Summary: Plumbers, roofers, HVAC companies and cleaners across the US compete hard for local searches. A focused Google Ads setup wins the calls that matter.
Home service searches are urgent and local: "emergency plumber near me", "roof repair Phoenix", "AC repair Houston". The businesses that appear first often win the job.
