Case study · Personal injury
Signed cases per month (4 to 14): 3.5× for Harbor Injury Law
Case-type campaigns, 24-hour intake with recorded calls, Local Services Ads beside search, and signed cases imported back into Google.
Case study · Dental
Revenue per $1 of ad spend (from $2.10): $6.40 for Bright Smile Dental
Treatment-specific landing pages (implants, Invisalign, emergency), online booking tracked as a conversion, and Local Services Ads added once reviews passed 100.
Most display budgets are wasted on prospecting to people who will never need a roof or an injury lawyer this year. We run display the other way round: audiences built from your own visitors and callers, split by the service page they read, with one message per service and a cap of three impressions a day. Viewability and placement exclusions are reviewed weekly, converted customers are excluded, and the channel is judged on assisted bookings and branded search lift.
Four phases, from audit to scale
Every engagement follows the same sequence, because it is the sequence that turns ad spend into booked jobs, month after month.
We go through every
01: Deep audit
We go through every dollar you have spent so far
Every search term, bid change, landing page and call recording from the last twelve months goes through the audit. We find the money that is leaking, the conversions Google was never told about, and the two or three changes that would move the cost per booked job the most.
02: Blueprint
A written plan that maps budget to the jobs that pay
Campaign structure by service value and urgency, the negative lists, the offers, the landing pages and the tracking plan, in a document you keep whether or not you hire us. You see it before week two.
03: The build
Built in your own account, owned by you
Tight campaigns, ads written for the person about to call, pages built for calls and quote requests, bidding set to lead value rather than cost per lead. Everything named so the next person can read it.
04: Run, learn, scale
AI mines the account every night. Hamid makes the decisions that matter.
Search terms, negatives and budget pacing are checked nightly by our tooling. Weekly reviews look at booked jobs, not clicks. Budget scales only when the cost per booked job holds, and the monthly review talks about revenue.
We are usually the last agency our clients hire.
We will tell you when the ad budget is the wrong lever.
If the phone is answered at 4pm on the third ring, or the landing page has no price and no reviews, more budget makes the problem more expensive. We say so on the first call, and we fix the leak before we scale the spend.
Honest reporting, even when the number is bad.
You get the account in your own name, every search term, every call recording and a monthly report that starts with cost per booked job. If a month misses, the report says why and what changes next.
AI does the repetitive work. Hamid makes the decisions that matter.
Search term mining, negative lists, pacing and anomaly checks run every night through our tooling. The judgment calls, which offer to lead with, when to cut a campaign, when to add a layer, are made by someone who has run accounts every week since 2014.
Our fee drops to zero if we miss the target.
Three-month minimum, an agreed cost per booked job, and if we have not hit it by the end of month three, the management fee is $0 until we do. It keeps our incentives where yours are.
How we run display for a lead-gen business.
A small, disciplined budget that lifts the conversion rate of every other channel.
Remarketing by service
Audiences at 7, 30 and 90 days per service page, each with its own message and offer.
Frequency caps
Three impressions a day, sequential messages across the window, converted customers excluded.
Placement hygiene
Apps, games and low-viewability inventory excluded from day one, reviewed weekly.
Local awareness
Geofenced banners for a practice or a crew in a defined area, run only during peak seasons.
Programmatic reach
For multi-location businesses, DV360 or a DSP for reach beyond the Google Display Network, with the same rules.
Measurement
Assisted bookings and branded search lift, with a holdout test before any budget increase.
Real people run your account. AI does the night shift.

8 client stories
“Three agencies before DGENCY. Every one of them sent me a report with a bunch of graphs. Hamid sent me a spreadsheet of booked jobs and what each one cost. That was the whole difference.”
Rick MorenoOwner, Canyon Air Conditioning
“They told me in the first call that my landing page was the problem, not the ads. I did not want to hear it. They were right, and signed cases went from four a month to fourteen.”
Danielle HarperManaging Partner, Harbor Injury Law
“We are a small practice. I was worried we would be too small for a real agency. Hamid looks at our account personally and my front desk knows exactly which new patients came from ads.”
Dr. Sana PatelOwner, Bright Smile Dental
“Our old agency reported clicks. DGENCY reports booked jobs, and the number went from 61 to 140 a month on the same budget once the tracking was honest.”
Marcus EllisonOwner, Summit Air & Heat
“Hamid called our office as a customer before we signed and told us we missed a 4pm call. That is the level of detail. Cost per booked job is down 38 percent.”
Lena OrtizGeneral Manager, TrueLine Plumbing
“Three quotes a week became eleven. The difference was the search terms they cut and the financing line they put in the ad. Nothing fancy, just correct.”
Grant WhitakerOwner, Bluegrass Roofing
“We are a two-attorney firm. They gave us a plan for $5,000 a month and did not try to sell us $20,000. Consults are up 70 percent and the fee is flat.”
Meera NairPartner, Keystone Estate Law
“Quarterly plans at $41 each from Local Services Ads and search together. Our previous agency never turned LSAs on. They did it in week two.”
Tom ReyesOwner, Evergreen Pest Co
FAQ
Common questions
More on the FAQ page, or send your numbers with the growth plan request for a written answer.
Is display worth it for a local business?
As remarketing, yes: it is the cheapest lead in most accounts. As prospecting, rarely, until search and LSAs are saturated.
How much budget goes to display?
Three to six percent of the monthly budget for most accounts. It scales only when assisted bookings justify it.
Will my customers find the ads annoying?
Not at three impressions a day with a message that matches the page they read. Annoying display is uncapped display.
Do you make the banners?
Yes, in every standard size, one message per service, refreshed when the offer changes.
How do you measure display?
Assisted bookings through data-driven attribution, branded search lift, and a geo holdout before any budget increase.
Can display run without a Google Ads account?
It can, but it should not. Display remarketing is fed by the search account's visitors and callers.
