Google Ads for contractors

Lucorp Media runs Google Ads for contractors and remodelers, built on pay-per-click search, keyword research, landing pages and geotargeting. We run search engine marketing for renovation, kitchen and countertop companies and house painters. Our ads reach homeowners with a project and a budget, so your crews spend the week on jobs people are ready to sign. You own the Google Ads account, and every report shows revenue, not rankings. Quality Score and conversion rate optimization are part of every campaign, and we handle each step between a homeowner's search and your signed contract. Working with general contractors across the United States, we help owners win more home improvement jobs when every competitor in town can buy the same search.

What one booked search is worth

A click costs the same whether it comes from a homeowner planning a kitchen or a student writing a paper. The job behind the click is the number that matters.

JobTypical value
Full kitchen remodel$50,000 and up
Primary suite bathroom$20,000 to $40,000
Large kitchen countertops with an island, quartzite or marble$8,000 to $20,000
Two-story exterior repaint$6,000 to $18,000

Illustrative, using typical project values: 40 calls in a month, one in four booked, at an $8,000 average job is 10 jobs and $80,000 in signed work. Your close rate and job size will move that number.

Where contractor ad budgets go

Most contractors who quit Google Ads did not lose to Google. They lost to settings: ads running across a whole metro area, broad keywords that match "how to paint a door", no negative keyword list and no record of which click turned into a call.

The agency report shows impressions and click-through rate. The owner sees a quiet phone. One construction operator who spent over $7,000 described the result as ads running "without landing a single job."

without landing a single job.

Home service owner, owner thread
  • Your ads match the wrong searches

    Without negative keywords, "countertop" also matches "countertop paint DIY" and "countertop jobs hiring". You pay for every one of those clicks.

  • The account isn't in your name

    Some agencies build the account under their own login. When you leave, the history and the tracking stay with them.

  • Nobody knows which click booked

    Without call tracking tied to each campaign, a $50,000 kitchen and a wrong number look the same in the report.

How it works

Lead Engine in four steps, and you can watch each one inside your own account.

  1. A contractor reviewing his lead numbers with a Lucorp Media strategist

    We start with your numbers

    Your average job, your close rate, your crew capacity and the towns you want. That decides which searches are worth bidding on.

  2. Reviewing the numbers with a contractor

    We build the search campaigns

    One campaign per job you want more of, with junk searches blocked from day one and a landing page for each offer.

  3. Call tracking dashboard with recorded calls moving through a pipeline to booked jobs

    Every call gets recorded

    Each campaign gets its own tracked number, so you can play back a call and see the search behind it.

  4. Owner reviewing a monthly report of revenue from booked jobs climbing

    We cut what doesn't book

    Each month we move budget from searches that brought tire kickers to the searches that brought signed jobs.

Who Google Ads is for

Ads pay off fastest for owners who can take on more work next month.

Good fit

This is for you if

  • Your crews have room for more jobs next month
  • You know your average job, or want to work it out
  • Someone answers the phone within a few rings
  • You serve towns you can name on a map
  • You want the account in your own name
Not a fit

Not for you if

  • Nobody can answer the phone during the day
  • You only want commercial bid work
  • You need calls this week and plan to stop next month
  • You aren't taking new jobs right now

Search ads, Local Services Ads and Performance Max

Most contractors do best starting with search campaigns, then adding Local Services Ads once Google verifies the business. Performance Max comes last, when call tracking is clean.

Questions owners ask

Straight answers. If yours isn't here, the video covers it.

Usually in the first week the campaign is live, once Google approves the ads. The first month is also when we find and block the searches that waste money, so call quality tends to climb in months two and three.

No. A modest budget in the towns closest to your shop beats a large one spread across a whole metro area. We size it with you on the call, using your job values and how many jobs your crews can take.

Often, yes, once Google has verified your business and you have steady reviews. They charge per lead and sit above the search ads, so they catch a different group of homeowners beside your search campaign.

You do. We set it up in your name or work inside the one you have. Billing goes to your card, and the account history stays with you if you ever leave.

Most failed contractor accounts we review share two faults: broad keywords with no negative keyword list, and no call tracking. We fix both in the first week and show you the search terms report so you can see the difference yourself.

Ads put you at the top of the results the day they go live and stop when the budget stops. home service SEO builds Maps and search visibility that keeps bringing calls without a charge per click. Many contractors run both.
