Marketing for HVAC, plumbing and electrical contractors

Leaks, no AC, tripped breakers — customers need someone now.

These customers rarely shop around — they call whoever shows up first and picks up. We run Google Search ads, Local Services Ads and your website together, with emergency repairs and replacements in separate campaigns, so the budget goes to searches that book jobs.

How customers search

Customers search for “now, nearby, come today”

Emergency customers call right away; replacement and upgrade customers compare a few companies, reviews and warranties. Separate campaigns and pages for each keep the budget from leaking. Remodeler or cabinet company? See our contractors page.

What we do

Show up at the very top, then catch every call

Local Services Ads

The ads at the very top with the “Google Verified” badge, paid per lead. We prepare your license, insurance and background-check paperwork — approval usually takes 2–6 weeks — then handle lead disputes and ranking.

Google Search ads

Emergency and replacement campaigns run separately; call-only ads run during staffed hours; targeting by ZIP and service area, with DIY, jobs and parts searches blocked.

Lead-focused website

A page per service with price ranges, service area, license and insurance, warranty and reviews, plus one-tap calling. Missed calls get an automatic text so customers don’t move on.

Google Maps & reviews

A service-area profile; review count affects both LSA and Maps ranking, so every finished job gets an automatic review request, and every review gets a reply.

FAQ

Questions HVAC and plumbing owners ask

How are Local Services Ads different from regular Google Ads?
LSA appears at the very top with the “Google Verified” badge and charges per lead, not per click. It requires license, insurance and background checks, usually 2–6 weeks. Search ads charge per click, launch in days and scale further. They work best together.
Can we get credit for bad LSA leads?
You can dispute them. Unrelated, wrong-number and out-of-area leads can be disputed in the dashboard — we review and submit them weekly.
We don’t answer at night. Is ad money wasted?
No. Call-only ads can run only during staffed hours; at night, ads send people to your website, and forms or missed calls trigger an automatic text so you can call back in the morning.
How do we split budget between emergencies and replacements?
Separate campaigns. Emergencies are about speed and answering; replacement customers compare quotes and warranties and need fuller pages. We weight the budget toward the jobs you want most.
Do you work in English and Chinese?
Yes — strategy, communication and monthly reports in either language.
Who owns the ad and LSA accounts?
You do. They’re set up in your name; if we stop working together, the accounts and data stay with you.
