    Your Google Ads Data Has an Expiration Date

    Your Google Ads Data Disappears in Two Weeks, Save It Now Google is folding Local Services Ads into the main Google Ads platform. Plumbing, HVAC, electrical, roofing, and pest control first. Pay-per-lead pricing stays, but your performance history doesn't carry over once your account converts, and you get about 14 days' notice. Export your data now. Also this week: TracPipe, Jones Stephens, Bard, M&M Manufacturing, and Snappy all raised prices within three weeks of each other, stacking on the ~20% cost jump from January's EPA refrigerant rule. If your markups haven't moved since spring, you're quoting below true cost. This week's move: export your LSA data, check the new Google Ads dashboard once converted, and compare your material invoices against a few months back.
