The challenge

Keep the phone ringing in a busy local trade.

Continuous Spouting needed a reliable way to keep homeowners and builders calling for spouting, fascia and downpipe work in Hawke's Bay. Like most trades, the battle is being found at the right moment in a competitive local market, without burning budget on the wrong searches. They needed a pipeline they could count on, not a lucky month here and there.

What we did

One campaign, done exceptionally well.

No complex machine to maintain. Just a single Search campaign, kept sharp every month, aimed squarely at people in Hawke's Bay ready to book.

One focused Search campaign

A single, tightly managed Google Ads campaign for Hawke's Bay. No sprawling setup to maintain, just one campaign kept razor sharp.

Ongoing keyword refinement

We keep the keywords matched to real buyer searches for spouting, fascia and downpipe work, and prune anything that drifts off intent.

Ad copy that matches intent

Ads written to speak directly to what the searcher needs, so the people who click are ready to call or ask for a quote.

Consistency, month after month

Leads arrive at a predictable cost, giving the business a pipeline it can actually plan around.

The results

Ads people act on, at a cost that holds.
