The Challenge
Your Google Ads campaign launched with optimism, but weeks later the numbers tell a disappointing story. Costs are mounting, conversions are disappointing, and you’re not sure what’s broken—the targeting, the messaging, the bidding strategy, or something else entirely.
- Performance dashboards show problems but not causes
- Unclear whether keywords, ads, or targeting are the issue
- Wasted spend continues while you debug
- Lack of PPC expertise delays effective fixes
- Fear of making changes that make things worse
- Pressure to justify continued investment or kill the campaign

A home services company launched a Google Ads campaign for “emergency plumbing” but conversions are terrible despite high click costs. Ad Planner Pro’s search term analysis reveals 40% of budget goes to informational searches like “how to fix a leak yourself” and “plumbing cost estimates”—people researching, not ready to hire. Strategic negative keywords eliminate DIY and cost-research terms, immediately cutting wasted spend by 35% and doubling conversion rate by focusing budget on true emergency intent.
