Google Ads for Rochester small businesses.
TL;DR
Nationwide digital marketing agency, with a presence in Buffalo, managing Google Ads for Rochester and the surrounding metro. Search, Local Services Ads, and Google Business Profile, structured around your service area and lead goals.
Rochester has a real small-business economy — home services, healthcare, legal, trades, restaurants — and most of them are overpaying an out-of-market agency or fighting a broken account they set up themselves. Cedar builds Google Ads campaigns for Rochester owner-operators who need every dollar to show up as a lead.

We know the Rochester metro
Henrietta retail traffic, Pittsford professional-services pricing, Webster and Greece home services, Irondequoit and Brighton residential — competitive dynamics are different in each. We calibrate bids and geo-targeting by ZIP, not by 'Rochester + 25 miles'.
Search + Local Services Ads together
LSA is usually your highest-ROI channel for Rochester home services. We handle Google Guaranteed setup, bidding, and dispute management, and run Search campaigns alongside to catch the leads LSA misses.
GBP + Map Pack is part of the job
We audit your Google Business Profile alongside every ads engagement — services, photos, posts, and review responses. Paid Search + a strong GBP is how you take over the Rochester Map Pack.
