Each year the Google Ad formats change, taking up more slots and more visible area in SERP (Search Engine Results Page) real estate.
Today, if you were to search for a local business or a service, you’ll most likely need to scroll past the ads to the bottom 2/3 of the visible screen space. On mobile, it’s almost two whole screen swipes down!
Here is an illustration of the first Organic Listing (assuming you have the best SEO in your area for that search term)

This ROI is even higher for industries where the product or service costs thousands or millions of dollars.
For an example, a Home Builder can spend $25,000 on a marketing campaign and attract 60 potential buyers. Out of the 60 interested buyers, maybe 10% will wind up going through. If a home builder is selling homes that are starting at $500,000 and 6 people choose the lowest custom-build package, then you’re looking at $3,000,000 in new revenue.
That’s an 11,900% Return on Investment (before labor & materials)
Point is, Google Ads is one of the most profitable and measurable ways to market your business. Every business owner should at least give it a shot.
