PPC management for a home service business means running paid search and paid social so that the money produces booked jobs rather than clicks. For contractors, the bulk of it is Google Ads on high-intent searches — someone typing an emergency or a specific service is worth far more than someone browsing — supported by Meta ads for the services people do not search for urgently. The difference between an account that works and one that quietly burns money is usually not the bidding strategy. It is negative keywords, call tracking, and a landing page that matches what the ad promised.
Where contractor ad budgets leak
The most common leak is broad match with no negative keyword list. You bid on air conditioning repair and pay for clicks on how to repair an air conditioner yourself, air conditioning repair jobs, and air conditioning repair courses. None of those people will ever hire you.
The second is sending every ad to the homepage. Someone who clicked an ad about water heater replacement lands on a page about your company and has to go find what they came for. Most of them leave instead.
The third is measuring the wrong thing. Conversions counted as page views or button clicks tell you nothing. Without call tracking tied to the ad that produced the call, you cannot tell which half of the budget is working, and so you keep paying for both.
The fourth is running ads at hours nobody answers the phone. Paid clicks that ring out at eight in the evening are the most expensive missed calls in the business.
How we manage an account
- 1
Audit what is already running
Search terms report, wasted spend, conversion tracking accuracy, landing page match. The point is to find out where the money is currently going before changing anything.
- 2
Rebuild around intent
Campaigns structured by the job being searched for, tight keyword groups, and a negative keyword list built from the actual search terms rather than guessed at up front.
- 3
Match the landing page to the ad
The page a click lands on answers the exact search. Where the site does not have that page yet, building it is part of the work.
- 4
Track calls properly
Call tracking numbers, call recording where legal and appropriate, and conversion data flowing back into the account so bidding optimizes toward booked work.
- 5
Set schedules and geography honestly
Ads run where you actually work and when someone can actually answer. Coverage outside either is money spent on frustration.
- 6
Keep reviewing the search terms
This is the unglamorous work that separates accounts that improve from accounts that plateau. There is no way to automate it away entirely.
What we manage
Google Search campaigns
The highest-intent traffic available. Someone searching for your service right now is closer to hiring than any other audience.
Local Services Ads guidance
Where they are available for your trade, these charge per lead rather than per click and are worth comparing against search ads rather than ignoring.
Meta ads
For services people do not search for urgently — maintenance plans, upgrades, seasonal offers. Detailed on our Facebook ads page.
Remarketing
Reaching people who visited a service page and did not call. They already know who you are, which generally makes them less expensive to convert than a first-time visitor.
Conversion tracking
Calls, forms and bookings tracked back to the campaign that produced them, so the reporting means something.
Budget pacing
Spend matched to your capacity. There is no point generating more calls than your crews can service.
What we will not do with your budget
We will not report clicks and impressions as results. The only numbers that matter are qualified calls, booked jobs and what each one cost.
We will not report on a channel selectively. If one campaign is carrying the account and another is wasting money, both appear in the reporting.
We will not promise a cost per lead before seeing your market. Anyone quoting a number for a trade and territory they have not looked at is guessing.
We will not keep spending into a channel that is not working because it is in the contract. If paid search is not the right use of your budget, we would rather tell you.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I budget for paid search?
It depends on your trade and how competitive your area is — clicks in HVAC and plumbing are expensive because the jobs are valuable. Rather than quote a figure that would be a guess, we look at your service area and current keyword costs before recommending anything.
Should I let Google use broad match?
Only with a negative keyword list that is actually maintained, and only once conversion tracking is reliable enough to steer it. Broad match with neither is the fastest way to spend a month's budget on searches from people who will never hire you.
How is this different from Local Services Ads?
Local Services Ads are the Google Guaranteed listings above the regular ads, charged per lead rather than per click. Where they are available for your trade they often produce cheaper leads, so we help you get set up and compare the two honestly instead of defaulting to whichever we manage.
How do you know which calls came from ads?
Call tracking numbers tied to each campaign, with the conversion data fed back into the account so bidding optimizes toward booked work rather than clicks. Without that you cannot tell which half of the budget is working.
Why do negative keywords matter so much?
Because without them you pay for searches that will never hire you — people looking for DIY instructions, job listings or training courses. Reading the actual search terms report regularly, and adding to the negative list from it, is the unglamorous work that keeps an account improving.
Should I run ads or invest in SEO?
Ads if you need calls this month. SEO so that a year from now you are not renting all of your traffic. Most home service businesses should be doing both, weighted toward whichever gap is more urgent.
