That's not Google contacting you. I have a Google Guarantee badge, my Google Business Profile is verified and quite healthy, yet I get several calls per week from different organizations telling me my Google business listing is not verified. It's like playing whack-a-mole. I block the number each time and they call me from a new number the next time.

Google Ads is the best thing that has happened to my business since I started it, alongside my truckmount. The Google Guarantee badge doesn't cost anything extra, its just some extra verification steps one goes through when they are already advertising on Google to get the badge. Google Ads aren't cheap, but they work really well. The guarantee badge looks legit to new customers. But a ton of good reviews looks even better. I've stayed booked 1 week out (or more) consistently for 3 to 4 months now since I began advertising on Google.

Thanks Kenny. Yikes. Somewhere somehow these creeps are paying for their software and these random numbers they continue assaulting us from. It makes me wonder, who the heck is actually purchasing whatever they are selling? To think some entrepreneurs are actually deciding to do business with a random web marketing outfit from some distant corner of the earth selling their services via automated recordings really befuddles me.

Keeps my business afloat. 1-2 jobs pays for it.

I haven't dove into Google ads yet but I'm thinking this year I will. Your comment right here might have made my mind up.
Do you mind sharing a little about how it works when you are running Google ads?

What is your approach when managing the ads and how did you start the ball rolling at the beginning?
-I have a Google Business Page and and a handful of good ratings/reviews. So, Ive gotten that far.

What would you say you end up spending per month? Is it always the same amount or does it change up at all each month?

If you dont mind sharing this kind of info. I really would appreciate it.
