How quickly can Google Ads start bringing in leads for my construction company?

Ads can go live within a few days of setup. Clicks and calls can start the same week. It usually takes 2-4 weeks of data before we can really tune the campaign and bring your cost-per-lead down, but you're visible from day one.

What's the minimum ad budget I should plan for in a market like Big Sandy?

Construction keywords in smaller East Texas markets tend to cost less per click than in metro areas. A reasonable starting point is a few hundred dollars a month in ad spend on top of the management fee. We'll give you a specific recommendation based on the services you want to advertise and how far you're willing to travel for jobs.

Can you target my ads to only show in certain towns or counties?

Yes, and you should. We set geographic targeting based on where you actually want to work. If you'll drive to Longview but not to Tyler, we draw the radius accordingly. No point paying for clicks from places you won't send a crew.

I already have a Google Ads account but I'm not sure it's working. Can you take it over?

We can audit what's there and either fix it or start fresh, depending on what makes sense. Some accounts have decent bones and just need cleanup. Others are structured in a way that's fighting against you. We'll tell you which one yours is before we start billing.

Do I need a website before running Google Ads?

You need somewhere to send the traffic. A landing page at minimum. If your current site doesn't show your services, completed projects, or a way to request a bid, the ads will bring people in and the site will lose them. We can handle both — the site and the ads.

What Google Ads Actually Does for a Construction Outfit

Someone in Upshur County types "home addition contractor near me" into their phone. Google shows them a few ads at the top. If yours is one of them, they click. They land on your site. They fill out a bid request or call you directly.

That's the whole mechanism. No mystery. You pay per click, not per impression, not per view. If nobody clicks, you don't pay. The trick is making sure the people who do click are actually looking for what you build — not searching for DIY framing tips or contractor licensing info.

This is where most construction companies waste money. They set up a campaign targeting "construction" or "builder" and wonder why they're getting clicks from people looking for Lego sets or Construction Simulator. Keywords matter. Match types matter. Negative keywords — the ones that tell Google who not to show your ads to — matter just as much. And geographic targeting has to be tight. You're working Big Sandy, Gilmer, maybe Hawkins or Gladewater. Not Dallas. Not Shreveport. Every click from outside your service area is money gone.

A Frank Conversation About Spending Money on Ads

Can you run Google Ads yourself? Yeah. Google makes it very easy to start spending. They do not make it easy to spend well.

You'll get a call from a Google rep. They'll suggest broad match keywords and automated bidding. They'll tell you to raise your budget. They work for Google. Their job is to get you to spend more. Not to get you more roofing jobs or commercial bids.

So who's actually watching the account? Who's checking the search terms report every week to see what queries triggered your ads? Who's pausing the keywords that eat budget and produce nothing? Who's adjusting bids when your cost-per-lead creeps up for no obvious reason?

If the answer is "nobody" or "I check it sometimes," you're probably paying more per lead than you need to. And in a small market like Big Sandy, you can't afford waste. The volume is lower, so every click counts more. A tight campaign in a small area can outperform a sloppy one in a big city — but only if somebody's managing it.

What We Set Up and What It Costs

We build campaigns around the services you actually offer. Residential remodels, commercial buildouts, concrete, roofing, whatever your crew handles. Each service gets its own ad group with keywords matched to how real people search for that work in East Texas.

Your ads point to pages that show your licenses, insurance, bonding info, and a clear way to request a bid. If your site doesn't have those pages yet, we can build them — a full website starts at $1,500.

Ongoing ads management starts at $750/mo. That covers campaign setup, keyword research, weekly monitoring, bid adjustments, and monthly reporting that actually tells you what happened. Your ad spend with Google is separate and billed directly to you — we don't mark it up or bury fees in it. You see exactly what goes to Google and exactly what goes to us.
