If I could leave 6 stars, I would! After working with a couple of marketing agencies that didn’t really move the needle, we found Top Click Joe Inc. while searching on ChatGPT for a top digital marketing agency in Greeley, Colorado. As McCormick Heating & Cooling, located on the south side of Greeley near 31st Ave, we needed a company that could generate real local HVAC leads, not just traffic. Since starting with Top Click Joe, we’ve seen a noticeable increase in calls and better visibility online. What stands out most is their communication and transparency. We always know what’s being worked on, and we’re finally seeing results that make sense for our business. The owner of Top Click Joe came to our office to help train our technicians on how to get proper jobsite pictures and videos for our social media channels. If you’re a local service company in Greeley looking for real marketing results, we’d definitely recommend Top Click Joe Inc.

This is a shout out to Top Click Joe and his team, who did a great job setting me up with a website and fixing my google business profile. Great work I have already seen some movement in my rankings so that's cool. I am in a very tough niche with real estate investing and for us Gorillas it's like beating through the jungle. But we are happy with the direction he has started to gain for us. His seo and his talking about AI stuff getting found in ChatGPT so we are excited. They seem very knowledgeable about all the current Google trends. He doesn't monkey around just gets the job done. Thanks Joe and team.

Joe is amazing. I have professionally found him to be a hard working, strategic, dedicated expert at all he does for me and our company. From small details to large scale optimization across 9 offices in 5 states. It helps that he is also a kind person with a super energy to talk with and he really dives into being the best, standing behind what he offers, from all angles. Top notch and one of a kind. Thank you, Joe, and thank you to your whole team!

I’m the Director of Sales for Bear Carpet in Albuquerque, NM. While our company has trusted Top Click Joe Inc. for all our marketing needs for years, I’m actually writing this review for another reason. The owner, Joe Crivello-Sorensen, runs a Skool group called Street-Level SEO Pros alongside his team, and I recently joined the training. I have to say, I have never been involved in such a high-quality class. Going through this course makes it completely obvious why our owner hired Joe in the first place. Thank you to Joe and the whole team—I always look forward to the Thursday Q&A sessions! Chris Martinez, Director of Sales, Bear Carpet

Top Click Joe has a business model that is simply superior to others. He has 100+ employees, his processes are simple and followed, and he has years of personal experience as a business owner outside of his marketing company. I'm guessing there is no question he cannot answer. If there is, he will be honest enough to let you know and will get back to you quickly. I have known him for years and know him as an outstanding person, business owner, and marketing genius.

I'm DJ, and I own and operate a carpet and tile cleaning company. We've partnered with Top Click Joe Inc. for 6 years, and it’s been the best decision for our carpet and tile cleaning business in Billings. Joe and his team handle our Google Ads and local search visibility. What sets them apart from other marketers is that they actually understand the floor care and home service industry. They know what a high-value tile restoration lead looks like versus a basic single-room cleaning. Thanks to their Street Level SEO approach, our schedule is packed right as we hit the spring rush. If you run a local service business, you want this agency in your corner.

You’ve probably seen them.

When someone in Fort Collins searches for a plumber, roofer, electrician, or HVAC company on Google, the first results they see aren’t traditional ads. They aren’t organic listings, either.

They’re Local Service Ads (LSA) — the profiles with the green checkmark and the words “Google Screened” right next to the business name.

And if you’re a contractor or service business owner in Fort Collins, Colorado, that badge changes everything.

It tells potential customers you’ve been background-checked. Verified. Trusted by Google. And when they click your profile, you don’t pay unless the lead is valid and real.

At Top Click Joe, we don’t just set up Local Service Ads and hope they work. We manage your LSA profile the way a contractor who’s been in the trenches for 27 years would manage it — because that’s exactly who built this system.

Joe Crivello-Sorensen, CEO of Top Click Joe, spent nearly three decades running emergency response businesses, roofing companies, and specialty cleaning operations. That real-world experience now drives our internet marketing approach He knows what a good lead looks like. He knows what kills your budget. And he knows how to set up LSA, so you get phone calls from people ready to book, not tire-kickers wasting your time.

If you’re ready to earn the Google Screened badge, rank at the very top of Fort Collins search results, and pay only for leads that matter, let’s talk.

What Local Service Ads Are &
Why They Matter for Fort Collins Contractors

Local Service Ads are Google’s premium placement program for service-based businesses.

When someone searches for your service in Fort Collins — like “plumber near me” or “roofer Fort Collins Colorado” — LSA profiles appear at the very top, above everything else.

Here's what makes them different:

Top placement

Your business shows up before paid ads and organic results.

Google Screened badge

A green checkmark that tells customers you’ve been vetted.

Pay per valid lead

You’re only charged when a real customer contacts you through the platform.

Call tracking included

Every lead is tracked, recorded, and disputable if it’s not legitimate.

Trust signal

The badge increases conversion rates because customers see you as verified.

In a competitive market like Fort Collins, where dozens of contractors fight for the same jobs, showing up first with a trust badge is the difference between getting the call and watching your competitor get it. Unlike social media advertising, LSA puts you at the very top of search results when customers are actively looking for your service.

Why Local Service Ads Beat Traditional
Google Ads for Service Businesses

If you’ve run Google Ads before, you know the frustration.

You set a daily budget. You bid on keywords. You get clicks. But half the clicks are garbage — wrong service area, people just browsing, competitors clicking your ads, bots.

You pay for all of it.

With Local Service Ads, that changes.

Here's the difference:

Google Ads

Local Service Ads

Pay per click (even if it’s junk)

Pay per valid lead only

No built-in trust signal

Google Screened badge included

Appears below LSA in search results

Appears at the very top

Conversion depends entirely on your landing page

Built-in trust = higher conversion

Complex setup and ongoing optimization required

Simpler setup, less day-to-day management

Joe runs both. For years. In his own businesses.

And here’s what he learned: LSA works better for service businesses because it eliminates wasted spend and gives you a trust advantage traditional pay-per-click advertising can’t match

How Local Service Ads Work – The Pay-Per-Valid-Lead Model

Local Service Ads operate on a pay-per-lead model, not pay-per-click.

That means:

You only pay when someone contacts you directly

through a phone call, message, or booking request

All leads are tracked and recorded

You can listen to calls, review messages, and dispute invalid

Google refunds disputed leads

If someone called the wrong number, wasn’t in your service area, or was spam, you can dispute it and get your money back

Here’s how it works step-by-step:

1

Your LSA profile goes live
We set up and optimize your Local Service Ads profile with the right services, service areas, business hours, photos, and reviews.

2

Your profile appears at the top of Google search
When someone in Fort Collins searches for your service, your profile shows up first — with the Google Screened badge.

3

A customer contacts you
They call, message, or book directly through the LSA platform.

4

You get charged only for that lead
Google tracks the interaction. If it’s valid, you pay. If it’s not, you dispute it.

5

You close the job
The lead books. You do the work. You get paid. That’s the whole point.

Common Problems Fort Collins Contractors Face Without LSA Optimization

Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) Fort Collins

If you’re running a service business in Fort Collins without an optimized Local Service Ads profile, you’re likely dealing with one or more of these issues:

You didn’t start your business to sit at a desk managing Google. You started it to do the work and get paid.

Our Local Service Ads Management Process

At Top Click Joe, we handle your LSA profile the way Joe managed his own businesses for 27 years — with real money on the line and zero tolerance for wasted spend.

 

Here’s how we do it:

step

1

Background Check & Google Screened Badge Setup

We walk you through the entire Google Screened verification process:

✅ Background check submission
✅ License and insurance verification
✅ Business documentation
✅ Badge approval and activation

If you’re already verified, we confirm your badge is displayed correctly, and your profile is compliant.

step

2

LSA Profile Optimization

We build and optimize your Local Service Ads profile so it ranks higher, converts better, and attracts the right customers:

Service selection – We list every service you offer so you show up for the right searches.
Service area setup – We define your coverage area to match where you actually work.
Business hours – Accurate hours so customers know when to call.
Profile photos – Professional images of your trucks, team, and work.
Business description – Written to build trust and highlight what makes you different.
Review requests – We set up a system to generate Google reviews that boost your LSA ranking.

step

3

Lead Management & Dispute Handling

We monitor your LSA account daily and handle the tasks most contractors don’t have time for:

Lead review – We listen to call recordings and review messages to confirm lead quality.
Dispute invalid leads – If a lead is spam, wrong service area, or accidental, we dispute it immediately.
Response management – We respond to customer messages quickly so you don’t lose jobs.
Weekly lead reports – You get a breakdown of every lead, what it cost, and whether it was valid.

step

4

Ongoing Optimization & Budget Management

Local Service Ads aren’t “set it and forget it.” We manage your profile like an active campaign:

Budget tracking – We monitor your weekly spend and adjust as needed.
Ranking optimization – We improve your profile to rank higher in LSA results.
Seasonal adjustments – During busy seasons, we increase your budget. During slow months, we scale back.
Performance analysis – We track leads, cost per lead, and conversion rates so you know what’s working.

step

5

Review Generation & Reputation Management

Your star rating and review count directly affect your LSA ranking. Combined with a strong social media marketing presence, reviews become even more powerful. 

We help you:

✅ Request reviews from happy customers
✅ Respond to reviews (positive and negative)
✅ Maintain a high rating to stay competitive

In Fort Collins, where customers compare profiles side-by-side, a 4.8-star profile with 50 reviews beats a 4.2-star profile with 12 reviews every time.

Why Top Click Joe Is Different –
Built by a Contractor Who's Been There

Most marketing agencies theorize about what works for contractors.

Joe Crivello-Sorensen lived it.

For 27 years (nearly three decades), Joe owned and operated multiple service businesses in competitive local markets:

He didn’t learn Local Service Ads from a webinar. He learned it by:

When Joe manages your LSA profile, he’s managing it the way he managed his own — because he knows what matters and what doesn’t.

Who Local Service Ads Are Best For (And Who They're Not)

Frequently Asked Questions About Local Service Ads Fort Collins, Colorado

How long does it take to get the Google Screened badge?

The Google Screened badge approval process typically takes 5 to 10 business days after you submit all required documentation. This includes background checks for the business owner and key employees, proof of licensing, and insurance verification.

 

If there are any issues with your submission, Google will notify you and give you a chance to resubmit. Once approved, your badge appears immediately on your LSA profile. At Top Click Joe, we walk you through the entire process and make sure your application is complete and accurate the first time.

If you receive an invalid lead — such as a wrong number, spam call, someone outside your service area, or a customer looking for a service you don’t offer — you can dispute it directly in your LSA dashboard. Google allows you to listen to recorded calls and review message threads before deciding whether to dispute. If your dispute is approved, Google refunds the lead cost. We handle dispute management for our clients, reviewing every lead and disputing invalid ones on your behalf so you don’t waste budget on junk leads.

Lead costs vary depending on your industry, competition, and the specific service. In Fort Collins, typical LSA lead costs range from $15 to $75+ per lead, with emergency services (plumbing, HVAC, electrical) and high-ticket services (roofing, foundation repair) usually costing more.

 

Unlike Google Ads, you don’t bid on keywords or set a cost-per-click. Google determines the cost per lead based on market demand, and you’re only charged when a customer contacts you. We monitor your lead costs and provide weekly reports so you always know what you’re paying and what you’re getting.

Yes. In fact, many of our Fort Collins clients run both. Local Service Ads appear at the very top of search results, while Google Ads appear just below. Running both gives you maximum visibility and allows you to dominate the first page.

 

LSA is ideal for generating high-intent calls quickly, while Google Ads gives you more control over targeting, messaging, and landing pages. We help you build a strategy that uses both platforms effectively without cannibalizing your budget or competing with yourself.

Your star rating and review count are ranking factors in Local Service Ads, but they’re not the only factors. Google also considers response time, profile completeness, and how well your services match search queries. That said, reviews do matter.

 

If you’re just starting out or don’t have many reviews yet, we help you build a review generation system that requests feedback from happy customers after every job. Over time, your review count increases, your rating improves, and your LSA ranking goes up. We also help you respond to reviews (positive and negative) to show potential customers you care about service quality.

Yes. To earn the Google Screened badge, you must provide proof of applicable licensing and general liability insurance. The specific requirements vary by industry and location, but most service businesses in Fort Collins need to show a valid contractor’s license (if applicable) and proof of insurance.

 

If you operate in a trade that doesn’t require licensing (like cleaning or handyman services), you’ll still need to provide insurance documentation. We help you gather and submit all required documents during the setup process.

You can pause or stop your LSA profile at any time without penalty. When you pause, your profile stops appearing in search results, and you stop receiving (and paying for) leads. Your Google Screened badge remains active as long as your background check and verification are current.

 

If you decide to reactivate later, your profile goes live again immediately. Some Fort Collins contractors pause LSA during their slow season and reactivate during peak months to control costs. We help you manage your LSA schedule based on your capacity and seasonal demand.

Yes. You set a weekly budget that determines how much you’re willing to spend on leads. Once your budget is reached, your profile stops appearing in search results until the next week. This prevents overspending and gives you predictable lead costs.

 

We help you set an appropriate budget based on your industry, competition, and lead volume goals. During busy seasons, we recommend increasing your budget to capture more demand. During slow periods, we scale back to avoid wasting spend.

Local Service Ads (LSA) appear at the very top of Google search results, above everything else. They include the Google Screened badge, call tracking, and pay-per-lead pricing. You pay to appear in LSA results.

Google Business Profile (GBP), also called the Map Pack, appears below LSA and above organic results. It’s free, but ranking in the Map Pack requires strong local SEO, reviews, and profile optimization. Both are important, and they work together. At Top Click Joe, we manage both your LSA profile and your GBP to maximize your visibility in Fort Collins search results.

Every LSA lead is tracked and recorded. You can log into your LSA dashboard and see:

 

✅ How many leads you received
✅ What each lead cost
✅ Which leads were valid and which were disputed
✅ How many calls, messages, and bookings you got
✅ Your total spend for the week or month

 

We also provide weekly lead reports that break down performance, cost per lead, and conversion insights. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying, where your leads are coming from, and whether LSA is delivering ROI. If something isn’t working, we adjust your profile, budget, or strategy to improve results.
