Paid Online Channels We Can Manage

We have experience and expertise in managing home service PPC campaigns on various channels, including:

  • Google Ads
  • Bing
  • Facebook
  • Instagram
  • Twitter
  • LinkedIn

Local Services Ads for Home Services

Since many home service businesses are providers of services for a local clientele, you may meet the requirements to be able to run Local Services Ads, which are a special set of ads from Google that show your business is backed by their guarantee. You can learn more about LSAs in our blog post.

Paid Social Media for Home Service Providers

As we mentioned above, we can also run ads on social media networks such as Facebook and Instagram, which are great outlets for running remarketing campaigns. These types of campaigns target those who have recently visited your website and have researched your services.

Why Choose PPC for Your Home Service Company’s Marketing?

While we always recommend running PPC and SEO campaigns concurrently, PPC will often yield much faster results. PPC campaigns allow for more frequent campaign adjustments and more intricate demographic targeting than SEO campaigns. While your site is building SEO equity and achieving long-term SEO goals, it’s imperative to also run a well-budgeted PPC campaign for quick results.

When users click on your ads, they can be sent to a special landing page that details specifications about your services and other select qualities that influence users to contact you. We design these pages to incorporate tactics known to boost conversions.

Keyword Monitoring

As different types of customers click on your ads, we are able to see what they searched when they chose your listing, and based off the quality of that search, we are then able to either incorporate those terms into the campaign if they aren’t present currently, or exclude them to eliminate any further clicks for terms deemed irrelevant.

7 Quick Tips for Home Services PPC Success

  1. Craft a negative keyword list – To ensure your ads never show for search queries irrelevant to your services, which eat up your budget, be sure to make a negative keyword list that you can apply to all your campaigns.
  2. A/B test with visuals – From the photos you use to showcase your company to icons, CTAs, or even your color scheme, there are very easy ways to change up your landing pages to see which options will convert better. If you’re experiencing ads that receive a high number of clicks with low conversions, it could be time to troubleshoot. Lack of conversions could be a result of a poor or difficult user experience on the landing page. It’s important to test the design of the landing page to see how users convert. This could be a matter of changing stock photos to product photos or repositioning contact information and CTA buttons on the page.
  3. Experiment with ad types – If you are just running text ads, look into possibly running display or video ads to experiment with what works best for your audience.
  4. Check your landing pages – Did you know that if your landing page loads slowly, or improperly, it can deter potential customers? Be sure to test your landing pages thoroughly.
  5. Invest in call tracking – Having a way to get more data on the calls you receive via your ads can help tremendously in determining which campaigns are most successful.
  6. Analyze high-volume terms – While it may seem like a good strategy to put most of your budget toward high-volume keywords, it may not make the most sense. This is especially true if you have a small budget, as targeting high-volume keywords can quickly consume your budget and lead to poor results. If you notice that your budget is dwindling quickly, we recommend analyzing alternative options. Sometimes, researching and targeting long-tail keywords can be more successful and cost-effective than targeting high-volume keywords.
  7. Try different channels – While search engine PPC ads are widely successful, PPC for home services isn’t limited just to search engines. When analyzing options for PPC marketing, you should also consider channels such as other search engines (i.e. Bing) and social media (Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.).

We hope the following Q&A will help you learn more about home services PPC, our process, and more. But if not, don’t hesitate to utilize the chat box on this page.

Q: How do you track PPC success?

A: We use Google Analytics to create goals for your campaign, such as web form submissions, phone calls, chats (if you use a chatbot on your site), and more. We use this data to help formulate your ROI in our services. We’ll be able to show you where your leads are coming from and when they come in. This also allows us to adjust our bidding strategy based on lead volume. For example, if it leads consistently come in on the weekend and slow down on Monday and Tuesday, we can choose not to bid on slow days and increase the budget on days that see more engagement. Our team will consistently evaluate keywords and bid strategy to make sure that your campaign is well-optimized.

Q: Can you run different ads for my various locations?

Q: Do you set our budget?

A: We can help you determine what we think would be the best budget to utilize, based on the keyword research we do that shows the competition for your desired search terms. However, at the end of the day, how much you want to spend monthly for the campaign is entirely up to you.

Q: Can I combine services?

A: Of course. If you would like to do both PPC and SEO, or are interested in a website redesign as we run your PPC campaign, we would be happy to discuss your options on all the ways we can help grow your digital presence.
