For HVAC and plumbing businesses

Stop paying Google for searches that will never become jobs.

Leakproof Ads finds the job seekers, do-it-yourselfers and parts shoppers your Google Ads are paying for, and hands you the block list to stop them. Start with a free scan of your last 90 days.

No passwords. No access to your account. Works alongside whoever runs your ads. See a sample report.

How it works

Broad match, Performance Max and AI Max keep widening which searches trigger your ads. Some of those searches become jobs. Many never will. We find them, show you what they cost, and help you block them.

1

Export your search terms

Download the last 90 days of search terms from Google Ads. Our scan page shows the steps and takes your file. No logins and no access to your account.

2

Get your Leak Scan

Every search is checked against hundreds of trade-specific junk patterns and your four answers, and a person reviews your report before it's sent. You see what junk cost you, by theme, with real examples, plus an honest estimate of how much keeps coming back. See a sample report.

Stop the leak

Get a ready-to-upload block list. If junk keeps returning, our weekly watch checks for new searches every week and sends you any new blocks every Monday.

Your own numbers decide what we offer. If we find very little junk, we'll say so and there's nothing to buy. If the junk is mostly one-time, we'll recommend a one-time cleanup. We only offer the weekly watch when your scan shows new junk coming back at three times its fee or more.

Built to protect the searches that bring you customers

Blocking the wrong search costs more than any junk click, so the rules below are built into the software, not left to judgment.

  • Converting searches are safe. A search your account recorded as a conversion or a tracked call is never blocked. If your account isn't tracking conversions, your report says so.
  • Your services, brands and towns are protected. Every block is tested against the searches your customers are likely to use, including ones you haven't seen yet.
  • Precise and reversible. Exact and phrase-match negatives only, kept in one list you can remove in a click.
  • You stay in control. In your first month nothing touches your account: you get a file to upload, and you approve every theme.
  • Works with your agency. We don't run campaigns, set bids or write ads. We only find and block junk.
  • Honest numbers. We report the spend moved off junk, labelled as an estimate, not promised savings.

Questions

Do you need access to my Google Ads account?

Not for the scan. You export a search terms report and upload it on our scan page. If you subscribe, you add our service address as a read-only user in Google Ads, which you can remove in one click at any time. We only ask for more access if you later want us to apply blocks for you.

An agency runs my ads. Will this cause problems?

It shouldn't. We don't change campaigns, bids, budgets or ads. Blocks go into one shared negative keyword list that anyone can review or remove. Your agency can review every block before it goes in, and we're glad to send them the report too.

How do you decide what counts as junk?

Before the scan we ask four questions: the services you offer, the towns you serve, residential or commercial, and your brand names. Our software then checks each search against trade-specific patterns and those answers, the safety rules above filter the results, and a person reviews every report.

Is the scan really free?

Yes. One scan per business, no card and no obligation. It shows your own numbers before you decide anything.

Will blocking junk cut my Google Ads bill?

Not always. In a campaign with a fixed daily budget, Google usually spends the freed-up money on other searches, which is the point: more of your budget goes to people who might hire you. That's why we report the spend moved off junk as an estimate, not guaranteed savings.
