Our proven 11-step framework. No PMax. No guessing. Here's exactly how we turn your ad spend into septic service calls and revenue.
Separate ad groups: Emergency Repair, Pumping, Inspection, Installation, Maintenance Plans. Each gets service-specific messaging and landing pages.
Set location radius to your actual service area. If you serve 20 miles, we exclude beyond. Negative keyword lists block searches you can't serve.
Ad copy emphasizes "24-hour emergency service," "same-day response," "available now." Customers are panicked. Your ads signal you're ready NOW.
Target CPA bidding set to $40–$100. Google bids higher on clicks that convert to service calls. Non-emergency browsers don't get funded.
Spring thaw (Mar–May): 40% of budget. Summer: 30%. Fall: 20%. Winter emergencies: 10%. Budget shifts monthly based on seasonal demand forecasts.
Emergency keywords bid for position 1 24/7. Routine service keywords bid for positions 2–3. This maximizes emergency visibility, controls cost.
Each ad group gets unique call-tracking number. You see which keywords drive calls. All form submissions tracked with conversion windows for immediate service calls.
80%+ of emergency septic searches happen on mobile. All landing pages load in under 2 seconds on 4G. Click-to-call button huge, above fold. Emergency hotline visible immediately.
Every day: review yesterday's calls and jobs booked. Which keywords underperformed? Lower bid or pause. Which landing pages bounce? Redesign. Which services have high cost per call? Adjust messaging.
Track 5–8 local septic competitors daily. Check their ad copy, landing pages, bid positions. Identify messaging gaps. If competitors avoid "emergency," that's your angle.
Once we hit profitable CPC ($40–$100 CPL), we scale incrementally. Add high-performing keywords, increase budgets on winning ad groups. Maintain profitability while growing to 50+ calls/month.
We don't follow a template. Every campaign is custom-built with septic service-specific strategies.
We build Search-only campaigns with manual bidding. No Display waste. No Audience Expansion guessing. We bid on the exact emergency and service keywords that matter.
Emergency ads get emergency pages. Pumping ads get pumping pages. Installation ads show installation testimonials. Each separately tracked and optimized. Zero generic homepage traffic.
We know your actual service areas. Build location targets and negative keyword lists around your zones. Zero wasted spend outside your territory. Ads only show to people you can serve.
We know which keywords drive calls, which drive quotes, which waste budget. Every click attributed to the exact keyword and service. This data drives daily optimization and scaling strategy.
Customers need help NOW. We show urgency: "24/7 Emergency," "Same-Day Response," "Call Now." Higher-intent clicks, faster conversions, lower cost per call.
Every day, review yesterday's calls and jobs. Which keywords underperformed? Which landing pages bounce? 3–5 data-driven changes weekly with impact on CPL and call forecasts.
We recommend $1,500–$2,500/month ad spend plus $300–$600/month management fee. Total: $1,800–$3,100/month. Should return 6–9× your ad spend in service calls and revenue, assuming average job value of $400–$1,500.
CPL = CPC ÷ conversion rate. Average septic CPC is $8–$20, with 12–18% landing page conversion. Math: $20 CPC ÷ 15% conversion = $133 CPL. But we're selective. Emergency keywords convert at 18%. Routine pumping at 14%. Same-day repair at 16%. Blended CPL: $40–$100.
No. PMax wastes 50–70% on low-intent Display/YouTube. A homeowner searching "emergency septic repair" on Google Search is 10× more likely to call than someone shown a septic ad on YouTube. We buy Search only. Optimize for emergency calls. Deliver 4–5× better ROI.
Day 1: Launch. Ads go live immediately. Keywords show. Expect 20–50 clicks day 1. Week 1: 15–30 service calls. Week 2: 30–50. Week 3–4: 40–70+. Most clients hit 45+ calls/month by week 6 and scale from there.
No contracts. Month-to-month. Cancel anytime with 10 days notice. That said, septic campaigns improve over time. Weeks 1–4: setup. Months 2–4: refinement. Months 5–12: peak ROI. If you leave after 4 weeks, you miss compound gains. Most clients commit 6–12 months.
We build flexible campaigns. March: ramp budget 40%, increase thaw-related keyword bids, launch seasonal landing pages. June: dial back slightly. September: steady. December: dial back further (winter slower). Budgets adjust monthly. You stay profitable year-round.
