Service № v — Demand Capture

They’re searching for you right now.

Somewhere in your service area, a homeowner just typed "roof cleaning near me" into Google. Google Ads decides whether they find you or your competitor. Meta creates demand — Google captures it. A complete acquisition system runs both.

The Mechanism № i

Why Google Ads completes the system.

Meta reaches homeowners who didn’t know they needed you. Google catches the ones who already do — and those are the hottest leads that exist.

i

Intent is everything

A person searching "emergency plumber Camarillo" isn’t browsing — they have a problem, today, with a budget. Search traffic converts at multiples of any other channel because the customer arrives already sold on the service. The only question is who gets the call.

ii

The moment of need

Homeowners don’t plan when their AC dies or their pipe bursts. Google is where urgency lives — and urgent jobs close faster, haggle less, and pay full price. Being present at that moment is worth more than a hundred impressions the week before.

iii

Local Service Ads advantage

Google’s local formats put you above the regular results with reviews and credentials attached — and for many trades you pay per lead, not per click. Most local contractors set these up wrong or not at all. That’s the gap we walk through.

iv

Negative keywords save fortunes

Half of a badly-run search budget dies on searches like "DIY pressure washing" and "pressure washer rental." What you exclude matters as much as what you target. Discipline here is invisible — until you compare cost per lead with an account that has none.

v

Search + social compound

A homeowner sees your Meta ad Tuesday, searches your name Thursday. If you’re not there when they search, the ad that created the demand just fed a competitor. Running both channels seals the leak between interest and action.

vi

Every dollar is measured

Search spend maps cleanly: keyword → click → call → booked job. Wired into Sonar, you see which searches produce revenue, not just clicks — and budget flows to what books jobs.

The Work № ii

What we actually build for you.

01
Keyword & Market Mapping
The exact searches your customers make in your service area — mapped, prioritized by intent, and matched against what competitors bid on.
02
Campaign Build
Search campaigns and Local Service Ads structured by service line and geography — with the negative-keyword walls that keep spend on buyers, not browsers.
03
Ad Copy & Extensions
Ads written to win the click against the other three contractors on the page — reviews, callouts, and call extensions included.
04
Landing Alignment
Clicks land on pages built to convert that specific search — not a generic homepage that makes them start over.
05
Weekly Optimization & Reporting
Bids, budgets, and search terms reviewed weekly. Plain-English reporting through Sonar: spend, leads, cost per lead, booked jobs.

The Process № iii

From invisible to first result.

i

Search Recon

We map what your customers actually search, what it costs, and what competitors are doing — then do the math on what a profitable lead looks like.

ii

Build

Campaigns, ads, extensions, negatives, tracking — built and reviewed with you before spend starts.

iii

Launch & Prune

Live on a controlled budget. The first weeks are pruning season: cutting waste searches, feeding what converts.

iv

Scale What Books

Budget concentrates on keywords that produce booked jobs — not clicks, not calls that go nowhere. Jobs.

Proof № iv

Where the numbers are.

Honest status: this is our newest service line.

Straight with you — our proving ground has been Meta-first, and that’s where our deepest reps are. Google Ads is run on the same operating system: controlled testing, kill thresholds, Sonar tracking, weekly reporting. As accounts mature, their numbers publish here.

Our rule: no fabricated proof, ever. Every number we ever show you comes tracked, timestamped, and attributable — or it doesn’t get shown. Most agencies show you screenshots. We show you the dashboard.

Questions № v

Asked every time.

Different jobs. Google captures existing demand — people already searching for your service. Meta creates demand — people who didn’t know their roof could look new again. Mature local businesses eventually run both; which comes first depends on your trade’s search volume and urgency profile. That’s a 10-minute conversation on the call.

Clicks in home services can cost real money — which is exactly why discipline matters. The question isn’t cost per click, it’s cost per booked job. A $25 click that becomes a $1,300 roof cleaning is cheap. An account with no negative keywords burning $15 clicks on "DIY" searches is expensive at any price.

For eligible trades they’re often the first thing we set up — pay-per-lead, top of page, reviews attached. Setup involves screening and verification most owners never finish. We walk it through with you.

Faster than any other channel to first lead — often within days — because the demand already exists. Efficient cost per lead takes longer: expect 4–6 weeks of pruning before the account hits its stride.
