Technical approach

The mechanics behind SEM for tree services and arborists, explained plainly.

Match types and query sculpting

Exact and phrase tiers protect budget on "tree removal near me" style terms while broad match experiments run in controlled ad groups with aggressive negatives.

Agent and office campaign tiers

Individual booker campaigns use portfolio landings and instant scheduling. Office and panel enquiries get separate paths, offers and conversion values so CPA reflects relationship LTV, not a single {conversion_unit}.

Quality Score and landing experience

Ad relevance, expected CTR and landing page experience are improved together. Slow or generic pages drag CPA up even when keywords are right.

Bid strategies tied to conversions

Target CPA or Maximize Conversions with safeguards activate only after conversion volume is trustworthy. Value-based bidding layers on when CRM passes revenue values back.
