Maps, reviews & reputation. Bundles with any plan
Content marketing comes with every website build. Reputation management comes with Google Business Profile. No bloated bundles, just the channels that grow your business.
A leaky faucet, a broken door frame, furniture that won't assemble—customers search "handyman near me" in desperation. They call the first result. If that's not you, you lose a $150–$800 job. We build Google Ads campaigns for handyman pros who know every job deserves expert attention and fair pricing. Not generic templates—proven strategies built by home service PPC experts.
High-intent keywords from homeowners with repair needs. Emergency searches ("near me," "same-day") + specialty searches (furniture assembly, TV mounting, drywall) + location-based. All CPCs and CPL data reflect real 2026 market rates for competitive US markets.

Our proven 11-step framework built specifically for home repair urgency. No PMax, no wasted Display clicks. Search-only campaigns with expert job-type segmentation, estimate-driven landing pages, and fast-response emphasis.
Separate keywords into 8 ad groups: General Handyman, Furniture Assembly, TV/Electronics Mounting, Drywall/Painting, Plumbing Support, Electrical Support, Emergency Services, and Maintenance. Each gets custom messaging that matches job urgency.
General handyman: "Repairs done RIGHT. Same-day estimates." TV mounting: "Expert TV installation. Perfect placement." Furniture: "Assembly in 1–2 hours." Each ad emphasizes speed and expertise to drive immediate calls.
Furniture assembly keywords go to assembly-specific page. TV mounting keywords go to electronics-focused page. Emergency keywords go to 24-hour response page. Each page shows average turnaround time, sample pricing, and customer photos of completed work.
We use Target CPA bidding based on your average job value (typical handyman jobs = $150–$800). Google's AI learns which clicks lead to actual booked jobs and bids higher on those. We never bid the same on emergency repairs as furniture assembly.
Spring home repairs = 30% of budget. Fall preparation = 25%. Summer exterior = 20%. Winter emergency = 15%. Budget shifts monthly based on seasonal demand patterns and your job capacity. Heavy rain days trigger plumbing bid increases.
Emergency keywords (leaking, broken) get aggressive position 1 bids 24/7. Regular maintenance bids for position 2–3. Specialty services bid position 3–4. We adjust bids up 25% during peak hours (mornings, evenings) when homeowners are most likely to call.
Every ad group gets a unique call tracking number. You see which job types drive calls and which drive actual booked work. Estimate form submissions tracked with 10-minute conversion window (homeowners book fast when they need work done now).
90%+ of handyman searches are mobile—usually during a crisis. Landing pages load under 1 second. Giant "GET ESTIMATE" and "CALL NOW" buttons above the fold. Click-to-call works instantly. Phone number visible immediately on mobile.
We monitor 5–7 local handyman competitors daily. Check their ad copy, landing pages, service claims. If competitors emphasize price, we emphasize quality. If they focus on speed, we focus on expertise. We find gaps and own them.
Quality Score directly impacts your CPC. We optimize landing page experience, ad relevance, and expected CTR to keep your Quality Score at 7+. Higher Quality Score = lower CPCs = more calls at same budget. We test new landing pages weekly.
Every day: review yesterday's jobs by ad group. Which keywords drove high-value work? Which drove tire-kickers? Which keywords have low conversion rates? Lower bids or pause underperformers. Increase budget on high-ROI keywords. Testing never stops.
We don't follow a template. Every campaign is custom-built with proven strategies that work in home repair—and nowhere else.
We build Search-only campaigns with manual keyword bidding. No Display Network. No YouTube. No Audience Expansion. We bid on the exact handyman keywords that matter, at the exact bid we choose.
Emergency keywords get emergency messaging. Furniture assembly keywords get speed messaging. Drywall keywords get expertise. Each ad group is separately tracked, managed, and optimized. One account manager oversees each campaign personally.
We bid $6–$18 on general keywords, $18–$22 on emergency/specialty because those calls are worth $200–$800+ in job revenue. We never compete on cheap clicks. We compete on conversions. Our bids are 20–25% higher than competitors using Maximize Clicks—and our ROI is 3–5× better.
We know which keywords drive calls, which drive estimate requests, which keywords generate the highest average job value. Every click is attributed to the exact keyword that generated it. This data drives daily optimization decisions.
90%+ of handyman searches are on mobile, usually during a crisis. We optimize for speed (under 1 second), huge click-to-call buttons, instant dialing. No desktop-first designs that fail when someone needs work done NOW.
Every day, we review yesterday's jobs and estimate acceptance rates. Which keywords performed? Which produced unqualified calls? We make 3–5 data-driven changes and report them to you weekly with impact on CPL and job forecasts.
We charge a management fee of $300–$500/month depending on the number of ad groups and tracking complexity. This is in addition to ad spend. Most handyman campaigns run $1,500–$3,000/month in ad spend, so your total investment is $1,800–$3,500. With an average job value of $200–$800 and a 10–15% conversion rate, your ROI is typically 4–8×.
CPL depends on CPC ÷ conversion rate. Handyman CPCs range from $6–$22 depending on the keyword (general repairs lower, emergency higher). With 10–15% landing page conversion rates, your blended CPL is typically $40–$220, with most clients seeing $60–$120. To lower CPL, we optimize landing pages and reduce wasted clicks on non-serious searches.
Yes, exclusively. Specialty services often convert higher because customers know exactly what they need. TV mounting CPCs are $9–$14 but convert at 12–16%. We segment these by service type and bid aggressively because they're profitable. If you specialize in one service, we'll focus budget there.
Campaign launch: Day 1. Ads go live immediately. Keywords start showing. You'll see 15–40 clicks on day 1 from homeowners searching for immediate help. Expected estimate requests in week 1: 3–6. By week 2: 8–12 requests. By week 3–4: 15–20+ requests per week. Most clients hit 15–25 booked jobs/month by week 6.
No contracts. Month-to-month. You can pause or stop anytime with 10 days notice. That said, handyman campaigns improve over time. Weeks 1–4 are setup and initial testing. Months 2–4 are refinement. Months 5–12 are peak ROI and lowest CPL. Most clients stay 4–12 months because returns accelerate. But it's your choice.
Perfect—we adjust for that. If you're closed in winter, we reduce bids during those months. If you're fully booked in summer, we lower bids to preserve budget for slower seasons. If you only work 40 hours/week, we budget accordingly. Your campaign adapts to your actual capacity.
