How a Chimney & Fireplace Company Quadrupled Phone Calls From Google Ads

Calls were coming in, but not enough of them and at too high a cost. We rebuilt the account around services, locations and high-intent local searches, then cleaned up conversion tracking so bidding could work properly.

Overview

Turning local search demand into booked jobs

The business offers chimney cleaning, inspection, repair and fireplace installation across several Georgia service areas. It relied on Google Ads for new customers, but results were inconsistent and the cost of each lead was too high to scale.

We reviewed the whole account and rebuilt it around how customers actually search: by service and by location, with ads written to make the phone ring.

What we worked on

  • Google Ads managementSearch and Performance Max, managed monthly.
  • Service & location structureCampaigns split by service and service area.
  • Call-focused adsCopy and assets built to drive calls.
  • Conversion trackingCalls and forms tracked as clean, primary goals.

The challenge

Spend was going out, qualified calls were not coming in

In October 2025 the account produced 67 phone calls and 54 form leads at $104 per conversion.

  1. 01

    Weak structure

    Campaigns were not organised by service or location, so budget could not follow demand.

  2. 02

    Broad keyword targeting

    Too much spend went to searches without clear local, high-intent need.

  3. 03

    Uneven lead quality

    Some calls and forms were not real prospects, which made results hard to trust.

  4. 04

    High cost per conversion

    At $104 per conversion, growing the budget was not profitable.

The solution

A service-led account built for calls

We focused every change on one outcome: more qualified calls and forms from people ready to book.

  1. 01

    Restructured by service & location

    Separate campaigns for cleaning, inspection, repair and installation in each area.

  2. 02

    High-intent local keywords

    Budget moved to searches like chimney repair and chimney cleaning near me.

  3. 03

    Call-first ad copy

    Offers, call assets and clear pricing to turn searches into calls.

  4. 04

    Bidding, budgets & tracking

    Cleaned-up conversion actions so smart bidding optimised for real leads.

Results

More calls, more leads, lower cost per lead

The business chose to reinvest in the account once each lead cost less, and volume grew with it.

Before

Inconsistent and expensive

Too few calls for the spend, with uneven lead quality.

After

Consistent, scalable lead flow

Strong call volume from local service keywords, with 88–100% optimisation scores across campaigns.
