The Challenge

Quicker Rooter's Google Ads account was running as a single, broad search campaign sending every click back to general service pages rather than the specific job a homeowner was searching for. With emergency plumbing, drain cleaning, Poly B replacement, and every other service all competing inside one generic structure, ad relevance suffered, cost per click stayed high, and the account wasn't converting its existing budget into the call volume Quicker Rooter needed to keep crews busy. The goal wasn't a bigger budget, it was getting more out of the budget already being spent.

The Solution

We built seven dedicated landing pages on a fast, ad-only subdomain, each paired with its own ad group and keyword set covering Quicker Rooter's highest-intent services: emergency plumbing, drain cleaning, Poly B replacement, sewer repair, toilet installation, and more. A homeowner searching for drain cleaning now lands on a drain cleaning page built around that exact job, not a general homepage.

Alongside the new pages, we rebuilt the core search campaign around 118 tightly themed keywords and layered in 78 negative keywords to cut wasted spend, pairing each ad group with a fresh responsive search ad written specifically for that service. Tighter keyword, ad, and page alignment meant Google could charge less per click and show the ads higher, which is exactly what happened.

The combined effect showed up in auction performance. Search impression share rose 28% and top-of-page impression share climbed 16%, while the share of impressions lost to poor ad rank fell by a fifth. More Calgary homeowners are seeing Quicker Rooter first, without Quicker Rooter paying more to get there.

All Around Success for Quicker Rooter

The campaign converted directly into business, not just traffic. CallRail tracked 119 calls from paid search, and 39 of those flowed back into Google Ads as recorded call conversions, giving Smart Bidding real signal to optimize toward instead of guessing from clicks alone. At Quicker Rooter's typical 90% close rate, that call volume worked out to roughly 107 booked jobs, for a return on ad spend of approximately 414%.

That growth came without a bigger budget. Ad spend increased by just 2% between the two 30-day periods, while cost per click fell 47% and click-through rate climbed 56%, so the same spend is now turning into more calls and booked jobs rather than more expensive clicks. The account also won more of the auctions that mattered, with search impression share up 28% and top-of-page impression share up 16%, putting Quicker Rooter in front of more Calgary homeowners without paying more to get there.
