Facility Management - PPC
Facility management PPC has to work harder than most paid search. Ads have to reach procurement directors and facilities managers while filtering out job seekers and residential inquiries that never convert. We build campaigns that do both.
Facility management PPC isn't cheap, and it shouldn't be judged against consumer benchmarks. Industrial and commercial search terms run around $5.70 per click, and high-intent terms like "commercial janitorial services near me" or "facility management RFP" can run $8-$12 per click. What makes PPC worth that spend is speed and control: campaigns start generating qualified traffic immediately, and you can target by sector, geography, and buyer intent with precision organic search can't match on its own.
Our approach
We build search campaigns around high-intent RFP and service terms, remarketing campaigns to stay visible during the long evaluation cycle, and display campaigns for brand awareness among facility managers who aren't actively searching yet.
Facility management terms attract a lot of irrelevant traffic: job seekers, residential cleaning inquiries, students researching the industry. We build aggressive negative keyword lists from day one so your budget goes toward buyers, not browsers.
Ad copy needs to attract the right buyer and repel the wrong one. We write ads that speak directly to procurement language, service scope, and compliance credentials, which naturally filters out clicks that were never going to convert.
Every campaign sends traffic to a landing page built for that specific search intent, not your homepage. Sector-specific and service-specific landing pages convert at meaningfully higher rates than generic pages.
With a 3-6 month sales cycle, the form fill is rarely the final conversion. We track micro-conversions like RFP downloads, case study views, and portal logins so you understand the full path to a signed contract, not just the top of it.
The person who clicks your ad often isn't the person who signs the contract. Campaigns need to account for facilities coordinators, operations managers, and procurement directors all touching the decision at different points.
Facility services are inherently local or regional, even for national providers. Campaigns need geographic targeting tight enough to match your actual service area, not broad enough to waste spend on markets you don't serve.
A healthcare facility buyer and a retail facility buyer search differently and respond to different messaging. We segment campaigns by sector where your service mix supports it.
A 3-6 month sales cycle means last-click attribution tells an incomplete story. We set up tracking that credits the full journey, so budget decisions reflect what's actually driving contracts, not just the last touchpoint.

Good to know
It depends on your goals. Brand awareness and remarketing campaigns can start around $500/month. Focused regional lead generation typically runs $2,500-$5,000/month. Multi-service national campaigns often run $5,000-$15,000+/month. We build a media plan around your service mix and markets before recommending a number.
B2B service categories with long sales cycles and high contract values tend to have higher CPCs because the value of a converted lead is much larger than a typical consumer purchase. Industrial and commercial terms average around $5.70 per click, and the highest-intent terms run $8-$12. The cost is justified by contract value, not click volume.
Aggressive negative keyword lists. Facility management search terms overlap heavily with job searches, residential cleaning inquiries, and general research queries. We build and continuously refine negative keyword lists so your ads don't show for searches that were never going to convert.
Yes. Sector-specific campaigns with dedicated ad copy and landing pages consistently outperform generic facility management campaigns when you serve multiple verticals. If healthcare, education, and retail facilities all matter to your business, each deserves its own campaign structure.
We track micro-conversions, like RFP downloads, case study views, and content engagement, alongside form fills. That gives you visibility into pipeline movement well before a contract closes, instead of waiting months to know whether a campaign is working.
