How long before Google Ads start producing leads for a construction company?

Usually within the first two weeks of a campaign going live, sometimes sooner. Search ads show up for people already looking for a contractor, so there's no warm-up period like with SEO. The first month is partly about collecting data to see which keywords and ad variations perform best.

Can you target specific types of construction jobs?

Yes. We can build separate campaigns for residential, commercial, remodeling, new builds, or whatever your focus is. Each one gets its own keyword set and ad copy. If you only want commercial project inquiries, we're not spending your budget on someone looking for a deck builder.

What if I already have a Google Ads account that's not performing?

We'd audit what's there first. Sometimes the bones are fine and it just needs better keywords and tighter location settings. Other times the account structure needs to be rebuilt from scratch. Either way, you'd know what's wrong before we change anything.

Do I need a new website to run Google Ads?

Not always, but the page your ads send people to has to do its job. If your current site doesn't have a clear call to action, a way to request a bid, or any information about your services, the ads will underperform no matter how well they're managed. We can build a full website starting at $1,500 if that's the gap.

How do you handle the ad budget itself?

Your ad spend goes directly to Google through your own account. We don't mark it up or run it through a middleman. You set the monthly budget you're comfortable with, and we manage how it gets spent. The $750/mo management fee is separate from whatever you put toward clicks.

The Short Version

Google Ads can work for construction companies. But only if someone's actually managing the account — adjusting bids, cutting bad keywords, and making sure your ads show up for people looking to build something in Wood County, not people Googling 'construction paper' or 'building games.' That's the difference between a lead source and a money pit.

What Goes Wrong Without Management

Construction is a broad term online. You do residential builds, maybe commercial work, maybe specialty jobs like metal buildings or concrete. Google doesn't know that unless someone tells it. Without proper keyword targeting and negative keyword lists, your ads show up for searches that have nothing to do with hiring a contractor.

Location targeting is the other problem. Hawkins is a small town. You probably serve a wider area — maybe Mineola, Quitman, Holly Lake Ranch, parts of Smith County. But if your geo-targeting is too wide, you're paying for clicks from people three hours away who'll never hire you. Too narrow, and you're missing the folks in surrounding communities who actually need a contractor.

How We'd Set This Up

We start by figuring out what kinds of jobs you want more of. If you're trying to fill a schedule with residential remodels, that's a different campaign than if you're chasing commercial bids. The keywords change, the ad copy changes, and the landing page needs to match. Someone searching 'home addition contractor near Hawkins' is in a different headspace than someone searching 'commercial building contractor East Texas,' and the ads should reflect that.

Your landing page matters more than most people think. If someone clicks your ad and lands on a generic homepage with no clear way to request a bid, you paid for that click and got nothing from it. We build the campaign around pages that show your services, your licensing and insurance info, photos of completed work if you have them, and a simple form to request a project quote. That's what turns a click into a conversation.

We watch the data weekly. Which keywords are producing leads, which ones are wasting budget, what times of day your ads perform best, whether mobile or desktop converts better for your market. None of this is dramatic — it's just math and attention. Google Ads management runs starting at $750/mo, which covers the ongoing campaign work. The ad spend itself is separate and goes directly to Google. You control the budget, and we make sure it's pointed in the right direction.

And you get actual reporting. Not a PDF full of impressions and click-through rates that don't mean anything to you. We tell you how many leads came in, what they searched, and what it cost per inquiry. If something isn't working, we say so and adjust. If something is working, we put more behind it.
