CPA deterioration note

Recent CPA deterioration warrants investigation. The recent period is included within the full 90 days; attribution lag, imports, campaign changes and lead handling may affect results. Reported conversion values do not establish invoiced revenue or financial ROAS.

Limitation & Scope: PDF pp. 17, 19.

4. Campaign Performance

Selected campaigns (shortened labels from the report), not the complete account. The first three represent 68.8% of spend.

Campaign	Spend	Clicks	Reported conversions	CPA
Plumbing / Local Search	$30,210	580	192.4	$157
HVAC / Local Search	$20,180	388	148.6	$136
Brand - HVAC	$9,420	712	354.2	$27
Plumbing / Riverton	$6,840	118	42.0	$163
HVAC / Riverton	$5,360	94	28.2	$190
Plumbing / Lakeside	$1,520	28	9.2	$165

Campaign-name groups

Group	Spend	Reported conversions	CPA
Brand	$9,420	354.2	$27
HVAC non-brand	$31,720	204.4	$155
Plumbing-named	$47,280	287.0	$165

Recent diagnostics

HVAC Salem approximately $604 CPA from three conversions; HVAC CitySearch approximately $210 CPA.

Action

Prioritize CitySearch/Salem investigation and verify booked-job quality. Low brand CPA does not establish incrementality; small campaigns cannot reliably be judged from a handful of clicks.

Limitation & Scope: PDF pp. 18–19.

5 & 6. Conversion Actions and Search Terms

Primary and secondary conversion actions, and sampled search-term evidence with review status.

Conversion actions

Action	Role	Counting / definition
AC Calls v2	Primary	One per click; uploaded click/contact
AC Qualified Calls	Primary	One per click; uploaded qualified lead
AC Qualified Ext Calls	Primary	Uploaded qualified calls
AC Qualified Forms	Primary	One per click; uploaded qualified lead
Call Extension Calls	Primary	One per click; 30-second duration
Call Tracking Lead	Primary	Many per click; default value 1
Calls from ads	Primary	Many per click; 60-second duration
Booked — Atlas actions	Secondary	Asset, form, onsite and call booking actions

Overlap note

Potential overlap is not proven duplication. One-per-click counting applies per action and does not deduplicate separate actions. Reconcile 30–50 inquiries with CRM IDs before changing goal roles; validate booked-action imports before making them primary.

Search-term evidence

Term / context	Spend	Clicks	Reported conversions
apex hvac — Brand	$5,240	410	220.4
plumber riverton oregon — sampled Local Search row	$548	10	0
hvac near me — sampled row	$318	5	0
Sump-pump theme — four rows	$352	7	0
air duct cleaning — Brand; already excluded	$32	2	0
vent cleaners near me — Brand; NONE status	$30	2	0

Actions

Confirm well-pump service capability before exclusions; inspect non-brand routing in Brand; review relevant zero-conversion terms rather than automatically excluding them.

Limitation & Scope: 500 highest-spend rows, truncated, representing approximately $53,793 spend. This is not complete query coverage or a waste total. Deleted invented DIY terms and guaranteed negative-keyword savings. PDF pp. 20–21.

7. Landing Pages and Message Match

Destination, campaign and service evidence. Landing-view totals have different scope from campaign totals.

Destination / campaign	Spend	Clicks	Reported conversions	CPA
offers.apexhvacexample.com/ — Brand	$6,240	472	132.0	$47
service.apexhvacexample.com/riverton/ — Plumbing Local Search	$5,180	96	30.0	$173
offers.apexhvacexample.com/riverton/hvac-repair/ — HVAC Local Search	$2,580	48	15.8	$163
Same HVAC repair route — HVAC Riverton	$2,100	36	6.2	$339
offers.apexhvacexample.com/riverton/air-conditioning-repair/ — HVAC Riverton	$1,540	26	11.2	$137

Action

Test high-spend destination forms, phone routes and service-specific messaging. Maintenance and general-company intent also use the broad repair route.

Limitation & Scope: Landing-view totals have different scope from campaign totals; do not force reconciliation. Empty asset retrieval does not prove missing assets. PDF p. 22.

8 & 9. Budgets, Bidding and Device/Weekday Patterns

Current settings, lost impression share, and device/weekday performance. Chart shares calculated from spend.

Scheduling note

No weekend performance rows were returned; configured schedules and hourly outcomes were not verified. Validate dispatch availability and booked outcomes before scheduling or device-bid changes.

Limitation & Scope: Deleted claims that ads run 24/7 or that after-hours calls perform poorly. PDF pp. 23–24.
