How much should a home service business in New Chapel Hill spend on digital marketing?

It depends on what you offer and how competitive your trade is. Our SEO and ads management starts at $750 a month. For some businesses that's plenty to start generating leads. We'll tell you honestly if your budget needs adjusting.

Do I need a website before running ads?

Yes. Sending ad traffic to a Facebook page or a bad website wastes money. If you don't have a site, we can build one starting at $300 for a simple site or $1,500 for a full website. The ads work better when they land somewhere that converts.

Which is better for home services — Google Ads or Facebook?

Google Ads tends to work better for emergency and urgent services because people search when something breaks. Facebook works well for planned projects like remodeling or landscaping. Most home service businesses benefit from a mix, weighted toward where their specific customers look first.

How do I know if my ads are actually bringing in jobs?

We set up call tracking and form submission tracking from the start. You'll see which ads and keywords generated actual leads — not vanity metrics. If a campaign isn't producing real calls, we adjust or cut it.

Can you target just the New Chapel Hill and East Texas area?

Absolutely. We set geographic targeting down to specific zip codes and radius ranges. Your budget only gets spent on people close enough to actually hire you.

Where Your Customers Are Actually Looking

New Chapel Hill sits in a pocket of Smith County where neighbors still recommend plumbers and roofers over the fence. That's real, and it matters. But when somebody's water heater goes out at 9 PM on a Tuesday, they're not knocking on doors. They're on their phone, searching.

The question isn't whether you need digital marketing. It's which kind. And that depends on what you do. An HVAC company and a fencing contractor don't need the same strategy. Google Ads might make sense for emergency services — people search when something breaks. Facebook and Instagram work better for projects folks plan ahead, like landscaping or bathroom remodels. Email keeps you in front of past customers so they call you again next season instead of searching fresh.

We don't pick a channel and dump your budget into it. We look at what you actually offer, how people in East Texas search for it, and what your realistic budget can do. Then we build around that. If $750 a month in SEO and ads management is the starting point, we make that $750 count. No guessing, no bloated ad spend on keywords that bring tire-kickers. Every dollar goes toward getting jobs on your calendar.

Spending Money Where It Converts

Here's what goes wrong with most ad campaigns for home service businesses: someone sets up Google Ads, picks broad keywords like 'plumber near me,' and watches the budget drain on clicks that never turn into calls. Or they boost a Facebook post, get a bunch of likes from people three counties away, and wonder why the phone stayed quiet.

The fix isn't spending more. It's spending differently. We set up campaigns with geographic targeting tight enough to hit New Chapel Hill, Troup, Whitehouse, and the surrounding areas — the places you actually want to drive to. We write ad copy that filters out the wrong people before they click. And we make sure when someone does click, they land on a page that makes it dead simple to request a quote or call you directly. Service categories laid out clearly. Photos of finished work. A form that doesn't ask for their life story.

Tracking matters too. We set up call tracking and form tracking so you know which ads brought in real jobs — not just clicks or impressions. If something isn't working, we cut it. If something is working, we put more behind it. No six-month contracts where you're locked in hoping for results. No reports full of metrics that don't mean anything to your bottom line. You'll know what you're spending and what it's bringing back. That's the bare minimum, and it's where we start.
