Hello,
My name is Brock Helvey and I have been working passionately on my new PW business. I am very confused on how companies are able to use google adwords for pressure washing when the cpc is too high to be profitable?
My current campaign would charge me around $3 per click and with a 2% conversion rate, it will end up costing me $150 to acquire 1 new costumer.
I did the math for my own business and discovered the maximum amount I am willing to pay per costumer from adds is $40. This would mean I would need $0.80 cpc keywords, which even if I used 1000 of these 80 cent keywords, I would only be able to acquire 50 clicks a month or less in my area.
How is google ads possible? What am I misunderstanding? Please help!
Brock, where are you located? There may be some contractors here in your area that give give insightful information. Otherwise, you’ll get a wide array of answers that may not be applicable to your situation at all.
Either I’m an idiot and completely missed your handle or you just changed it.
Conroe. I think there’s a handful of Houston area guys on here and it seems like I recall one guy being from the Woodlands but I don’t remember exactly who they are. If you’re lucky they’ll pop in and give you some help.
I know @dperez runs some type of something in the Houston area. He’s pretty established (understatement of the year right there) so I don’t know if he even advertises but he might know something.
Well, sorry @Brock (I knew I wasn’t an idiot) it looks like Mr. Perez may not be any help at all on this one. He doesn’t put his britches on one leg at a time like the rest of us. He just wakes up and pi$$es excellence.
LOL I feel tired and sore. You’re probably just starting your day because you’re a vampire and whatnot but most of us actually operate in the sunlight and I’m wore out!
Nope, I went to bed late at 11am this morning. Woke up at 3pm and got a truck back on the road that had a fuel pump go out. Decided to stay up and drove to Houston to help out on a large fleet account. I just got in to DFW and I’m working all night doing maintenance at 3 storage locations.
I’m across from a 12 barn stinky chicken house washing frac sand trucks.
Atleast I’m not at a frac sand quarry washing stinky chicken gut trucks I guess.
Both of you amaze me. I’m just 27 and I’d be one grumpy camper if I had to do overnight work. I’m still a growing boy so my sleep is very precious LOL goodnight you lunatics
