Google Ads for home improvement companies

Conservatories, garage conversions, windows, driveways, media walls: when someone searches "[service] installer near me" or "[service] cost", they are close to a decision. Google Ads puts your business in front of that search with campaigns built for a considered, high-ticket purchase.

The problem

Homeowners search for the price first, the installer second

Before anyone calls a conservatory or garage conversion firm, they've usually searched the cost, maybe the planning rules, and a couple of "installers near me". Each of those is a different intent and deserves a different ad and page. Bidding on one broad keyword and sending everyone to the homepage wastes the most expensive clicks in the account.

Home improvement accounts also leak budget on searches that will never convert: DIY guides, suppliers, job-seekers and people outside your area. Tight negative keywords and geo targeting are as important as the keywords you bid on.

Search intent

How homeowners actually search

Cost and price research

"Garage conversion cost", "new windows price". Early-stage, high volume. Worth bidding on with a page that gives honest price guidance and a reason to ask for a quote.

Installer near me

"Media wall installers Blackpool", "conservatory fitters near me". Ready to hire. Local targeting, call extensions and a quick enquiry form matter most here.

Comparing options

"Conservatory vs orangery", "garage conversion vs extension". Mid-funnel. Better suited to retargeting and Meta than to expensive search clicks.

Local Services Ads

A separate placement above standard ads for eligible trades and areas. Pay per valid lead with a Google Guaranteed badge, ranked more on reviews, proximity and responsiveness.

FAQ

Common questions

How much should a home improvement company budget for Google Ads?

Most home improvement businesses we work with start at £1,000 to £3,000 a month in ad spend, plus management, scaling with the size of the job and the area covered. Below about £500 a month there usually isn't enough data to optimise properly.

Do you offer Google Ads help for small home improvement businesses, not just larger installers?

Yes. We work with single-crew trades through to multi-team installers, and scope the account and budget to what the business can actually handle.

What is Google Local Services Ads and is my trade eligible?

Local Services Ads is a separate, pay-per-lead placement that shows above standard Search ads with a Google Guaranteed badge, available for specific trade categories and locations. We check eligibility as part of onboarding. More on the Local Services Ads page.

Can you handle seasonal demand for conservatories, driveways and outdoor work?

Yes. Demand for conservatories, windows and outdoor work is seasonal. We plan budget and messaging around it rather than fighting it.

Do you have a Google Ads expert dedicated to home improvement, or just a generalist?

One person manages the account directly, with experience in trade-specific keyword structure, seasonal budget planning and Local Services Ads. See the Google Ads consultant page for how that works.
