Should I run ads before my website is finished?
No. Paid clicks land somewhere, and if that page has no finish photos, no repair details and no easy form, the money is gone. We build the site and the service pages first, then add ads once there is something worth sending traffic to.
Do drywall contractors qualify for Google Local Services Ads?
It depends on your area, because the available service categories vary. We check before promising anything. Where drywall is covered, we handle screening and the profile. Where it is not, the budget goes to standard search ads and your Google Business Profile instead.
Are ads better for repairs or for basement projects?
Repairs respond faster. Someone with a punched wall or a ceiling stain searches and calls the same day, so search ads convert quickly. Basement finishing takes longer and works better with Meta ads showing your finish work, since those homeowners are still planning rather than searching.
Who pays for the ad spend?
You do, directly. The ad platforms bill your own card, so you see exactly what was spent and you keep control of the account. Vevang Sites manages the campaigns, the landing pages and the tracking. Nothing about the spend is hidden inside a bundled invoice.
Can you guarantee a certain number of drywall leads?
No, and nobody honestly can. Rankings and ad results depend on your market, competing contractors, your budget and the season. What we control is tight targeting, pages that match each search, and tracking that shows which ads produced real calls so the budget keeps moving toward what works.
How do I know a call came from an ad?
Call tracking numbers and form tracking tie each lead back to its source. You can see whether the patch call came from a search ad, a Meta ad or your Google Business Profile, and whether it turned into a booked estimate.
Will Meta ads work for a drywall business?
They work for the planning side. Photos of a finished basement, a smooth ceiling after popcorn removal, or a patch that disappeared into matched texture get attention from homeowners in your radius. Expect slower inquiries than search, and expect them to be larger jobs.
Should I advertise to builders and general contractors too?
Usually not with the same campaign. Builders find hang-and-finish crews through referrals and by checking your site for crew size and project scope. Keep a contractor page ready for that, and spend ad budget where homeowners are actively searching.
