Lead Generation Built for Local Service Businesses

More booked jobs. Less agency nonsense.

NXT manages Google Ads, Meta Ads, Local Services Ads, Microsoft Ads and ChatGPT Ads—and builds search-ready websites, landing pages and ad creative—with every engagement focused on leads, calls and booked jobs.

Your ad spend is paid to the platform and never marked up by NXT.

Know where the money goes.

Most owners cannot answer a simple question: how much went to advertising, and how much went to the agency? Here is the path your money takes, and where our fee sits in it.

  1. 1

    Your advertising budget

    Paid to the platform, in your account

  2. 2

    Advertising platforms

    Google, Meta, LSA, Microsoft, ChatGPT

  3. 3

    Qualified leads

    Filtered by intent and service area

  4. 4

    Calls and appointments

    Tracked, recorded, measured

  5. 5

    Booked jobs

    The number that actually matters

  6. 6

    Revenue

    Attributed where tracking supports it

Your ad spend

This is the money that buys clicks, calls and impressions. It is billed by Google, Meta, Microsoft or OpenAI — in your own account where the platform allows it — and NXT adds no markup to the platform charge.

NXT management fee

Paid media management starts at $500/month with clear, upfront pricing. Additional channels add $200/month each to the management minimum.

The problem

Where your ad budget is leaking.

No account is perfectly efficient, and no honest agency will promise to eliminate waste. But most accounts we review are losing money in a handful of predictable places.

Targeting that is too broad

Radius targeting that pays for calls from outside your service area, or for job types you do not sell.

Irrelevant search terms

Budget going to DIY, parts, jobs, wholesale and research searches that were never going to book.

Weak conversion tracking

Conversions that count 12-second hangups, duplicate form fills, or nothing at all — so every report is fiction.

Missed calls

The most common leak we find. Paid leads that rang once, went to voicemail, and called a competitor.

Landing pages that do not convert

Generic homepages taking traffic that needed a job-specific page with a visible phone number.

Activity without business

Impressions, clicks and engagement all climbing while booked jobs stay flat.

Reporting

No vanity metrics.

Impressions and clicks tell you an ad ran. They do not tell you whether the phone rang, whether the call was answered, or whether the job got booked. Our reporting is ordered by what affects your business.

What leads the report

  • Leads
  • Qualified leads
  • Calls (and calls answered)
  • Booked jobs
  • Cost per lead
  • Cost per acquisition
  • Attributed revenue where tracking supports it

What stays in the appendix

  • Impressions
  • Clicks and click-through rate
  • Reach and engagement
  • Impression share

These are useful for diagnosing a campaign. They are not evidence that advertising is working.

Why NXT

Built for owners who are tired of guessing.

Transparent pricing

Paid media management starts at $500/month with clear, upfront pricing. Each additional channel adds $200 to the monthly minimum.

Ad spend is separate

Advertising spend is billed by the platform, in your own account where applicable, and is not marked up by NXT. Our fee is for management, and it is stated on its own line.

Real reporting

Reporting leads with leads, qualified leads, calls, booked jobs and cost per lead. Clicks and impressions are context, not the headline.

No unnecessary lock-in

Engagements are structured month to month after the initial build period, and your ad accounts, data and history stay yours if we part ways.

How it works

Diagnose. Build. Launch. Optimize.

  1. Stage 1

    Diagnose

    We audit the existing accounts, conversion tracking, search terms, landing pages and call handling before touching a budget. Most accounts have a tracking problem before they have a strategy problem.

  2. Stage 2

    Build

    Campaigns are structured by job type and intent, negatives and geography are set, and conversion actions are created and verified end to end — including call duration thresholds.

  3. Stage 3

    Launch

    We start where demand already exists rather than launching every channel at once, confirm data is flowing correctly, and watch answer rate alongside cost per lead.

  4. Stage 4

    Optimize

    Ongoing search term review, bid and budget management, creative and landing page testing, and reporting that compares cost per booked job over time.

Industries

Built for businesses where a lead has a dollar value.

NXT is built around local service businesses where every qualified call, appointment and booked job matters. Demand timing, lead value and the definition of a good lead change by trade — each page below explains what actually differs, not the same paragraph with the trade name swapped out.

Plus other local service businesses — if your customers search before they buy, ask about yours.

What we measure

What a good campaign should be able to tell you.

We do not publish testimonials or client logos we cannot verify. Instead, here are the questions your advertising should be able to answer at any time — whether we manage it or someone else does.

Which searches produced calls, and which only produced clicks?

A good account can name the search terms behind its leads. If a report cannot, the tracking is not finished.

What does a lead cost by job type?

One blended cost per lead hides everything. Repair, replacement and project work should each have their own number.

How many leads were answered?

Answer rate belongs in a media report. Unanswered paid calls are the fastest way to waste a working campaign.

What share of leads were actually qualified?

Wrong area, wrong service, renters, vendors and price-only calls should be counted separately from real opportunities.

What is the cost per booked job?

This is the number that decides whether advertising is working, and it requires the CRM and the ad platform to be connected.

What changed this month, and why?

Every meaningful change should have a stated reason and an expected effect you can check against later.
