Get results in days, not monthsResults in days, not monthsPicture a Saturday afternoon after a youth game: a parent in East Highlands Ranch needs a dentist who speaks Spanish, a plumber for a leak and a cake for tomorrow, and all three searches happen on one phone. In a city of 56,789 where 39.2% of residents speak Spanish at home, 27.6% are under 18 and only 5.7% of workers work from home, that scene repeats thousands of times a week. An ad that is in the right language, on the right street, with a number to call, is what wins the moment.
In practice, GetPhound provides Google Ads management for Highland businesses, from Highland Town Center to East Highlands Ranch, for owners who are busy on the job: account structure, ad text in English or Spanish, a landing page for each campaign, call and form tracking, and a monthly report from one account manager. We add Meta Ads (Facebook and Instagram) or Bing Ads when they help. Payments run monthly, with no setup fee and no long contract.
Who is out there
City Ad Competition Index
17/ 100
Number 292 of 322 California cities
Built from ACS 2018-2022, Census population estimates and County Business Patterns 2022. Each bar sets Highland against the rest of the guide (322 California cities in all). See the methodology for the formula; refreshed October 2026.
Behind the screen
Language shapes the ad. Spanish is spoken at home by 39.2% of residents, nearly double the 20.5% of the typical city in this set, and 23.1% were born abroad. A parent who searches in Spanish expects the headline, the landing page and the phone greeting to match, so Spanish ad groups need their own keywords, a native writer and a number that a Spanish speaker answers. Machine translation wastes the click.
The city is young and family-centered. The median age is 33, children are 27.6% of residents and only 10.9% are 65 or older. Questions about school, sports, orthodontics and birthday venues dominate weekday searches, and parents often type them between pickups. Ad text that names the service, the neighborhood and a booking step suits that pace better than a long explanation.
Budgets are careful. Median household income is $72,222, the median home is valued at $418,400 and rent is $1,343, while 15.9% of residents live below the poverty line and 21.3% of adults hold a bachelor's degree. Customers compare, so landing pages that explain what a job includes and how payment works make a click feel safe, without any need to print a price in the ad.
Most work happens away from home. With 5.7% working from home and 20.5% commuting 45 minutes or more, daytime searching peaks at lunch and after five. The 2023 estimate of 56,202 is 1.4% below the 2020 base, so the main opportunity is in capturing a larger share of current households and in regular, repeatable services such as dental recalls, tutoring and seasonal home care.
How campaigns are built
For the 39.2% who speak it
Services your team delivers in Spanish get their own ad text, keywords and landing page, with a tracked number answered in Spanish, which suits a market where 39.2% of residents speak the language at home. We review search terms every month and add negatives for phrases that bring the wrong traffic.
For a mostly out-of-home workforce
With only 5.7% of workers at home, bids and call extensions concentrate on lunch and the hours after work. The report shows missed calls by hour, so staffing and bidding can line up instead of leaving callers on hold.
For careful budgets
Each page states what a job includes, what changes the cost and what payment options exist, using ranges you approve. With 15.9% of residents below the poverty line, that clarity helps a click turn into a call.
Base Line, Boulder, Greenspot
Highland Town Center and the Base Line corridor, Boulder Avenue and Greenspot Road each get a campaign group and tracked number, so you can see which road produces calls. When the Boulder Avenue improvements or the Greenspot Village plan change traffic, the groups can change too.
Near Mediterra and East Highlands Ranch
Roofers, landscapers, flooring crews and electricians can aim ads at newer streets such as Mediterra at East Highlands and the East Highlands Ranch community. With 1,679 residents working in construction, trade searches are common, so license and project details belong on the landing page.
27.6% are under 18
Tutors, uniform shops, activity providers and dentists plan around back-to-school and sports seasons, with the Sam J. Racadio Library and Environmental Learning Center as a natural landmark. Two districts, Redlands Unified and San Bernardino City Unified, serve the city, so ad text and pages should say which families you reach.
The six pieces below match how Highland lives and shops, from Base Line storefronts to East Highlands Ranch driveways. Starting with one campaign for your most valuable service, then adding the next once the call log is clear, keeps the first test small.
Buyers and rivals
Among the 56,789 residents, retail trade employs 3,333 workers (13.2%), health care and social assistance 3,294 (13%), transportation and warehousing 2,544 (10%), education 2,367 (9.3%), construction 1,679 (6.6%) and manufacturing 1,645 (6.5%). Customers in those fields keep regular hours, which favors schedules and call buttons, and shift workers tend to book repairs and services around their work day.
Institutions shape the map. The Redlands Unified School District and the San Bernardino City Unified School District serve the city, with City Creek as the boundary. The Yaamava' Resort & Casino carries Highland in its mailing address at 777 San Manuel Boulevard although Wikipedia says it lies within San Bernardino city limits, so advertisers near it should set locations by radius, not by city name, and never imply any affiliation.
San Bernardino County has 6,706 advertising-heavy businesses, roughly 30.5 for every ten thousand residents, and 85% are small. County totals include 586 general auto repair shops, 555 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors, 484 electrical contractors and 151 roofing contractors, the last up 36%. These are county figures, not Highland's own, and they argue for narrow targeting, strong landing pages and tight negative-keyword lists.
Who the customers are
Work shapes when people have time to call and what they can spend. These six sectors employ more Highland residents than any others.
| Sector | Share of working residents |
|---|---|
| Retail trade | 13.2% |
| Health care and social assistance | 13% |
| Transportation and warehousing | 10% |
| Education | 9.3% |
| Construction | 6.6% |
| Manufacturing | 6.5% |
Data: ACS 5-year estimates for 2018-2022 (civilians 16 and older). A resident's job can sit beyond the city line, so this describes people, not employers inside the city.
Who you bid against
Highland is in San Bernardino County, and county is the smallest area for which the Census publishes these counts. Read 1.0x as the median U.S. county and 2.0x as double that density.
Data: County Business Patterns 2017 and 2022, employer establishments, whole-county counts. Density compares each county's locations per 10,000 residents with the median U.S. county's rate. It measures businesses, not who is buying ads.
Where ads should run
Across 18.571 square miles split into Highland, East Highland and West Highland, one radius rarely fits, and PPC in Highland works best when it follows roads. These nine places, from Highland Town Center to Plunge Creek, come from Wikipedia, city planning documents and trail maps, and each hints at a location setting or an ad line.
| Area | Targeting angle |
|---|---|
| Highland Town Center | The Base Line corridor, where City Hall stands at 27215 Base Line and retail growth is planned, supports a tight radius for restaurants, salons and service shops. |
| Boulder Avenue | A city project covers Boulder Avenue from south of Greenspot Road to the San Manuel Village entrance, so a separate location group helps track how construction affects calls. |
| Greenspot Road | The Greenspot Village and Marketplace plan covers a 104 acre site near State Route 210, a place to watch for new storefronts and new customers. |
| East Highlands Ranch | A master-planned community with private recreation facilities, where an ad group named for the community feels local and avoids wasted impressions elsewhere. |
| Highland Historic District | Palm Avenue's original townsite and packing houses give food, gift and event advertisers a heritage hook for short, dated campaigns. |
| 3rd and 5th Street corridor | Planned as the main employment center with access to the 210 and Interstate 10, a spot where business-to-business and staffing ads may eventually fit. |
| Sam J. Racadio Library and Environmental Learning Center | A LEED gold building with a rooftop garden, a family landmark for tutoring, youth-program and weekend-activity ads. |
| Plunge Creek | A 2.3 mile foothill trail through the edge of the San Bernardino National Forest gives outdoor, bike and pet advertisers a clear reference point. |
| Mediterra at East Highlands | An approved project listed beside the Greenspot and Harmony plans, which means new homes and a steady stream of new households needing services. |
Area names are informal and come from municipal, county and regional publications.

From owners in Highland
Management is billed as one flat monthly fee: $895 covers one platform, $1,595 covers two, and $2,295 covers three, with no contract to sign. The ad budget is separate. It is paid to the platform and sized from your own economics. See the plan cards above, or compare plans on the pricing page.
Urgent services such as a tow, a lockout or a leak near Base Line can produce calls on the first day, because the searcher is ready to phone. Planned work such as dental treatment or a remodel usually needs two to four weeks before a pattern is clear. We do not promise results, and each report shows what really happened.
Start with your own numbers: what a customer is worth, how often a call becomes a sale and how many jobs you can take. You set the ceiling, and we distribute it among roads and neighborhoods such as Base Line and East Highlands Ranch, then adjust as the call log fills.
Search ads catch parents who are already looking, while Meta Ads (Facebook and Instagram) help announce a new class, party venue or season to families nearby. Many owners begin with search, add Meta when enrollment opens and send both to one landing page.
As separate campaigns, yes, whether the shop is on Boulder Avenue or Greenspot Road. Redlands is 4 miles away, Loma Linda 7 and San Bernardino 8, and customers cross between them for work and care. Separate groups show which neighbor pays off.
They are, provided someone on the team speaks Spanish and answers the phone. With 39.2% of residents speaking it at home, the audience is large. We write the ads and landing page, your bilingual teammate approves them, and the report tracks that group separately.
By radius, not by city name. Because the Yaamava' Resort & Casino carries Highland in its mailing address but sits inside San Bernardino city limits, a city-name setting could miss or include the wrong streets. We check the map before launch and never suggest a link to the resort.
It may, over time. The city anticipates more retail along Greenspot Road and new employers along 3rd and 5th Streets, which would bring more shoppers and workers. We cannot say when anything opens, so we set up flexible location groups that can expand when it does.
Every campaign, from Highland Town Center to Greenspot Road, gets its own tracking number and form source, and we encourage a short question at the counter, such as how a customer heard about you. The monthly report lists keywords, ads and hours behind each conversion, and spending follows what works.
OpenAI has begun showing sponsored, labeled placements to some users on its free and lower-priced plans, bought through its own self-serve ad manager. Targeting is broad and the reporting tools are young, so we would treat it as a small experiment. Google Ads is still where most local plans begin; ask us to talk through whether a test fits.
