What we actually do

Free audit first. Then we only fix what's actually broken.

We don't sell packages. We diagnose your account, show you the math, and propose work only where the cost-per-lead math justifies it. If your Google Ads is structured and your Local Services Ads are humming, we'll tell you. The audit is free either way.

The work, in order

Diagnostic. Rebuild. Capture. Measure.

Each engagement starts with the diagnostic. Everything after that is optional and scope-shaped to what your account actually needs.

Step 01 · Free

The Drain Lead Audit

A written assessment of where your cost-per-lead is leaking. We look at Google Ads structure, Quality Score patterns, Local Services Ads eligibility, GBP completeness, landing-page friction, and call-tracking integrity. You get a document, not a sales call.

Turnaround: 3–5 business days. No login access required.

Step 02

Drain & Sewer Google Ads Management

Restructure into separate ad groups per service line — clogged drains, sewer backup, root intrusion, septic, camera inspection — and split emergency from maintenance so each gets its own budget and bid. Daypart emergency campaigns toward nights and weekends, rewrite ad copy to lift Quality Score, and add negative keywords to stop the bleed. Lead Form Extensions and Meta where the unit economics fit.

Where most accounts see drain cost-per-lead drop 40–60% inside 60 days.

Step 03

Local Services Ads (Google Guaranteed)

The highest-leverage emergency channel in this trade. We handle eligibility, Google Guaranteed verification, budget pacing, and lead disputes so your business carries the green checkmark and a tap-to-call button above the map on the exact searches that convert — sewer backup, emergency drain, septic emergency. Pay per lead, not per click.

Verification can take a couple of weeks up front, then leads start immediately.

Step 04

GBP, Local SEO & Review Velocity

Google Business Profile optimization for the drain and sewer vertical — profile completion, service-area tuning, services list against searcher language, Q&A seeded with the real questions you get on the phone, and a review-velocity system so your count actually moves month over month. Local pack ranking and Google Maps visibility.

Local pack visibility usually moves inside 30 days.

Step 05

Call Tracking & Conversion Attribution

This trade is phone-led — so tracking calls is non-negotiable. Calls, form fills, and booked jobs all attributed back to the keyword and ad group that drove them. If you can't see which campaign is making the phone ring, you can't decide where to spend. Includes Google Ads conversion tracking, GA4 events, call-tracking integration, plus click-to-call and landing-page friction fixes where the diagnostic shows it's needed.

Often the highest-leverage fix in the entire engagement.

Step 06

Monthly Review & Seasonal Optimization

Once the rebuild is in, monthly check-ins on cost-per-lead, Quality Score drift, new keyword opportunities, and the seasonal swings this trade lives by — spring-thaw backups, summer maintenance, fall prep, winter emergencies. We move budget toward the window that's live.

Month-to-month. No annual contracts.

You don't have to take all six. Most operators start with the audit, fix one or two of the highest-leverage items, and decide from there. The diagnostic tells you the order.

The drain marketing year

Demand moves with the seasons. The budget should too.

Drain and sewer demand isn't flat — it spikes and dips on a predictable annual curve. We pre-load creative and shift spend into each window before it opens, instead of reacting after the calls dry up.

Feb – Apr

Spring thaw

Frost heave and snowmelt push backups to their annual peak. Lean into sewer backup and main-line emergency campaigns.

May – Aug

Maintenance season

The plannable window. Camera inspection, root-intrusion detection, and septic pump-outs while homeowners are thinking ahead.

Sep – Oct

Before winter

Pre-freeze prep. Preventive cleaning and camera inspections — get ahead of the problem before the ground locks up.

Nov – Jan

Emergency coverage

Frozen and failing lines. Maximize emergency and after-hours coverage — backup relief and urgent service, dayparted hard.
