Advertising for Home-Service Contractors

Ads That Book Jobs, Not Just Clicks.

Google Local Services Ads, Google Ads, and Meta Ads — run together so your budget goes where it books the most jobs. Pay for qualified leads, not vanity metrics.

Month-to-month. No long-term contracts. Serving East Tennessee & Tampa, FL.

Most contractor ad budgets leak money.

Boosted posts, broad keywords, and no call tracking burn cash on clicks that never become customers. Without the right mix — and the systems to capture and follow up on every lead — you're paying to send buyers to competitors who convert them. Ad spend without a plan is just donation to Google and Meta.

What You Get

The right ad mix, managed to booked jobs

We run and optimize the channels that produce high-intent leads for contractors — and connect them to the follow-up systems that close.

Google Local Services Ads

Pay-per-lead ads with the Google Guaranteed badge that sit above everything else — the most cost-efficient lead source for most trades.

Google Search Ads

High-intent keyword campaigns that capture buyers actively searching for your service — tightly targeted, never wasted on tire-kickers.

Meta Ads

Facebook and Instagram campaigns that build demand and retarget the homeowners most likely to book your services.

Call Tracking & Recording

Every call logged and recorded so you know exactly which ad, keyword, and campaign made the phone ring.

Landing Pages That Convert

High-converting campaign pages built in — so the clicks you pay for actually turn into booked calls.

Lead Capture & Follow-Up

Ads feed straight into missed-call text-back, follow-up automation, and your unified inbox so no paid lead is wasted.

Questions, Answered

Frequently Asked Questions

Should contractors use Google Local Services Ads or Google Ads?

Most contractors should start with Google Local Services Ads (LSAs) — they appear above all other results, are pay-per-lead instead of pay-per-click, and carry the Google Guaranteed badge. Google Ads then adds reach for competitive keywords and services LSAs don't cover. We run them together so your budget goes where it books the most jobs.

How much should a contractor spend on ads?

It depends on your trade, market, and goals, but most East Tennessee contractors start in the range of a few thousand dollars a month in ad spend, separate from management. The key isn't the number — it's tracking cost per booked job and shifting budget to what actually produces calls, which is exactly how we manage it.

How do I know my ads are actually working?

Call tracking and recording. We tie every call to the specific ad, keyword, and campaign that produced it, and report on cost per booked lead rather than clicks or impressions. You see exactly what's working in real time on a live dashboard — no guessing, no vanity metrics.
