Google Ads Agency vs AI Software

Weighing up a Google Ads agency vs AI software for your business? Here's the honest version, from someone who ran the agency. An agency looks at your account when someone gets to it. Local Service Ads AI is an AI agent that watches it every hour, runs it on full auto, and builds a landing page for every keyword. Undo on every change, and $1 to start.

Why owners pick software over an agency

  • Every hour, not once a month. An agency looks once a month, if that. We check every account every hour, 24/7.
  • Full auto does the daily work. Blocking "plumber jobs" before it costs another click, adding the search that turned into a job, swapping the losing ad. Switch on "Optimize everything for me" and it does all of that itself.
  • A landing page for every keyword, included. At an agency that's rarely done, and costs thousands. Here it's built for you.
  • No 6 to 12 month contract. Cancel in one click, and everything it built stays in your Google Ads.

Built by the agency owner who now teaches 40,000 people a month

Over 40,000 people a month learn Google Ads from Daniel Dimsey on YouTube. Before that he ran a home service business, then an agency managing over $2 million a month in ad spend. This is what he teaches, done for every account, every hour.

What full auto still asks you

Only the big calls: more budget, a new campaign, new areas or a new page going live. Rather OK every change? Pick "ask me first".

Google Ads agency vs AI software: the cost

$1 to start, for 30 days. Then US$299 / month per ad account. Landing pages, split tests and call tracking are included. Clicks are paid to Google, as with an agency. Google Ads agency vs AI software comes down to this: every hour instead of once a month, and no contract. Compare the other Google Ads alternatives, or see it at work in Google Ads for plumbers.

Questions people ask

Do I really not have to touch anything?

Switch on full auto and it makes the day-to-day changes itself. It only asks on big calls, like more budget or a new campaign.

Is this anti-agency?

No. Daniel ran one. A good agency brings a person who knows your market. Software just does the daily part every hour, at a different price.

Can I run this beside my agency for a month?

Yes. In "ask me first" mode every change waits for one tap, so you can compare its suggestions with theirs before deciding anything.
