THE CHALLENGE

A plumbing company in a highly competitive part of New Jersey wanted to use Google Ads to scale. They'd already tried it themselves — spending $4,000 with nothing to show for it — while going up against big franchises with much bigger budgets.

They needed someone who understood both plumbing and Google Ads to consistently attract serious homeowners ready to book.
