Interesting. I didn't know this is what you were running Google Ads for.1. Helping Local Services With Marketing
Blaming @Andy Black and @IceCreamKid for it.
(just kidding)
I'm testing whether I can quickly start a simple, boring business. So I'm running a Google Ads experiment for Google Ads management for three local services.
This idea is the closest to money, the simplest to explain, and with the most proven demand. The problem is that I have zero results, zero proof, and zero experience myself. Still, I set up three landing pages and started running ads to them. I also joined relevant Facebook groups, though the operators mostly talk about the job and not the running business part.

I'm not getting many clicks because the keywords are very specific. The campaigns have also been running only since Sunday.
I got my first lead yesterday, though it's for a free audit and not the service in itself. I emailed him and let's see if I even get a response. In the meantime, I posted a job on Upwork for someone to prepare the actual audit and found the right person for it (not hired yet as it depends whether the lead actually responds).
I have a feeling the guy who filled out the form on the landing page won't respond or will ghost me once I send the audit and tell him the price for monthly management.
Either way, I'll run these campaigns for a few more days. For a recurring service, even getting 1-2 new clients a month could be big.
May I suggest trying to generate leads of consumers looking for local services? You'll have to do that at some point anyway, and if you can't generate leads for businesses then it's a moot point if you sign up a business to serve leads. Also, you can then use the leads to see if you can find a business to serve them.
