HVAC Google Ads Agency

The Tradesmen Agency has generated over $3 million 

GET FREE GOOGLE ADS AUDIT

Your business has two seasons. Most ad accounts run like it has one.

The first real heat wave and the first hard freeze are the two weeks your phone should be unmanageable. Between them are shoulder months where nobody thinks about their system at all.

Almost every HVAC account we audit spends the same in April as in July. That underfunds the two windows that produce your year and pays full price for clicks in months homeowners aren’t buying.

We own trade businesses. We run our own accounts before we run yours.

What breaks in an HVAC Google Ads account

A flat budget across a bimodal year

The two spikes are underfunded and the shoulders are overfunded. This is the single most expensive structural mistake in HVAC paid search, and it is invisible in a monthly report because the average looks fine.

Repair and replacement sharing a campaign

“AC not blowing cold” and “cost to replace furnace” are different buyers. One is urgent and price-insensitive at $400. The other is a considered $12,000 purchase with financing and three quotes.

Averaged into one campaign, your bids are too low to win the replacement work and too high for the repair calls.

Measuring tune-ups instead of systems sold

An $89 tune-up doesn’t make you money. It gets a technician in front of a fifteen-year-old system, and a percentage of those become replacements.

Campaigns measured on cost per tune-up look excellent and tell you nothing, because the tune-up was never the revenue. We’ve seen accounts run profitably on paper for two quarters while losing money on the only number that mattered.

No Local Service Ads running

LSA sits above every paid search result with a Google Guarantee badge and charges per lead rather than per click. In a category where clicks run $10 to $50, that pricing model matters.

Most HVAC companies we audit either aren’t running LSA or are running it unmanaged alongside search, with the two bidding against each other instead of coordinating.

Nothing running in the shoulder months

Budget gets cut to near zero in spring and fall because “nobody needs HVAC.” Meanwhile indoor air quality, duct work, humidifiers, and maintenance plans sell year round and have almost no competition in those months.

Past customers never targeted

You know when every system you installed went in. A twelve-year-old unit is a replacement conversation waiting to happen, and almost nobody uploads that list.

Emergency calls routed through a website

A homeowner with no heat at 9pm on a phone does not want to browse. Call-only ads dial you directly on a mobile tap, and most HVAC accounts never run them.

How we build an HVAC Google Ads account

Campaigns split by intent, not by service

Emergency and repair

No heat, no AC, not blowing cold, furnace not working. Call-only formats, aggressive bids, after-hours bid adjustments, and no landing page in the path.

System replacement and install

Furnace replacement cost, new AC unit, heat pump installation. Standard search, longer landing pages carrying financing and efficiency comparisons, bids matched to a multi-week decision window.

Maintenance and tune-ups

The front end of your replacement funnel. Bid it knowing what a tune-up is worth downstream, not what it’s worth on the invoice.

Indoor air quality

Duct cleaning, air purification, humidifiers, filtration. The shoulder-season play. Demand is weather independent and competition drops off exactly when your other campaigns go quiet.

Tightly themed ad groups inside each campaign

AC repair and furnace installation should not share an ad group. Tight keyword-to-ad-to-landing-page matching raises Quality Score, which lowers your cost per click across the whole account.

In a category with $10 to $50 clicks, a Quality Score improvement is worth more than any bid adjustment you can make.

Seasonal budget curves with pre-season loading

Loading ahead of demand

We scale into the weeks before the first heat wave and the first hard freeze, because homeowners start researching replacement before the system fails. The estimate booked in early spring is the system installed in June.

Shoulder-month reallocation

Budget moves to indoor air quality and maintenance rather than sitting idle. Those months are the cheapest clicks you will buy all year.

Customer Match for past customers

Upload your customer list and target it directly. Two plays this enables:

Maintenance reminders

Annual service prompts to people who already trust you. The cheapest revenue in your business.

Replacement targeting on system age

You know install dates. Segment anyone with a system past twelve years and run replacement messaging to that list specifically. These are the highest-converting impressions available to an HVAC company and almost nobody uses them.

Local Service Ads and search, coordinated

LSA captures the top of the page on pay-per-lead pricing. Search captures the replacement and install research LSA doesn’t serve well. We budget them against each other rather than letting them compete for the same customer.

Negative keywords installed before launch

DIY and informational

DIY, how to, fix myself, troubleshoot, error code, reset, manual, wiring diagram.

Employment and training

Jobs, hiring, salary, careers, apprenticeship, EPA certification, HVAC school.

Retail and parts

Home depot, lowes, amazon, filter, capacitor, thermostat, parts, used, refurbished.

Landing pages per service line

Furnace replacement traffic hits a furnace replacement page with financing on it. Duct cleaning traffic sees duct cleaning.

Each page names your service area, shows your license and Google Guarantee status, and puts a click-to-call button above the fold on mobile.

Tracking that follows the job to close

Call tracking

Dynamic number insertion, so you know which keyword produced which call. Non-negotiable in a trade where most conversions are phone calls.

Conversion tracking

Every form and chat interaction through Google Tag Manager, with calls and forms both set as primary.

Offline conversion import

When a $12,000 system sells six weeks after a tune-up click, that revenue feeds back into Google’s bidding. The algorithm then learns which keywords produce systems rather than which produce tune-ups.

This is the step that decides whether your account compounds or plateaus, and in HVAC it matters more than in any other trade because the gap between the first click and the real revenue is the widest.

What we report

Cost per booked call and cost per system sold. Tune-up to replacement conversion rate. Spend split between repair and replacement. LSA lead cost against search lead cost.

Not impressions. Not click-through rate. Not a dashboard screenshot with a green arrow on it.

What it costs

Google Ads management

$2,500 a month, flat.

What’s included

Google Ads and Local Service Ads managed together. Campaign build and restructure, seasonal budget curves, Customer Match list management, negative keyword management, call tracking, conversion tracking, offline conversion import, and monthly reporting on cost per system sold.

What to expect on media spend

HVAC clicks run roughly $10 to $50 depending on market and service. Cost per lead lands around $30 to $50 on branded search and $120 to $180 on non-branded.

That branded-to-non-branded gap is why we run brand as its own campaign, and why we will tell you honestly if your budget is too small to justify paying anyone to manage it.

How ad spend is handled

Ad spend is billed to you directly by Google. We never take a cut of the media, and you own the account. If we part ways, you keep the history, the Customer Match lists, and everything the account has learned.

Why us

We own trade businesses. That’s the difference, and most agencies pitching you can’t say it.

Bear Brothers Cleaning is ours. We’ve priced jobs, hired crews, run the phones, and lived with a cost per lead that had to work against real margins. We also run paid search for Plastic Fusion Fabricators and TriHaz Solutions, both industrial operations with long buying cycles and large contracts.

We’ve generated over $3 million in revenue for the businesses we market.

Frequently asked questions

Do Google Ads work for HVAC companies?

Yes, and unusually well, because HVAC carries both emergency intent and high-value replacement work. The catch is that those two need separate campaigns with different bids, ad copy, and landing pages. Accounts running them together underperform on both.

How much do HVAC Google Ads clicks cost?

Roughly $10 to $50 depending on your market and the service. Cost per lead typically lands around $30 to $50 on branded search and $120 to $180 on non-branded, which is why running brand as its own campaign matters.

Should HVAC companies use Local Service Ads or Google Ads?

Both, coordinated. LSA sits above paid search, charges per lead rather than per click, and carries the Google Guarantee badge. Search captures the replacement and install research LSA doesn’t serve well. Run separately and unmanaged, they bid against each other.

How should an HVAC ad budget change through the year?

It should not be flat. Scale into the weeks before the first heat wave and the first hard freeze, when homeowners begin researching, and reallocate through the shoulder months to indoor air quality and maintenance rather than going dark.

Should repair and replacement run in the same campaign?

No. Repair converts on an urgent call in minutes. Replacement converts over weeks with financing and multiple quotes. Different bids, ad copy, landing pages, and measurement.

How do you measure whether HVAC Google Ads are working?

Cost per system sold, not cost per tune-up. A tune-up campaign can look excellent on cost per lead while losing money on replacements. We track the full path from click to installed system using offline conversion import.

Can HVAC companies target past customers with Google Ads?

Yes, through Customer Match. Upload your customer list and run maintenance reminders to it, then segment anyone with a system past twelve years for replacement messaging. Those are the highest-converting impressions available to an HVAC company and almost nobody uses them.

Do you mark up ad spend?

No. Ad spend is billed to you directly by Google and you own the account. We charge a flat $2,500 management fee and never take a cut of the media.

Do you work with HVAC companies outside my area?

We run one HVAC client per market. If we’re already working with someone in your service radius, we’ll tell you on the first call rather than take your money and split the same auction.
