Industry marketing, answered.
What business owners ask us about how we work in their industry.
Which industries does Media Spearhead work with?
We run Google Ads, SEO and websites for 85 industries in eight categories: home trades, property and outdoor services, cleaning and restoration, law firms, health and beauty, auto and transport, hospitality and tourism, and professional services and retail. Most of our clients are local service businesses. If yours isn't listed, we very likely still work with businesses like it; ask us on a free strategy call.
Why does my industry matter for Google Ads and SEO?
Because almost every decision depends on it: what a click costs, when your customers search, what makes them call, which searches waste money, and which advertising rules apply. A plumber needs 24/7 emergency campaigns; a law firm needs intake tracking and bar-compliant copy; a med spa needs a campaign per treatment. A generic playbook gets those wrong.
How much does a Google Ads click cost in my industry?
It ranges from under a dollar in ecommerce to around $480 for personal injury law, based on our 2026 cost-per-click report. Most local service trades fall between $5 and $80 a click. Your city, your competition and your keywords move the number, so we price your market on the strategy call.
What is included in an industry playbook?
Your keyword map and negative keyword lists, a campaign structure that follows how your revenue splits, bid and budget rules for your season and hours, service and city pages, schema for your business type, answers for AI assistants, and tracking set up around the lead that actually pays you: a booked job, a signed case, a new patient or a reservation.
Do you only work with businesses in Jacksonville?
No. We're based in Jacksonville, Florida, and work with businesses nationwide. For local service businesses we build the campaigns and pages around the exact cities and neighborhoods you serve.
How fast can we get started?
Google Ads campaigns launch in three business days from kickoff, with bid reviews at 24, 48 and 72 hours. SEO and AEO work starts in the first month, and most new websites launch three to four weeks after kickoff.
Your industry has a playbook. Let’s run it in your market.
