We Take a Different Approach Than Most PPC Agencies

We exclusively serve home service contractors. This specialized focus means we understand the seasonal fluctuations, emergency service demands, and the specific search behavior of homeowners looking for your services. While other agencies take a "set and forget" approach to PPC, we actively optimize your campaigns every week.

We maintain market exclusivity, one client per trade per service area. When we take on your market, our entire team is focused on making you the dominant advertiser in that area. We're not running the same campaigns for your competitor across town.

Our most successful partnerships share the same characteristics: open communication, a long-term growth mindset, and a business that's ready to handle the lead volume we generate.

We Are a Good Fit If You Are:

  • Committed to excellent customer service
  • Focused on sustainable, long-term growth
  • Aware that proper optimization takes time
  • Ready to handle increased lead volume
  • Looking to reduce cost per lead consistently

We Are Not a Good Fit If You Are:

  • Expecting instant results without testing
  • Unable to invest $3,000+ monthly
  • Not set up to respond to leads quickly
  • Satisfied with current lead volume
  • Short-term focused operations

After working with numerous home service clients, we've identified the patterns that predict success. The financial requirements reflect what it actually takes to run effective PPC campaigns in competitive markets, not a minimum we set arbitrarily.

Monthly ad spend typically ranges $2,500–6,500 depending on market and services, plus our management fee. Clients who commit to this level of investment consistently see 900%+ ROI by month 12.

We maintain market exclusivity by accepting only one home service company per industry per service area. Check your market availability by calling 833-695-1214.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight Answers About PPC Advertising

For most contractors, we recommend starting with $1,500–4,000 monthly for PPC ad spend. This generates enough data to optimize campaigns while delivering consistent leads. Your ideal budget depends on your market's competition, service area size, and growth goals. During peak seasons, successful clients often scale to $6,500+ monthly to maximize opportunity. Budget and management fee are separate. We'll give you a specific recommendation during your free market analysis.

Unlike SEO, PPC delivers results fast. Most clients receive their first leads within 2–3 weeks of campaign launch, before the first month is up. By month 3, we've gathered enough data to optimize campaigns for peak efficiency, dropping cost per lead and increasing quality. Full campaign optimization and predictable lead flow typically land by months 6–12. PPC is the fastest way to generate qualified leads; it just takes a few months to dial in for maximum ROI.

Three things set us apart. First, we work exclusively with home service contractors. We understand your seasonality, your emergency call patterns, and what converts a homeowner searching "HVAC repair near me" into a booked job. Second, we maintain market exclusivity: one client per trade per service area, so we're never running the same campaigns for your competitor. Third, we track every lead back to booked revenue, not just clicks, so you always know your real ROI, not vanity metrics.

We can't guarantee specific cost-per-lead numbers or lead volumes, bid costs, competition, and market conditions are always dynamic. What we do guarantee is our process: daily campaign monitoring, continuous optimization, full transparent reporting, and a dedicated team that's accountable to your results. The reason most of our clients expand their PPC budgets over time isn't because we made promises. It's because the returns are consistent and measurable.

Seasonal management is built into our PPC strategy from day one, not something we scramble for when business slows down. We proactively adjust budgets and bids based on weather forecasts, seasonal demand cycles, and your capacity. During peak seasons we scale campaigns to capture maximum demand. During shoulder seasons we shift focus to maintenance plans, tune-ups, and early-bird campaigns to keep your technicians busy and your revenue steady year-round.
