No plan for the big storm
Hail hits, searches spike, the daily budget is gone by 9 a.m. The next three days of calls go to whoever planned ahead.

Denver
In Denver, a single afternoon hailstorm can change your phone traffic for weeks. I set up Google Ads so you're ready when the weather turns, and so the budget stays on the Front Range customers you can actually serve.
Free: a 30-minute call, an action plan and a price range in writing.

Area
Ads in towns you never drive to
A radius from downtown reaches Boulder, Castle Rock and Brighton. Your crew doesn't go that far, but the clicks still cost money.
Policy
Ads that break Google's rules
Cannabis and some CBD products face strict limits on Google Ads. Ads that ignore that get disapproved, and repeated violations can suspend the account.

Google Ads in Denver: plan for the weather
Google Ads in Denver is shaped by Colorado weather more than by any calendar. Hail on the Front Range can damage thousands of roofs and cars in an afternoon, a heavy snowfall sends people searching for snow removal, furnace repair and tow trucks, and the first ski weekend changes what visitors look for. Search volume can jump overnight. Accounts that run the same daily budget every day miss those spikes or blow the budget in a few hours.
My answer is preparation. For weather-driven businesses I build storm or snow campaigns in advance, approved and paused. When the weather hits, I turn them on, raise the limits, target the affected areas and watch closely for a few days.
Targeting the Front Range properly
The Denver metro stretches from Thornton and Brighton in the north to Castle Rock in the south, from Golden in the west to Aurora in the east, with Boulder as its own market. A simple radius from downtown covers all of it and more. I set campaigns by the cities and zip codes you actually serve, often split:
- Central Denver and inner suburbs: Lakewood, Englewood, Wheat Ridge.
- South metro: Littleton, Centennial, Highlands Ranch, Parker, Castle Rock.
- North and east: Westminster, Thornton, Arvada, Aurora.
- Boulder County, separately, if you go there.
Restricted products and services
Colorado has a large legal cannabis market, but Google's policies don't allow ads promoting recreational drugs, and CBD is tightly restricted. Healthcare, addiction treatment and financial services have their own rules too; addiction treatment providers, for example, need LegitScript certification. I check policies before building anything, because disapprovals and suspensions cost more than the ads.
Ski season and mountain businesses
Businesses in the mountain towns and along the I-70 corridor sell to people who plan from Denver, other states or abroad. Their campaigns target where the customer lives, not where the business is, and follow the snow season. Rentals, lodging, lessons, restaurants and shuttles each get their own search themes.
Mistakes I fix most often
Phone calls not tracked, so Google optimizes for the wrong thing. Broad match running wild without negatives. Display placements switched on inside search campaigns. Landing pages that don't match the ad. Each one alone costs money; together they can sink an account. The Google Ads audit page explains what I look at.

common questions
How do storm campaigns work?
I build them in advance with ads about hail damage, inspections and insurance claims, then keep them paused. When a storm hits your area, you message me and I switch them on, raise the budget for a few days and target the affected neighborhoods. When demand fades, they go back to sleep. No scrambling to write ads the morning after.
Can I advertise a dispensary on Google?
Generally no. Google doesn't allow ads that promote recreational drugs, including cannabis, and its rules on CBD are strict and vary. For dispensaries, other channels such as SEO, Google Business Profile where permitted, email and SMS with proper consent usually matter more. Rules change, so check the current policies and with your attorney.
Should I target Boulder separately?
Yes, if you serve it. Boulder has its own competitors, prices and search habits. A separate campaign shows what it really costs to win jobs there, and you can decide whether the drive is worth it. The same goes for the southern suburbs and the northern ones.
Do you work with ski and mountain-town businesses?
Yes, and they need a different setup: people search from Denver, from other states and from abroad before a trip. Campaigns target where your customers are planning from, timed to the season. I'm happy to work with businesses in the mountain towns as well as the metro.
What does $1,000 a month for management include?
Search term reviews every week, bid and budget changes, new ads and tests, area and schedule tuning, tracking checks, a report every two weeks and direct contact with me on WhatsApp or Zoom. Larger or multi-channel accounts are quoted after a short call.
