Google Ads for Coaches and Consultants
by Character Strategy
Coaching is a relationship business, and the first step in that relationship increasingly starts on Google. Whether you offer executive coaching, life coaching, business coaching, or health coaching, your ideal clients are searching for guidance on the specific challenges they face.
We build Google Ads campaigns for coaches that attract clients who are ready to invest in high-ticket programs. By targeting the problems your coaching solves rather than the word coaching itself, we reach prospects who are motivated to change and have the budget to hire professional help.
Challenges facing Coaching advertisers.
Discovery calls with tire-kickers
Without proper qualification, your calendar fills with people who want free advice, cannot afford your rates, or are not ready to commit to a coaching engagement.
Difficulty justifying high-ticket pricing in ads
Coaching programs that cost thousands of dollars are a hard sell from a cold Google ad. Prospects need to build trust before they will consider investing at that level.
Coaching is hard to define in search terms
People rarely search for coaching directly. They search for the problem they want to solve, making keyword research for coaching businesses fundamentally different from other industries.
How we solve these problems.
Problem-based campaign targeting
We build campaigns around the specific problems your coaching solves, like how to grow my business or improve leadership skills, reaching people at their moment of need rather than targeting the generic term coaching.
Two-step conversion funnels
We design conversion paths that build trust first, such as free webinars, assessments, or guides, before asking for a discovery call booking, warming prospects and improving show rates.
Qualified discovery call optimization
We add qualifying questions to your booking flow that filter for budget, readiness, and fit, ensuring your discovery calls are with prospects who match your ideal client profile.
