My adverts are performing very poorly
Post Body

I have been running Google Ads for 2 weeks now. My budget has ranged from £20 per day to £50 per day.

My audience is vehicle recovery. I use the 'Get more calls' option for my adverts, though I usually find that customers will call me from my website.

My issue is that I am spending a minimum of £20 per day and I am finding myself with 2 calls each day. I have had

  • Calls from 20 miles outside my area that I am unable to attend to
  • Calls from automated phone numbers that are not a real customer
  • Calls from individuals only looking to compare prices

My industry prices are often compared, so I find that my customers have a high bounce rate and will compare prices with different businesses. Is google downrating my adverts because customers are calling me, then clicking on another advert?

My adverts show between 6.00 pm and 22.00pm

I'm spending £10 per call and I can only attend to 1/3 of the calls I receive. I simply cannot pay £30 for a customer
