Big picture (plain English): how we launched Google Ads and why leads became steady while CPL dropped.What we did1) Campaign type — Search only- Launched Search and skipped extra formats.
- Built English, high-intent keywords: kitchen remodeling, custom kitchen, kitchen design Los Angeles, etc.
- Used Exact and Phrase match + a large negative list to filter out DIY, used, and other low-intent queries.
2) Geography — Los Angeles onlyTargeted the city (LA) to get leads from the actual service area and with the right budget.
3) Strong offers in the adsNot “cheap,” but clear value:
- Free 3D Design
- All-inclusive package
- Free soft-close upgrade for the entire set
- Licensed, bonded & insured
- Timelines & warranty in the contract
Added sitelinks:

4) Strategy - “Maximize Conversions”We started with the
Maximize Conversions strategy, using properly set goals — form submissions, calls, and WhatsApp messages.
As the campaign collected data, the system kept learning, and the cost per lead dropped week by week.
Once we had enough data, we set a target CPA and maintained it steadily.
5) Continuous OptimizationWe kept improving performance week after week: pruning irrelevant search terms (adding negatives), expanding with high-performing keywords, rewriting underperforming headlines, and shifting budget toward ad groups with the lowest CPL.
The landing aligned with intent: if someone searched “kitchen,” they landed on the kitchen remodeling page with a clear, relevant value proposition.
Results: a Los Angeles–targeted Search campaign with strong offers and
Maximize Conversions bidding delivered a steady flow of leads while the cost per lead kept trending down. Full breakdown with details and numbers below.
