- Transparent cost-per-booked-job reporting
- 100+ HVAC clients across 7 Australian cities
Why our PPC management services beat generalist agencies for HVAC
Webco is a specialist air conditioning advertising agency — not a generalist PPC firm running 47 different industries. Every Google Ads account we manage is built around the four realities that define heating and cooling contractor marketing in Australia.
Air conditioning advertising — the buyer signals are unique
HVAC and air conditioning buyers don't behave like SaaS leads or e-commerce shoppers. An emergency aircon repair search at 9pm converts in 6 minutes. A ducted system install search at 11am converts over 4 weeks. Webco's PPC campaign services run separate Google Ads structures for emergency-intent and install-intent — most generalist PPC agencies bundle them and pay 40–60% more cost-per-booked-job as a result.
Heating and cooling contractor marketing requires weather triggers
Heating and cooling demand swings 4–8× across a single week based on Bureau of Meteorology forecasts. The first 40°C day in Melbourne generates six months of normal enquiries in five days. Webco's PPC strategists in Adelaide, Perth and every other Australian capital build automated bid-adjustment rules tied to BOM weather warnings — bidding up the moment a heatwave is forecast, scaling down the moment demand softens.
PPC management services for HVAC need negative-keyword discipline
The single most expensive mistake in heating and cooling contractor PPC is paying for DIYers, parts-searchers, trade apprentices and 'how to' research queries. A properly built HVAC PPC campaign maintains a negative-keyword list of 800–1,400 terms — including 'YouTube', 'DIY', 'how to fix', 'parts only', 'used aircon', 'apprenticeship'. This single discipline protects 25–40% of every $4,000+ ad budget.
Pay-per-click should be measured on booked jobs, not clicks
Most PPC agencies report cost-per-click and impressions. Webco reports cost-per-booked-job — the only metric that ties paid-media spend to your bottom line. Across 100+ Australian HVAC engagements, Webco's blended cost-per-booked-job runs $55–$220 on Google Search, $35–$95 on Google LSA, and $45–$180 on Meta retargeting. If your current PPC provider can't quote a CPBJ number, the campaign isn't tracked.
The 4 pillars of Australian HVAC PPC management
Every Webco PPC campaign service runs four pillars in parallel. Cutting any one of them caps the ceiling on the other three — and is the single most common reason mid-size HVAC businesses report ‘PPC didn’t work for us’.
High-intent Google Search Ads
Tightly themed ad groups around install-intent (‘ducted heating installer Adelaide’), repair-intent (’emergency aircon repair Brisbane’), and brand-intent (when buyers search ‘Daikin installer Perth’). Negative-keyword lists of 800–1,400 terms. Quality Score targeting 8+. Single-keyword ad groups for the highest-CPC HVAC terms in Sydney and Melbourne.
Google Local Service Ads (LSA)
The lowest cost-per-booked-job of any paid channel in Australian HVAC — typically $35–$95 — because Google pre-qualifies the lead before it reaches your phone. Webco handles ARC licence verification, $20M public liability insurance proof, Google background check, and ongoing LSA management for HVAC contractors in every major Australian city.
Meta PPC management (FB + IG)
Meta PPC management in Adelaide, Perth and across Australia targeting pre-season install demand (Sept–Nov for cooling, Mar–May for heating) plus retargeting site visitors who didn’t convert. Lookalike audiences built from your existing HVAC customer database. Cost-per-lead typically $20–$60, cost-per-booked-job $45–$180 — best ROI is retargeting.
Conversion tracking + CPBJ reporting
GA4 + Google Ads conversion tracking, call-tracking with CallRail or Aircall, form-submission tracking, SMS-booking tracking, and offline-conversion uploads from your CRM. Weekly reporting on cost-per-booked-job — not impressions. Without this layer, every other pillar is guessing.
Google Ads vs Meta vs LSA vs Display —
where every dollar should go
Most agencies push the channel they’re certified in. Webco runs all five — and tells you which one fits your HVAC business based on real Australian cost-per-booked-job data from 100+ live campaigns.
| Channel | Cost per lead | Close rate | Cost per booked job | Where it fits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Google Search Ads | $40–$110 | 35–55% | $55–$220 | Best for high-intent emergency repair & install searches |
| Google Local Service Ads (LSA) | $25–$60 | 55–70% | $35–$95 | Lowest CPBJ in Australia — Google pre-qualifies the lead |
| Meta Ads (Facebook/Instagram) | $20–$60 | 25–40% | $45–$180 | Best for pre-season install demand + retargeting |
| Google Display (Remarketing) | $8–$25 | 15–30% | $35–$110 | Brand recall + retargeting site visitors who didn't book |
| YouTube Ads | $15–$40 | 10–25% | $80–$240 | Brand-building + commercial-decision-maker reach |
The honest take: Google LSA has the lowest cost-per-booked-job for HVAC and should always be enabled first. Google Search captures emergency demand. Meta builds the install-decision pipeline. Display retargets the 70% of site visitors who didn’t book on the first visit. YouTube is brand-building for commercial-HVAC decision-makers — not residential.

PPC management services pricing
$800 to $10,000+ per month
No percentage-of-spend tricks. No hidden mark-ups. Here are Webco’s four PPC management tiers — what’s included, what it costs, and how fast you’ll see first booked jobs. Ad spend is separate and always 100% transparent to you.
| Tier | Monthly management fee | Scope | Launch time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 — Solo HVAC trade | $800–$2,000/mo + ad spend | 1 campaign, 1 city, weekly optimisation, basic LSA setup | 10–14 days |
| Tier 2 — Growth HVAC business | $2,000–$4,500/mo + ad spend | Multi-campaign (search + Meta + LSA), suburb targeting, weather-trigger bid management | 10–14 days |
| Tier 3 — Multi-city / commercial | $4,500–$10,000/mo + ad spend | Multi-city + commercial campaigns, full conversion tracking, dedicated strategist | 14–21 days |
| Tier 4 — Enterprise / franchise | $10,000+/mo + ad spend | Enterprise tracking, multi-location AdWords MCC, custom dashboards, weekly reporting | 21–28 days |

Webco never marks up media spend — every dollar of ad budget goes directly to Google or Meta, and every campaign report shows exactly where it went.
Inside Webco's PPC campaign services
Eight deliverables included in every PPC management engagement, regardless of tier. These are the difference between Google Ads that produce booked HVAC jobs and Google Ads that produce a monthly report nobody reads.
Full account audit + Quality Score remediation
72-point audit of your existing Google Ads, Meta and LSA accounts. Identifies wasted spend, low Quality Scores, missing negative keywords, broken conversion tracking, and unclaimed LSA opportunities. Output: a ranked 90-day fix list with revenue impact estimates.
Campaign architecture across 4 channels
Separate Google Search, Google LSA, Meta PPC and Google Display structures not one mixed campaign. Each channel optimised for its strongest buyer signal: Search captures intent, LSA delivers pre-qualified leads, Meta builds install pipeline, Display retargets.
Negative-keyword lists (800–1,400 terms)
The single highest-leverage protection on any HVAC PPC budget. Webco maintains a curated negative-keyword library of 800–1,400 terms filtering out DIYers, apprentices, parts-only searches, used-aircon shoppers, YouTube tutorials, and trade-school enquiries.
Weather-trigger bid management
Automated rules tied to Bureau of Meteorology forecasts bid up 30–80% when a heatwave is forecast in your service area, scale down when demand softens. Reduces cost-per-booked-job 18–35% across the December–March peak in Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane.
Postcode-level geo-targeting
Layered geo-targeting a tight 8–12km radius around each major suburb cluster with a wider 25km radius layered on top at a 40–60% lower bid. Postcode bid adjustments of +30–50% on high-value install postcodes, –20–40% on small-ticket service-call postcodes.
Conversion tracking down to phone calls
GA4 + Google Ads conversion tracking, CallRail or Aircall call tracking with call recording, form-submission tracking, SMS-booking tracking, offline-conversion uploads from ServiceM8, Tradify, simPRO and AroFlo. Every booked job traceable to the exact ad click.

MGA Cooling - Google Ads + LSA generating 25-30 booked HVAC jobs per week
MGA Cooling came to Webco with inconsistent leads and ads that delivered curiosity clicks.

The numbers speak for themselves.
- 25–30 booked HVAC jobs per week from paid
- $10,000–$18,000 weekly revenue from Google Ads
- 20+ qualified leads per week (vs ~5 before Webco)

Google Ads & PPC management
questions, answered
The eight questions Australian HVAC business owners ask Webco most often about Google Ads, PPC management, and Meta PPC services. Each answer is structured for AI Overview, ChatGPT and Perplexity citation.
What are Google Ads and PPC management services?
Google Ads management and PPC (pay-per-click) management services are specialist agency services that set up, run and continuously optimise paid advertising campaigns on Google Search, Google Local Service Ads (LSA), Google Display, YouTube and Meta (Facebook/Instagram). For Australian businesses — particularly HVAC contractors, heating and cooling installers, and air conditioning service providers — effective PPC management combines high-intent search keywords, weather-triggered bid adjustments via Bureau of Meteorology data, postcode-level geo-targeting and conversion tracking measured in cost-per-booked-job rather than cost-per-click.
How much do Google Ads and PPC management services cost in Australia?
PPC management services in Australia typically cost between $800 and $10,000+ per month for the management fee, plus ad spend. Solo HVAC trades and small service businesses start at $800–$2,000/month plus a $1,500–$4,000/month ad budget. Mid-size growth businesses invest $2,000–$4,500/month management plus $4,000–$12,000 ad spend across Google Search, LSA and Meta. Multi-city or commercial-focused HVAC contractors typically spend $4,500–$10,000+ management plus $15,000+ ad budget. Webco prices PPC management on a cost-per-booked-job basis with no hidden percentage-of-spend mark-ups.
What's the difference between Google Ads management and Meta PPC management?
Google Ads management focuses on capturing search intent — buyers actively typing ‘aircon repair Melbourne’ or ‘ducted heating installer Perth’. Meta PPC management (Facebook and Instagram ads) focuses on creating demand before the buyer searches — through pre-season install promotions, retargeting site visitors, and lookalike audiences built from existing HVAC customers. The highest-performing Australian HVAC businesses run both: Google Search for emergency demand capture, Meta for pre-season install promotion, and Google LSA for verified lead delivery. Webco delivers Meta PPC management in Adelaide, Perth, Melbourne, Brisbane and every other Australian capital as part of a connected PPC system.
Do you offer PPC management services in Adelaide, Perth, Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Canberra?
Yes. Webco delivers PPC management services across every Australian capital — including dedicated city campaigns for Adelaide, Perth, Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Canberra and Gold Coast. Each city campaign is built around city-specific cost-per-click ranges (Adelaide $5.20–$13.80, Perth $5.80–$15.50, Melbourne $8.50–$24.00, Sydney $9.20–$26.50, Brisbane $6.80–$18.50, Canberra $6.20–$14.80, Gold Coast $7.80–$19.20), suburb-level geo-targeting, and city-specific weather demand patterns. Geographic distance does not affect campaign performance — Australian PPC is data-driven, not proximity-driven.
What is included in Webco's PPC campaign services?
Webco’s PPC campaign services include eight core deliverables: (1) Google Ads account audit + Quality Score remediation; (2) campaign architecture with separate search, LSA, Meta and YouTube structures; (3) negative-keyword lists filtering out DIYers, apprentices and parts-searchers (a $400/month protection on a $4,000 budget); (4) postcode-level geo-targeting with suburb bid adjustments; (5) weather-trigger bid management connected to Bureau of Meteorology forecasts; (6) full conversion tracking down to phone calls, form submissions and SMS bookings; (7) ad-schedule pacing aligned to your call-answering capacity; (8) weekly cost-per-booked-job reporting. Every campaign is tracked, optimised and reported against booked-job revenue — not impressions.
Are you a specialist HVAC PPC management agency or do you serve all industries?
Webco is Australia’s specialist HVAC PPC and digital marketing agency, with primary focus on heating and cooling contractor marketing and air conditioning advertising. We deliver PPC management services to over 100 HVAC businesses across Australia — split-system installers, ducted heating contractors, refrigeration specialists, evaporative cooling installers, and commercial HVAC firms. We also serve adjacent home service contractors (plumbing, electrical, roofing) using the same connected growth framework. The specialist HVAC focus means we understand weather-driven demand, ARC and AIRAH credentials, and the emergency-vs-install dual buyer journey better than generalist PPC agencies.
What is a PPC strategist and what do they actually do?
A PPC strategist is a senior paid-media specialist who designs the overall campaign architecture, budget allocation across channels, bidding strategy and conversion-funnel structure before any campaigns are launched. Unlike a PPC manager (who runs and optimises existing campaigns), a PPC strategist sets the framework — answering questions like ‘should we run LSA before search?’ or ‘how do we split budget across Adelaide CBD and the Adelaide Hills?’. Every Webco PPC engagement starts with a strategist-led audit, then transitions to a dedicated PPC manager for ongoing campaign execution. For Adelaide-based HVAC businesses, PPC strategists at Webco run quarterly strategy reviews tied to South Australian weather patterns and the SA REPS rebate cycle.
How long do Google Ads and PPC management services take to show results?
Google Ads and PPC management services typically deliver first qualified leads inside 7–14 days from launch. Mature campaign performance — stable cost-per-booked-job, optimised Quality Scores, weather-triggered automation — develops over 60–90 days. For Australian HVAC contractors, the typical timeline is: Week 1–2 first leads, Week 3–6 conversion tracking validates and Webco eliminates underperforming keyword groups, Week 7–12 cost-per-booked-job drops 25–40% as the campaign optimises. PPC delivers leads faster than HVAC SEO services (which take 3–6 months to compound), but PPC stops producing leads the moment the budget pauses. The highest-performing HVAC businesses run both as one connected system.
