What we set up and run

All of it built by us, in ad accounts that belong to you, aimed only at the area you actually work in.

Google Search Ads

The ad that appears the moment someone types what you do and where you are. Tight keywords, real negative lists, and your phone number on the ad. Not a broad-match campaign paying for "free DIY plumbing tips".

Local Services Ads

The verified listings at the very top of Google. You pay per lead, not per click. We handle the licence and insurance checks, and we dispute the junk leads so you're not paying for wrong numbers.

Facebook & Instagram ads

One offer, one area, one clear button. Built to stop a thumb mid-scroll, shown to homeowners in your service radius, and worth tapping instead of scrolling past.

Google Maps & local reach

Show up on the map when people nearby search. Location targeting set to the towns you drive to, so the budget isn't spent on someone three hundred miles away.

Retargeting

Most people don't call the first time they see you. A light reminder in their feed over the next couple of weeks keeps your name in front of them until they're ready to book.

Ad creative & copy

Headlines, images and short videos made from your real jobs. A customer who sees your actual van and your actual crew behaves differently than one who sees a stock photo of a handshake.

How an ad campaign actually runs

01

You tell us what you need 15 mins

A call or a message. What work you want more of, the area you cover, and roughly what you'd like to spend. If you don't know the budget, we'll tell you what businesses your size normally spend to get started.

02

We build the campaign 3–5 days

You get the ads to look at. Two rounds of changes are included, and we text or email you the moment a new version is ready. Nothing goes live until you say the word.

03

We launch and manage it Ongoing

We set the daily budget with you, check the leads every week, cut what isn't working, and send you a plain-English report every month. You see every lead and every dollar spent.

We don't take a cut of your ad spend. That's the point.

We're not paid a percentage of your budget, so we've got no reason to talk you into spending more than the job needs.

The ad accounts are yours. Your Google Ads, Local Services and Meta accounts are set up in your name, and we're added as a manager. If you ever leave, you remove our access and everything keeps running.
You pay the platforms directly. Your card sits on the ad account. We don't mark up ad spend. We charge a flat fee for setup and management, and that number is agreed before we start.
We check the leads, not just the clicks. Cheap clicks usually mean the wrong searches, the wrong area, or people looking for a job rather than a plumber. We read the search terms and the call recordings so you don't have to.
We fix the tracking. Call tracking, conversion tracking, form submissions. Most ad disasters are a measurement problem, and they get caught before the budget goes in, not after $2,000 of clicks nobody can trace to a single booked job.
If a platform messes up, we deal with them. Rejected ads, suspended accounts, stuck LSA verification. You don't spend your Friday afternoon on hold with ad support.

Straight answer on price

Setup and management are quoted up front, before anything starts. Ad spend is whatever budget you choose — Google and Meta bill you for it directly, and you see every charge.

A typical first campaign for a one-van business is Local Services Ads plus a small Google Search campaign, and our management fee lands in the low hundreds per month on top of the ad budget.

If your budget is too small for paid ads to pay off, or your Google Business Profile would do the job for free, we'll tell you that instead of quoting you.

Danish company. California clients.

Worth being straight about this, because it's the first thing people ask when they hear the accent on the phone.

We're registered in Denmark, not the US. Albarosa ApS, CVR 46542193, Sønderborg. There's no American office and no American subsidiary, and we're not going to pretend otherwise on a website.
Our clients are in California and the states around it. Contractors, trades and local service businesses — the same people we work with at home, doing the same job in a bigger market.
Your ads target your area, not ours. Every campaign is aimed at your own service radius, in US English, billed in dollars by Google and Meta. A campaign for a San Diego client only shows to people in and around San Diego. The only thing that crosses the Atlantic is the monthly report.
The time difference is real, so we work around it. Denmark is nine hours ahead of California. In practice you send something at the end of your day and it's answered by the time you wake up. When a campaign needs a live conversation we take the call in your afternoon, which is our evening — that's our problem to solve, not yours.

Why we text from a US number

An ad campaign runs on small, time-sensitive messages: your new ads are ready to approve, Google wants a document for your LSA verification, the budget ran out early. Email is too slow for that and a nine-hour gap makes phone calls awkward.

Texting our California clients from a Danish +45 number doesn't work. It arrives looking like a scam, it costs the client to reply, and plenty of US handsets filter it outright.

So we use a US number, registered properly for business messaging, and we only text clients who asked us to. Messages go out inside 8am–9pm in your local time, never ours. Reply STOP and they stop.

Contact us

No. Ad management is sold on its own. Plenty of people come to us just for Google and Facebook ads and never buy a website or anything else, and that's fine.

Only if you ask us to. If you ask us to text you, we'll text you about your quote, your ad approvals and your campaign updates — that's it, usually two to six messages per month. Reply STOP at any time and the texts stop immediately. Message and data rates may apply. See our SMS terms and Privacy Policy.

You do, from day one. The Google Ads, Local Services and Meta accounts are in your name, and the ad copy, images and audiences we build in them stay there once the invoice is paid. Any agency on earth can pick them up without coming back to us. We're not holding your ad account hostage.

Setup is usually 3 to 5 working days from the point we have your details and account access. Google Search and Facebook ads can go live as soon as the platforms approve them, often within a day. Local Services Ads need Google's licence, insurance and background checks, which typically take two to four weeks.

Yes, and we'd rather you did — the history in an existing account is useful. If the account is a mess, we'll go through it, show you where the money is leaking, and tell you the cost of fixing it before we touch anything.

Albarosa ApS is a Danish company, registered in Sønderborg (CVR 46542193). We don't have a US office. Ad work happens online wherever you are, and we run campaigns for clients in California and the western states as well as across Denmark and Europe — always targeted at your own service area, in your local language and currency. For our California clients that means ads shown to Californians, billed by Google and Meta in dollars, no different from hiring a local agency.

Marketing that makes your phone ring.
