Industries · Remodeling contractor marketing

Booked estimates for remodelers. Not a pile of tire-kickers.

Kitchen, bath and whole-home remodels are high-ticket, slow decisions. We build campaigns that bring in homeowners with real projects and budgets, and we project what a booked design consultation should cost before you spend.

By project type

Every project is its own campaign.

Kitchens, baths and additions attract different homeowners with different budgets and timelines. We separate them so each is measured on its own cost per booked consultation.

The short answer

How do remodeling contractors get more leads?

Remodeling contractors get the most qualified leads from Google Search and Local Services Ads for people actively planning a project, supported by Meta and YouTube that keep the company in front of homeowners during the months they compare options.

The leads only matter if they turn into booked consultations at a budget you can work with. We qualify on project type, timeline and budget before a lead reaches your team, and we track all the way to the booked appointment.

Speed matters more in remodeling than most owners think. We help set up a callback process so new leads hear from you in minutes, not days.

The number we manage to

Cost per booked consultation, against what a project is worth.

A remodeling lead is not a job. We report cost per booked design consultation or in-home estimate, because that is the number you can compare to your close rate and average project value.

With a five-figure average ticket, the affordable cost per appointment is often far higher than owners expect. The projection shows the ceiling before you spend.

Example remodeling math
Average project value$45,000
Consultation-to-sale rate25%
Revenue per booked consultation$11,250
Target cost per booked consultation≤ $250
Consultations from $5,000 ad spend~20

Example math only. Your written projection uses your own numbers, market and history.

Lead qualification

The questions that separate projects from browsers.

A short set of questions before booking saves your team hours every week and teaches the campaign which homeowners to find more of.

We tune the wording to your process, but these are where most remodelers start.

What we ask before booking

  • Which room or project are you planning?
  • When would you like to start?
  • Do you own the home?
  • What budget range are you working with?
  • Would you like to visit the showroom or meet at home?
What we run

Remodeling marketing built around the booked consultation.

GS

Google Search

Project-level campaigns for kitchen, bathroom, ADU and whole-home searches in your service area, with negatives that filter out DIY and jobs searches.

LS

Local Services Ads

Google Guaranteed placement at the top of the page, paid per lead, managed and disputed so you only pay for real ones.

ME

Meta & Instagram

Before-and-after creative and showroom video that reaches homeowners months before they call, plus lead forms with qualifying questions.

LP

Landing pages

Project-specific pages with financing, process and proof, built to turn a click into a booked consultation.

QL

CL

Callback speed

Instant text and call alerts, so a homeowner hears from you while they are still comparing contractors.

Speed to lead

The first contractor to call usually gets the appointment.

Homeowners often reach out to several remodelers. We set up the process so you are first.

0–5 minutes

Instant alert

Your team gets a text and email with the lead’s project and budget answers.

Same hour

First call and text

Call, and if no answer, a friendly text confirming you received the request.

Day 1–3

Follow-up

Two more attempts with a showroom or in-home time offered.

Ongoing

Nurture

Homeowners not ready yet stay on a gentle follow-up until they are.

Where budgets leak

Where remodeling ad budgets usually go.

Remodeling accounts waste money in predictable places. Most of it is fixable in the first two weeks.

What we fix first

  • Broad keywords like “remodel” that pull in DIY, jobs and supply searches
  • No budget or timeline questions on lead forms
  • Leads waiting a day or more for a callback
  • One generic landing page for every project type
  • Reporting leads instead of booked consultations and signed projects

Remodeling marketing questions

Remodeling advertising, answered plainly.

What is the best advertising for remodeling contractors?

For most remodelers, Google Search and Local Services Ads bring in homeowners actively planning a project, while Meta and Instagram build demand with before-and-after work. Measure booked consultations and signed projects, not leads.

How much does a remodeling lead cost?

It depends on market, project type and how well leads are qualified. More useful is cost per booked consultation: divide your target marketing cost per project by your consultation-to-sale rate. Our projection does this with your numbers.

How do I get better quality remodeling leads?

Target project-specific searches, exclude DIY and job seekers, ask budget and timeline questions on forms, and call back within minutes. Quality improves fastest when the campaign is optimized to booked appointments rather than form fills.

Do you run Local Services Ads for remodelers?

Yes. We set up and manage Google Local Services Ads where your trade is eligible, and dispute invalid leads so you only pay for real ones.

How does the free 30-day Sprint work?

For qualified businesses we run your first campaign free for 30 days. You cover ad spend only, with a $1,500 minimum, and our fee is $0. We agree a success number in writing before launch and you decide at day 30.

Should kitchens and bathrooms be separate ad campaigns?

Yes. They attract different homeowners at different price points. Separate campaigns let you set the right budget and measure cost per booked consultation for each.

What questions should remodelers ask on lead forms?

Project type, timeline, home ownership, budget range and preferred meeting type. Five short questions filter out most unqualified leads without hurting volume much.
