Your budget is working hard, but most of what Google counts as a conversion today is a tap on a map listing, with nothing showing whether the call connected or became a case. Point bidding at qualified calls and signed cases, put the budget behind the campaigns that produce them, and turn more clicks into calls with pages built and tested by case type. That is where this plan starts.
Your Google Search and Performance Max account over the last 90 days.
Jul 22 to Oct 19, 2026. Search and Performance Max only. Local Services, YouTube and Display are excluded.
Non-brand Search and Performance Max, from your account. These moved over the same months as the rise in your cost per signed case, and we haven’t tied any one of them to it. Your signed cases by campaign will show which campaigns are earning their budget.

Sep 8 to Oct 19. Counts means bidding learns from it; tracked only means it’s recorded, but bidding ignores it. No action carries a value, the lead form’s conversion action shows as misconfigured, and enhanced conversions are off.
Four places in the account where more signed cases can come from.
Share of the 2,855 Search and PMax conversions. Your main campaigns bid to maximize conversions, so bidding learns from whatever is cheapest to get. First-time callers now count only as secondary, so bidding no longer learns from them, and the lead form’s conversion action shows as misconfigured.
Spend per first-time caller from your call tracking upload, English Search, last 90 days. On uploaded leads the gap holds: $322 against $943. Personal Injury lost 41% of its eligible impressions to budget in October. Your signed cases by campaign decide where budget moves.
Spanish campaigns took 15% of Search spend in the last 90 days, most of it through a single broad keyword.
Quick wins, checked Oct 20: four pages that took paid clicks in the last 90 days no longer load, the truck page carries the car page’s subheading, and Performance Max sends Spanish traffic to a full site page instead of the Spanish landing page.
Google Search and Performance Max, run by our team, with landing pages built and tested alongside.
Your numbers from our Oct 9 call, three ways to start, and the goals we steer by.
A commercial vehicle case is worth far more, about ten times by your estimate. That is why each case type needs its own value in bidding.
Arithmetic on your numbers, not a forecast. Spend is the last 90 days averaged by month; $6,000 is the low end of the range you gave.
