How Google Ads, Local Services Ads and Facebook ads work together for towing companies

Towing is an emergency service found on Google and Maps. Google Search and Local Services Ads carry the budget, with call-only ads and 24/7 schedules. Facebook plays a small role for scrap car buying and business towing accounts.

Google Search ads

Call-focused emergency towing and roadside campaigns running around the clock.

Local Services Ads

Verified calls where towing is an LSA category in your market.

Facebook & Instagram ads

Scrap car removal offers and B2B account campaigns for dealerships and fleets.

Everything else

Marketing for towing companies

Planning marketing for a towing company

Most towing revenue comes from emergency searches on Google and from the Map Pack, where a complete Google Business Profile with accurate hours and reviews matters. Budgets should be highest during winter storms and holiday travel periods.

Recurring B2B work from repair shops, dealerships, property managers and fleet operators provides steady revenue between emergencies. Scrap car removal can be a third stream with its own campaign.

Emergency search

Google and Maps carry most calls.

Storm budgets

Spend rises in winter weather.

B2B contracts

How to split a towing marketing budget

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

  • Google Search ads 60%

  • Local Services Ads 30%

    Verified calls where towing is an LSA category in your market.

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

Tracking

What we track for towing companies

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