What you get

What Our Excavation Google Ads Service Includes

High-Intent Keyword Targeting

Land clearing, grading, driveway, septic, and trenching terms in your service area. Negative lists so you stop paying for equipment rental, operator jobs, and DIY searches.

Landing Pages Built for the Call

A page per service with one job: get the caller to book a site visit. Click-to-call, a short form asking for lot size and access, and finished-job photos above the fold.

Full Tracking Setup

Call tracking, GA4, Google Tag Manager, and offline conversion import so the account optimizes toward booked jobs, not clicks.

Budget Control

Homeowner and builder campaigns run separately, so a backyard drainage job does not compete with a full site package.

Local Services Ads

Google Guaranteed listings at the top of the page where your category qualifies, managed alongside Search so the two do not compete.

Weekly Optimization

Search term reviews, bid adjustments, and ad tests every week. A plain-English update on cost per lead every month.

Straight answers

Excavation Google Ads FAQ

Short, honest answers. If yours is not here, ask us directly.

Still Have a Question?

Book a 20-minute call. You will talk to Brady, not a sales rep, and leave with a straight answer.

How much does Google Ads cost for an excavation contractor?

Your ad budget goes straight to Google and is separate from our management. We size it from your average job size, your machine capacity, and how competitive your area is, then track every dollar to booked jobs.

Should I run Local Services Ads or Search Ads?

Usually both where LSAs are available for your category. LSAs put a Google Guaranteed badge at the top of the page. Search Ads give you control over every other term. We manage them together.

How fast will Google Ads bring calls?

Most excavation accounts get their first bid requests within the first 2 weeks of going live. The first month gathers data, then we scale the services that actually get signed.

Do you need access to my Google Ads account?

Yes. We work inside your own account so you always own the data and history. If you do not have one, we set it up in your name.
