High-Ticket Leads for
Austin Remodeling Contractors
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
Why Remodeling PPC Requires a Different Approach
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.
Long Decision Cycles Reward Retargeting
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.
High LTV Justifies High CPL
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.
Quality Over Quantity
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.
Seasonal Windows Are Critical
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
6 Campaign Types for Remodeling Lead Generation
From first search to signed contract — we cover every stage of the remodeling customer journey.
High-Ticket Lead Generation Campaigns
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.
Service-Specific Campaigns
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.
Retargeting Campaigns (21-Day Cycle)
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.
Google Local Services Ads (LSA)
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.
Competitor Conquest Campaigns
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.
Financing & Seasonal Promotions
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.
