Your Shop Deserves
More Calls

You do great work. Your customers come back. But when someone new searches for powder coating near you... they call the other guy.

No Calls

Your phone rings when a buddy refers you. The rest of the week depends on luck.

No Time

You're in the booth, on the phone, and doing quotes at night. Learning Google Ads is not happening.

10:47 PM

Invisible On Google

The shops above you aren't better than you. They have more reviews and they paid to be there.

How we fix that with one system

Google is where people go when they already want to buy. The system puts your shop in front of them, gives them a reason to pick you, and turns the click into a call. Then it compounds, because every job becomes a review that makes the next lead cheaper.

Show up first

Search ads on buying-intent searches only: "powder coating near me," "wheel powder coating [city]." DIY traffic, job seekers, and suppliers are filtered out every week.

Prove it with reviews

Every finished job triggers a review request by text. Past customers get asked once, too. More reviews lift your ranking and your click-through, so the ads get cheaper over time.

Turn clicks into calls

Ads land on a page built for your shop, not your homepage. Missed calls get a text back in seconds, so the lead doesn't call the next shop.

Know what every job cost

Calls, form fills, and new reviews are tracked and reported monthly, with a 20-minute call to walk the numbers. Nothing for you to manage.

Pristine Paws

Our founder built Pristine Paws from zero on the exact system Ambush installs for clients: Google ads on buying-intent searches, a landing page built to convert, text-back on every missed call, and a review request after every job. Every customer is tracked back to the click, and churn is under 10% a year.

Book a call and get started

A 20-minute call to look at your market together. If it's a fit, we start the same day. You give us access to Google Ads and your Google Business Profile, plus a list of past customers.

48 hours

The system goes live

Ads, landing page, call tracking, text-back, and review automation are running, and your Google profile is set up right. The clock starts the moment we have access.

Day 3

Reviews start rolling in

Past customers get one text asking for a review. Most shops see their first new reviews before their first new call.

Day 30

First report, first optimizations

You see exactly what each call cost and how many reviews came in. We cut what didn't work and double down on what did.

Day 90

Own Google in your city

Cost per lead is stable, your review count has pulled away from the shops around you, and you're showing up first. From here it's maintenance and scale.

How it works

Set it up once. Then run your shop.

1. Connect

You grant access to Google Ads and your Google Business Profile, add a card for ad spend, and send us your past customer list. Takes 10 minutes with our walkthrough video.

2. Launch

Within 48 hours the whole system is live: ads, landing page, tracking, text-back, and review requests. You get a text the moment the first call comes in.

3. Compound

We manage bids, keywords, and negatives every week while reviews stack up on their own. You get a monthly report and a short call to walk the numbers.

Shops we've worked with

One-booth shops and multi-bay operations. The system is the same, only the ad budget changes.

Everything inside the system

No menus, no add-ons, no choosing. Every client gets all of it.

Ads written for your shop and your city

Headlines pull in the searcher's city and exact service automatically, so your ad reads like it was written for them.

Landing page and tracking included

Ads send people to a page built to get a call or a quote request, not your homepage. Calls and forms are tracked from the click to the job.

Dominate, don't dabble

The target is the top spot on 80%+ of the searches that bring jobs. You see the number every month.

Reviews on autopilot

A review request goes out by text after every job, with a follow-up if they forget. Past customers get asked once at launch.

Missed-call text-back

If you can't pick up in the booth, the lead gets a text in seconds so they don't call the next shop.

Google profile set up right

Categories, services, photos, and description fixed at launch so the map pack and your ads work together instead of against each other.

Built for coating shops.
Works for any service business.

Frequently asked questions

Who is Ambush for?

Owner-operated shops that want steady inbound calls without learning Google. We started with powder coating because the searches are clear and the jobs are worth the click. If you have capacity for more work and can put at least $1,000/month into ad spend, it's a fit.

How is this different from hiring a marketing agency?

Most agencies sell a menu and bill for meetings. We install one system, the same one for every client, at a flat fee. Our founder runs it on his own company, so you're getting what we use, not what we sell.

What exactly is in the system?

Google Search ads on buying-intent keywords, Local Services Ads where available, a landing page built for your shop, call tracking, missed-call text-back, review automation after every job, a one-time reactivation of past customers for reviews, your Google Business Profile set up correctly, and a monthly report. Every tier gets all of it.

Is there a contract?

No. Cancel anytime. We ask for 90 days because that's how long it takes to dial in an account, but nothing locks you in.

Who pays for the ads?

You do, directly to Google, from your own card. We never touch ad spend and never mark it up. Our fee is separate and flat.

How fast will I see results?

The system goes live within 48 hours of access. New reviews usually show up within days, because past customers get asked at launch. First calls typically come in the first week. Cost per lead settles between day 30 and day 60 as we cut wasted clicks.

What if I get too busy?

Text us and we pause your ad spend. Reviews keep collecting, and your account, tracking, and landing page stay ready. Your monthly fee keeps the system maintained so you can turn ads back on in a day.

Do I own the ad account and the reviews?

Yes. The Google Ads account and your Google Business Profile are yours. If you ever leave, you keep the account, the history, and every review.

Do I need a new website?

No. Ad traffic goes to a landing page we build specifically for your shop because it converts better than a homepage. Your website stays exactly as it is, and we don't build or manage websites.

Do you run Facebook or Instagram ads?

No. The system is built on Google because that's where people search when they're ready to hire a shop. We'd rather own one channel for you than dabble in three.

Do you offer a guarantee?

Yes. The Earn-Our-Fee Guarantee: if our system doesn't bring in more revenue than it costs you in your first 90 days, we work free until it does. "Costs you" means our fee, not ad spend, which goes straight to Google. Revenue is the tracked jobs the system brings in, added up over the 90 days, so five small jobs count the same as one big one. Three conditions keep it fair: your ad budget stays at or above your tier minimum for the 90 days, leads run through our tracked number and page so they can be counted, and your shop answers or returns tracked calls within one business day.

What do I need to get started?

Access to Google Ads (we can create the account) and your Google Business Profile, a card for ad spend, your logo, 10–20 photos of your work, and a list of past customers with phone numbers. A 10-minute walkthrough video covers the rest.

Ready to show up first?

Book a 20-minute call. We'll pull your market's search numbers and your review count against the shops around you before we talk. And if our system doesn't out-earn its fee in 90 days, we work free until it does.
