Questions construction companies ask before they hire us.
How long until we see results from construction marketing?
Lead generation campaigns (Google Ads, Meta) start producing within 2–4 weeks. SEO and content compound over 3–9 months. Brand and website projects take 6–8 weeks to ship and pay back over the following year. We map this against your goals in the first scoping call so you know what to expect when.
Do you handle Google Ads management or just account setup?
Both. À la carte, we’ll set up your Google Ads or Meta accounts and hand them off. On a Fractional CMO retainer or Ecommerce Launch package, we manage them ongoing, including budget allocation, creative refresh, conversion optimization, and monthly reporting tied to lead volume and cost-per-acquisition.
Can you help us recruit tradespeople, not just attract clients?
Yes, recruiting campaigns are among our most requested capabilities for trades. We build hiring funnels using the same paid media and creative discipline as a customer-facing campaign. Targeted at journeymen, apprentices, and labourers across Alberta and tracked by application-to-hire conversion.
How is marketing for construction different from other industries?
Cycle length is the biggest difference. Construction sells projects, not products; a single lead is worth $50K–$500K+. The funnel is slower, trust matters more, and visual proof of past work is what closes deals. Generic agency playbooks miss this. After 25 years of marketing Alberta contractors, we don’t.
