Google Ads for Contractors

Contractors get hit twice on Google: clicks are expensive, and a large share of the traffic is people looking for DIY instructions or a free quote they'll never accept. The fix isn't a bigger budget — it's ruthless negatives, proper call tracking, and usually Local Services Ads sitting above the paid results.

Paying for clicks from DIY searchers who were never going to hire anyone

Missed calls during jobs turning paid leads into wasted spend

No idea which campaigns produced the jobs you actually booked

Why a custom system fits contractors

For contractors the highest-leverage Google spend is often Local Services Ads, not Search — you pay per lead instead of per click, you appear above the paid results, and bad leads can be disputed. We assess whether you qualify for LSA first, then use Search to fill the gaps rather than carrying the whole budget.

What your google ads management includes

Conversion tracking audit and rebuild — real calls and forms, not pageviews
Search structure with match types and negatives that stop wasted spend
Performance Max run with brand exclusions and asset control
Local Services Ads setup and lead-dispute management where you qualify
Geo-targeting tuned to the areas you actually serve
Flat management fee — not a percentage of your ad spend

Frequently asked questions

What are Local Services Ads and should I use them?
LSAs are the Google Guaranteed listings above search results, charged per lead rather than per click. For most home-service contractors they outperform Search on cost per booked job. They require license and background verification — we'll tell you if you qualify.
How do I stop paying for DIY searchers?
An aggressive negative keyword list — "how to", "diy", "cost calculator", "free", and hundreds of category-specific variants — reviewed continuously as new search terms appear.
I miss calls when I'm on a job. Does that matter?
Enormously. A missed call is a paid lead handed to your competitor. We track it, and often the fix is as simple as call forwarding or a booking form — sometimes a system rather than more ad spend.
