FAQ

Questions contractors ask

01 How do homeowners search for a contractor?

Emergencies go to Google and the map pack and call the first credible option. Planned work involves more research and more comparison, so the two need separate campaigns and separate budgets.

Google ads for home services where you pay per lead rather than per click, and carry a Google Guaranteed badge. They sit above normal search results and usually deserve budget before standard ads.

It changes how you set up. A service area business hides its address and relies on profile configuration, reviews and page coverage instead of proximity. It ranks differently but it ranks.

Budget moves with demand rather than sitting flat. Heating in autumn, cooling in spring, storm response when it happens. Flat monthly spend wastes money in the quiet months and runs out in the busy ones.

Call tracking connected to your booking system, so we report cost per booked job rather than cost per form fill. Most home services leads arrive by phone, so without call tracking the reporting is guesswork.

Decisive. For emergency work people call the highest rated option that appears, often without visiting the website at all.
