Both pipelines. One system.
Facebook & Instagram
Meta Ads put your business in front of homeowners in your area before they start searching. We run targeted campaigns on Facebook and Instagram — reaching the right people, in the right location, at the right time. Every enquiry comes in exclusively. No shared contacts, no bidding against other contractors.
Best if:
Search + Google Guaranteed
Google Ads capture homeowners who are actively searching for your trade right now. When someone types "roofer near me" or "boiler repair [city]", your business appears at the top. We run two types of Google Ads — standard Pay-Per-Click search ads and Google Guaranteed (Local Service Ads), where you only pay when a verified customer contacts you directly.
Best if:
Your ads appear at the top of Google when homeowners search for your trade. You pay each time someone clicks. Best for contractors who want broad search visibility across multiple service types.
A Google-verified badge appears next to your business name at the very top of search results. You only pay when a homeowner contacts you directly through the ad — not per click. Best for contractors who want high-trust, high-intent enquiries with lower risk.
Not sure which Google Ads type fits your trade and area? We'll recommend the right one on your call.

If you want to build a consistent, high-volume pipeline and reach homeowners before they start shopping around — Meta Ads is your starting point.
If you want to capture homeowners who are already searching and ready to book — Google Ads puts you at the top the moment they search.
If you want both — we run both. Most contractors who scale their pipeline use Meta Ads for volume and Google Ads for high-intent enquiries at the same time.
