5 ways Louisville contractors waste PPC budget
Sending Google Ads traffic to a generic homepage instead of a service-specific landing page.
No negative keywords — paying for "free", "DIY", "jobs", and "salary" searches every month.
Running ads outside the Louisville–Jefferson County metro and bleeding clicks to other markets.
No call tracking, so you cannot tell which keywords actually produce booked jobs.
Slow lead response — the average Louisville contractor takes 4+ hours to call a web lead. Top performers call in under 5 minutes.
