Your ad gets the click. The page it lands on decides if you get the call.
You pay for every tap on your ad. If it lands on a home page that makes them hunt for the answer, some of that money walks away.

And you pay for that tap.

They land on a page
A general home page, or a page built for the job they searched.
- 3Choose
They call, or go back
One job and one button gets the call.
Why it matters
Google grades the page, not just the ad
Google says Ad Rank uses the quality of your ads and your landing page, and that higher quality can win a better spot at a lower price. [2]
The page itself matters, too. On home improvement pages, the best quarter turn far more visitors into action than a typical one. [3]
Why we wait to turn ads on
People who see an ad often check your reviews before they call. So ads start only once your Google profile is ready.
Ads start when all 3 are true
- 60 dayson the Maps and reviews plan
- Completeyour Google profile has hours, services, and photos
- 10+ reviewsaveraging 4.0 stars or higher
What CornerWick does about it
- Builds a page for each ad group, with the job, the town, your stars, and a call button
- Keeps those ad pages out of regular search, so they don't compete with your site
- You set the monthly budget cap, paid straight to Google on your card
- Shows spend, calls, and form requests from ads in your monthly report
