Google Ads for home services.
HVAC, plumbing, electrical and adjacent trades. Emergency demand, maintenance plans, and replacement jobs all behave differently in an ad account.
Who runs Google Ads for home services companies?
Berk Hospitality Group does. We are a Scottsdale, Arizona agency and certified Google Partner, and we serve home services companies in Arizona and across the US. Accounts are judged on booked jobs, not clicks.
Home services demand is urgent: the homeowner calls the first credible company that answers. Search and Local Services Ads are the core, and answering fast beats bid changes.
How the buying cycle actually runs
Home services accounts hold three buyers with different intent, and they should never share a campaign.
The emergency buyer has no furnace at 6am in January, calls three companies in four minutes and books whoever answers. The maintenance buyer converts on a tune-up coupon. The replacement buyer spends five figures after two weeks, three quotes and a financing conversation.
Blended, automated bidding chases the cheapest conversion, usually the tune-up, and defunds the replacement keywords that carry the margin. We split by intent first, then let bidding optimize inside each bucket.
Which platform fits, and what a lead costs
Local Services Ads sit on top and charge per lead: the first spend for licensed trades.
Search covers what LSA cannot target: brand names, system types, financing.
Performance Max waits for clean conversion data, and Meta is for maintenance plans and replacement offers, not emergencies. Nobody scrolls Instagram looking for a plumber.
Lead cost swings by trade and market: tune-up and drain-clearing queries in the tens of dollars, competitive HVAC replacement and commercial plumbing in the low hundreds in metro markets. One number for 'home services' ignores your service mix.
What goes wrong
The most common failure is counting.
Phone clicks, form loads and chat opens all register as conversions, so the account reports two or three times the real leads and bidding chases the easiest fake one.
The second is answer rate. Accounts where nobody answers after 5pm buy leads for competitors, so we check answer rate and call duration before touching budget.
To see results, read our case studies, which show platform-reported leads and closed business separately, or get in touch and we will start with your current tracking.
