Google captures existing demand, while Meta can create and recapture demand with strong local creative. The right mix depends on service type, geography, budget, seasonality, and how quickly the team can respond to new inquiries.

How much should a contractor spend on advertising?
ServForge sets a planning range after reviewing the service area, target jobs, expected search demand, sales capacity, and acceptable cost per qualified lead. The recommended media budget is specific to the contractor and market rather than a universal benchmark.
Which is better for contractors, Google Ads or Facebook ads?
Google Ads are usually strongest for capturing active search demand. Facebook and Instagram can build demand, showcase project proof, support seasonal offers, and retarget interested homeowners. ServForge recommends one or both based on the campaign objective and available evidence.
How quickly do paid ads generate leads?
Campaigns can begin producing inquiries after launch, but timing and lead quality vary by market, service, budget, offer, competition, and follow-up. ServForge reports early results as directional and waits for enough verified lead data before making broader performance claims.
Do you track which ads actually book jobs?
ServForge tracks calls and form submissions, qualifies lead records where the required data are available, and can connect campaign reporting to booked estimates or jobs when the client's CRM and sales process record those outcomes consistently.
