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

Renovations take months to decide. Facebook and Instagram, plus YouTube, keep you in front of homeowners while they plan; Google Search captures them when they compare contractors; and Local Services Ads add leads where general contractor categories are open.

Google Search ads

Kitchen, bathroom and basement campaigns, each with its own project gallery page.

Local Services Ads

Verified leads where general contractor or remodeling categories are available.

Facebook & Instagram ads

Project walk-through videos, planning-session offers and long retargeting windows.

Everything else

YouTube project videos and a strong Google Business Profile gallery.

Marketing for renovation contractors

How renovation customers choose a contractor

Large renovations involve long decisions, often several months. Customers see your work on social media, research costs on Google, read reviews, and meet two or three contractors. A good plan covers every stage: Meta for inspiration and awareness, Google Search for active research and consultations, and retargeting and email to stay in touch.

Because each project is large, tracking consultations, quotes sent and signed contracts by channel is essential. Lead volume alone says little about renovation marketing results.

Budget

How to split a renovation marketing budget

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

  • Google Search ads 50%

    Kitchen, bathroom and basement campaigns, each with its own project gallery page.

  • Local Services Ads 10%

    Verified leads where general contractor or remodeling categories are available.

  • Facebook & Instagram 40%

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

Tracking

What we track for renovation contractors

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