The Clicks column next to a call asset is not a count of calls. It counts every click on ads that showed with that asset. Here is how to see real taps on the number, and why calls can still read zero.
A campaign that shows nothing after 24 hours is not always broken. Ads go through review first, and a new bid strategy needs time. Here is when waiting is normal and when it is time to dig.
You added "repair" as a negative and still get repair calls. Negative keywords do not stretch the way normal keywords do: no plurals, no synonyms, and the match type decides how strict they are. Here is how they really match.
Google Ads credit is real, but you cannot ask for it and it is rarely free money. Most offers ask you to spend first, the credit runs out in about 60 days, and your ads keep running after it is gone. Here is how to read your offer.

Plenty of clicks and zero conversions has three usual causes: the tracking does not count, the searches are wrong, or the page does not convert. Check them in that order, because each one hides the next.
A sudden drop in conversions is often a drop in counting, not in customers. How to tell the two apart: tag status, primary actions, the click-date rule and the reporting delay.
Google Ads can spend up to twice your daily budget on one day. The monthly spending limit is 30.4 times the daily budget, and Google covers anything served above it. Here is the math, and how to tell normal overspend from a real mistake.
