Follow the money
Your ad money never passes through us.
Two setups make an agency's real cost hard to see: ad spend billed through the agency's own account, and a fee that's a percentage of your spend, which grows when your budget grows whether your leads do or not. We use neither.
To GoogleYour ad budget
Billed by Google to your card, in ad accounts in your name. You set the ceiling. We work inside it.
To us$499/mo
Flat. Never a percentage of your spend. Covers up to $5,000 a month in combined ad spend.
Markup on your spend$0
Google bills your card. The money never hits our books, so there is nothing to mark up.
If you leave, you keep your ad accounts, their campaigns and their lead history. Nothing to hand over: the accounts were in your name from day one.
Straight answers
What we promise. What nobody honestly can.
We promise
Your ad accounts are in your name, on your card, and stay yours if you leave.
A weekly search term review, in writing.
You see what we see: full access to your ad accounts, any time.
Month to month. No long-term contract.
We'll tell you when an ad isn't worth the money, even if it's ours.
We won't promise
A number of leads, a cost per lead or a top spot. Lead prices are set in a live auction against your competitors, and Google decides who gets screened in. Nobody can honestly promise those numbers. Anyone who does is guessing with your money.
We run Google Ads for Arizona Pixel Lab too, with our own money, under the same rules. That's where the opinions on this page come from.
New since October 1, 2026
Google now bills for some calls you never answer.
Local Services Ads can charge a missed call as a lead when the caller stays on the line more than 20 seconds during your business hours, with a few exceptions. Your listed hours just became a billing setting.
0:20
So we set your listed business hours to the hours someone actually picks up, and we check missed calls every week. If calls are slipping through, you hear it from us that week, with the times they came in.
On any of our website plans, missed-call text back is already included, so a missed caller gets a text back within about a minute instead of silence. It won't undo Google's charge. It gives you a shot at the job you just paid for. Texts and calls are billed per use, on top of the monthly price. How missed-call text back works.
Search "plumber near me" in Phoenix and you'll often see both kinds stacked above the regular results. They bill differently and need different care.
You pay per lead
Local Services Ads
The boxed listings with the Google Verified badge. Google charges when a customer calls, messages or books you through the ad, not when they look.
What we do
Get your application through Google's screening, which can include license, insurance and background checks depending on your trade
Set job types and service areas tight, because Google no longer credits leads for jobs you don't do or places you don't go
Set the budget and target cost per lead, and adjust them as lead costs move
Review leads every week and report poor ones through Google's feedback survey
Keep your listed business hours to when someone actually answers, because Google now bills some missed calls
Only some service categories qualify, and Google decides who passes screening. We can't buy you in.
You pay per click
Google Search ads
The text ads marked Sponsored. You choose the searches, the words and the page each click lands on. Google charges when someone clicks.
What we do
Build around searches that mean "I need this done", not "how do I do this myself"
Read the search terms every week and block the junk: DIY, jobs, free, wrong city
Write the ads, and test new versions once there's enough traffic to tell which wins
Send clicks to a landing page built for one job, not your homepage
Track calls and form fills, so Google's automated bidding and our changes aim at leads, not cheap clicks
A click costs money whether or not they call. That's why the junk review is weekly, not quarterly.
We usually start with both, then put the money where your leads cost less. If one is wrong for your trade, we'll say so before you spend a dollar on it.

A website rebuild. That's what our website plans are for.
Setup
$299 once. $0 on a website plan.
It pays for the work done before Google bills you a cent. Skip tracking at setup and every report after it is a guess, so tracking goes in first.
01
Audit or build
Already running ads? We audit what's there and keep what works. Starting fresh? We set up Search ads and Local Services Ads in your name.
02
Tracking first
Call and form tracking goes in before a dollar is spent, so every report is real.
03
Local Services onboarding
We walk you through Google's screening. Background checks and document reviews take as long as Google takes.
04
Landing page
One page built for the job you most want more of, live before the ads go on.
05
Launch and learn
The first weeks show what clicks and leads cost in your market. We tell you plainly what we're seeing.
Waived for clients on Launch, Grow, Local Demand Engine or Automated Social.
Fit check
Who this is for. Who it isn't.
A good fit
Plumbing, HVAC, roofing, electrical, pest, pool, landscaping and other local service businesses
You can answer the phone during the hours you advertise
You plan to spend up to $5,000 a month with Google
You want to see the numbers, good or bad
Not a fit
You need a promised number of leads by a date. We won't make that promise, and you should be wary of anyone who does.
Nobody picks up during the hours you advertise. Local Services Ads can now bill you for missed calls.
Your budget can't survive a few weeks of learning what clicks and leads cost in your market.
How we work
Not ad results. How we treat clients.
These are from our website clients. Ads management is our newest service, so read them as how we work, not as ad results.
Sean and John have been amazing! My business website was not doing as well as it could have been and I received a free review and call to discuss the potential changes that they could provide. I was extremely impressed and decided to make the switch. … I would strongly recommend them to anyone looking to update their website and get more leads!
Five star experience! Highly recommend! Complete redesign and expansion of my site, SEO, and more for 1/4 of what I was quoted elsewhere. They were fast, my site looks and works AMAZING, service was stellar. Can't recommend AZ Pixel Lab highly enough!!!
These guys created and manage my business website and we couldn’t be happier! They are extremely efficient and super easy to work with. The cost is very reasonable and affordable. I have recommended them to a few people and will continue to do so!
No. $499 a month is our management fee. Google bills your ad spend to your own card, in your own accounts. We never mark it up, and the fee covers up to $5,000 a month in combined spend.
Start from what a job is worth to you and how many quotes you close, then test what leads cost in your area. Your free ads plan gives you a starting number built that way, and you can change it any time.
Often, yes. They catch different searchers: Local Services Ads bill per lead and carry the Google Verified badge, while Search ads let you pick the searches and send people to a page built for the job. Some categories can't run Local Services Ads at all. Your free plan says which fits.
We'll get your application right and keep it moving. Google runs the screening, which can include license, insurance and background checks depending on your trade and location, and Google makes the call.
On October 20, 2025, Google replaced the Google Guaranteed and Google Screened badges with one Google Verified badge, and ended the money-back guarantee that came with Guaranteed. If someone is still selling you "Google Guaranteed", they're working from an old playbook.
Not by disputing them anymore. Google filters invalid leads before charging, re-checks charged leads and credits some automatically, usually within 30 days. It no longer credits leads for job types or areas you don't serve, so we keep those settings tight. We review leads every week and report poor ones through Google's feedback survey. Google may also occasionally credit leads reported that way.
Yes. You add us as a manager on your Google Ads account, and we audit before we touch anything. We keep what works, fix what doesn't, and nothing gets deleted without telling you first.
We'll quote it. Bigger accounts take more work, and a flat $499 wouldn't be honest past that point.
$299, once. It's waived if you're on any of our website plans (Launch, Grow, Local Demand Engine or Automated Social). It covers the audit or build, conversion tracking, Local Services onboarding and your landing page.
No. It's month to month, with no long-term contract. Cancel and you keep your ad accounts, their campaigns and their lead history. Notice and terms are in the written service agreement.
