Google Ads for deck builders

Deck leads from Google, within weeks.

When a homeowner types “deck builders near me”, they are planning a five-figure project. Google Search Ads put you at the top of that moment, and they start producing within the first few weeks.

Proven playbook

We run search ads for fence and deck contractors every day, including a Denver client averaging about $30 per booked lead in one of the country's most competitive markets. Deck campaigns follow the same playbook, aimed at bigger job values.

How we run ads

Every dollar aimed at a deck buyer.

Search campaigns only

No display networks, no vague awareness spend. Your budget goes to people actively searching for deck work.

Landing pages that convert

Every click lands on a page with your builds front and center, built to turn it into a call or a form fill. See our deck websites.

Negative keyword filtering

DIY researchers, job seekers, and material-only shoppers get filtered out before they cost you a click.

Full call and form tracking

Every lead is tracked to its source. You know exactly what each booked estimate cost.

Weekly optimization

We cut what wastes budget and push more behind what books builds, every single week.

Your account, your data

The ad account belongs to you. Full transparency, and you keep it all if we ever part ways.

Deck math: fewer leads needed, bigger jobs won.

We recommend a budget of about $100 a day, roughly $3,000 a month, paid directly to Google. Deck leads tend to cost more than fence leads because the projects are bigger, and that is exactly why the math works. A composite deck build runs $10,000 to $25,000 and up. At those job values, even one closed lead can pay for months of advertising.

A brand-new ad account often starts around 40 leads a month while it learns. A tuned account typically produces 100 to 150 depending on market and budget. Track it all the way to booked builds and judge the account on cost per job, not cost per click.

Why specialist ads beat generalist ads

A generalist agency learns decking on your budget. We already know which deck keywords buy projects and which attract DIY researchers, because we run these campaigns every day and one of our founders runs a fence and deck company himself. That head start usually shows up in the first month's cost per lead.

Ads now, SEO for later

Ads are the fast lever, especially heading into spring. For the long game, our deck builder SEO builds rankings that produce leads without a price tag on each one. Also install fences? See fence company Google Ads.

Common questions

Deck ads questions, answered.

How much do deck leads cost?

Deck leads generally run higher than fence leads because project values are higher, commonly in the $40 to $100 range depending on market. At $10,000 to $25,000 job values, the return math is strong.

How fast will I see leads?

Generally within the first few weeks. New accounts start slower while Google learns, then volume builds as we optimize.

When should a deck builder start ads?

Before the season, not during it. Accounts that start in late winter are tuned and cheap by the time spring search volume surges.
