Paid ads management for fire damage restoration companies
Paid ads management is the part of our work that runs campaigns for your restoration company on Google Ads, Bing Ads (Microsoft Advertising) and Meta Ads (Facebook and Instagram). You choose one, two or three of them. We build the campaigns around the fire jobs you take and the towns you serve, and we keep a running list of searches your account should skip.
The fee is for our work. The click charges are a separate matter, paid by you to the network, and the plans below set out the details. If you want to see the networks one at a time, the Google Ads page is the place to begin.
Where the ads point
What paid ads do for a restoration company, and what they leave alone
An ad is a short piece of text that appears beside or above a network's results. For a restoration company, each one should read like a good label: it says what the service is, who it is for and where the reader goes next. That last part is a page on your site, so paid ads and search pages are planned from one list of job types and towns.
The ads are aimed at services and places. A campaign might name smoke damage cleanup in a particular town, or commercial fire damage restoration for building managers in a county. It is never aimed at a person because of a fire they have had, and we do not build audiences on that basis.
For the commercial side, the readers we write toward are property managers, landlords and building owners, and the ad text is written to suit them.
Management is $895 a month with one network, $1,595 with two and $2,295 with three. The ad budget is not in those figures. You set it, you fund it, and the network charges it to your account.
The three ad networks a fire restoration company can run
- Search ads
Google Ads for fire damage searches
Text ads shown against searches for the jobs you take. Campaigns are built by job type and by town, with the exclusion list kept current and each ad leading to the matching page.
- Separate account
Bing Ads (Microsoft Advertising) for restoration firms
A second search network with an account of its own. It can mirror the Google campaigns or differ from them, depending on the budget you want to set and the towns you want to cover.
- Awareness
Meta Ads (Facebook and Instagram) for a restoration company
Local awareness ads aimed at property managers, landlords and referral partners in your service area. We write the ad text, and you approve it before it runs.
Who holds each part of a fire damage ad account
| Part of the restoration ad desk | Held by | What that means for your firm |
|---|---|---|
| The ad account for your fire damage campaigns | Your company | It is opened under your company's name, and the logins stay with you. |
| The click charges on a fire job campaign | You, paid to the network | The network bills your card for the spend. Our fee never includes it. |
| Campaign layout and ad text for restoration work | Our team, with your approval | We draft by job type and by town, and nothing runs until you have read it. |
| The exclusion list for fire damage searches | Our team | We keep it current, so the budget is not spent on shoppers, job seekers or other trades. |
| Calls and forms from the ads | Read by us, owned by you | Each call and form message is counted against the network that produced it. |
How a paid ads plan is set up for a restoration company
Name the fire jobs and the towns
You list the job types you take, such as residential, commercial, soot cleanup, pack-out and board-up, and the towns where you want to appear. The list becomes the skeleton of the campaigns.
Open the accounts in your company's name
Each network gets an account under your name and billing card. You keep the logins and can look inside at any time.
Write the ads and the exclusion list
We draft the ad text for each network's format, point each ad to the matching page, and build the list of search wording to keep out. You approve the set before it goes live.
Read calls and forms against the click charges
Each month you receive a summary that puts the calls and form messages from each network beside what that network charged. From that reading we adjust the campaigns with you.
What a restoration owner decides before the first ad runs
- The fire job types you want ads written for, in your own words
- The towns and neighborhoods where your crews work and the ads should appear
- How many networks to use, from one to all three
- The monthly ad budget you will set on each network
- The page of your restoration site each ad should lead to
- The line or form that should receive calls and messages from the ads
- Whether commercial fire work, residential fire work or both should be advertised
We turn the answers into campaigns, and we change them whenever your list of jobs or towns changes.
Three beliefs about paid ads for restoration companies
Heard at the pack-out tableA restoration company should aim its ads at people who have just had a fire.
What the inventory sheet saysWe do not build ads that way. Campaigns are aimed at the services you offer and the places you work, and a reader who finds the ad has chosen to look.
Heard at the pack-out tableRunning ads on every network is the right move for any restoration company.
What the inventory sheet saysA single network, well tended, can suit a modest budget. A second or third network earns its place when the pages and the budget can support it. That is why the plans are sold by the number of platforms.
Heard at the pack-out tableThe agency fee pays for the ad clicks as well.
What the inventory sheet saysIt does not. The fee covers our work on the account, and the ad spend is charged by the network to your own card.
