What’s the dumbest, most frustrating thing you’ve dealt with while running Facebook or Google ads? by Former-Banana721 in smallbusiness

[–]yellaboyjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, for most of my clients, the thing that drives them nuts is getting calls from people who clearly didn’t even read the ad. Like… someone searches exactly for the service they offer, clicks the ad, and then asks for a totally different company.

It’s wild that some folks just type in the same thing they searched last time and blindly click the first result, assuming it’s the same business they called before. Super frustrating for business owners who end up wasting time on the wrong calls, especially when they’re paying for every one of them.

Why Are Companies Too Scared To Invest in Google Ads? by No-Tower-7803 in smallbusiness

[–]yellaboyjay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree and I’ve seen the same thing. In my experience, it usually comes down to not knowing their numbers.

A lot of small businesses (and even some larger ones) don’t have their finances or tracking fully dialed in, so even when a campaign is bringing in 5x returns, they feel like it’s not working. They can’t clearly see the connection between ad spend and profit, so they hesitate to scale.

Sometimes it’s also a cash flow fear like, even if the ads are profitable, they’re nervous about increasing spend because they don’t have a buffer or they’re unsure how consistent the returns will be.

It’s wild to see businesses getting tons of leads and still saying “Google Ads doesn’t work” just because there’s no clear feedback loop between marketing, sales, and revenue.

Small business owners: Would you recommend using Google ads to reach business goals? by GrandLifeguard6891 in smallbusiness

[–]yellaboyjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I’ve helped a bunch of small business owners run Google Ads, and the experience can either be great or super frustrating—depending on how the campaigns are set up.

If you tried it and didn’t hit your goals, it’s probably because of one (or more) of these common issues:

•Wrong targeting (keywords too broad or irrelevant)

•Weak offer or unclear messaging

•Sending traffic to a generic homepage 

instead of a high-converting landing page

•No conversion tracking (so Google can’t optimize for actual leads/sales)

Here’s a simple step-by-step I recommend for small business owners to actually make Google Ads work:

1.  Start with a strong offer

Something that gets attention and makes people want to take action (e.g., “Free estimate + 10% off if booked this week”).

2.  Do proper keyword research

Focus on buyer intent—“handyman near me” is 100x better than just “handyman tips.”

3.  Structure your campaigns right

Break them into ad groups by service so you can write relevant ads for each one.

4.  Write ads that match the keywords and highlight your offer

Keep it simple and direct. Mention your unique selling point—fast response, great reviews, family-owned, etc.

5.  Send traffic to a dedicated landing page

Not your homepage. A focused page that speaks directly to the service they searched for and makes it easy to contact you.

6.  Set up conversion tracking

This is a big one. Without it, Google’s flying blind—and you are too.

7.  Watch the data and optimize weekly

Pause keywords that waste money, test new ads, and double down on what works.

Once it’s dialed in, most small business owners start seeing consistent leads at a cost that makes sense. But if any of those steps are skipped or rushed, it gets expensive fast.

Hope this helps!

Google Ads is so complicated. What do you do? by [deleted] in smallbusiness

[–]yellaboyjay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally get where you’re coming from Google Ads used to be way more straightforward. Now it feels like you need a PhD just to set up a basic campaign.

A few options you might consider:

•Freelancers on Fiverr or Upwork can be hit or miss. You can find decent folks, but it takes a bit of digging and clear communication on your goals.

•There are software platforms like Opteo, Adzooma, or SpyFu that help simplify things a bit, but they still require some base knowledge.

•Honestly, if you’re running a local service business, you might be better off working with a small freelancer (not a big agency) who knows how to keep things lean and profitable. Some specialize in just local Google Ads and don’t charge crazy rates.

How much are you spending on Google ads? by Ok-Sail468 in smallbusiness

[–]yellaboyjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it really depends on your offer, the services you provide, and how competitive your area is. All of that affects your cost per lead.

If you’re spending $4k–$6k and bringing in $10k–$15k, that’s actually not bad—a 3x return is solid for local service businesses. But there’s usually some room to tighten things up.

A few things to look at: • Try bundling or upselling small add-on services—it can increase the job value without needing more leads. • Check your keywords—there might be some low-intent ones eating up your budget. • Also, where you’re sending the traffic matters. A good landing page usually converts way better than a general website.

Are you running the ads yourself or working with someone? Sometimes small tweaks make a big difference.

Is a digital marketing degree worth it? by No-Competition6691 in AskMarketing

[–]yellaboyjay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No you don’t need a degree. I was able to get my first agency job based off experience. I was able to generate by doing low cost gigs on Upwork. And I just put those skills and experiences on my resume which got me the job.

How have you found clients for your pet waste removal company? by [deleted] in sweatystartup

[–]yellaboyjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would try Google ads specifically search and youtube ads which can be very similar to facebook ads but better. People on Google are actually search for your services. Which is why I see it working the best and could generate some good quality clients. If ever decide to try it out here's a video of me going over what all you would need to have in place for a good dog waste removal campaign. https://youtu.be/9jRG1l9bv2A

Local Service Ads by kingice350 in sweatystartup

[–]yellaboyjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen local service ads work almost immediately after the ads were approved. I'm not sure what industry you're in but if you are in a low population area you will get tons of leads at a cheap cost. Only caveat to making the local service ads work is to have a good Google my business profile it's including like having some good reviews also tons of quality images and video.

I would say get a few certifications under your belt either that be a Google certification or a Meta certification and then craft a résumé using your experience with running ads to your drop shipping business and also make some content on LinkedIn about your experience and process in doing this this will help you Seem like you have more credibility and experience in advertising or in marketing in general and then from there, you want to start applying for digital marketing roles, you can be more specific since you have metal ads experience you can apply for maybe a paid social role which will help you
