How We Help You Get More Clicks and Customers

First and foremost, you’ll want to determine the overall budget for your PPC campaigns. In doing so, be sure to consider your competitors and top keywords you plan on running. Keep in mind that you will be paying for every click, so it’s important to set a realistic budget to keep from over- or underspending.

Every paid platform varies, but they typically give you the ability to set a daily budget. Choose this carefully, as many of these platforms may go over or under the daily spend budget. You can get more out of your budget too by limiting the times your ads are shown. For instance, if you’re serving residents, we will consider running ads outside of work hours when homeowners aren’t at work. But for B2B campaigns, we will test running during the typical 9-5.

Our Approach to Determining PPC Keywords

If you want your campaigns to perform, make sure to use the most relevant keywords associated with your construction business. Take a moment to put yourself in the shoes of your ideal audience. What terms are they going to search to find a construction company that offers what you do? Given a new home builder’s audience will differ from a commercial construction firm’s, you need to ensure you have this as part of your strategy. Some possible examples can include:

General

  • “construction company near me”
  • “construction services [city or state]”
  • “commercial construction contractors”

Residential construction company

  • Home builders near me
  • Home remodeling company [city or state]
  • New home builders
  • New construction homes
  • Home builder contractor

Commercial construction company

  • Commercial construction companies near [city]
  • Commercial construction
  • Industrial construction services
  • School and education construction company

We will use our knowledge of your industry and keyword research to determine which keywords you should target. We also make sure to exclude any terms that are irrelevant to your business that you do not want your ads to show for.

How We Narrow Down Your Audience

Knowing your ideal audience is critical to the success of your PPC campaigns. Does your target customer want to build a house in your area? Is there a specific building style you offer? Are they interested in commercial real estate? Narrowing down your audience as much as you can will help to increase the amount of quality searches and leads your business generates.

PPC provides a number of tools that can be implemented to refine the targeting for each campaign. Targeting can be modified by geographic location, user interest and intent, age, income level, language, and more.

Our Process to Captivating Landing Pages

Once you’ve determined your budget, keywords, and target audience, we can create content that will drive the users home. Make sure to design unique landing pages specific to your construction business, fresh, relevant ad copy, and engaging calls to action (CTAs).

Pro-Tip: We Don’t Just Send People to Your Homepage

A classic mistake that we see from customers running their own campaigns is that they send all ads they create to the homepage. It’s critical to create a structure where you group keywords and ads with the campaign and send people to super relevant pages.

Understand Your Paid Channel Options

With pay-per-click marketing, advertisers have the ability to reach thousands of customers on various channels. Here are the top platforms we recommend construction companies utilize

Answers to Additional Questions You May Have

We know there is a lot to consider, to help, here are some FAQs:

Do I get to set my own budget?

Yes! How much you wish to dedicate toward your campaign is completely up to you. We will, however, consult with you depending on the results we see about whether we believe it is a good idea to possibly increase spend down the line or pull back on certain ad groups.

Phone calls convert best for me, are there ads for that?

Yes. On Google Ads, you will have the ability to create “call only” ads that will directly lead customers to contact your business via phone, rather than going to a landing page with a form for contact information.

Can I advertise on both search engines and social media?

Absolutely. For construction companies, not only would normal pay-per-click advertising on search engines be a great way to produce leads, but places where you can visually show off your work (such as Facebook or Instagram) could be a great way to expand your reach!

What are some of the ways you manage campaigns?

As we mentioned earlier, we have a range of typical tasks we implement to ensure your campaign is running smoothly and at its best. We keep an eye on the search queries that produce clicks, add negative keywords, bid up top-performing terms, and make sure your budget is monitored every month.

How will you keep in contact with the progress of my campaign?

Not only can you email us at any time with questions or concerns about your campaign’s progress, but we will always send you a monthly summary of your campaign that breaks down key metrics such as form submissions, phone calls, and more.

Can I package PPC in with your other services?

Yes, we would be happy to help your business grow through not only paid marketing but also our other service offerings such as construction SEO services, website redesign, and more.
