Case Study
Google Ads Paves the Way for Asphalt
Overview
The asphalt paving industry is highly competitive, and attracting quality leads through Google Ads can be especially difficult. One of our agency partners came to us with an asphalt contractor who was receiving leads, but they were mostly for small, low-value jobs. The contractor needed a way to attract bigger, more profitable projects. Working closely with our agency partner, we developed a refined Google Ads strategy that focused on targeting higher-value prospects. Through strategic ad copy, smart geographic targeting, and landing page adjustments, we began to shift the lead mix toward larger-scale projects. Within a few months, the contractor's calendar was filling up and his business was expanding.
Challenge
- Existing campaigns were producing mostly small, low-budget leads
- The cost per lead was too high for the quality being delivered
- The client was struggling to keep the business afloat with small jobs
Our Solution
Built tight ad groups with an extensive negative keyword list to exclude low-value searches
Added demographic targeting to focus on audiences more likely to request larger paving projects
Focused budget on ZIP codes with higher income and population density
Advised on landing page copy to better position the business for commercial and large residential projects
Key Results
- Within a few months, the client began consistently landing larger, higher-value contracts
- After six months, the client added a second crew and purchased additional machinery to support growing demand
Conclusion
By refining targeting, tightening campaign structure, and aligning messaging with business goals, we helped this asphalt contractor shift from small jobs to substantial projects. Google Ads became a powerful growth engine, allowing the business to scale quickly and profitably.
