What Yelp Ads is and who it fits
Yelp Ads is a pay-per-click local ads: cost-per-click ads on yelp's own local search and business pages. You (or an agency you hire) manage the campaign; Yelp does not build a website or handle follow-up. A business that already gets found on Yelp and wants more visibility there specifically, and it's the wrong tool for a contractor's only or first marketing spend.

| Upgrade Package (optional) | about $180/mo | |
| Run (Tanner Preserve Web Co.) | $97/mo | 14-day free trial, cancel anytime, domain and Google profile stay in your name. |

What Yelp Ads includes
- Priority placement in Yelp search and on competitor pages
- Click tracking in the Yelp for Business dashboard
What it's missing
- No website, no lead follow-up, no CRM
- Cost per click floats with demand in your category and market
- Typical contractor budgets reported at $500 to $5,000/mo to see meaningful volume
Where Yelp Ads is the better fit
- Your customers already search Yelp specifically for your trade in your market
- You want to test paid visibility without committing to a long-term platform
Not for a contractor's only or first marketing spend. That part is what I sell instead.
