The problem

The problem with most trades marketing.

Most home services businesses run on word of mouth and a busy season, then watch the calendar go quiet. The phone rings less, the quotes dry up, and the budget goes to an agency that reports clicks while the diary stays empty.

We took The Exterminator from a standing start to an 8× return on Facebook and Instagram ads: €1,970 of spend in, €15,766 of tracked revenue out, in 14 weeks. We know what a real enquiry looks like in this market. We build the campaigns, track every lead to the job it became, and tie the spend back to revenue. When you sell to businesses rather than households, our Decision-Maker Pipeline books the calls with the people who approve the spend.

What you get

What's included.

  • Catching local enquiries

    When someone in Malta searches for your service, we make sure you are the name they find. We capture high intent demand and send it to pages built to book the job.

  • Lead generation that fills the calendar

    We build campaigns that put your trade in front of homeowners and businesses who need the work now. Real enquiries you can quote and turn into booked jobs.

  • Ads built for the trade

    We direct the photos, the video, and the copy that make your service look professional and trusted. The kind of work that gets a homeowner to pick up the phone.

  • Lead tracking and follow up

    We set up tracking and automated follow up so no enquiry goes cold. Every lead is logged, chased, and tied back to booked jobs and revenue.

  • Seasonal campaign planning

    Pest, solar, and field service work moves with the seasons. We plan ahead so your spend peaks when demand peaks and you are not paying for quiet months.

  • Plain reporting tied to jobs

    You get reporting in plain terms tied to booked work and cost per lead. You always know what is working and what we are changing next.

The process

How it works.

01

Audit and plan

We look at your service area, your demand, and your current spend, then build a plan around the channels and seasons that bring in real jobs.

02

Build and launch

We build the campaigns, the ads, and the enquiry tracking, then launch with clear goals so we know what a good week of enquiries looks like.

03

Improve

We watch performance closely and move budget toward the campaigns and areas that bring in qualified enquiries at the best cost per lead.

04

Report and scale

We report on what worked in plain terms, then scale the winners so your calendar stays full month after month, season after season.

The proof

The work, by the numbers.

FAQ

Trades marketing, answered straight.

What does marketing for a trades or home services business involve?

Capturing the demand that already exists and handling it properly. Search puts you in front of people with an urgent problem, Facebook and Instagram ads keep you known for the planned jobs, and tracked follow-up makes sure every quote request is chased to a yes or a clear no.

Why do quote requests go unanswered or go cold?

Because they arrive while the team is on site. A homeowner with a leak or an infestation contacts several companies at once and books the first one that responds, so a 5 minute reply and an automated acknowledgement matter more than any change to the ads.

How do you handle seasonal demand?

By planning spend against the season rather than the month. Pest, solar, cooling and field service work all peak predictably, so budget builds ahead of the peak while costs are lower, then holds through it. Quiet months get maintenance spend, not silence.

How do you get better jobs rather than just more calls?

By qualifying in the campaign and on the form. Targeting the services with the best margins, stating what you do and do not take on, and asking about property type, location and timeline filters out the small jobs before they reach your phone.

How is home services marketing measured?

On booked jobs and revenue per lead, not enquiry volume. We track cost per lead alongside how many of those leads became quoted work and then completed work, so you can see which campaigns and which service areas are genuinely worth the spend.
