//Fresno · A Google Ads agency
A Google Ads agency serving Fresnothat starts with what is actually broken.
Google Ads is only worth running if the math works. We start with what a customer is worth to you, because that decides everything else: which terms are affordable, how wide the geography can be, and whether paid search is the right first move at all.
Work directly with our founders. No account-manager handoff.
Already operating? You are in the right place.
We work best with businesses that have customers, a real offer and a marketing budget set aside. Still forming the company, or looking for no-cost startup help? Use our free Fresno startup guide instead. It is the better starting point and it costs nothing.
What changes in Fresno.
Fresno anchors a valley that grows more than 300 crops and ranks among the top farm counties in the country, and that engine shapes the whole city. Packing houses, cold storage, food manufacturers and the irrigation and agricultural technology firms serving them cluster here, alongside the logistics operations that move the harvest. Community Medical Centers is one of the region's largest employers, and Fresno State adds another economy on top.
For paid search that mix creates two very different jobs. A business selling into agriculture or logistics is often chasing a small number of high-value accounts, where a handful of clicks a month can matter and broad targeting is pure waste. A consumer or local service business is playing a volume game across a wide, spread-out metro where geography settings quietly decide half the budget. Getting those two confused is the most common way ad spend disappears here.
What we would look at first.
- 1Are the right people finding you?Search, maps and paid placement for the terms that carry buying intent, not the ones that only carry volume.
- 2Are you paying for the right demand?Spend against what converts, and an honest look at the demand you are buying that was never going to.
- 3Does the site finish the job?The offer, the proof and the next step, on the page the traffic actually lands on.
- 4Can the owner tell what worked?Calls, forms and bookings traced back far enough to make the next budget decision defensible.
Already have an agency? Good. Bring the report.
We will tell you what looks healthy, what we cannot verify and where we would look first. If the current setup makes sense, we will say that too. You do not have to fire anyone to get a second read.
Work you can check.
These are our clients, not Fresno clients. Every number on them is published on the study itself, so you can read the whole engagement rather than a highlight.
What we would most likely run for Fresno.
Founders stay.
The people you meet stay on the account. There is no sales handoff and no junior takeover after the contract is signed.
Yours to keep.
Accounts, domains, ad platforms and content are in your name. If we part ways you keep all of it.
Month to month.
No annual lock-in. We would rather keep the work worth renewing than hold you to a term.
//Common questions
What Fresno owners ask us first.
Are you actually local to Fresno?
No. Mining Wells is based in Irvine and serves Fresno businesses from there. There is no Fresno office and we will not list one. Ad accounts are managed remotely regardless of who runs them.
What is the minimum ad budget worth starting with?
It depends entirely on what a customer is worth and how competitive your terms are, which is why we work that out before quoting anything. If your numbers say paid search will not pay back yet, we will tell you that rather than take the management fee.
What if I already run Google Ads?
Bring the account. We will tell you what looks healthy, what we cannot verify and where we would look first. Wide geography targeting and spend on terms you already rank for organically are the two most common findings.
Who owns the ad account?
You do. It stays in your name, so the campaign history and the learning stay with you if we stop working together. We will not rebuild your account inside ours.
Can you guarantee a cost per lead?
No. We can tell you what your current cost per lead appears to be, what is inflating it and what we would change first. A guaranteed figure before seeing the account would be a guess dressed up as a promise.
Get my free marketing plan.
