I run five shops, that’s five sets of campaigns. But only one tab in Bytown and 3 hours of work each month now that it’s set up.

Example numbers for a home-service business — drag the sliders to match yours. Agency fee assumes 15% of ad spend with a $1,000 minimum. Your time is the hours a month you spend on calls, briefs and approvals.
Every pulsing dot is someone in your service area typing a search that should land on your business. Without Bytown, most of them land on your competitor.
Illustrative. Real volumes depend on your trade, city and service radius. Bytown shows you exact search numbers before you commit a dollar.
Text Bytown between calls. Check this week’s leads and change an ad without opening a laptop.
Calls were up 21% last month. Evening “furnace repair near me” searches booked the most jobs.
Most local business owners either overpay an agency that sends monthly PDFs they never open — or do nothing and hope word-of-mouth keeps working. Here's what that looks like next to a Bytown month.
"They send you a PDF every month. You still don't know what's working."
And if you're not paying an agency, you're probably paying Yelp, Angie's, HomeAdvisor and Thumbtack — all claiming credit for the same lead.
Every call tracked to the ad that brought it
Numbers are illustrative. Your results depend on your trade, service area, and ad spend.
You have customers to serve. On the Done for you plan, our expert marketers run your ads for you — setup, budgets, and testing handled. You see the leads come in and get back to work.

If you can describe your business to a customer over the phone, you can set up Bytown. You talk, Bytown listens, ads get drafted for you to read. No dashboards, no keywords or match types or acronyms. Want someone alongside you? Advisors adds a marketing expert for $199 a month.
They are. Even in small towns almost everyone searches before they call — they just do not search the words you would use. Bytown shows you the exact phrases local people type for your service, usually a few you had no idea about, and drafts ads against them.
Local Services Ads cover a few categories on one surface of Google, and they work — this sits alongside them, not instead. Bytown runs Search, Meta and LinkedIn too, so you reach the people still comparing options, not only the ones ready to call this minute.
No. Bytown can run ads that drive calls straight to your phone, or send people to whatever page you already have. If you do have a site, ads point at it as-is — no rebuild, no developer, and no waiting for someone to finish a page first.
Campaigns go live within days and the first calls often arrive the same week. Thirty days is when the picture gets useful — enough searches to see which ones bring real customers and which only bring price shoppers. You watch it in your own account throughout.
Most local businesses start at $300 to $500 a month in ad spend, wherever their customers actually are. Bytown suggests a starting number from your service area and your average job value, and you change it any time — up, down or off, with no penalty.
No. You pay a flat $199 a month on Pro, and your ad budget goes straight to Google or Meta on your own card. Spending more does not cost you more here, so nobody has a reason to push your budget up for their own sake.
There are no refunds, but you are never more than a month in — cancel before the next bill and it ends there. And if ads turn out not to suit your business, you will have the numbers showing it, which tells you where to put the money instead.
Pro is $199 a month and runs one ad platform, which is what most local businesses need. Max is $449 and runs all of them. No contract, no setup fee, and the price stays put whether your ad budget is $300 a month or $3,000.
Yes — for a local business they usually are the leads. Bytown sets up call tracking in your Google Ads account so a phone call counts the same as a form, including calls placed straight from the ad. You see which ad and search brought each one.
Because you can cancel tomorrow in one click, with no contract and no phone call. Every dollar is tracked to a lead you can check yourself. And unlike a freelancer who set it up and moved on, the AI optimizes continuously, every hour, every day.
It drives traffic to the site or landing page you already have, wherever you want people to end up, and nothing needs rebuilding. To count form submissions as leads, one snippet goes on the page — Bytown writes it and it takes about five minutes to paste.
Your competitor down the street is already on page one. Describe your business in a sentence. Bytown drafts a campaign in five minutes. You approve it. The phone starts ringing. You get back to work.
