How much should a construction company spend on Google Ads per month?

It depends on your service area and competition. For a company near Winona targeting Smith County and surrounding areas, the ad spend itself can be relatively modest because search volume is lower than a metro area. We'll recommend a budget based on the keywords that matter for your specific services.

Can you target ads to just East Texas and not the whole state?

Yes, and you should. We set geographic targeting down to specific zip codes and radius ranges. If you only work within 30 miles of Winona, there's no reason to pay for clicks from Houston. We match the targeting to your actual service area.

What if I already ran Google Ads and it didn't work?

That's common, and it usually comes down to poor keyword selection or no conversion tracking. If you were bidding on broad terms like "construction" with no location filters, you were paying for a lot of irrelevant traffic. We'd audit what was set up before and rebuild it properly.

Do I need a website before starting ads?

You need a landing page at minimum — somewhere to send the traffic that has your services, contact info, and a way to request a bid. If you don't have that, we can build one. A full website with your project portfolio starts at $1,500 and takes about a week.

How quickly will I see leads from Google Ads?

Ads can start showing within a day or two of launch. Whether those clicks turn into leads depends on your market and how well the landing page converts. Most campaigns need two to three weeks of data before we can start making informed adjustments.

The Problem with Running Your Own Ads

Google makes it very easy to spend money. They'll walk you through setup, suggest keywords, and congratulate you when your campaign goes live. What they won't do is tell you that half those keywords are worthless for a construction company in Smith County, or that your ads are showing up for people searching for jobs instead of contractors. That's where the budget goes.

What Managed Ads Actually Look Like

We build campaigns around the work you actually want. Residential remodels, commercial buildouts, land clearing, concrete — whatever your crew handles. The ad copy matches the service, the landing page matches the ad copy, and the targeting matches the geography. Winona sits in a pocket of East Texas where the search volume is modest but the intent is high. Someone searching for a contractor out near Winona or along those county road corridors probably has a project, not a question. That's the kind of click worth paying for.

You only pay Google when someone clicks. You pay us to make sure those clicks are worth something. There's no long-term contract involved — the work either produces leads or it doesn't.

How This Works for a Construction Company

Construction is one of those industries where a single lead can be worth thousands. But it's also one where the wrong lead wastes half a day. Somebody calls about a deck, you drive out, give an estimate, and never hear back. Multiply that by ten and you've lost a week. Good ad targeting cuts that down.

We set up campaigns that filter by location, by search term, and by intent. If you do commercial work, we're not bidding on "handyman near me." If you're licensed and bonded, that goes in the ad — because it matters to the people clicking. Your project portfolio, your services, your insurance info — all of it should be on the page someone lands on after they click. If it's not, that's a wasted click you just paid for.

We also track what happens after the click. Did they fill out a bid request? Did they call? Did they bounce in four seconds? That data tells us what to adjust. Maybe one keyword pulls in leads at $12 each and another costs $80. We kill the $80 one. This isn't complicated in theory, but it requires someone actually watching the account — weekly, not quarterly.

Our ads management runs starting at $750/mo, and that includes the ongoing adjustments, reporting, and keyword research. The ad spend itself goes directly to Google — we don't mark it up. If you don't have a site that's ready to receive that traffic, we can handle that too, but the ads side stands on its own.
