The money did not leak from the pipes.It leaked between the job site and QuickBooks.
A Houston plumbing contractor called me after completing a $220,000 commercial plumbing project.
Expected profit: $44,000
Cash remaining after project costs: $11,200
Estimated profit gap: $32,800
The plumbers did not install bad fittings.
The materials were not defective.
The loss happened because field decisions were never connected to job costing.
Let's see where the $32,800 gap came from
Unassigned material purchases $8,400
Untracked overtime and delay costs $18,800
Verbal change order $5,600
The work was done.
The cost was incurred.
But the revenue was never recorded.

Your Google Ads budget doesn’t disappear. It leaks.
And most business owners don’t notice where.
You can have a good offer, a decent budget, and plenty of traffic and still lose money because:
→ Your ads trigger the wrong searches
→ Your targeting wastes budget
→ Your conversion tracking gives you the wrong data
→ Your landing page turns potential customers away
The answer isn’t always increase the budget.
Sometimes, you need to find the leak first.
Fix the waste. Then scale what actually brings customers.
