HVAC Google Ads playbook
Three campaign types in parallel: (1) Local Service Ads for emergency + repair queries (lowest CPL); (2) Call-only campaigns on Google Search for high-intent mobile queries; (3) Standard search campaigns for install + replacement queries with landing pages and form capture. Performance Max layered in when conversion data is rich enough (typically 90+ days in).
Call tracking for HVAC
Every campaign is tied to CallRail (or CallTrackingMetrics) with dynamic number insertion. Booked-appointment tracking via CRM integration so we optimize on revenue, not raw call volume. Recordings reviewed weekly to flag CSR conversion issues.
Seasonal budget pacing
We surge spend during heat waves and the first cold snap (3x normal) and throttle to maintenance levels in shoulder months. This produces 40–70% better blended cost-per-booked-call vs. flat year-round spend.
Frequently asked
How much should an HVAC contractor spend on Google Ads in Brentwood?
Productive ranges: $2,500–$8,000/month in media for single-location HVAC contractors. Multi-location or $5M+ revenue contractors typically run $8,000–$25,000/month spread across LSA, Search, and PMax.
Is Local Service Ads worth it for HVAC?
Yes — it's almost always the lowest cost-per-lead channel for HVAC. Google Guaranteed badge lifts conversion ~20%, and you only pay for qualified calls. We handle setup, background checks, profile, and dispute resolution.
How do you handle off-season HVAC ad budgets?
We don't shut off — we throttle. Maintenance budgets ($800–$1,500/month) during shoulder months hold rankings and brand presence, then surge ahead of the next heat wave or cold snap. Off-and-on budgets lose more than they save.
