The Katy Contractor's Google Ads Playbook
Google Ads & Lead Generation for Katy contractors — built on the Katy market, not a template with the town's name swapped in.
Paid search for Katy only pays off if the clicks turn into booked Katy work. We send Katy traffic to a conversion-built landing page, not your homepage, filter the Katy tire-kickers with negative keywords, and report Katy spend-to-lead every week — with the campaign scoped to a fast-growing, higher-income west-metro market where newer homes drive upgrades, additions, and outdoor builds.
Who you're up against
1,129 construction firms
in Fort Bend County (CBP 2023) — Katy's slice of an 11,882-firm metro, on $1.1B in county construction payroll.

What you get, for Katy
Katy paid search covers search and Local Services Ads scoped to your Katy zips, a conversion landing page (not your homepage), call and form tracking, negatives, weekly tuning, and a plain Katy spend-to-lead report.
Take a Katy general contractor at #12 for "home addition Katy". We scope a Katy campaign to the zips worth working, point the "home addition Katy" traffic at a Katy conversion page instead of the homepage, and wire call tracking — so the Katy ads climb in weeks while the Katy rankings build underneath, both on one report.
Hypothetical scenario for illustration — not a specific client result.
Katy ad management is scoped to your Katy budget and goals, separate from the ad spend itself.

Straight answers
Should I run ads or SEO for my Katy business?
Most Katy contractors do best running both — ads for Katy calls now, SEO for the long game that keeps working after you stop paying. We'll tell you straight which to lead with for your Katy situation.
What ad budget do I need in Katy?
It depends on your trade and the Katy zips you target, but most Katy-area contractors start where a few booked jobs a month clears the Katy spend. We scope the Katy budget to your numbers before you commit a dollar.
How do I know the Katy leads are real?
Every Katy campaign ships with call and form tracking, so each Katy lead is attributed to the ad that produced it. You see Katy spend-to-lead in plain English, not a vanity dashboard.
