Home services PPC and
lead generation that books jobs.
Home services marketing lives and dies on qualified leads: a call or form from someone inside your service area with a real job to book. I manage paid advertising for service businesses — search campaigns for HVAC, plumbing, roofing, electrical, remodeling, moving and similar trades — built on call tracking and conversion tracking that shows what each dollar of ad spend actually returned. My documented case studies are from other industries, and I will not pretend otherwise; the method below is what transfers.
- Ad spend keeps rising but the phone does not ring more
- Leads come from outside the service area, or for jobs you do not take
- Emergency and after-hours searches are missed because campaigns and coverage do not line up
- Calls are not tracked, so nobody can say which campaigns produce jobs
- Form fills are counted as leads even when they are spam or a wrong number
- The agency reports clicks and impressions, not booked work
What the work involves
What home services PPC management covers.
The economics of a qualified lead
Cost per lead only means something next to job value. A $90 lead for a $250 service call and a $90 lead for a $9,000 roof replacement are different businesses. Targets are set per trade and service, so optimisation pushes toward leads worth taking — not the cheapest form fill.
Campaign structure by trade and intent
HVAC, plumbing, roofing, electrical, remodeling and moving each have different search behaviour: emergency repairs, planned replacements and renovation projects are separate intents. Campaigns are separated accordingly, with service-area targeting and ad schedules matched to when you can actually answer the phone.
Call tracking
Calls tracked per campaign, ad group and keyword, with missed calls flagged. A call counts as a conversion only when it was answered and worth having — so bidding learns from jobs, not from ringing phones.
Conversion tracking that survives contact with reality
Forms, calls and chat events validated end to end — spam filtered, duplicates removed, GA4 and Google Ads measuring the same definition of a lead. Broken tracking is fixed before spend scales.
Landing pages that match the ad
The page behind each ad is reviewed for message match, click-to-call placement above the fold, load speed and a short form. Emergency searches go to a page built for calling, not a generic homepage.
Reporting tied to jobs, not clicks
Spend, leads and cost per qualified lead in plain language — which trades, services and searches produced work, what changed, and what happens next month.
You can see what each dollar of ad spend returned in leads you would actually take a job from — and the reasoning behind every change.
This work usually sits alongside Google Ads management for search demand, call and form conversion tracking, week-to-week PPC management, GA4 and attribution reporting, HVAC Google Ads and lead generation, plumbing Google Ads and lead generation and roofing Google Ads and lead generation.
Who it is for
A good fit if this sounds like you.
- HVAC, plumbing, roofing, electrical, remodeling and moving businesses that live on inbound calls and forms
- Owner-operated contractors tired of agencies reporting clicks instead of jobs
- Service businesses getting leads from outside their service area
- Owners who cannot say which campaigns produced the phone calls

FAQ
Common questions.
- What does home services PPC management include?
- Account audit, campaign structure by trade and service, service-area and schedule targeting, search-term control, call and form tracking, landing-page review and monthly reporting tied to qualified leads.
- Do you have home services clients I can see?
- No — the documented case studies on this site are from other industries, and I will not claim otherwise. What transfers is the method: qualified-lead economics, call tracking and validating every lead against your real jobs.
- How much should a lead cost for a plumber or HVAC company?
- It depends on the trade, the service and the job value behind it. A lead that looks expensive for a repair can be cheap for a replacement or remodel. I set cost-per-lead targets per service and optimise against those, rather than chasing the cheapest form fill.
- Do you track phone calls?
- Yes. Calls are tracked per campaign and keyword, missed calls are flagged, and a call only counts as a conversion when it was answered and worth having.
- Should I run Google Ads or Facebook ads for my home services business?
- Google Ads captures people searching right now — especially emergency and replacement work. Meta suits planned projects like remodeling, where visuals and offers do the persuading. Many businesses run both; the split depends on your services and budget.
- Do you build the landing pages?
- I review your pages and write specific changes: message match, click-to-call placement, speed and form length. Implementation can go through your web team or whoever maintains the site.
- Can you guarantee a cost per lead?
- No. Nobody can honestly guarantee rankings, lead volume or a cost per lead. I commit to the work, the reasoning behind it and transparent reporting.
- How much does it cost?
- Paid advertising plans start at $399 per month, with ad spend paid directly to Google or Meta. The first 30-minute account and website review is free; a deeper paid audit starts at $299.
