Water and fire damage restoration companies · Pay per click advertising

The two o'clock search goes to whoever bought the top of the screen.

Paid search for a restoration company is the only channel that works at two in the morning, and the most expensive one to run badly. GullySales weights the spend to nights, weekends and the weeks the weather turns, separates the loss types, and follows each call through to a job.

What pay per click advertising means

Pay per click advertising (PPC) is paying a fee each time someone clicks your advert on Google or another platform. It puts you at the top of a search page immediately, instead of waiting for ranking to build. GullySales sets the targeting, writes the ad text and checks spend against enquiries received.

For water and fire damage restoration companies

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “Budget by forecast, not by month”

    A hard freeze fills ten days of schedule. A flat daily cap hands the same money to April, when nobody's pipes are bursting.

  • “A mould click and a flood click are worth different money”

    One is a crew leaving tonight, the other is a quote in a fortnight. Run them together and you cannot tell which is paying.

  • “Local Services Ads sit above everything you buy”

    Google's screened listing appears over the ordinary ads on restoration searches. Getting through that background check beats any bid increase.

What we do

What we deliver for water and fire damage restoration companies.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. Spend weighted to nights, weekends and freeze weeks

    Bids raised after six in the evening and across Saturday and Sunday, with a prepared schedule switched on when a hard freeze appears in the forecast.

    Result: Money goes out while the water is still moving.

  2. Campaigns split by loss type

    Water, fire, mould, sewage and reconstruction kept apart with their own budgets, so an emergency search cannot spend the money meant for quotes.

    Result: You can see what each kind of loss costs to win.

  3. Call-only ads for the phone already in the homeowner's hand

    Ads that dial straight through on mobile for emergency searches, with no form and no page between the homeowner and your dispatcher.

    Result: Nobody types an address while standing in water.

  4. Local Services Ads applied for and kept live

    The background check, licence and insurance documents filed, the profile kept current, and any disputed lead challenged inside the window.

    Result: You appear above the ads you are paying for.

  5. Negative keywords against renters, coursework and lawyers

    Blocks on drying carpet myself, restoration training, water damage attorney and rental deposit, checked against the search terms report.

    Result: Your budget stops funding people who will never call.

  6. Every call traced to a job and a source

    A tracking number per campaign, matched to your job list so spend sits beside mitigation revenue and rebuilds signed.

    Result: The account is judged on jobs, not on calls.

How the result is measured

  • Cost per click
  • Cost per enquiry
  • Enquiries from paid search

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Searches to bid on and block

The searches worth paying for as a restoration company, and the ones to keep out.

Emergency searches, such as water damage repair near me at night
Bid hardest, as a call-only advert, and run it only when a dispatcher will pick up. A flooded floor does not wait, so a missed call is a lost job and a wasted click.
Loss-type searches, such as fire and smoke cleaning or sewage backup
Bid in separate ad groups. Each loss needs a different crew, equipment and quote, so a fire click should not draw on the water budget, and the page should describe that loss only.
Insurance claim searches, such as water damage insurance claim help
Bid carefully. Say that you document the loss and photograph it for the claim. Do not say what an insurer will pay or approve, because that is the insurer's decision.
Do-it-yourself and training searches, such as drying a wet carpet myself
Block, together with restoration course, franchise and equipment hire. These people are solving it themselves or want to join the trade, and neither will book a crew.
Where the click lands
Send an emergency click to a mobile page with a tap-to-call button first, and your service area and answering hours second. Longer pages with photos suit the quote searches, not the flood.
Counting a real enquiry
Count a call that a person answered and that ended in a crew dispatched or an assessment booked. Log missed calls, and calls from suppliers or other restorers, separately so they do not pass as leads.

How it works

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. First

    Your brief

    You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.

  2. After the brief

    A conversation and a written scope

    We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.

  3. Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.

  4. After the baseline

    The first fix goes live

    The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.

  5. As agreed

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.

  6. At renewal

    Renew on the numbers

    The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

How the pay per click advertising work runs

  1. 1

    Understand the total budget

    We agree the full paid advertising budget available across all platforms, rather than planning each one separately.

  2. 2

    Audit current platform performance

    We compare existing campaigns on a shared basis to see where the budget currently performs best and worst.

  3. 3

    Build the cross-platform plan

    Campaigns are structured across platforms with a shared measurement standard from the outset.

  4. 4

    Implement and monitor

    Campaigns run with budget allocated dynamically based on real-time performance.

  5. 5

    Measure and reallocate

    We report performance and shift budget toward what is working, within agreed limits.

    Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.

  • The person on the first call does the work

    No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.

  • A baseline before anything starts

    Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.

  • The fee in writing, split three ways

    Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.

  • No guarantees we cannot keep

    The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.

  • Hours that fit your day, agreed up front

    Which hours we overlap with yours is settled before any work starts, so you know when a reply is coming and when it is not.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
What is a reasonable cost per call for water damage?
Higher than in any trade you compare yourself with, because the job is worth thousands and every competitor knows it. Judge the account on cost per job signed rather than per click. The first conversation puts a starting budget against the losses you need each month.
Should we advertise into a county that has just flooded?
Only to be findable there, and only with your attorney's view first. Several states restrict how property owners may be approached after a declared disaster, and the restrictions differ by state and by method. Being visible to somebody already searching is a different thing from knocking on a door.
Should we advertise for rebuild work as well as emergency dry-out?
Yes, but as its own campaign. A rebuild is a considered purchase made over days, while dry-out is decided in minutes. Mixing them lets the cheap emergency click spend the money meant for the larger quote.
How do we stop paying for calls from suppliers and rival restorers?
You cannot block a caller by word, so read the call log. If the same kind of call keeps arriving, look at which search triggered it and tighten the wording or block that term. Count those calls apart from real jobs.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
