Meta + Google · Massachusetts

More booked jobs. Marketing off your plate.

Meta makes them know you. Google makes them choose you. Scroll-stopping creative gets you on their radar before they need you. Then the moment they search, you're already the top result. Both landing on a site built to book, tracked to the dollar.

The hard truth

The roll-ups are coming for your town.

Private equity is buying up home-service businesses by the dozen, and bidding up the ads in your own backyard. You don't have to outspend them. You have to out-track them.

55
Record private-equity home-service deals closed in a single year (+72% year over year). One acquirer alone added roughly 60 local shops in 2025.
Better-funded competitors are bidding up the ads in your own backyard.
$149
Average non-branded Google lead for HVAC & plumbing today (roofing runs up to ~$228), and it climbs as more competitors advertise.
Owners who can't trace a lead to a booked job overpay every month.

So the real question was never "should I run ads." Three of your four competitors already do. It's whether yours are tracked to booked jobs, before the roll-ups lock up your town.

The difference

Most ads chase form-fills. I chase booked jobs.

Point Google at "lead submitted" and the AI finds you more form-fills: tire-kickers, wrong area, wrong price. Feed booked-job data back, and it starts optimizing for the leads that actually close. Your cost per booked job drops.

The headline takeaway from Google's own Marketing Live, 2026

That feedback loop is the whole game, and it's the one thing almost nobody sets up. I build it on day one.

The mechanism

How the booked-job loop actually works.

No black box. Three steps, and the third is the one almost nobody sets up.

1

Capture the right click

Google Search and pay-per-lead Local Services Ads, the Google Guaranteed badge at the very top, catch people searching right now; Meta builds awareness and retargets. Every click lands on a page built to book, tagged so we know exactly where it came from.

LSA + Google + Meta → your page
2

Respond before they cool off

The lead drops into your CRM the second it comes in, and you're prompted to call or text back within minutes: the single biggest lever on whether a lead becomes a job.

Lead → CRM → instant response
3

Feed booked jobs back

You mark each job won or lost. That booked-job data flows back to Google and Meta, so the AI stops chasing form-fills and starts finding leads that actually close, and your cost per booked job drops month over month.

Jobs won → back to the ad AI

That's the loop. Most agencies stop at step 1. The whole edge is step 3, and it compounds.

Top of mind

Be the name they call.

Meta puts real, scroll-stopping creative in front of your neighbors before they need you, so the second something breaks, you're who they already know.

A predictable pipeline

The build: tracking first, then real campaigns replacing the boost button, with spend raised only as the returns proved out.

“Paid ads and a site built for booking turned my revenue into something predictable. The anxiety of living on word of mouth and hoping a post lands is gone: I put money in, I can see what comes back. It saves me time and makes me more money.”
Owner, Studio Hudson

Real numbers, past performance, not a promise.

The process

Live in a week. Refined every month.

Step 1

Discovery

I learn your business inside and out: your services, your best jobs, your real customers, and the towns you want more of. The strategy is built around what actually makes you money.

Week 1

Ads live

Your Google and Meta campaigns go live and real, in-market traffic starts hitting a site built to convert. Every click tracked to the dollar from day one.

Month 1

First report

Your first clear read: ad spend, revenue generated, and return on ad spend, measured against the target ROAS we set together up front.

Ongoing

Refine monthly

Once data's flowing, I put my data-science background to work, digging into the numbers and building real analysis to push your results up, month over month.

Your options

If you actually want more booked jobs.

✕

Do it yourself

You're on the truck all day. Marketing becomes the 11pm job that never gets done right.

✕

Hire a big agency

Account managers who don't call back, long contracts, reports full of clicks, not jobs.

✕

Buy shared leads

Angi and Yelp sell the same lead to five competitors. A race to the bottom.

Questions

Straight answers about ads.

How much do Google Ads cost for home-service businesses?

It varies by trade and market, but in 2026 a typical Google search lead runs around $100–$110 for HVAC and about $52 for plumbing, with Google Local Services Ads near $51–$57 per lead. What matters most is cost per booked job: what it actually costs to put a job on your calendar.

Should I run Google or Meta ads first?

Start with Google: it captures people actively searching for your service right now. Then add Meta to build demand and retarget visitors who didn't call. As budget grows, the mix shifts more toward Meta.

How much should I budget for ads?

Most home-service owners invest 8–15% of revenue, and we scope your exact number together on the call. Want the full breakdown? Grab the free budget guide above.

How long until the ads start working?

Ads are typically live within about a week, the first meaningful read comes around 30 days, and the account is refined every month from there. You'll always know your real cost per booked job.

Do I own my ad accounts?

Yes. You own every ad account, there's no markup on your ad spend, and you keep everything if we ever stop working together.
