RISE LOCAL | GOOGLE ADS MANAGEMENT

We Build the Infrastructure. Then Run the Ads.

Half the businesses we audit have broken attribution. Google is learning from bad data and optimizing for the wrong signals. Before we spend a dollar on ads, we fix what the algorithm is actually feeding on.

Server-side tracking. CTM call attribution. GHL CRM integration. Proper Thank You pages. Conversion-ready landing pages. A full campaign build — then active AI-assisted management by a team that never charges a percentage of your spend.

WHY MOST ADS FAIL

GARBAGE IN.

GARBAGE OUT.

When your conversion tracking is broken — wrong Thank You page, no server-side events, call tracking missing from the stack — Google’s algorithm optimizes on whatever data it can find. Usually that’s clicks and page views. Not revenue. The algorithm gets smarter at sending you the wrong customers, and you pay more every month for it.

HOW WE ALWAYS AFTER MONTH ONE

THREE LAYERS. AI-ASSISTED. HUMAN-REVIEWED.

Month one we’re fixing the foundation and training the algorithm. After that, our proprietary AI tools take over the repetitive work so the algorithm can learn. Then the real work — the decisions that belong to a human — happen in a closed loop between Kevin and your account.

"Paid search isn’t ‘set it and forget it’—it’s a duty of care. If you’re not paying attention, optimizing, and evolving with the platform, you’re actively losing money.”

LAYER 1 — ENTITY

Do it faster than the work that doesn’t require human judgment.

Bid adjustments, negative keyword harvesting, quality score monitoring, search term analysis — AI runs these continuously so Kevin’s time goes to strategy, not spreadsheets.

LAYER 2 — CONTENT

Make decisions that belong to a human. Every flag, every week.

Kevin reviews every optimization flag, every anomaly, every spend change. We don’t automate decisions — we automate the work that surfaces them so the right person can act fast.

LAYER 3 — AGENTIC READINESS

Leads that don’t get called back in 5 minutes don’t close.

Your GHL CRM gets the lead the moment it’s submitted. Automation sequences start immediately. Kevin monitors speed-to-lead across every campaign and helps you tighten the handoff to your sales team so the ads actually close revenue.

WHAT TO EXPECT — MONTH BY MONTH
 LET’S BE HONEST ABOUT THE TIMELINE.
Month 1–2

BUILD, LAUNCH, AND LEARN

This is where we earn the right to optimize. Tracking deployed and verified. GTM configured, CRM connected, CTM live. Campaigns built and launched — copy, audiences, bids, negatives.Google's algorithm is collecting real conversion data for the first time. Everything seeded. Nothing rushed. This phase is slower by design — the foundation you build here determines every result that follows.

Month 2–3

OPTIMIZATION KICKS IN

Clean conversion data starts doing the heavy lifting. Once conversion history is meaningful, Google's Smart Bidding starts working for you instead of against you.Kevin begins active optimization cycles — harvesting negative keywords, testing ad copy, adjusting bids by daypart, device, and geography. CPAs begin moving. Cost per lead trends down as the algorithm learns what a real customer looks like for your business.

Month 3-6

STEADY STATE — MAINTAINED, HUMAN-OPTIMIZED

This is not a set-it-and-forget-it system — it's a maintained machine. Monthly reporting covers spend, calls, cost per lead, call-to-close rates, and revenue attribution where tracking allows. Kevin reviews with you monthly and adjusts strategy based on what the data shows — not what sounds good in a deck. The difference that makes client retention what it is for Rise Local: this is the point where other agencies stop working. We don't.

Month 6-12

MORE CREATIVE REMARKETING

By now Google has 6+ months of clean conversion data and your cost per lead is predictable. This is where we layer in remarketing audiences, creative rotation, and competitor conquest campaigns.Visitors who didn't convert get followed. Past customers get retention offers. Competitors' searchers get your ads. The foundation work from Month 1 is now compounding — every dollar works harder because the algorithm knows exactly who your best customers are.

THE RISE LOCAL MODEL PATTERN

WE NEVER CHARGE A % OF AD SPEND.

When an agency charges 10–15% of spend, they make more money when your budget goes up. That’s an inherent conflict of interest. Rise Local charges a flat monthly management fee. We make money by being efficient, not by growing your budget. Our AI tools are built to maximize the quality of conversions, not inflate the quantity of impressions.

 

You control the budget. You own the account. You own the data. If you leave Rise Local tomorrow, you take your Google Ads account, your CTM account, your CRM, your DNI, and every campaign we’ve built with you. The only thing you lose is the team working on it.

 

THE ONLY WAY THIS WORKS

Flat fee management only survives as a model if the work is actually good enough to retain clients. That discipline is built into how we operate. We can’t hide behind a spend-percentage when results slip. You’ll know — because you own every number in the account.

RISE LOCAL — PAID MEDIA DIRECTOR

NOT AN ACCOUNT COORDINATOR. KEVIN ADAMS.

Kevin Adams Paid Media Director, Rise Local since 2009 CEO, Predictive Online Marketing Former Verizon / SuperPages — same era as Mike

Kevin has managed paid media for local businesses for 15+ years. He managed Google Ads and local service ads at enterprise scale at Verizon before joining Rise Local. He's not a junior buyer optimizing off a checklist — he's a strategist who's seen every version of this platform and knows where the leverage is.You control the budget. You own the account. You own the data. If you leave Rise Local tomorrow, you take your Google Ads account, your CTM account, your CRM, your DNI, and every campaign we've built with you. The only thing you lose is the team working on it. You just need to not owe us money and give a proper 30-day cancellation notice.

When your company runs with Rise Local, Kevin manages the account. Not a coordinator. Not a rotation of analysts. Kevin. He built the optimization methodology we use, he trains the AI layer that supports his work, and he runs the monthly review calls personally.

His background at Verizon Information Services means he managed performance marketing at a scale most local agencies never touch. He knows what the platform is capable of — and what it needs to perform: clean data, honest attribution, and a team that doesn’t confuse activity with results.

When your campaigns run with Rise Local, Kevin’s looking at your account every week. The AI flags the anomalies. Kevin makes the calls. You get both — and you never pay more than the flat fee to have them.

DIRECT ACCESS

Rise Local clients work directly with Kevin — not through a ticketing system, not through an account coordinator. Google Meet or phone. Real conversations about real performance. No account managers standing between you and the person running your campaigns.
