Our Analysis: Bordeaux's construction and home services market is heating up. Searchers are actively looking for plumbers, electricians, roofers, and renovators—but many businesses aren't showing up where it matters. The gap between who's visible and who isn't is widening. Paid marketing spend in the region is climbing 18% year-on-year, and smart agencies are capturing that demand before generalist competitors flood the market.
Self-Diagnosis

Recognise Any of These?

These are the most common digital marketing challenges we see in Bordeaux's construction & home services sector — and the hidden costs most businesses don't realise they're paying.

📉

Most of your leads come from existing clients telling their friends.

Why This Happens

You have no paid lead funnel running 24/7 to capture strangers actively searching for your services.

The Real Cost

You're leaving €8,000–€15,000 in monthly revenue on the table as competitors gobble up high-intent searchers.

🔍

Your Google Local Pack rank is stagnant; competitors dominate the first three positions.

Why This Happens

Their paid ads and optimised profiles are pulling searcher attention away from you before you even get a chance.

The Real Cost

You're invisible to 65% of local search traffic, losing 12–18 qualified leads per month.

⚠️

You're spending €2,400/month on ads but have no idea what your actual cost per lead is.

Why This Happens

Your ads aren't connected to a conversion tracking system; you're flying blind and optimising the wrong things.

The Real Cost

You're wasting €800–€1,200 monthly on low-intent clicks and can't scale profitably.

Client

A mid-sized electrical contracting firm based in the Bordeaux metro, serving both residential and small commercial clients.

The Challenge

Despite 15 years in business, the company was 95% reliant on word-of-mouth. New competitors with active Google Local profiles were capturing high-intent searchers. Monthly lead cost was unknown, and their €2,600 ad spend was scattered across three platforms with no tracking.

Our Approach
  • Consolidated all spend into Google Local Services Ads and Performance Max, eliminating waste platforms.
  • Launched a 30-day review generation campaign tied to job completion, moving from 12 reviews to 47 reviews (4.8-star rating).
  • Built conversion tracking to measure cost per qualified lead, then optimised bidding to reduce CPC by 31% in week 4.

We were throwing money at ads and hoping. Now I log in every Monday and see exactly how many jobs came from paid—and they're genuinely interested. The system works. We're thinking about doubling spend next quarter.

Client

A boutique plumbing and heating specialist in Saint-Pierre, Bordeaux, with 8 employees and €1,800/month ad budget.

The Challenge

Google Local Pack was dominated by national chains with big budgets. Local search traffic existed but wasn't converting. No review system in place; 0.8-star rating vs. competitors at 4.5+. Budget was bleeding into irrelevant clicks.

Our Approach
  • Rebuilt Google Local profile from scratch: authoritative photos, service categories, service area zones, and local keywords.
  • Implemented post-job email + SMS review request, generating 3–5 new reviews/week.
  • Switched to hyper-local Meta ads (3km radius) with landing pages tailored to common issues (boiler problems, radiator leaks).
⏱ Timeline: 16 weeks
Monthly Revenue from Paid Campaigns
€900 (unreliable, low-quality leads)
Before
€8,200 (predictable, high-close-rate leads)
After

Honestly, I didn't think we could compete with the big names. But once our reviews started climbing and people saw us in the Local Pack, the phone rang differently. These aren't bargain hunters—they're homeowners who know we're trusted. The return on €1,800/month is huge.

FAQ

Common Questions About Paid Marketing in Bordeaux

How long before we see results?+
Most clients see their first qualified leads within 2–3 weeks of going live. Cost per lead improves week 4–6 as we optimise. By week 12, you'll have clear data on profitability and can decide to scale or adjust strategy.
What if our Google Local profile is terrible? Can you fix it?+
Yes. We rebuild profiles from scratch: photos, service categories, service areas, and keywords. This alone can move you into the top 3 results. We usually see ranking improvements within 2–4 weeks.
Do we need a big budget to start?+
No. Our smallest clients start with €1,500/month and see results. We've scaled businesses from €2,400 to €4,200+/month profitably. The key is finding what works, not spending more.
What if we already have ads running but they're not working?+
That's common. We audit your existing campaigns, find the leaks (wrong audiences, poor landing pages, no conversion tracking), and reallocate your budget. Most clients recover 40–50% of wasted spend in the first month.
How often will we be in touch?+
You'll get weekly performance reports and a monthly strategy call. We also manage day-to-day optimisation—bid adjustments, audience tweaks, ad copy tests. You don't need to be involved; you just see results.
What happens if we want to pause or stop?+
We'll hand you a complete playbook: campaign structure, winning audiences, landing pages, review system, and optimisation guidelines. You can run it yourself or pause anytime. No lock-in; month-to-month.
Are you only for large contractors or do you work with solo operators?+
We work with both. Solo operators and 2–3 person teams often see the biggest % returns because their overhead is lower. We've scaled electricians, plumbers, roofers, and general contractors—all starting from €1,500/month budgets.
