Edison PPC, answered

What a click costs an Edison contractor

An average click on “garage door repair edison” costs $45.92, the highest in the Edison trade table. At that price, tracking and a landing page come before a bigger budget, and Lithium Marketing sets up every Edison Google Ads account in that order.

Pest control clicks in Edison average $31.73 and plumbing $29.98. In Edison, landscaping and electrical clicks cost $11.02 and $5.92. The spread decides where a paid test makes sense: a garage door company needs a tighter page and a smaller test than an electrician.

The Edison market

When Edison demand rises, and how to budget for it

Summers in Edison are hot and humid with frequent rain, and snow falls several times each winter. If your crews work outside or your trade swings with heating and cooling, set the budget from your own call history and give the busy weeks more room than the quiet ones.

55.7% of homes in Edison were built before 1980, so repair and replacement work belongs on the pages a paid campaign sends people to. A remodeler's larger projects should sit in a separate campaign, so a small repair call does not hide a large job.

The first month

The first month inside an Edison Google Ads account

No campaign starts until each call can be traced to its keyword, and the budget follows the calls you already get.

1

Read the account you have

We go through the current campaigns, keep the search terms that produce calls and list the ones that only spend.

2

Put tracking in first

Conversion tags, GA4 and call tracking connect every form and every call to the ad and the keyword that produced it.

3

Give each job its own page

Repair, replacement or installation: each job type gets its own campaign and its own landing page.

4

A daily first month, then a weekly review

Bids and search terms get checked each day for 30 days, then once a week against the budget calendar.

FAQ

Edison Google Ads questions

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].

What starting budget makes sense for Edison?

Start with enough to buy a week of clicks in your busiest service, then judge the page before you raise it. A garage door click here costs far more than an electrical one, so the two trades cannot open with the same number. We set that first figure together and let tracking correct it.

How soon does a new campaign produce leads?

A new campaign can start ringing in its first week with tracking in place, and how many calls follow depends on the trade and the page behind the ad. Most of the early work is subtraction: cut search terms that spend without a call and move that budget to the services that book.

What does Google Ads management cost?

The fee begins at $500 a month, plus ad spend. It moves with the amount you spend, the channels in play and any landing pages we build, and you see the number before a campaign starts.

How long is the Google Ads agreement?

Six months is the opening term, long enough to gather real call data. After that it continues a month at a time, and either of us can close it with 30 days' notice.

What does the monthly report show?

Each campaign gets a line for calls, a line for leads and a cost per lead. If you tell us which of those leads turned into booked work, the report can carry that too, and the next month's budget follows the campaigns that produced jobs, not the ones that only produced clicks.
