Why it goes wrong

Where Interested Homeowners Get Lost

Most visitors do not call on the first visit, and without retargeting you pay for the click once and never see them again

You pay for the click once and forget them

A homeowner comparing three companies leaves your site and never sees you again, then books whoever stayed visible

Everyone sees the same ad

Someone who read your water heater page should not see a generic brand ad. The message has to match what they looked at

Unsold estimates disappear

The quote is out, the homeowner is deciding, and nothing is keeping you in front of them while they do

What you get

What Our Retargeting Includes

Every part of the program, written out, so you can hold us to it

Audiences that make sense

Website visitors by page Repair readers, replacement readers and quote page visitors treated differently
Unsold estimate audiences Homeowners who got a quote and have not booked yet
Past customer audiences Maintenance plan and seasonal offers to people who already trust you

Creative and placements

Facebook, Instagram and Display The placements homeowners actually spend time in
YouTube retargeting Short video in front of the people who already know you
Fresh creative monthly So the same people are not seeing a three-month-old ad

Tracking and reporting

Call, text and chat tracking Every conversation tied to the campaign, keyword or page behind it
Revenue and quote value tracking Booked revenue reported by source in the ads packages, and organic revenue on its own in Local Dominator
Live dashboards and a scheduled report Performance by channel any time in the ads packages, walked through with your strategist

FAQ

Questions We Get Asked About Retargeting

Straight answers to the questions owners ask us before they hire us

Management is included in every ads package. The media spend is part of your ad budget, and it is usually a small share of it.

Frequency is capped and audiences expire, so people see you while they are deciding, not for months afterwards.

It depends on the job. A repair shopper decides in days, a replacement shopper can take weeks, so the windows are set per audience.

It needs enough visitors to build audiences. If traffic is low, the first job is search and Local Services Ads, and retargeting follows.

On booked jobs and revenue assisted, reported with the rest of the paid program.
