Countertops - PPC
Put your shop in front of buyers who are comparing materials and looking for a local fabricator right now, before your competitors get to them first. Building websites since 2002, with 800+ WordPress sites under management and a 75+ step QA process behind every launch.
We build campaigns segmented by material and buyer intent, not one generic countertop ad group covering every search.
Why it works
Countertop buyers are high-intent searchers. When someone types "quartz countertop fabricator near me" or "granite installation estimate," they're not browsing. They're in the decision window. Paid search gets your shop into that window immediately, without waiting months for SEO rankings to build.
The countertop market is also highly competitive for organic search, and paid ads fill the visibility gap while organic authority is being built. Average CPCs for stone and countertop search terms run $4-$15, and average cost per lead lands in the $50-$150 range depending on market, keywords, and landing page quality. That's a meaningful investment, and the difference between a well-structured campaign and a generic one is often whether those leads convert into booked template visits or bounce without acting.
Approach
Campaign structure
Material explorers, visual buyers, and ready-to-buy searchers all need separate campaign structures. We also segment by material, since a marble buyer has a different decision process and project value than a quartz buyer.
Keyword strategy
Keyword lists built around real material terms, location modifiers, and intent signals. Negative keywords like "DIY granite" or "laminate countertops" get excluded from day one and refined continuously.
Ad copy
Generic home improvement copy doesn't stand out to a buyer comparing four fabricator sites at once. We write ads that name the material, the showroom experience, and the process, then test and refine continuously.
Landing pages
Sending a "marble countertop" click to your generic homepage is one of the most expensive mistakes in countertop PPC. We build or optimize landing pages specific to each major campaign.
Conversion tracking
Form submissions, showroom bookings, and deposit confirmations all get tracked. Management fees are scoped and billed separately from ad spend, so you always know what's running and what it costs.

Worth knowing
Countertop demand follows kitchen and bath remodel cycles, with peaks in spring and fall. Budgets should increase going into those windows and be managed carefully in slower winter months.
Most fabricators have a realistic service radius of 30-60 miles. Geo-targeting should match that radius, not a broad metro or state level, or you'll spend money on buyers you can't serve.
National chains run significant paid search budgets. The winning strategy for independent fabricators is owning high-intent, material-specific searches where national brands can't match your depth.
A typical kitchen countertop project runs several thousand dollars. A single booked job from PPC often pays for a month of ad spend when campaigns are structured correctly.
Common mistakes
Lumping granite, quartz, and marble searches into a single campaign spreads budget thin and produces ads that don't speak to any one buyer clearly.
Without negative keywords, budget leaks to searches like "DIY granite" or "countertop paint" that never turn into a fabrication job.
Generic landing experiences convert far below dedicated, material-specific pages built for the exact search that triggered the click.
Without tracking form submissions and showroom bookings, it's impossible to know which campaigns are actually producing jobs, not just traffic.
Budget
Management fees are scoped separately from ad spend and scale with campaign complexity. Ranges below reflect typical media budgets for countertop and stone fabricators.

Countertop keywords run $4-$15 CPC and cost-per-lead lands in the $50-$150 range for shops with well-optimized landing pages. Management fees sit on top of ad spend and are scoped individually per shop.
Why us
A marble buyer and a quartz buyer behave differently. So do explorers and ready-to-buy searchers. We build campaigns around those real differences instead of one generic countertop campaign.
A click that lands on a mismatched homepage is money wasted. Every major campaign gets a landing page built to match what the buyer searched for.
You'll always know exactly what you're paying us and what you're paying Google. No bundled numbers designed to obscure where your money goes.
Landing pages built on a platform we know inside and out load fast, track conversions accurately, and don't break after a routine plugin update.
If a campaign isn't working, we'll tell you and explain why, then propose a specific change. No stalling with vague updates while budget keeps burning.

Good to know
PPC programs for countertop fabricators start as low as $500/month for brand awareness or remarketing campaigns. Lead-generation programs focused on producing quote requests and showroom visits typically require $1,500-$3,000/month in ad spend for a single-market, single-material focus. Multi-material or multi-location programs run higher. Management fees are scoped separately and sit on top of your ad spend. We scope everything transparently during the strategy call so you know the full investment before committing.
Paid search can generate leads within the first week of launch. That said, the first two to four weeks of any new countertop PPC campaign are a learning and optimization period. Search term data, conversion rate patterns, and ad performance all need time to stabilize before we make major strategic shifts. We set realistic expectations at kickoff and give you visibility into campaign performance from day one.
Both are possible, but material-specific and audience-specific landing pages consistently outperform generic homepage traffic for countertop PPC. We typically recommend building dedicated landing pages for each major campaign theme and will scope that work as part of the PPC program. If your existing site already has well-structured material pages with strong conversion elements, we'll evaluate whether they're sufficient before recommending new builds.
Yes, and in practice they work well together. PPC delivers immediate lead volume while SEO builds long-term organic rankings. The keyword and conversion data from paid campaigns also informs which organic content priorities to move up the roadmap. We run both as an integrated program or separately, depending on your goals and budget.
We track form submissions, showroom appointment bookings, and any other digital conversion actions you have in place. We report on cost per lead, conversion rate, and ad spend efficiency monthly. We also work with you to understand what's happening to those leads downstream, quote acceptance rate, jobs booked, project value, so we can optimize campaigns toward outcomes that actually matter for your business rather than just click metrics.
Your campaigns are managed by a senior practitioner from day one. We don't route accounts through junior staff learning on your budget. The person setting strategy is the same person reviewing performance and making adjustments week to week.
Still have questions? We're happy to answer them, let's connect.
Getting started
We'll ask about your materials, your service area, your current lead sources, and what a qualified lead actually looks like for your shop. From there, we'll walk through what a realistic PPC budget and structure would look like given your market's competitiveness and your growth goals. You'll leave the call with a clear picture of the investment required and the results you can reasonably expect, not a generic pitch deck.
