Penguin Air, Plumbing & Electrical

Penguin Air, Plumbing & Electrical
Problem

A prominent Nexstar member servicing the Phoenix Valley, Penguin Air, Plumbing & Electrical first came to Blue Corona in 2019 in search of a new digital marketing partner. A once well-established brand in the Valley community, Penguin was quickly losing rankings, visibility, and customers to competitors that outranked and outperformed them on search engines. Historically, Penguin grew top-line revenue nearly 40% each year until 2019. Owners Wade and Will were ready to make the leap from the “biggest small guy” in the Valley to big-time players.

Solutions

A digital competitive analysis of Penguin’s online presence revealed multiple areas of opportunity across their website, organic search presence (SEO) and paid media (PPC, specifically).

What’s the Difference Between Local Services Ads and Pay Per Click (PPC)?

There are three primary differences that make Local Services ads unique from PPC advertising for pest control companies.

Pay Per Lead vs. Pay Per Click (PPC)

With Local Services ads, you pay for every lead generated via Local Services. If you don’t generate a qualified lead, you don’t pay Google.

With PPC ads, you pay every time a user clicks on your ad whether they become a lead or not. This gives Local Services ads a better return on your investment.

Google Guaranteed Badge vs. No Google Guaranteed Badge

Businesses advertising on Local Services are awarded a Google Guaranteed badge after passing a rigorous background check. With the badge, you instantly increase your brand’s trustworthiness and become eligible for lead disputes. Google will also refund unsatisfied customers who booked through Local Services ads, helping you save even more money.

Investing in PPC ads (or Google Ads) alone won’t earn you a Google Guaranteed badge or any of the associated benefits.

Lead Disputes vs. No Lead Disputes

Since Local Services ads are pay per lead, you don’t have to pay unless a lead is qualified. If an unqualified lead (e.g., outside of your service area, requesting service you don’t offer, etc.) contacts your business through a Local Services ad, you can dispute the cost of the lead and get your money back from Google.

PPC ads means you pay Google for each click your campaign generates. You can’t dispute a click, even if you don’t generate a lead.

Local Services Ads Ranking Factors

Not every pest control company can rank at the top of the search results. So, Google uses four primary ranking factors (similar to SEO for pest control companies) to determine which businesses rank at the top of Local Services results:

  1. Number of reviews and average rating – Google rewards customer-friendly businesses. The higher your online reviews and the more reviews you generate, the higher your Local Services ads will rank.
  2. Responsiveness – How quickly do you respond to customers who reach out through Local Services ads? The faster you respond, the higher your ad will rank.
  3. Proximity to searchers – Local customers aren’t interested in faraway pest control companies. Google uses your Google My Business listing and other NAP citations to rank your ads higher for customers in your service area.
  4. Maximum bid – Set your bid strategy to maximum bid per lead or to maximize leads to optimize your campaigns and generate calls from qualified customers. Learn more about Google’s Local Services bidding options.

Optimizing your Local Services ads for Google rankings can be technical. Avoid the hassle with Blue Corona. Our team will optimize your ads for you, ensuring you climb to the top of the search result pages without taking precious time out of your already-busy schedule.
