Paid Ads Management: Campaigns That Lead to Measurable Inquiries

Rithm's paid ads service plans and manages campaigns on platforms such as Google Search and Meta so that each ad leads to a page with a clear offer and an inquiry path you can measure. We set budgets with you, write ads that follow platform policies, track inquiries rather than just clicks, and report what happened plainly. Ad spend is always separate from management fees.

Why ads often waste money

The most common problem is not the ad. It is the destination. Ads that send people to a generic home page, a slow site or a form that asks too much tend to produce clicks without inquiries. Rithm's paid ads service plans the landing page and follow-up alongside the campaign.

How a campaign is set up

Every platform enforces its own advertising rules. Google's Ads policies overview explains prohibited content, restricted categories and editorial standards, and Meta applies separate rules for housing, employment and credit ads.

What good reporting includes

• Spend, clicks and inquiries for the period.
• Which ads and searches produced real conversations.
• What was changed and why.
• Uncertainty, especially when numbers are small.
• A recommendation for the next period.

Hypothetical example: a roofing contractor

A fictional roofer runs a broad campaign that brings calls about gutter cleaning, which they do not offer. The revised plan narrows keywords to roof repair and inspection, adds negative keywords for unrelated services, and sends traffic to a page about roof inspections in their service area. The form asks for town, issue and preferred callback time. Reports now count completed inquiries that the office confirms, not just clicks.

Before launching ads

• A landing page that matches the offer.
• A working inquiry form or call tracking.
• Someone ready to respond quickly to new leads.
• An agreed monthly budget and review date.
• Clarity on who owns the ad account.

When to pause or change course

Agree on stop rules before launch. For example, pause a campaign if it spends an agreed amount without a single qualified inquiry, or if lead quality is consistently poor according to the people answering calls. Change one major element at a time, such as the offer, the audience or the landing page, so you can tell what made a difference. Seasonal businesses should also plan quieter periods in advance instead of reacting after money is spent. Good management sometimes means recommending lower spend, and we will say so when the numbers support it.

Frequently asked questions

How much should I spend on ads?

That depends on your market, service value and goals. Start with a budget you can afford to test, and review it with real inquiry data.

Is ad management included in the Growth Marketing plan?

The Growth Marketing plan includes one Meta or Google Search campaign. Ad spend is paid separately to the platform.

Who owns the ad account?

We recommend the business owns its ad accounts and grants Rithm access, so history stays with you.
