Google Ads Management for Contractors in Lombard, IL
Stop Burning Budget on
Lombard Clicks That
Don’t Call
Google Ads for Lombard contractors puts your estimate offer at the top of the page the moment a homeowner searches for your trade. We build the campaigns around the replacement jobs a 1970s house needs, set the radius from the village outward, and manage it for $750 a month plus whatever you choose to spend.
Clicks are easy to buy, jobs are not
Anyone can turn on a Google Ads campaign and spend a budget. Getting the right searches, the right radius and a landing page that converts is where the money is kept or wasted.
Cost per click follows the house
Clicks for a trade in a market with homes around $336,000 and incomes near $100,000 cost real money, because the jobs behind them are worth real money. The campaign has to be tight: exact phrases for the services you want, negatives for everything else, and no budget on curiosity searches.
We bid on jobs, not browsing →A radius drawn from the village
Targeting the whole metro means paying for clicks from homeowners you will never drive to. We draw the radius out from here and the towns you actually work in, then adjust bids by how far the lead is from your shop so the closest, most profitable jobs get the most budget.
We target where you work →Repair and replace, not new build
The median home here was built in 1971, so the searches are deck replacement, patio repair, fence replacement and kitchen remodel, not new construction. Keyword lists built for a growing subdivision waste money in a settled village. We match the keyword list to the housing stock.
We match keywords to the homes →The landing page is the ad
A click that lands on your homepage, scrolls past a slideshow and finds no form is a wasted click. Each campaign gets a page about that one service, with photos, a short process, reviews and a form above the fold. That page is where the cost per lead is decided.
We build the landing page →Search campaigns managed for cost per lead
Keyword research, campaign and ad group build, radius and bid settings, landing pages, conversion tracking, ongoing optimization and a monthly report that shows what each lead cost. Management from $750 a month, with ad spend paid to Google separately.

Reading the numbers for your ad budget
Lombard’s roughly 44,000 residents, about 71 percent of them homeowners, make up a search audience big enough to run a campaign against without expanding the radius to the whole county on day one. Household income near $100,000 means the homeowner behind the click can afford the project, and a median home value around $336,000 means the project is sized to be worth paying for the lead.
The housing stock dates to about 1971 on the median, which steers the keyword strategy. Replacement searches are specific and carry intent: someone typing deck replacement already has a deck that failed. Those terms convert better than broad trade names, and the ad copy should talk about tearing out and replacing, not building from scratch. The landing page should show exactly that work.
Our office in Des Plaines is about 13 miles away, straight-line, so the radius we draw for you overlaps territory we know. When a campaign needs a photo of a finished job for the landing page, we can go get it instead of asking you for a phone snapshot.

Google Ads in Lombard:
Common Questions
How much should a contractor in Lombard spend on Google Ads?
Enough to generate a steady sample of leads so the numbers mean something, which depends on how competitive your keywords are and how wide your radius is. We set a starting budget with you, measure cost per lead in the first weeks and adjust. Management is $750 a month regardless of spend.
Do Google Ads work for replacement jobs in Lombard?
Yes, and often better than for new construction, because replacement searches are specific and urgent. A homeowner in a 1970s house with a failing deck is ready to buy. The campaign targets those phrases, the ad promises an estimate, and the landing page shows replacements like theirs.
What is the difference between Google Ads and Pay Per Lead?
Google Ads charges per click and sends the homeowner to your website. Pay Per Lead, also called Local Service Ads, charges per lead and shows your listing above the ads with Google’s verification. Running both is common, since they occupy different spots on the page and reach the same searcher twice.
