We Don't Sell Clicks. We Deliver Verified Leads & Booked Jobs in Pittsburgh.
Google Ads and paid search run by a local team that counts booked jobs, not clicks
PPC management means running paid ads so every dollar turns into a call, form or sale you can trace. Most accounts we audit have a tracking problem, not a traffic problem: clicks come in, the phone stays quiet, and nobody knows which keyword paid for which job.
RankSolv runs Pittsburgh PPC advertising for service companies and B2B firms that want leads they can count, starting with a free audit that shows where your budget leaks.
Real Numbers. Zero Fluff.
We measure our success by the money in your pipeline, not vanity metrics. Here is what consistent optimization and strict conversion tracking deliver for our clients.

Why Local PPC Should Target ZIP Codes, Not a Simple Radius
A 15-mile radius looks fine on a map but ignores how crews move here. Rivers, bridges and tunnels mean a South Hills team reaches Bethel Park fast yet may need an hour to reach the North Hills at rush hour.
So we target the ZIP codes your team serves and bid by area profitability. A plumber stops paying for clicks from neighborhoods it would never send a truck to. Many clients pair this with Local SEO.
Do Google Ads Appear in AI Overviews?
Yes. Since May 2025, Search and Shopping ads can appear inside AI Overviews, and Google has tested ads in AI Mode.
Performance Max, Shopping and AI Max or broad match Search campaigns qualify. We build accounts to qualify with spend controls intact.
How a South Hills HVAC Company Cut Cost Per Lead by 59%
An HVAC contractor was paying $148 per lead. Eleven weeks later, it was $61, well below the benchmark average in Google Ads benchmarks.
| Metric | Before | After 11 Weeks |
|---|---|---|
| Cost Per Lead | $148 | $61 (-59%) |
| Leads Per Month | Optimized | Scaled & Booked |
What We Changed:
We split campaigns by service line, added strict negative keywords, rebuilt targeting around the crews’ ZIP codes and moved to target CPA once CRM conversions flowed.
"The budget barely changed. Where it went did."

Jake Sullivan
SEO & Content Strategy
Honestly wasn't expecting much when we started but the team completely changed how I think about SEO. Our blog went from basically invisible to actually pulling in customers every week… — and they explain everything in plain English instead of throwing jargon at you.
Marcus Vance
Commercial PPC
RankSolv completely restructured our Google Ads account. In our industry, ad clicks are expensive, but they eliminated junk keywords and brought our CPL down significantly… within 60 days. We landed two massive commercial contracts.
Danielle Ford
Local SEO & Maps
We're a small clinic in the South Hills and didn't think local SEO would make much difference. Three months in, we're booked out most weeks… just from showing up in the map pack now. Highly recommend!
Sarah Jenkins
PPC Management
Most agencies gave us generic reports with vanity metrics like clicks. Colin and his team focus strictly on cost-per-lead and actual booked jobs… Their ZIP-code radius targeting strategy saved us thousands.
Mike Kowalski
Digital Marketing
What I liked most is that nothing felt outsourced. Same team handling our SEO and setting up analytics so we could actually see what was working… Feels like having a marketing department on our own payroll.
Nicole Baxter
Web Redesign
Our old site was built in 2015. RankSolv redesigned the whole thing and it actually loads fast on mobile now… Checkout is smoother too, fewer people abandoning carts.

Pittsburgh PPC Advertising FAQs
How much does PPC management cost?
Management is [fee] a month plus your ad spend, with a recommended minimum of [$X]. Your free audit includes a budget plan.
How long before Google Ads brings in leads?
Calls often start in week one. Cost per lead usually drops through months two and three as bidding tightens.
What makes RankSolv different from other PPC agencies?
We report on leads, not clicks, target real service areas by ZIP code and feed CRM data into bidding, all on month-to-month terms.
Do you work with brand-new ad accounts?
Yes. New accounts get clean structure, verified tracking and a starter budget plan from day one.
Do you work with businesses outside the city?
Yes. We manage accounts across Western Pennsylvania and in other states, with targeting set by the areas you serve.
Who owns my Google Ads account if I leave?
You do. The account sits under your business name with us as managers, so campaigns, conversion history and data stay with you.
Can you take over an account another agency set up?
Yes. We audit it, keep what works and fix the usual issues: broad match without negatives, duplicate conversion actions and thin budgets.
Does Performance Max work for local service businesses?
Rarely on its own. It spends across YouTube, Display and Maps, so weak conversion data pulls in cheap, low-quality leads. We pair it with Search.
