Peoria 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 Peoria PPC retainer, not as upsells.
Every Peoria PPC engagement starts with the same audit and gets the same build, whether the campaign targets the older retiree communities west of Lake Pleasant or the younger families pushing into Vistancia and Trilogy. The work below is what keeps West Valley spend from disappearing into the Phoenix radius.
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 Peoria 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 Peoria 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 Peoria 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 Peoria PPC playbook turns clicks into customers most reliably.
Peoria’s economy splits between Northwest Valley home services serving an older retiree base and growing families, healthcare anchored by the Banner Boswell network into Sun City, and a steady hospitality and youth-sports economy built around the Peoria Sports Complex and the spring-training crowd. These are the verticals where our PPC programs deliver the most consistent cost-per-lead math.
HVAC dominates the Peoria trades calendar. Summer heat punishes underbuilt AC systems from May through September, and the Sun City retiree base treats system replacement as a one-call decision when a unit fails in 115-degree heat. We build emergency-intent call-only campaigns, geo-target the Northwest Valley across 85345, 85381, 85382, 85383, and the Vistancia 85383 cluster, and route to tap-to-call landing pages that load under 2.5 seconds on the mid-tier Android devices common in the retiree segment. Cost per lead typically lands $65 to $130 once optimized.
Peoria’s healthcare market orbits Banner Boswell and Banner Del E. Webb out in Sun City West, plus the independent dental and primary-care practices serving the retiree corridor. We run procedure-specific ad groups (implants, dentures, cataract co-management, Medicare-friendly primary care), insurance-friendly landing pages that name the actual Medicare Advantage carriers accepted, and conversion tracking through the booking platform. Form fills are not enough. We track the call because retirees still prefer phone.
Contractors and remodelers in Peoria work the Trilogy at Vistancia and Blackstone Country Club high-end remodel market, the older Sun City patio-cover and kitchen-refresh trade, and new pool-and-paver work for the families moving up Lake Pleasant Parkway. We run project-type ad groups, image and video creative shot at real Peoria jobsites, and quote-form landing pages with realistic price-band framing so the older buyer pool gets the number before the appointment.
Peoria attorneys handle a heavier-than-average estate planning, elder law, and probate caseload because of the retiree demographic, plus the usual family law, personal injury, and DUI work. Arizona State Bar advertising rules on guarantees and specialization are strict and we keep ad copy and landing pages on the right side of the line. Consultation-booking landing pages tie the $30 to $70 click to a booked call, not a hang-up.
Peoria’s restaurant and hospitality economy spikes hard during spring training. The Mariners and Padres share the Peoria Sports Complex from late February through March and pull crowds from Sun City, the Phoenix metro, and out-of-state visitors. We build event-driven scheduling around the spring schedule, OpenTable conversion tracking where it applies, and geo-fenced ad groups inside the Sports Complex and around Old Town Peoria during peak weeks.
Auto repair and detailing in Peoria run on a transient seasonal customer base. Snowbirds drive in for the winter, leave the car for repairs while they fly home, and need a shop that communicates in English and on text. We run emergency-intent call-only campaigns, OEM-specific ad groups for the Lexus, Mercedes, and Tesla service common in the Vistancia and Sun City Grand demographic, and parts-and-labor landing pages with clear winter-storage service framing.
Peoria’s specialty retail clusters at the P83 Entertainment District, Park West, and the Arrowhead Towne Center spillover into West Bell Road. We run Google Shopping campaigns with current product feeds, local-inventory ads tied to store hours, store-visit conversion tracking, and remarketing audiences segmented by category. Performance Max takes the awareness layer for furniture and outdoor-living retail. Manual search captures the high-intent buyer for golf equipment and specialty gifts.
Peoria’s B2B economy is smaller than central Phoenix but real. Construction-services vendors supporting the Vistancia and Lake Pleasant build-out, commercial HVAC servicing the Sun City facility base, and managed IT serving the medical-office corridor along West Bell. 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 first-touch click cost.
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 Peoria 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 Peoria campaigns from the ground up: ad groups by intent, ad copy with the maximum Responsive Search Ads asset count, sitelinks tuned to Peoria 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 Peoria. Not what looks good on a vanity chart.
What a Peoria service-business owner actually gets, by PPC approach.
Transparent pricing. Management starts at $500/month, separate from your ad spend.
Typical Peoria 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.

Peoria PPC, straight answers.
A properly built Peoria campaign starts producing tracked conversions within the first week of launch. The first 30 days are a learning phase where the algorithm calibrates on Peoria’s seasonal swing, which is steeper than most metros because of the snowbird cycle. Cost per lead typically stabilizes by month two and improves through month three as negative-keyword lists tighten against Glendale and Surprise spillover and landing pages get conversion-rate-tested. We report weekly during the first month, monthly after that.
Peoria CPCs run roughly $5 to $12 across the trades and professional services, inheriting most of the Phoenix metro auction pressure because Google does not see Peoria as a separate market by default. HVAC sits at the top of the range during cooling-emergency season. Legal and dental run $25 to $70. PPC works in Peoria when the geo is split tightly to keep the bids off Glendale and Phoenix proper. Properly run Peoria campaigns deliver cost per lead under $110 in most trades and under $200 in legal and dental.
Management starts at $500 per month, separate from your ad spend. Typical Peoria service businesses run $500 to $1,200 per month in management on top of $2,000 to $5,000 in monthly ad spend, with cooling season often justifying a budget bump from May through September. The number depends on monthly ad spend, channel count (Google, Microsoft, Meta), 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 or conversion rate, because both are controlled by the Google Ads auction, the season, and your offer. Peoria especially swings hard with the snowbird and cooling cycle. 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. 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 Peoria 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 Northwest Valley auction (which we monitor separately from Phoenix metro). Mid-funnel: conversion rate by ad group, conversion rate by landing page, and call quality scoring on every CallRail 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 the Northwest Valley geo, audience segmentation refinement, call quality scoring, monthly reporting tied to leads and revenue, and a strategy call with DJ Van Zanten. Peoria retainers above the base tier include landing-page production for the snowbird-season and cooling-emergency campaigns.
Yes. PPC is the fastest channel for a new Peoria business because it does not depend on review history or earned visibility, which take longer to build in a market where established Sun City contractors have decades of referrals. A new business with a real offer, a clean landing page, and proper conversion tracking can produce tracked leads in Peoria within the first week. We typically pair an aggressive PPC launch with a measured SEO build over the next six months.
