Cloud 9 / Lead Ads
LEAD ADS — at cost, answered in seconds
The click costs money. The silence after it costs the job.
Two things kill small-business ads: budgets quietly skimmed by the agency, and leads that ring a phone nobody answers. Here your budget goes to Google and Meta at cost — zero markup, in writing — and every lead the ads buy is answered in seconds and pushed to booked. That second half is why these ads pay when most don’t.
BUDGET AT COST, ZERO MARKUP · A FAST PAGE PER CAMPAIGN · JUDGED ON BOOKED JOBS
ONE DOLLAR — from budget to booked
Follow the dollar. It should end at a customer.
Most owners who say “ads don’t work” watched money vanish into clicks nobody followed up. The fix isn’t cleverer ads — it’s an intact dollar and a front desk waiting at the other end of the click. Here’s the whole trip:
THE TERMS — ask any agency to match them
Ads with nothing hiding in the invoice.
The platforms bill your budget at exactly their price. Management is in the flat plan — no percentage, no skim, no cut.
A recommended starting number for your market, scaled only when booked jobs earn it — and you can stop any time.
Every lead is answered in seconds by the same front desk that runs your phones. Speed is where ad money is won or lost.
Reporting counts leads and booked work, not impressions — and the budget follows the campaigns that actually book.
8:53 PM — the click just got answered
An ad that rings an unanswered phone is a donation. Yours ring a desk that picks up.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS
Asked by owners who’ve been burned by an ad budget before.
01Do you mark up my ad spend?
Never — and it’s worth asking every agency this out loud. Your budget goes to Google and Meta at exactly what they charge; the management is part of your flat plan. A skimmed budget means part of every dollar never reached a customer, and you’d never see which part.
02How much do I have to spend on ads?
Your call, always. You get a recommended starting budget for your market and goals — you can start small — and it scales only when the numbers earn it. The budget is your money going to the platforms at cost; you set the ceiling and you can stop any time.
03What happens when a lead comes in?
The part most ad campaigns get wrong: the lead is answered in seconds by your front desk — questions handled, job qualified, appointment booked, in English or Spanish. An ad that rings an unanswered phone is just a donation to the platform.
04How do I know if the ads are working?
You’re shown leads and booked jobs, not clicks and impressions. Budget moves toward the campaigns producing actual work and away from the ones that only produce activity — so what you see is what your spend is buying.
05Do I need a landing page for the ads?
You need one and it’s included — a fast, dedicated page built for each campaign, saying exactly what the ad promised. Paid clicks sent to a slow homepage die on arrival; message-matched pages are half the return.
06What do the ads cost to run?
The management is inside the flat $1,497/mo Cloud 9 Team — along with the front desk that makes the ads pay. The only other money is your ad budget itself, billed by the platforms at cost. Month-to-month, first month today, no setup fee, cancel anytime.
8:57 PM — booked while the competitor’s form sleeps
Your market is clicking tonight either way. The only question is whose desk answers.
