Contractor marketing for HVAC, plumbing, electrical and roofing companies. Shmeer gets you found in the map pack, on Google Ads and in AI answers, gives you a website that turns phone visitors into calls, and makes sure every one of those calls gets answered, day or night.
When a furnace dies, a pipe bursts or the power goes out, homeowners search on their phone, look at the map and the reviews, and call. The first company that answers, and sounds like it can help, usually wins the job. Everyone else paid for a lead they never got.
Demand also swings with the weather and the seasons, so marketing has to scale up for the rush and keep the schedule full in the slow months, with maintenance plans, past customers and referrals.
Most contractors don’t lose jobs because of weak advertising. They lose them to a dated website, a thin Google profile, a missed call at 7 pm or an estimate nobody followed up on. Fix those first, and every marketing dollar goes further.

The problem: Demand spikes with every heat wave and cold snap, and no-heat or no-AC calls go to whoever answers first.
The problem: Burst pipes and clogged drains don’t wait. Homeowners call the first plumber who looks trustworthy and picks up.
See plumber marketing.
The problem: Electrical work runs from small service calls to panel upgrades, EV chargers and commercial jobs, each with different buyers.
The problem: Roof replacements are big, considered purchases, with spikes after storms and long decision cycles.

Before spending more on ads, we check how many calls go unanswered and how many estimates never get a follow-up. For home services companies with $1M+ in revenue, our audits almost always find thousands of dollars a month in missed jobs and manual work that intake and dispatch automation can recover.
For most contractors, local search comes first: a complete Google Business Profile, steady reviews and a fast website with a page for each service and area. Google Ads and Local Services Ads add immediate calls in peak season, and maintenance plans and past-customer marketing keep the schedule full year-round.
Show up where homeowners look (the map pack, search ads and increasingly AI assistants), make calling easy on a phone, answer every call including after hours, and follow up on every estimate. Many contractors lose more jobs to missed calls than to weak advertising.
They are often worth testing. Local Services Ads appear above regular ads for many home-service searches, show your reviews, and charge per lead rather than per click. Track every lead to a booked job to judge them.
