Remodeling PPC is fundamentally different from other service businesses — longer decision cycles, higher project values, and clients who research extensively before calling. We build Google Ads campaigns that speak to that journey: from the first kitchen remodel search to the signed contract, with retargeting that keeps you visible throughout the entire 21-day consideration window.
The Strategy
A $180 cost-per-lead sounds expensive until you remember the project is worth $80,000. Here is what makes high-ticket remodeling PPC unique.
A homeowner planning a kitchen remodel may take 3 to 8 weeks to choose a contractor. Retargeting ads keep you visible throughout that entire window — on Google Display, YouTube, and social. Most competitors are not running retargeting. That is your opportunity.
A $180 cost-per-lead is expensive by most standards — but not when the project is a $75,000 kitchen remodel. Even at a 20% close rate, each lead is worth $15,000 in revenue. The economics of high-ticket PPC are fundamentally different from service businesses with $200 average tickets.
Remodeling PPC is not about generating 100 leads per month. It is about generating 20 highly qualified leads from homeowners with real budgets and real timelines. We use qualifying language in ads and on landing pages to filter out tire-kickers before they call.
Austin remodeling peaks in spring (March through May) and summer (June through August). Pre-season campaigns starting in January capture planning-stage homeowners before they speak with competitors. We build and activate seasonal campaigns on a calendar schedule.
Campaign Types
From first search to signed contract — we cover every stage of the remodeling customer journey.
Target homeowners actively searching for kitchen remodels, bathroom renovations, home additions, and ADU construction. These are large-investment, considered purchases — the ad copy and landing page must communicate quality and trust, not just availability.
Separate campaigns for each service line with dedicated landing pages. Kitchen remodeling and master bath renovations require completely different messaging, imagery, and CTAs. Siloed campaigns produce higher Quality Scores and lower CPCs than lumping all services into one.
Remodeling is a 3 to 6 week research process. Most homeowners will visit your website, compare 3 to 5 contractors, and delay their decision. Retargeting campaigns keep your brand visible throughout the entire consideration cycle — across Google Display, YouTube, and social media.
General contractors and remodelers qualify for Google Guaranteed LSAs — the highest-visibility placement in all of Google search. LSAs charge per lead, show your review rating prominently, and drive phone calls from homeowners who are ready to consult.
Target homeowners actively searching for your top competitors by name. When someone searches for a well-known Austin remodeler, your company appears alongside theirs — capturing budget from the same pool of ready-to-hire homeowners.
Spring and summer are peak remodeling season in Austin. Pre-season campaigns in January through March capture planning-stage homeowners before they have spoken to competitors. Financing-focused ads lower the psychological barrier for high-ticket projects.

Our Process
Our launch process for remodeling PPC — built specifically for high-ticket, long-cycle lead generation.
We audit your current campaign spend for waste, identify which keywords competitors are bidding on, and analyze their ad copy and landing page strategies. The Austin remodeling market has specific dynamics we know well.
High-ticket remodeling requires a different campaign structure than service businesses. We segment by project type, budget intent, and customer journey stage — with separate campaigns for awareness, consideration, and decision.
Remodeling ad copy must communicate quality, trust, and local credibility — not just availability. We write ad copy tailored to each project type and build landing pages with portfolio images, client testimonials, and friction-free consultation requests.
We install remarketing pixels, build audience segments (all visitors, estimate page visitors, portfolio gallery viewers), and set up the 21-day retargeting sequence across Google Display and YouTube — before campaigns go live.
We handle the Google Local Services Ads verification process: contractor license upload, liability insurance verification, and background check initiation — getting your Google Guaranteed badge live as quickly as possible.
Campaigns launch. We monitor daily for 2 weeks, then transition to ongoing monthly optimization: bid management, negative keyword expansion, landing page A/B testing, seasonal budget adjustments, and monthly reporting.
