PPC Management
for Painting Contractors.
Painting PPC works on service-type segmentation, in-home estimate lead capture, and offline conversion of signed projects. The accounts that work segment interior vs exterior vs cabinet and run aggressive negative discipline against DIY queries.
The Real Problems
Why Painting Contractors Struggle With Paid Ads.

Estimate booking is leading indicator.

The Long Read
Everything Painting Contractors should know about ppc management.
Painting PPC has a sharp seasonality curve that most accounts mismanage. Exterior painting demand peaks April through October when temperature and humidity allow proper paint cure. Interior demand is more even but spikes in late fall as homeowners turn attention indoors. Cabinet refinishing is largely year-round. We allocate budget by season to match the actual demand curves rather than running flat year-round budgets.
Service-segmented campaigns are the architecture lever. Interior, exterior, cabinet refinishing, deck and fence staining each have different per-project values and different visitor research patterns.
Negative keyword discipline matters because painting attracts a lot of DIY search intent. 'How to paint,' DIY tutorials, paint supplier queries, color-trends content — all need to be negatived out to focus paid spend on hire-someone intent.
Offline conversion integration is what makes the math work. Same telemetry as our GC PPC and across home services.
