The snap

Position one. Instantly.

  1. Search

    A parent types the exact thing you teach, with the exact place you teach it. This is not interruption. They asked.

  2. Auction

    Every search runs an auction. Google weighs your bid against how relevant your ad and landing page are, so granular ad groups beat bigger budgets.

  3. Snap

    Your ad lands in position one the day the campaign goes live. No waiting months to climb, the way SEO does.

  4. Call

    One tap on the call button rings your front desk. Call tracking tells you which keyword made the phone ring.

Profit over clicks

Measured to the booking.

Conversion tracking runs from ad click to form to phone call, so every dollar is tied to a trial booking, and you see it in a live dashboard.

Local Services ads

Pay per lead, not per click.

Local Services ads sit above the standard search results with your name, reviews and a call button. You only pay when someone actually contacts you.

  • We handle the setup and verification with Google.
  • Reviews do the selling, so we help you earn more of them.
  • Ongoing optimization for a steady stream of local calls.
What we run

Every way to show up on Google.

Six pieces, built inside your own Google Ads account. You keep the account, the data and the history, whatever happens.

  1. Search ads

    Your school at the top of Google for keywords like "kids karate classes near me" and "BJJ gym in [your city]". People actively searching for what you offer, with intent to buy.
  2. Local Services

    Your name, reviews and a call button above the standard results. You pay only when someone contacts you. We handle setup, verification and optimization.
  3. Keyword research

    The exact high-intent terms parents and adults use in your area, the gaps your competitors missed, and local search volume, so budget never burns on the wrong words.
  4. Remarketing

    Most visitors don't book on their first visit. Display and remarketing ads follow up across millions of websites and bring them back when they are ready to commit.
  5. Landing pages

    Sending ad traffic to a homepage wastes budget. Focused landing pages strip away the menu and funnel every visitor toward booking a trial class.
  6. Tracking

    Conversion tracking across the whole funnel, from ad click to form submission to phone call, so we can cut wasted spend and scale what actually enrolls students.

Meta interrupts. Google answers.

Meta ads reach your ideal student while they scroll. Google Ads catches the ones already searching. We run both.

SEO compounds over months. Google Ads puts you at the top from day one, and pays for the wait.

The process

Built like a launch.

Five stages, and you own every piece of the account they run in.

  1. 01 · Research

    Strategy & market research

    We start from revenue goals, not traffic targets. We find high-volume, low-competition keywords your competitors missed, study the terms parents and adults actually search in your area, and map a strategy that captures the highest-intent traffic at the lowest cost per lead.

  2. 02 · Build

    Campaign structure & ad creation

    Granular ad groups keep every search matched to an ad written for it. Every headline, description and call to action is written to earn the click from qualified prospects, with dedicated landing pages that match each ad group.

  3. 03 · Launch

    Technical setup & fraud protection

    A clean launch inside your own Google Ads account: conversion tracking, call tracking, Google Analytics goals, and click fraud protection so competitors and bots don't waste your budget.

  4. 04 · Daily

    Active monitoring & optimization

    We scrub search term reports and add negative keywords so you never pay for irrelevant traffic, A/B test headlines and copy, and adjust bids by demographic, time and location.

  5. 05 · Monthly

    Reporting & strategic scaling

    Total financial transparency: you pay Google directly with your own card and get detailed reporting on leads, conversions and spend. We move budget to the top campaigns every month, with optional review calls with your account manager.

FAQ

Budgets, speed, landing pages and what happens when a campaign dips. Anything else, bring it to the call.

The minimum ad spend is $450 per month, and your first month of management is completely free. You only pay Google directly for your ad spend, with no management fees during the first month. We set a budget from your local competition, cost per click and enrollment goals, recommend a starting point on the discovery call, and scale from there as we prove ROI.

You can start seeing booked appointments within 3 to 7 days of launching your campaign. Google Ads delivers immediate visibility for high-intent searches, because we target people actively searching for martial arts classes right now. The longer campaigns run, the more data we collect to lower your cost per lead.

Mainly Google Search ads on high-intent keywords like "martial arts classes near me", "kids karate classes" and "BJJ gym in [your city]". We also manage Local Services ads for verified leads, YouTube ads for video prospecting, and display and remarketing campaigns for visitors who didn't convert on their first visit. The mix depends on your goals and budget.

SEO builds long-term organic visibility over months, while Google Ads delivers immediate visibility at the top of the results through paid placements. SEO is a compounding investment. Google Ads is a direct-response tool that generates leads from day one. We recommend running both together.

We tell you exactly what is happening and what we're doing about it. The goal is profitable growth, not empty promises.
