Why Google Ads works for window & door companies

Window and door replacements are expensive, planned purchases, and homeowners compare several companies before booking a consultation. Google Ads puts you in front of them while they compare, and consultation-focused campaigns turn those searches into in-home visits your sales team can close.

Very mixed “window” searches

“Windows” also means software, cleaning, tinting and car windows. Without negatives, a large share of clicks is wasted.

Long, high-value sales cycle

Homeowners compare several quotes over weeks. Retargeting and fast follow-up matter.

Rebate confusion

Federal and provincial energy rebate programs change often, and many searchers are looking for rebates that have closed.

How we run window and door campaigns

Replacement-focused keywords

Window replacement, door installation and energy-efficient window searches, with the city in the keyword.

Consultation offer

Ads and pages built around a free in-home or virtual consultation with a written quote.

Offline conversion tracking

Signed contracts sent back to Google Ads, so bidding learns which searches bring real sales.

These searches come from people ready to hire. We replace [city] with each area you serve.

Campaign structure

How to structure Google Ads for window & door companies

Separate campaigns give each type of work its own budget, ads and landing page, so a high-value job never competes with a small one for the same clicks.

Negative keywords to add first

These searches look related but rarely become customers. Blocking them from day one protects your budget. We keep adding to the list every week from real search terms.

Budget

How much can you pay per window and door lead?

Your maximum cost per lead comes from your own numbers, not an industry average. Here is the math we use before setting any budget.

Google Ads Settings › Bidding Example account
What do you want to focus on?Conversions
Bid strategyMaximize conversions
Set a target cost per action $675.00

Recommended from your numbers: $4,500 profit per job × 30% of leads that become customers = $1,350 breakeven. We start around half of that.

Worked example: a whole-home window replacement

Gross profit per job
$4,500
Leads that become customers

Example numbers only. We calculate yours from your real job values and close rate before launch.

Mistakes to avoid

Common Google Ads mistakes window & door companies make

Missing “Windows” software negatives

Microsoft Windows searches can eat budget fast without negative keywords.

Counting form fills as sales

Only a small share of consultations become contracts. Track signed jobs, not just leads.

Promising closed rebates

Advertising a rebate that has ended damages trust and can breach advertising rules.

What negative keywords do window companies need?

At minimum: window cleaning, window tint, car window, Windows 10 and 11, software, blinds and screens repair (unless you offer it), jobs and DIY.

Should window ads mention government rebates?

Only programs that are open right now in your province, with a link to the official details. Rebate programs change often.
