Overview

How homeowners search for contractors

Homeowners search when something breaks or when they plan a project. The first business that appears and answers usually wins the job.

(01)Emergency versus planned demand

Emergency searches need fast visibility and a phone that gets answered. Planned projects need trust, reviews and clear pricing. We plan for both.

(02)Local Services Ads

For eligible trades, Local Services Ads put you at the top of results and charge per lead rather than per click.

(03)Map pack and reviews

Strong reviews and a complete profile move you into the map pack where most local calls come from.

(04)Seasonality

Demand rises and falls with the seasons. We shift budget and content ahead of your busy months.

Service area businesses without a storefront

If you work at customers' homes rather than a storefront, we set up your profile and service area correctly so you still rank locally.

What a booked job costs

We track the cost of each booked job, not just the cost of a lead, so you know what your marketing actually returns.

FAQ
(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.
(02)What are Local Services Ads?
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.
(03)We have no storefront, does that matter?
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.
(04)How do you handle seasonality?
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.
(05)How do you measure a booked job?
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.
(06)How important are reviews?
Decisive. For emergency work people call the highest rated option that appears, often without visiting the website at all.
