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.
-
01
Weak structure
Campaigns were not organized by service or location, so budget could not follow demand.
-
02
Broad keyword targeting
Too much spend went to searches without clear local, high-intent need.
-
03
Uneven lead quality
Some calls and forms were not real prospects, which made results hard to trust.
-
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.
-
01
Restructured by service & location
Separate campaigns for cleaning, inspection, repair and installation in each area.
-
02
High-intent local keywords
Budget moved to searches like chimney repair and chimney cleaning near me.
-
03
Call-first ad copy
Offers, call assets and clear pricing to turn searches into calls.
-
04
Bidding, budgets & tracking
Cleaned-up conversion actions so smart bidding optimized for real leads.
