Google Ads for drain unblocking

A blocked sink and recurring trouble across several drains need different visits. Let people say what is affected before you dispatch, and log jobs that need a survey.

Separate call-outs from surveys

Drain clearance call-outs

Separate urgent blockages from CCTV surveys. Set schedules around crew availability and vehicle coverage.

Qualify and measure enquiries

Ask whether the issue affects one fixture or several. Track cleared blockages and accepted survey jobs separately.

Match urgent ads to crews on the road

If both vans are already on jobs, more emergency clicks become missed calls. Run urgent ads when you can attend.

Problems that are not the same job

One slow or blocked fixture

Ask whether it is a single sink, a toilet or the whole property. A single fixture can be a shorter visit.

Several drains at once

This is more likely to need time and possibly a camera. Do not promise a price that assumes a five-minute unblock.

A CCTV survey

Often a landlord or a buyer. It is booked work, not an emergency. Give it a form and a coverage area.

What to ask before dispatch

What is affected, the postcode, and whether it is happening now. Track cleared blockages and accepted survey jobs separately.

What this looks like in practice

A blocked sink and recurring problems across several drains usually need different visits. Let people describe what is affected before dispatch and log which jobs require further survey work.

Questions before you spend on ads

Should a drain firm advertise CCTV surveys alongside blockages?

Separate urgent clearance from planned surveys. Count cleared jobs and accepted surveys as different outcomes.

How do I work out what I paid for the work?

Add Google ad spend and management fees, then divide that by the number of completed drain jobs linked to those ads. Include any setup fee in a separate first-month calculation. Use the same period for spend and results, and keep repeat calls, cancellations and unfinished enquiries out of the final count.

Run the numbers for your budget

Questions from local owners

Should surveys and emergencies share a budget?

No. Emergencies spend quickly on the days you are busy. Surveys can be scheduled and should not be crowded out, or the reverse.

What should the ad be honest about?

The areas you cover today and that a price depends on what you find. A fixed price for every blockage creates arguments on the doorstep.

What is a result?

A blockage you cleared, or a survey you were instructed to do. A call you could not attend is a capacity issue, not a lead.
