Get results in days, not monthsResults in days, not monthsTwo historic downtowns sit on either side of the Intracoastal Waterway, and the people who search for them have almost nothing in common. Flagler Avenue, five walkable blocks on the barrier island, draws beachgoers deciding where to eat. Canal Street, on the mainland, serves residents and art-night crowds. Among the 30,449 people who live in the city, 22.8% of homes are held for seasonal or occasional use (the typical Florida city: 5.2%), so many of the customers are not even in town when they search.
GetPhound provides Google Ads management for New Smyrna Beach businesses on both sides of the bridge, from Flagler Avenue to Canal Street. We build campaigns by service and by shore, write a landing page for every ad group, count calls and form submissions, and walk you through the results in a written report each month. Meta Ads and Bing Ads can join the mix when your customers are better reached that way.

Customer behavior
Age and second homes define the market. Median age is 57.7 and 35.8% of residents are 65 or older (typical: 20%), while only 12.2% are under 18. Owners who spend part of the year elsewhere hire for property checks, repairs, cleaning and storm preparation, often while still in another state. Ads for those services can reach people interested in the area and not just those standing in it, and landing pages should say plainly how a job is arranged and confirmed when the owner is not in town.
Daily rhythms vary. About 19.2% of workers work from home (typical: 11.8%) and 19.1% commute 45 minutes or more (typical: 16.3%), so many customers are online during the workday and many others are away for hours. Between the island and the mainland, a business should decide whether it sells to people at the beach, in their houses, or both, because the ad text, hours and phone-answering approach are different. Separate campaigns make the difference visible in the monthly report.
Money supports larger projects. Median household income is $73,096 against $67,722 in the typical city, the median home value is $330,600 against $297,700, and median rent is $1,550, near the typical $1,504. Only 24.3% of households rent. For Google Ads in New Smyrna Beach, that means owners at this level compare credentials, references and written scope before hiring, so an ad that points to a licensed crew and a clear estimate process does part of the selling before anyone clicks.
Local trade crowding is measurable at the county level. Construction employs 1,419 residents (11.7%), and Volusia County has 259 residential remodelers (4.4 for every ten thousand residents, 1.45 times the typical county, up 42.3% since 2017) plus 54 roofing contractors (0.9 per ten thousand, 1.57 times typical, up 20%). Remodeling is growing fastest, so a firm in that field gains from a narrow promise, such as one kind of room or one kind of roof, more than from a broad one.
Location settings
Bridges and causeways link the island to the mainland, and customers describe the city by which side they are on. These areas from our research suggest how location targets and landing pages could be divided between Flagler Avenue, Canal Street and the beach districts.
| Area | Why it matters for search |
|---|---|
| Flagler Avenue | The five-block walkable street from the Intracoastal Waterway to the beach is busiest on weekends and event days, so restaurant and shop ads can raise spending on those days and say what is open now. |
| Canal Street | The mainland arts district, with Canal Street Nights on the third Thursday of each month from 5 to 8:30 pm and First Saturday Sip & Stroll from 1 to 6 pm, gives galleries and restaurants dated windows for event ads. |
| Coronado Beach | The barrier-island community that gave the city its name sits across the Coronado Beach Bridge, which makes it a separate location setting for services that cross the water. |
| North Beach | The northern stretch of sand beside Smyrna Dunes Park suits rentals, lessons and food ads written for people who are already at the beach. |
| South Beach | The southern stretch toward Canaveral National Seashore draws a different crowd from the northern end, so its ads and radius can stand apart. |
| Smyrna Dunes Park | About 1.5 miles of boardwalk at the island's northern end make the park a landmark for outfitters and food stands to name in their ads. |
| Canaveral National Seashore | This 57,000-acre federal seashore borders the southern edge, so tour and rental businesses can use its name in ad copy and location targets. |
| New Smyrna Speedway | A half-mile paved track opened in 1967 that hosts several racing series, so lodging, food and car-care ads can be scheduled around race nights. |
| Atlantic Center for the Arts | An artist residency with a global reputation brings short-stay residents who need meals, supplies and lodging, which suits narrow date-range campaigns. |
Areas named from public sources (city, county and regional organizations). Boundaries are informal; people search by the names they use.
Buyers and advertisers
Across the workforce, retail trade employs 1,734 residents (14.3%), construction 1,419 (11.7%), health care and social assistance 1,299 (10.7%), education 1,186 (9.8%), accommodation and food services 1,080 (8.9%) and professional, scientific and technical services 852 (7%). AdventHealth New Smyrna Beach on Palmetto Street (109 beds in a 2019 release, though counts vary), Volusia County Schools and a Daytona State College campus anchor demand for medical offices, tutoring and training. Search ads can match a procedure or program to a nearby address.
Tourism joined citrus and commercial fishing as a key industry after Henry Flagler's railway arrived in 1892, and the beaches, surfing and Flagler Avenue still bring visitors. The Southeast Volusia Chamber of Commerce, first chartered in 1932, is described as serving more than 550 business members. Visitors search by activity and by beach, while residents search by trade and by street, which is why pay-per-click advertising for New Smyrna Beach companies treats the two audiences as separate campaigns.
Construction is buyer and advertiser at once: builders purchase supplies and subcontracted work, while homeowners hire the same companies for the finished job. The arts and racing add smaller clusters, since the Atlantic Center for the Arts hosts artists from around the world and New Smyrna Speedway runs several series. Those visits are short, which suits lodging and meal ads confined to narrow date ranges.
Where people work
A city's workforce explains much of its local search. Here is how employed New Smyrna Beach residents are spread across industries, from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey.
| Industry | Employed residents | Share of workers |
|---|---|---|
| Retail trade | 1,734 | 14.3% |
| Construction | 1,419 | 11.7% |
| Health care and social assistance | 1,299 | 10.7% |
| Education | 1,186 | 9.8% |
| Accommodation and food services | 1,080 | 8.9% |
| Professional, scientific and technical services | 852 | 7% |
Data: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-year estimates (2018-2022), employed civilians aged 16 and over. Industries are where residents work, which may be outside the city.
Who you are bidding against
New Smyrna Beach sits in Volusia County, and the Census Bureau counts businesses by county, not by city. For each category we divide employer locations by population and compare the result with the median U.S. county: a reading of 2.0x means twice as many locations per resident as a typical county.
Crowding = employer locations per 10,000 residents divided by the median U.S. county of 20,000+ residents (1.0x is typical). Counts are establishments from County Business Patterns (2017, 2022), counted for the whole county, not a count of active advertisers.
What the plan emphasizes
Property care and repair
With 22.8% of homes held for seasonal or occasional use, campaigns for property checks, cleaning and repairs can reach people interested in the area while they are elsewhere. Landing pages explain how a job is arranged and confirmed remotely.
Flagler Avenue and Canal Street
One campaign group covers Flagler Avenue and the beaches, another covers Canal Street and the mainland. Each has its own wording, hours and budget, and the report shows which shore produced calls.
Prepared before the season
Charley in 2004, Ian in 2022 and Milton in 2024 all affected the city, including the beaches near Coronado Beach, so ad copy for storm preparation and repair can be written in advance with a clear pause switch. Budgets are set before hurricane season and adjusted with you afterward.
Remodeling and roofing
With 259 remodelers and 54 roofing contractors in Volusia County, an ad for one kind of room or one kind of roof stands out better than a general promise. Negative keywords filter out do-it-yourself searches.
Canal Street Nights and race nights
Restaurants, galleries and car-care shops near Canal Street and New Smyrna Speedway can switch on short budgets for event dates and turn them off after. The calendar is set up once and reused each month.
Reaching people before they arrive
A shop on Flagler Avenue or a tour near Canaveral National Seashore can be introduced through Meta Ads (Facebook and Instagram) to people interested in the area before they plan a trip, and Bing Ads adds a second source of search traffic. Results from all channels land in the same monthly report.
Seasonal ownership, an older population and a geography divided between Flagler Avenue and Canal Street decide what comes first. Here is how the opening campaigns would be arranged.

Bing, Microsoft Edge and Microsoft's partner network give you a second search audience.
Many names, one service
Paid ads, PPC, pay-per-click, Google Ads, Facebook ads, Instagram ads: it is one service, you pay per click, and we run it for Wake County businesses on a flat plan.
Google Ads typically goes first because people searching are ready to act; Facebook, Instagram and Bing come next. Whatever mix you choose, one account manager handles it all.
What happens, in order
We put together your campaign with the groundwork done properly: landing pages built to turn clicks into calls, keywords, ads, extensions and tracking for calls, forms and sales, geo-targeted to the places in and around New Smyrna Beach that you serve.
Once ads are running we monitor them closely and make changes, adding negative keywords to block poor-fit searches, reworking bids and improving lead quality.
We focus on the high-performing ad groups and test wider keyword sets, so the number of calls can keep growing.
You get monthly tracking and reports with your account manager, and we bring down your monthly management fee as your account grows, which lifts your return.

Questions
Management is a flat monthly fee, month to month, with no contract: $895 for one platform, $1,595 for two and $2,295 for three. Ad spend is separate and goes straight to Google, Bing or Meta, and we set it with you from your own numbers, not a rule of thumb. See the plan details on this page, or view full pricing.
Urgent needs, such as a leak or a failed air conditioner on the island, can produce calls on launch day. Planned work for a seasonal owner may need two to four weeks to settle, because decisions often wait for a spouse or a trip. We do not promise lead counts; every month the report lists calls, forms and the search terms behind them.
The budget comes from your own economics: what a customer is worth, how many leads close and how many jobs you can take. It is then divided across the calendar, with more behind Flagler Avenue weekends or storm-repair demand if those matter for you. We set the figures with you.
Google Ads suits people who are looking for something right now, such as lunch or a surfboard rental. Meta Ads (Facebook and Instagram) can reach people who are planning a trip before they search. For Flagler Avenue shops we would start with search, test Meta Ads when there is room and let the tracking decide.
We can. Each of Edgewater, Port Orange and Daytona Beach becomes its own campaign with its own targets and landing page, so the budget follows the places you serve from your base near Canal Street or the island.
Yes, through location options that include people interested in New Smyrna Beach, not only those physically in it. The ad and the landing page should say where you work, whether on Coronado Beach or near Canal Street, what you offer and how to reach a person by phone. Calls are tracked so you can see how many came from outside the area.
Yes. Beachside businesses near Coronado Beach and North Beach reach visitors who decide in minutes, so ads lead with hours, parking and what is open now. Canal Street businesses reach residents and event crowds, so ads can feature dates and a longer description. Separate campaigns make the difference measurable.
Hurricane season runs June to November, and storms such as Charley, Ian and Milton have affected the city, from Flagler Avenue to Canal Street. We would agree on storm-prep and repair messages in advance, set a clear budget and keep a way to pause quickly. Ads should state what you can really handle so callers are not disappointed.
It can be, if the ad is specific. Volusia County has 259 remodelers and the count is up 42.3% since 2017, so general ads share attention with many others. A narrow offer in a named area, such as kitchens on the island or additions on the mainland, gives searchers a reason to choose you.
ChatGPT now shows sponsored ads to some users on its free and lower-priced plans, and OpenAI offers businesses a self-serve ad manager. It is a new channel with limited targeting, by country or topic rather than keyword, and measurement is still developing, so we treat it as a test rather than a foundation. For most businesses Google Ads is still the place to start. Talk to us if you want to know whether a small test is worth it.
