Search Engine Marketing
When a homeowner searches with their wallet out, paid search can put you first that same day. We build and run campaigns for independent contractors that answer to one number — the cost of a booked job — while the rollup burns budget on vanity metrics.
The first conversation is no-pressure and no obligation — you'll leave knowing where you stand.
Why paid search fits the trades
Paid search is the fastest lever in marketing — and the easiest to waste. Run with discipline, it reaches ready buyers, fills slow weeks, and stays under your control.
No one searches 'emergency AC repair' for fun. Paid search reaches people at the moment they need the work — the highest-intent traffic there is.
You are not creating demand. You are catching it at the exact right second.
SEO compounds over months; paid search turns on now. When you need the phone ringing this week, this is the lever.
The fastest way to test a market — and to fill a slow week.
Every dollar is measured and adjustable. We scale what books jobs and cut what does not — no long, blind commitments.
20+ years running paid campaigns, pointed at your ROI, not our convenience.
Independents vs. the rollup playbook
PE-backed shops outspend the market and answer to a portfolio. We run lean campaigns that answer to you — and put to work, that focus wins.
What we actually run
We do not run every channel for everyone. We pick the mix that books jobs for your trade, then measure each one honestly.
First in line when they search to buy.
Text ads on the searches that signal a ready homeowner — tuned to real jobs, not broad, expensive keywords that drain spend.
The Google-Guaranteed badge at the very top.
For home services, Local Services Ads put you above everything — pay per lead, not per click, with Google’s trust badge.
Stay in front of the ones who did not call yet.
Most visitors do not book on the first visit. Retargeting keeps your name in front of them until they are ready.
Demand generation where they scroll.
Not every job starts with a search. Paid social puts seasonal offers and your best work in front of the right local homeowners.
The parts most agencies skip
If you cannot see which click booked a job, you are flying blind. We wire tracking up first, before a dollar runs.
The wrong searches drain a budget fast. Negative keywords and tight targeting keep spend on real buyers.
A great ad to a weak page loses the job. We point traffic at pages built to convert, not your homepage.
How it works
The same disciplined loop behind 20+ years of paid campaigns — and it ends with the only outcome that counts: you win the job.
We learn your goals, margins, and target jobs, then design a campaign built around the work you actually want.
We build the campaigns, wire up tracking, and launch — with the budget aimed at booked calls from day one.
We watch performance against competitors and the market, cut what wastes spend, and scale what wins.
Why owners trust us
We have seen the same ad agencies you have — quick to spend, slow to show a booked job. We run paid search like an in-house team that has to answer for results, because that is exactly what we are for you.
The first paid ads review is no-pressure and no obligation. We'll read your current spend honestly and tell you where it is working — whether or not you ever hire us.
We know the seasons, the call volume, and how a homeowner decides who to call — because we cut our teeth in home services.
We measure booked calls and cost per job, not impressions — and we cut our own campaigns when they do not earn.
Real-time reporting you can actually read, tied to the number that matters to you.
We run lean, we cut waste fast, and everything we build points at your bottom line.
Let's get started
Send us your current campaigns — or start fresh — and we'll show you where the budget is working, where it is leaking, and the fastest path to more booked jobs. No pressure, no obligation, and we'll tell you straight.
