Your competitors are winning Google Local Pack. We show you how to outbid them—and cut your cost-per-lead in half.
📍 Marseille Market Insight: Marseille's construction and home services sector relies heavily on word-of-mouth and local reputation, leaving a massive digital pipeline gap. With 45,000 SMBs competing for attention across maritime, tourism, and logistics hubs, paid advertising has shifted from optional to survival. The businesses winning right now are those with disciplined Google Local campaigns, structured review systems, and predictable lead funnels. Most agencies in Marseille treat paid ads as a spend-and-pray exercise—we treat it as a science.

Industry Benchmarks
Recognise Any of These?
These are the most common digital marketing challenges we see in Marseille's construction & home services sector — and the hidden costs most businesses don't realise they're paying.
“Your phone rings less than it should, despite paying for ads.”
Your ad targeting is too broad. You're reaching people in Toulon and Aix when you should own Vieux-Port and Euroméditerranée. Poor audience segmentation burns 40% of budget on tire-kickers.
€880/month wasted on unqualified clicks. Over a year: €10,560 in dead spend.
“Competitors appear first in Google Local Pack. You're buried on page 2.”
Their Google Business Profile is optimised with photos, posts, reviews, and service area data. Yours has 3 reviews from 2021. Google's algorithm rewards trusted, active profiles—yours signals abandonment.
You lose 60% of local search traffic. In Marseille's market, that's 8–12 qualified leads per month you'll never see.
“Ad spend keeps climbing but lead quality hasn't improved.”
You have no system for converting leads or generating reviews. Each enquiry is handled ad-hoc. No follow-up automation. No review request workflow. Prospects ghost you; those who convert rarely leave feedback.
Your ads run at 2.1x ROAS when top performers hit 5.8x. On €2,200/month spend, you're leaving €7,200 in potential monthly revenue on the table.
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 & Competitive Map
Week 1–2We analyse your current ad accounts, landing pages, and conversion tracking setup. Simultaneously, we map 8–12 of your direct competitors across Google Local, Meta, and search. For Marseille construction firms, this includes reviewing their Google Business Profiles, review count/quality, service area targeting, and ad creative.
20-page Paid Marketing Audit Report with competitor benchmarks and quick-win recommendations.
Audience & Geo-Targeting Strategy
Week 3–4We define your ideal customer profile (homeowner, property manager, contractor) and map service areas by profitability. Using Marseille's district data (Vieux-Port, Euroméditerranée, suburbs), we create hyper-local audience segments. We identify which keywords and search intents convert best for your service type.
Audience segment breakdown, keyword strategy document, geo-targeting implementation plan.
Campaign Build & Optimisation
Week 5–6We launch Google Local Services Ads, search campaigns, and retargeting on Meta. Each campaign is seeded with your best messaging and landing page variants. We set up conversion tracking (phone calls, form submissions, quote requests) and establish a 21-day optimisation sprint to improve cost-per-lead.
Live campaigns, conversion tracking setup, initial performance dashboard.
Review Generation & Trust Building
Week 7–8Paid ads only work if prospects trust you. We implement an automated review request system post-job completion or post-call. We guide you on responding to reviews and use review signals in your ad targeting. For Marseille's competitive market, visible social proof is the differentiator.
Review request workflow automation, review response templates, trust audit.
Reporting & Continuous Improvement
Week 9+ (ongoing)Starting week 8, you receive weekly performance summaries (leads, cost-per-lead, ROAS). We run monthly optimisation sprints: pausing low-performers, scaling winners, A/B testing ad copy and landing pages. Adjustments are data-driven, not guesswork.
Weekly performance reports, monthly strategy calls, quarterly roadmap updates.
After 12 weeks, you'll have a predictable, low-cost lead generation engine running on paid ads. Most clients see cost-per-lead drop 40–60% and ROAS improve from 2.1x to 4.2x+ within 6 months. You'll own your local market on Google and Meta.
Marseille Construction & Home Services Success Stories
A family-owned plumbing and heating installation business based in Euroméditerranée, operating across greater Marseille.
Despite 15 years of reputation, they relied entirely on word-of-mouth and local referrals. One competitor had dominated Google Local Pack with 340+ reviews and aggressive paid ads. Their own Google Business Profile showed zero reviews and hadn't been updated in 18 months. They were losing 5–8 qualified leads per month to SERPs alone.
- →Rebuilt and optimised their Google Business Profile with high-quality photos, service descriptions, and 2-week service area updates.
- →Launched geo-targeted Google Local Services Ads and search campaigns, focusing on service keywords: 'emergency plumber Marseille', 'boiler repair near me', 'central heating install'.
- →Implemented automated post-job review request workflow via SMS and email; trained staff on review response protocol.
“We were sceptical about paid ads—thought it was money burning. But Omakaase showed us we were already known locally; we just needed to show up where people were searching. The review system alone changed everything. Now customers find us first, and they come pre-sold.”
A mid-sized electrical contracting firm serving commercial and residential clients across Marseille, Vieux-Port, and surrounding logistics hubs.
They had a website and sporadic social media posts, but no structured paid advertising. Google Ads account was dormant. Competitors' ads were showing up for 'commercial electrician Marseille' and 'industrial electrical services'. They were winning only 15% of RFQs they received, and most leads came from cold calls to facilities managers—low-volume, high-effort sales.
- →Audited and restructured Google Ads account; created separate campaigns for residential, commercial, and industrial keywords with distinct landing pages and bid strategies.
- →Launched Facebook/Instagram lead gen campaigns targeting property managers and facilities directors in Marseille metro; tested various creative angles (safety, speed, certifications).
- →Established CRM integration and lead follow-up sequence; tracked lead quality by source and adjusted ad spend allocation weekly.
“We didn't realise how fragmented our lead generation was until Omakaase mapped it. Once we had a proper system—right audience, right message, right follow-up—leads became predictable. We're now planning to hire two more engineers because we actually have enough work.”
