How much should a home services business in Ore City spend on ads?

It depends on your services and how far you're willing to travel for jobs. A business covering just Ore City and nearby areas doesn't need a massive budget. We'd rather start small, see what converts, and scale from there.

Is Google Ads or Facebook better for home services?

Google Ads catches people actively searching for a service right now. Facebook's better for staying visible and getting referrals. Most home service businesses benefit from both, but we'd start with whichever one matches your budget and goals first.

What if I've already tried digital marketing and it didn't work?

That usually means the targeting was off or nobody was tracking results properly. Bad results from a bad setup don't mean marketing doesn't work for your business. They mean the setup was bad.

Do I need a new website before running ads?

If your current site loads fine and has your phone number and services listed clearly, it'll work. If it's outdated or broken on phones, we should fix that first — sending paid traffic to a bad site is just wasting the ad spend.

How long before I start seeing results from digital marketing?

Paid ads can generate calls within the first week once campaigns are live. SEO takes longer — usually a few months before you see real movement in search rankings. We'll be upfront about what to expect and when.

Your Customers Are Somewhere — Let's Find Them

Ore City's small. Upshur County's not huge either. So when you're running ads for plumbing or HVAC or lawn care, you can't afford to spray money across a 50-mile radius and hope.

The first thing we do is figure out where your actual customers are looking. Google search? Facebook? Sometimes it's just email to past customers reminding them you exist. A home services business in a town this size has a pretty specific audience — and that's actually an advantage. You're not competing with 200 other contractors for the same keywords. You just need to show up in the right spot.

We're not going to recommend a $3,000/month ad budget when your service area covers Ore City and the surrounding communities. That'd be stupid. We match the spend to the opportunity.

Google Ads Without the Guessing

Most home service businesses that tried Google Ads and quit had the same problem — broad keywords, no tracking, no idea what actually generated a phone call.

That's fixable. We set up campaigns targeting the services you actually want to sell, in the areas you actually cover. Then we track which clicks turn into calls. Not impressions. Not clicks. Calls and form fills. The stuff that matters.

And if Google Ads isn't the right channel for you? We'll say so. Sometimes a home services company in a smaller market gets more out of a solid Facebook presence or even just showing up properly in Google Maps. No reason to force it.

Social and Email — Yeah, They Still Work

Facebook's not dead in East Texas. Not even close. Folks in Ore City still share posts, tag their neighbors, and ask for recommendations in local groups. A good before-and-after photo of a finished job does more than a week of paid ads sometimes.

Email's the same way. You've probably got a list of past customers sitting in your phone or your invoicing software. A simple monthly email — seasonal reminders, maintenance tips, maybe a discount — keeps you top of mind without spending a dime on ads. We can set that up so it basically runs itself.

What This Actually Costs

Our SEO and ads management starts at $750/month. That covers the strategy, the setup, the ongoing management, and the reporting so you can see what's working.

No six-month contracts where you're locked in hoping something happens. No giant upfront fees before we've proven anything. If you also need a website that can actually convert the traffic we send — we do that too, starting at $1,500.

But honestly, if all you need right now is someone to look at what you're doing and tell you what's working and what's a waste? That conversation costs you nothing.
