What Surge does for your ads
Surge runs paid search and social so you can stay focused on customers, not campaign dashboards.
More calls and bookings
Surge aims your ads at local buyers searching with intent, so spend turns into real calls and booked appointments, not clicks that go nowhere.
Campaigns that run themselves
No dashboards to babysit. Surge writes, launches, and tunes Google Ads and Meta ads in the background while you stay focused on customers.
Hard budget guardrails
Set a monthly cap and the rules you care about. Surge never spends past your limit and asks for approval before any big move.
Scale winners, pause losers
Surge puts more budget behind the ads that bring bookings and quietly pauses the ones wasting money, so your cost per call keeps falling.
Local targeting that converts
Your ads reach nearby customers ready to book, not browsers three towns over. That local focus is why paid ads pay back for local business.
Google and Meta together
Run paid search and social from one place. Surge balances spend across Google Ads and Meta ads to capture both the searcher and the scroller.
Google Ads for your industry
Pick your kind of business to see how Surge runs Google Ads and Meta ads to bring in calls and bookings, with budgets and targeting tailored to the US and UK.
Hair salons live and die by a full chair.
Independent hair studios and suite renters run lean, so there is rarely a dedicated receptionist to catch enquiries.
Barbershops run on walk-ins and quick chairs.
Nail salons get a steady stream of calls about availability, gel, and group bookings, usually while every tech is mid-set.
Beauty salons juggle a wide menu and a busy diary, so front-desk calls about treatments and pricing are constant.
Spas sell relaxation, so a ringing, unanswered phone is exactly the friction guests do not want when they try to book.
Med spas field high-value enquiries about injectables and skin, and missed calls mean missed treatment revenue.
Dental practices handle a heavy call volume of new patients, emergencies, and reschedules that overwhelm a busy front desk.
Multi-chair dental clinics need every call answered, triaged, and booked without tying up clinical staff.
Orthodontic practices field long-consideration enquiries about braces and aligners that need fast, helpful answers.
Dermatology and skin clinics get detailed enquiries about conditions and treatments that deserve a real answer, not voicemail.
Chiropractic clinics book a steady flow of adjustments and new patients in pain who want to be seen quickly.
Physiotherapy and physical therapy clinics book recurring appointments, so every new enquiry should turn into a plan of care.
Opticians and optometry practices field eye-test bookings, contact-lens queries, and frame questions all day.
Vet practices handle anxious owners, urgent cases, and routine bookings that all need a calm, immediate response.
Massage therapists are in treatment for an hour at a time, so the phone is the first thing to go unanswered.
Tattoo studios get a flood of enquiries about ideas, pricing, and availability, usually while artists are mid-piece.
Pet groomers book full-day diaries by phone and get constant calls about availability and breed-specific cuts.
Heating and cooling companies get urgent calls when systems fail, and the first firm to answer usually wins the job.
Plumbers field urgent leak and no-hot-water calls all day, and a missed call is almost always a lost emergency job.
Law firms and solicitors get high-value enquiries where the first responsive call often wins the client.
Estate agents and realtors live on speed to lead, so every viewing and valuation call needs an instant answer.
Garages and auto shops get nonstop calls about quotes, MOTs, and breakdowns while every tech is under a bonnet.

Frequently asked questions
What is managed Google Ads for local business?
It means VisibleIQ's Surge runs your paid advertising for you. Surge builds Google Ads and Meta ads, targets the local customers most likely to book, and tunes the campaigns every day so your budget goes to the searches and audiences that turn into calls. You set the budget and the rules; Surge does the work.
How much should I spend on Google Ads?
Start with a budget you are comfortable losing in a slow month, then scale once the results prove out. Many local businesses begin with a few hundred dollars or pounds a month. Surge respects the hard cap you set, so you never get a runaway bill, and it asks before spending more on the campaigns that earn it.
How do the budget guardrails protect my spend?
You set a hard monthly cap and the rules that matter, like a maximum cost per call. Surge stays inside those guardrails automatically, shifts budget toward what converts, and asks for approval before any major change. No surprise charges, no campaigns running wild while you are busy.
Should I run ads myself or have them managed?
DIY can work, but ad platforms reward constant tuning that most owners do not have time for. Surge handles the day to day, scaling what brings calls and pausing what drains spend, so you get managed paid ads without the agency retainer or the babysitting.
