TLG Marketing is a Long Beach agency that runs Google Ads for businesses across the city. We choose the searches worth paying for, aim each campaign at the neighborhoods you serve, build the landing pages and count every call and form the ads produce. Our team works out of 356 Redondo Ave, and you can sit down with whoever runs your account, here or at your business.
What it takes to win Long Beach customers with paid search
- Targeting that follows real boundaries. Long Beach surrounds Signal Hill, borders Lakewood and Carson, and meets Seal Beach at the San Gabriel River, which doubles as the Orange County line. A radius around your address buys clicks from all of them, so we target by ZIP code or hand-drawn area and exclude places you don’t serve.
- Event weeks need their own budget. The Grand Prix takes over downtown streets around the Convention Center each April, the Pride parade runs along Ocean Boulevard in May, and LA28 brings sailing, beach volleyball and water polo to the city in summer 2028. Hotels, restaurants and parking operators near those venues can raise spend for those dates and reach visitors still planning the trip.
- Port buyers search for exact services. Freight forwarders, customs brokers, warehouses and trucking firms near the Port of Long Beach sell to shippers who type terms like drayage or transloading. The same words also bring in job seekers, so we bid narrowly, add negative keywords such as “jobs” and “hiring”, and send each click to a page with your capabilities and a quote form.
- Spanish searches deserve their own campaign. About 140,000 Long Beach residents speak Spanish at home, according to the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey. Spanish keywords, Spanish ads and a Spanish landing page, tracked separately, serve them better than translated ad text that leads to an English page.
How we run a Long Beach Google Ads campaign
We begin with a meeting, at your business or on Redondo Avenue, about where your best customers come from and what a new one is worth to you. Calls, forms and GA4 key events are tracked before any budget is spent. Campaigns are then split by service and by area, so spend in Belmont Shore and spend in North Long Beach are judged on their own results.
We review the search terms report regularly and block wasted clicks. Your monthly report breaks down spend, leads and cost per lead by campaign, and Google’s location report shows which parts of the city your clicks and leads came from. The method behind it is explained on our Google Ads management page.

// Buyer’s guide
How to choose a Google Ads agency in Long Beach
Ask how they would map your area
A shop in Bixby Knolls and a restaurant on 2nd Street serve very different slices of the city. Ask each agency which ZIP codes or areas it would target for you, which neighboring cities it would exclude, and how its reports will show the cost of a lead from each part of town.
Plan for the city’s big weekends
Ask how the agency would handle the Grand Prix in April, the Pride parade in May and the LA28 events coming to the waterfront in 2028. A useful plan says when budgets rise, which ads change and how hours, parking and road closures are explained to people searching that week.
Keep the ad account in your name
The Google Ads account, its billing and its history should belong to your business, with the agency added as a user. Get the management fee in writing, separate from ad spend, and terms you can end with notice. Be wary of anyone who promises a fixed position or a set number of leads.
Meet whoever manages your campaigns
The person on the sales call often never touches the campaigns. Ask to meet whoever will adjust your bids and read your search terms. At TLG, that meeting can happen in our Long Beach office on Redondo Avenue. For any agency, check that its Google Maps address leads to a staffed office.

// Questions
Google Ads in Long Beach: common questions
Can we meet in person to review our Google Ads?
Yes. Bring your questions to our office at 356 Redondo Ave, or we’ll come to your business and walk through the campaigns there. Between meetings you get a monthly report on spend, leads and cost per lead, and you can call us with questions Monday to Friday.
Should a Belmont Shore business advertise to the whole city?
Usually not at first. A café or salon on 2nd Street tends to draw customers from the surrounding neighborhoods, so we start with the nearby ZIP codes and widen the area only if those clicks turn into visits and bookings. Businesses that drive to their customers can cover more ground, with each area priced and reported separately.
Can Google Ads reach shippers that use the Port of Long Beach?
Yes, when your offer matches what they search for, such as drayage, transloading, customs brokerage or bonded warehousing. Those searches are few, so we keep keywords tight, block job-related searches and send clicks to a page listing your capabilities with a quote form. Because freight contracts often take several conversations, we also track which quote requests became customers.
How should our ads change during Grand Prix weekend?
If you’re near the downtown circuit, update your ads and landing pages for those days: opening times, the easiest route in while streets are closed, and any race-weekend offers. Hotels and restaurants close to the course may want extra budget for the weekend, while a business in North Long Beach can usually leave its campaigns as they are.
Do you run Spanish-language ads for Long Beach customers?
Yes. We build a separate campaign with Spanish keywords and ad copy, pointed at a Spanish landing page, and track its calls and forms on their own. It works best when someone who speaks Spanish answers the phone or replies to the form, so we plan that with you before launch.
We’re a Long Beach contractor. What do our ads need to include?
California’s Contractors State License Board counts websites and online ads as advertising, so your license number must appear in them, with your business name exactly as CSLB records show it. We put both on every landing page. For eligible trades we can also run Local Services Ads, which charge per lead and, depending on the category, involve license, insurance or background checks by Google.
How much should we spend on ads?
It depends on your market, the competition for your keywords and how many leads you need. Tell us your budget on the form and we’ll show you what it can realistically achieve.
How soon will ads bring in leads?
Ads can start showing within days of launch, once the platforms approve them. The first weeks are a learning period, and most accounts need two to three months of data before cost per lead is stable enough to judge.
Can you take over our existing ad account?
Yes. We start with an audit of your current campaigns and tracking, keep what works and fix what doesn’t. Your account history stays intact, which helps the platforms’ automated bidding.
What do you need from us to get started?
Access to your Google Ads or Meta ad account and Google Analytics, plus a 30-minute call about your services, your customers and what a good lead is worth to you.
