Why my seo and google ads no longer deliver quality leads?

25 years ago, I started a cleaning company and, being one of the few with a website at the time, I gained a lot of clients. Many of whom I still work with today. Essentially the business has lived off the momentum of that simple website for 25 years.

Today I spend over 10.000€ per year on Google Ads and link building, yet I can only dream of getting the kind of high quality contacts I used to receive back then.

I’m not complaining that those 10.000€ don’t produce the same results I achieved for free decades ago (I understand that back then I had no competition, so it was normal that everyone found only me). What concerns me instead is the very low quality of the inquiries I receive.

I believe the issues are the following:

  • Being ranked 1st or at least 2nd/3rd for major national keywords brings in requests from all over Italy
  • With Google Ads, even after limiting the radius to just a few dozen kilometers and always appearing first (since I’m the top bidder), the quality is still very low

What can I do if both SEO and Google Ads have stopped working?
Is this normal?

Do you ever feel like “good metrics” don’t mean much anymore?

Lately I’ve been running campaigns where everything looks fine on paper.CTR is decent, CPC is under control, even conversion tracking shows activity. But when I actually look at the final numbers, it just doesn’t feel right. Revenue is not matching the effort or traffic volume.What confuses me more is when I scale down traffic, sometimes performance barely changes. Almost like a big chunk of traffic wasn’t doing anything useful in the first place.Also noticed GEO differences getting more extreme. Same campaign setup, but users from different regions behave completely differently after landing.

Feels like we’re at a point where getting traffic is easy, but getting the right kind of traffic is the real challenge.Anyone else dealing with this lately.

Thanks!

Is it still doable to start a service-based business from scratch using mostly Google Ads?

Alongside that, what are your preferred ways of generating leads?

Search campaign Set up

I sell products to totes different audience eg mom of teenager daughter, husbands, at least 10 different audiences

  1. should I put everything in one group or split into ad groups ?

  2. On what basis should I split into diff ad groups?? instinct tells me shouldn’t be audience group as it will be too thin. Can you give me an example eg selling athletes shoes how would you split into ad groups

  3. Also how many keywords should I have in each ad group? i noted the more keywords you have the lower max CPC - how should I structure this?

thanks

All campaigns tracking is fine except of one that used to work fine but not anymore.

I have this one campaign that stopped tracking for some reason. I checked in the campaign goals they're all the same.
I checked google tag on the page, looks fine.
I also tested Tracking template and looks fine as well.
What it can be?

Google Local Service Ads - Keep getting out of state leads with Direct Business Search turned on

I have a client that's a local HVAC contractor that started advertising on LSA earlier this year.

We started advertising with Direct Business Search toggled on to take advantage of their name recognition in the market.

From the beginning, we started to get leads from out of state. My client is located in NY and we have received calls from Washington, Arizona, Illinois, Tennessee - wildly out of service area locations.

We put in a support ticket to to try and resolve this as we have a very defined service area on both the LSA profile and their GBP. Additionally, even though they are a service area business, we show the business address on the GBP as that's been an issue we've encountered in the past.

The replies we received from support seemed to suggest they didn't understand our issue as they thought we were reporting leads for services we don't provide or that we were disputing leads we were charged for.

One lead we reported with a transcript of the call highlighting very clearly that the caller was from Washington state, the response we got was that the lead could not be disputed because the call discussed a business matter, which was the company's CSR asking for name and address.

We've rated and left feedback in the comment section of each lead detailing these leads as out of the service area.

We are now not receiving any additional replies from support and the out of state leads are still coming in with Direct Business Search toggled on.

Any suggestions on what we should try next?
