58,000 Austin contractors competing for the same leads
Your paid marketing should work harder. Most doesn't. Let's fix that with data-driven strategy built for construction and home services.
📍 Austin Market Insight: Austin's construction and home services market is fragmented. Most businesses still rely on word-of-mouth and outdated referral networks, leaving paid channels severely underutilized. Your competitors who've invested in Google Ads, Facebook, and local paid strategies are capturing 3–5x more qualified leads. The digital maturity gap in this sector is massive—and it's your advantage if you move first.

Recognise Any of These?
These are the most common digital marketing challenges we see in Austin's construction & home services sector — and the hidden costs most businesses don't realise they're paying.
“You're getting leads, but they're tire-kickers or price shoppers, not qualified projects.”
Your paid ads are targeting too broadly or landing on generic pages. No audience segmentation, no intent signals, no social proof visible before the click.
You're spending $4,500/month but converting at 5–7% instead of 15–20%. That's $2,000–$3,000 in wasted budget every single month.
“Competitors appear first in Google Local Pack; your profile is buried or incomplete.”
Your Google Business Profile isn't optimized. No review generation strategy. No consistent posting. Paid ads can't overcome a weak foundation.
You lose 40–60% of high-intent local searches before anyone clicks an ad. Competitors own the free real estate.
“You can't scale profitably. Cost per lead keeps rising, but you don't know why.”
No measurement framework. You're flying blind—no tracking of which keywords, audiences, or campaigns actually produce jobs. You're bidding on gut feel, not data.
You're leaving 25–35% of ROI on the table and can't identify which paid channels to double down on.
How We Get You Results
No mystery. No black box. Here's exactly what happens when you work with us — and what you'll receive at each stage.
Audit & Strategy
Week 1-2We analyze your current paid presence (Google Ads, Facebook, reviews, landing pages) and benchmark you against top performers in Austin's construction market. We identify which traffic sources are actually producing jobs and which are hemorrhaging budget. This includes a deep dive into your Google Business Profile and competitor positioning.
15-page paid marketing audit + 90-day action roadmap with prioritized fixes and channel recommendations
Foundation & Targeting
Week 3-4We fix your targeting and audience architecture. This means setting up proper conversion tracking (which most contractors don't have), creating service-specific audiences, and building lookalike segments from your best past clients. For Austin, we also optimize for hyperlocal intent (zip codes where margins are highest).
Configured Google Ads and Meta accounts with pixel setup, audience segmentation, and conversion tracking live in your CRM
Copy & Creative Refinement
Week 2-5We write and test ad copy that speaks to your actual service buyers—not generic contractor speak. Each ad emphasizes trust signals (licenses, reviews, warranty) and creates urgency around availability or seasonal demand. We build service-specific landing pages that convert at 2-3x industry average.
12+ ad variations per channel, 3–4 custom landing pages, A/B testing schedule for 60 days
Launch & Optimize
Week 5-8Campaigns go live with a measured spend ramp. We monitor daily performance, pause underperforming keywords, scale winning segments, and adjust bids based on conversion data—not impressions or clicks. This is where discipline separates top 15% contractors from the rest.
Live campaigns, daily monitoring dashboard, weekly performance reports with recommended optimizations
Review & Scale Strategy
Week 9-12After 60 days of data, we review lead quality and cost metrics with you. We identify which campaigns and keywords are producing profitable jobs, then double down. We also build your review generation system so your organic (non-paid) authority increases and paid costs decline naturally over time.
Quarterly strategy refresh, profitability report by service type, systematic review-collection plan + automation
After 12 weeks, you'll have predictable, profitable paid traffic feeding your sales pipeline. You'll know exactly which channels deliver jobs at what cost, and you'll have eliminated the guesswork.
Austin Construction & Home Services Success Stories
A mid-sized Austin-based bathroom remodeling company operating in central Austin and surrounding metro areas.
Generating consistent bathroom renovation leads without heavy reliance on Google Local Pack (where they ranked 4th–5th). Monthly ad spend was scattered across three agencies with no unified strategy. Cost per qualified lead sat at $160–$200, and conversion rates were unclear due to poor tracking.
- →Consolidated all paid channels into single Google Ads and Meta account with unified conversion tracking tied to job close data
- →Created service-specific audience segments (bathroom remodels vs. kitchen updates) and hyperlocal targeting for Zilker, Barton Hills, and East Austin—their highest-margin markets
- →Built custom landing pages for each service with testimonial videos, before-and-afters, and clear ROI messaging (cost-free estimate, warranty, financing options)
“We were throwing money at Google without knowing which ads were actually producing jobs. Omakaase gave us clarity and a system. Within 4 months, our cost per lead dropped by almost 40%, and we could finally scale without fear. This is the best investment we've made in the business.”
A family-owned HVAC and electrical services contractor in North Austin, serving both residential and small commercial clients.
Heavy reliance on word-of-mouth and seasonal spikes made revenue unpredictable. Competitors with structured Google Local Services Ads were capturing high-intent emergency calls. No paid strategy existed; all digital spend was ad-hoc and untracked.
- →Set up Google Local Services Ads with full licensing/insurance verification and emergency service targeting (24/7 messaging for AC/heat failures, especially seasonal peaks)
- →Implemented automated review request system tied to job completion and CRM; grew Google reviews from 34 to 118 in 90 days, improving Local Pack ranking to position #2
- →Created seasonal paid campaigns (spring cooling prep, winter furnace checks, summer emergency ads) with dynamic budgets and conversion tracking by service type
“Before, we'd have dead months and crazy months with no control. Now we've got a system that keeps the phone ringing year-round. The review system alone has changed how people see us—we went from a small outfit to a trusted, established company in customers' eyes. And the paid ads just amplify that.”
