Search Engine Marketing / Google Ads

When customers actively search for your product or service, you want to appear first — above your competitors.
That’s where Search Engine Marketing (SEM) and Google Ads come in.
At Glass House Strategies, we build and manage targeted ad campaigns that place your business directly in front of motivated buyers at the exact moment they’re ready to take action.
Whether you’re focused on Memphis, Collierville, Germantown, Southaven, Olive Branch, or any other U.S. market, our job is simple — to make sure the right people find you first.
Fast, precise, and measurable
SEO builds momentum over time, but Google Ads drive results immediately.
With paid search, we can target your audience by:
Keywords and search intent
Zip code, city, or radius
Device type
Time of day
Gender, income, or interest segments
Every dollar is allocated strategically so your budget focuses on conversions, not wasted clicks.
We continuously monitor performance, adjust bids, and refine ad copy to ensure your campaigns remain efficient and profitable.
Local Service Ad (LSA) Management
In addition to standard Google Ads, we manage Local Service Ads (LSAs) — one of the most effective ways for local businesses to appear at the very top of Google search results.
LSAs display your business name, phone number, reviews, and “Google Guaranteed” badge directly above traditional paid listings. They generate real phone calls and messages from customers ready to book now.
Our LSA management process includes:
Full setup and verification of your Google Local Services profile
Category and service selection for accurate targeting
Review management and reputation building to boost ad placement
Ongoing bid and lead optimization
Reporting that clearly shows cost per lead and ROI
Whether you’re a service-based business or a multi-location company, LSAs are one of the most powerful tools for local lead generation — and we make sure they work exactly as they should.
The foundation of every campaign
We begin every SEM project with a complete audit of your existing setup and strategy.
We look at:
Keyword alignment and search volume
Ad copy and landing page performance
Conversion tracking accuracy
Competitor activity
Budget allocation by network and device
From there, we develop a customized campaign structure designed to maximize efficiency and conversions.
Every campaign we build follows best practices — clean account organization, proper match types, negative keywords, and ad extensions that improve visibility and click-through rates.
Landing pages that convert
Sending paid traffic to a generic homepage wastes money.
That’s why we design custom landing pages focused on one clear call-to-action — whether that’s scheduling an appointment, filling out a form, or calling your business directly.
These pages match the ad message, eliminate distractions, and significantly improve conversion rates.
When done right, SEM and optimized landing pages work together like a fine-tuned sales funnel.
Transparent reporting and communication
We believe in full transparency.
Every client receives a detailed performance report showing:
Clicks, impressions, and conversions
Cost per click and cost per lead
Search terms driving traffic
Geographic and device performance
ROI comparisons month over month
You’ll always know exactly where your investment is going and what it’s producing.
We review data with you regularly, explain what’s working, and outline clear next steps.
Integration with other marketing strategies
Google Ads are most effective when combined with your SEO, social media, and content strategy.
By running both paid and organic efforts simultaneously, we help you dominate search results in multiple positions — building both short-term visibility and long-term credibility.
We also sync your campaigns with Google Business Profile posts, enhanced listings, and display or streaming ads for full-funnel coverage.
This unified approach ensures that every marketing effort supports the others.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What’s the difference between Google Ads and Local Service Ads (LSAs)?
Google Ads appear within the main search results and are charged per click. LSAs appear above all other listings and are charged per lead — meaning you only pay when a real customer calls or messages. LSAs also show your business name, reviews, and a Google Guarantee badge, which helps increase trust and conversions.
2. How much should I budget for Google Ads or LSAs?
Budgets vary by industry and location, but most businesses start between $1,000–$3,000 per month for Google Ads and $500–$2,000 for LSAs. The key is alignment with your revenue goals and lead capacity. We help you establish a budget that balances reach, cost efficiency, and expected ROI.
3. How long does it take to see results from SEM? With paid search, results can begin within days of launch. We often see new leads within the first week. However, optimization takes time. Over the first 60–90 days, we refine targeting, bidding, and ad creative to increase lead quality and lower cost per conversion. Our continuous management ensures long-term performance and scalability.
