Structure for Services (Service x City x Intent)

Capture high-intent local demand while keeping reporting simple.
Recommended structure
- Campaign: Non-brand high intent
- Ad group: service + intent theme
Example ad groups:

Beginner guardrails

- Add a strong negative list (jobs, training, DIY, free).
