Why Core6

Contractors don't care about ad jargon.
They care about phones ringing.

Here's what separates a Core6 ad campaign from one that just burns your budget and calls it marketing.

01

Built for your specific service area

We geo-target down to the ZIP codes you actually work — so your budget doesn't go to clicks from cities you'd never take a job in.

02

High-intent keywords only

We target how homeowners actually search when they're ready to hire — not broad terms that attract browsers. Every keyword is chosen to bring in buyers, not traffic.

03

Conversion tracking tied to real results

Every campaign is fully equipped with call tracking and form tracking. You know exactly which ads are generating leads — not just impressions or clicks.

04

No long-term contracts

We earn your business every month by delivering results you can see. No 12-month lock-ins, no cancellation fees — just performance that speaks for itself.

05

AI-enhanced, human-managed

We use AI tools to accelerate targeting and optimization — but every decision is reviewed and approved by a strategist who knows your trade and your market.

06

Monthly reporting you can actually read

You get a plain-English summary of what ran, what worked, what didn't, and what we're doing about it — every month, without needing a marketing degree to follow along.

How it works

A proven process.
No guesswork.

We don't just run ads — we build campaigns with a clear strategy behind every decision. Here's exactly how a Core6 PPC engagement runs from day one.

Let's Talk PPC Strategy
1
Campaign & Market Audit

We review what's working — and what's costing you money

We start by evaluating your current ad presence (if any) and analyzing your competitors' campaigns to identify gaps, wasted spend, and opportunities where your business can take immediate ground.

2
Keyword & Audience Research

We find the searches that actually convert into booked jobs

Using AI-enhanced tools, we uncover the high-intent keywords homeowners use when they're ready to hire — not just browsing. Paired with precise location and demographic targeting, every ad dollar is pointed at the right person at the right moment.

3
Ad Copy & Creative

We write ads that speak to homeowners ready to hire right now

We craft conversion-focused headlines and descriptions that match your audience's intent and your service offering. Every word is written to get the click that becomes a call — not just an impression.

4
Geo-Targeted Campaign Setup

Your ads only run where you want the work

Whether you serve one city or several counties, we configure campaigns to target only the ZIP codes and service areas you want. Your budget stays where it belongs — on real prospects, not wasted impressions outside your market.

5
Conversion & Call Tracking

Every lead is traced back to the ad that generated it

Full call tracking, form tracking, and performance monitoring are installed before a single ad goes live. You'll always know which campaigns are driving real results — and we'll use that data to optimize relentlessly.

6
Ongoing Optimization

We keep improving — month over month, without being asked

Campaigns are monitored and refined continuously. Each month you get a plain-English report covering what ran, what worked, and exactly where we're focusing next to push your ROI further.

What's included

Built to perform — not just to run.

Every Core6 PPC campaign includes the tools and tactics that actually move the needle for home service contractors.

Precision Keyword Targeting

We identify the highest-converting search terms in your market so your ads show up for the right jobs, in the right areas, at the right time.

Geo-Targeted Campaigns

Your ads only run in the ZIP codes and service areas where you want the work — not a pixel beyond your actual territory.

Real-Time Performance Monitoring

Campaigns are watched continuously. Bids, audiences, and copy are adjusted as the data comes in — not once a month after the damage is done.

Call & Conversion Tracking

Every call and form submission is traced back to the specific ad that generated it — so you know your ROI down to the dollar.

Mobile-Optimized Ad Design

Most homeowners search from their phones. Every ad and landing page is built to load fast and look sharp on any device.

Monthly Plain-English Reporting

No jargon-filled dashboards. You get a clear summary of results, what we're doing next, and why — delivered every month without having to ask.

Campaign types

Smart campaigns built
for local growth.

After managing campaigns across dozens of contractors over many years, we've found two formats that consistently produce quality leads and measurable results.

Format 01

Search Ads

Show up at the exact moment someone in your area searches for your services — "emergency plumber near me," "roof repair in Salinas," "HVAC install Monterey." These high-intent text ads target buyers who are actively looking to hire right now.

Keyword-triggered — ads only show for searches that match your services
Location-targeted to your exact service area
Best for capturing ready-to-buy, high-intent customers
Results visible within days of launch
Format 02

Performance Max

An AI-powered campaign format that automatically finds the best ad placements across multiple search surfaces to drive results. We fine-tune the assets, audience signals, and goals to make it work specifically for your business and market.

AI-optimized placement across multiple high-intent surfaces
Audience signals configured around your ideal customer
Complements Search campaigns to maximize overall reach
Continuously self-optimizing based on conversion data
The Core6 Guarantee

One contractor per trade,
per market. Always.

We don't run competing campaigns for two plumbers in the same city. When Core6 takes on a contractor in your trade and service area, your competition doesn't get access to this system.
