Google Ads for small businesses: start with measurement

Before buying traffic, decide which action matters to the business.

Portfolio visual example; not research data.

What the documentation says

Google Ads supports measuring actions such as purchases, sign-ups and calls. Conversion configuration should match the goal. [1]

How I would apply it

My recommendation: start with one service, a clear landing page and a defined test budget. A WhatsApp button click is not a sent message; assess lead quality and customers separately.

Before you start

Your working checklist — selections stay on this page only.

Sources & documentation

Primary documents support the marked paragraphs. Recommendations are professional interpretation, not academic research or a promise of results.
