How Google Ads, Local Services Ads and Facebook ads work together for demolition contractors

Demolition is a search-first service. Google Search captures homeowners and builders comparing contractors, and Facebook and Instagram build recognition with teardown videos that local audiences love to watch.

Google Search ads

Full demolition, interior demolition and small structure campaigns, plus a builder campaign.

Local Services Ads

Demolition is not a Local Services Ads category in most Canadian markets.

Facebook & Instagram ads

Teardown videos, cleared-lot before-and-afters and B2B ads aimed at builders.

Everything else

Relationships with infill builders and renovation contractors who need teardowns regularly.

Marketing for demolition contractors

The right channel mix for demolition

Demolition leads come from homeowners, renovation contractors, builders and developers. Google Search captures active needs, while partnerships with renovation and building companies bring steady work. Meta supports residential awareness.

Because job values vary widely, tracking revenue by lead type and channel matters. A single commercial job can outweigh many residential leads.

Mixed customers

Homeowners and contractors both matter.

Partnerships

Renovation and building firms as referral sources.

Revenue tracking

Job value by lead type and channel.

Where customers see you

Your demolition business on every platform

Our suggested starting point for demolition contractors. After the first month, budget moves to whichever channel produces the cheapest booked jobs.

    Demolition is not a Local Services Ads category in most Canadian markets.

Suggested starting split, adjusted monthly once real cost-per-lead data comes in.

Tracking

What we track for demolition contractors

The same lead actions are tracked across Google Ads, Local Services Ads and Meta, so no channel gets credit for another’s work.
