New Leads This Week

Why ads, why now

SEO and AI visibility are how you win the long game — but they take months to compound. Paid ads are how you fill your pipeline this week. The smartest service businesses run both: ads for immediate leads, organic for the asset that keeps paying after the ads stop.

What We Run

The right platform for how your customers actually search.

We don't run every platform for every client. We run the ones that bring you qualified leads at the lowest cost — and tell you honestly which those are.

How We Price It

Simple, flat, and transparent — no percentage games.

Most agencies charge a percentage of your ad spend, so they earn more every time you spend more — whether or not it's working. We don't.

The Long Game

Ads rent leads. SEO builds the asset you own.

"Paid ads bring the phone calls today. Search visibility makes it ring for free, forever. We run both — and taper your ad spend as your organic Score climbs."

That's the opposite of how most ad agencies work: your falling ad dependence is something we report as a win, not a lost upsell.

Convert Clicks

Website Design

Ads bring the click; your site has to close it. We build landing pages engineered to turn ad traffic into calls.

Straight Answers

Frequently asked questions

Question first, direct answer, no filler.

How much do I need to spend on ads?

For most local service businesses, we recommend a media budget of at least $1,500–$2,000/month so campaigns have enough data to optimize and produce real leads. That budget is paid directly to Google or Meta, never to us. We'll recommend the right starting number for your market during your audit.

Do you mark up my ad spend?

No. Your ad budget is billed directly to your own card by Google or Meta — we never touch it or mark it up. You pay us a flat, transparent management fee for building and running the campaigns, and you keep full ownership of your ad accounts.

What's the difference between paid ads and SEO?

Paid ads generate leads immediately — you show up at the top the day campaigns go live, for as long as you fund them. SEO and AI visibility build an asset you own that keeps generating leads for free over time. Ads rent attention; SEO builds equity. The strongest approach runs both, then tapers ads as your organic visibility grows.

Which advertising platform is best for my business?

For most clinics and home-service businesses, Google Local Services Ads are the fastest, most cost-effective start — you pay per lead and earn a Google-Screened badge. Search Ads capture high-intent buyers, and Meta Ads build demand. We recommend the right mix in your audit.

How quickly will I see leads?

Paid ads can start generating calls and form fills within the first week of going live — which is why they're the fastest way to fill your pipeline while longer-term SEO and AI visibility build. The first few weeks are a learning period where we optimize toward your best-performing keywords and audiences.

The Kitty Hawk Guarantee

Your audit sets the baseline. If we haven't measurably beaten it by month six, we keep working at no charge — up to 90 additional days — until we have. We can promise this because we measure everything and don't take on businesses we can't move.
