I paid for clicks, but the phone didn’t ring.
We aim your ads at people ready to book, and track every call so we can see what actually brings work.
I can’t tell if my ads are working.
You get one short update a week: what you spent, how many enquiries came in, and what each one cost.
I boosted a post and nothing happened.
Boosting chases likes. We build proper campaigns aimed at calls and quote requests.
My ads show up for people outside my area.
We set your ads to the suburbs you actually service, so your budget stays local.
Google Ads and Ads Manager are too confusing.
We set everything up and run it. You never need to log in to either one.
I don’t have time to look after them.
Tell us what you want more of. We handle the rest and only check in when we need a yes from you.
Three simple steps, and you only do the first one.

Hi, I’m Rhea.

Not sure which plan? Every one starts with a free ad review. We look at your current ads, or your top local competitors if you’re new, and send a short plain-English summary of what to fix first, with a quote. No obligation.
Book a free reviewIt depends on your trade and area. After the free review we suggest a starting daily budget, then adjust once we see your real cost per enquiry.
You do. Everything is set up under your business name.
Google Search ads can bring calls within days. Facebook and Instagram usually take a few weeks of testing.
It helps, but you can start without one. Calls and messages can come straight to you.
Rhea looks at your ads or your local competitors and sends back a short, plain summary of what to fix first, with a quote if you want help. There’s no obligation to go ahead.
Tell us a little about your business. We’ll look at what you’ve tried and show you what could be fixed.

Calls and form enquiries
Once your ads have run for a week, Rhea posts your numbers and a short update here each week.
Sample data for this preview. Real numbers appear once your ad accounts are connected.
Calls and form enquiries, last 8 weeks
From Rhea, Monday
18 enquiries this week, up from 15. Your emergency callout ad is doing most of the work.
I removed two search terms that were getting clicks but no calls (“plumbing course” and “plumber salary”).
Next: testing a “same-day service” headline. Nothing needed from you.
| Ad | Where | Status | Spend | Enquiries | Per enquiry |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Emergency callouts | Google Search | Running | $560 | 41 | $13.66 |
| Local homeowners | Facebook and Instagram | Running | $350 | 23 | $15.22 |
