The best Google Ads agency for a facilities management company should understand which commercial services you want to sell, where you can deliver them and what makes an enquiry suitable. A campaign for office cleaning contracts needs different pages and qualification from one for commercial HVAC maintenance or a national integrated FM proposition.
Start with a service and buyer brief, rather than a promise of cheap clicks. Ads can introduce a supplier to a buyer researching a requirement. They do not bypass procurement or guarantee a contract award. This shortlist compares sector offers, named paid-search evidence and broader providers whose fit needs further assessment.
Compare ten FM Google Ads and PPC providers
| Provider | Potential fit | Published evidence or scope | What to check |
|---|---|---|---|
| Built for Local | Regional commercial service campaigns under your own brand | Trade-focused Search management with a published fee band | Agree services, site coverage, landing pages and qualification |
| Solvi Digital | A cleaning or facilities-support provider seeking named paid-search evidence | UFSS commercial cleaning Google Ads case | Check conversion definitions, dates, costs and sales outcomes |
| Lobo Digital | An FM business seeking senior PPC within a wider digital plan | Dedicated FM offer and published hourly packages | Confirm PPC hours, implementation and reporting responsibilities |
| Sharpstones Media | A commercial trades or FM firm comparing a focused Search pilot | Dedicated commercial trades and facilities PPC plan | The published £500 pilot is media, not management |
| PRG Marketing Communications | An FM brand coordinating Google Ads with wider B2B communications | Dedicated FM marketing offer including Google and LinkedIn | Separate paid-search delivery from PR and bid support |
| Wriggle Marketing | A facilities company joining PPC, website and creative work | Facilities/commercial offer and DCS Multiserve listing | Obtain the complete case and paid-channel breakdown |
| Cloudswitched | A cleaning or FM business comparing fixed-fee management | Dedicated cleaning/FM PPC page with setup and tracking scope | Clarify landing-page advice versus actual builds |
| Every Trick Marketing | A property-management or resident-facing acquisition brief | Save My Service Charge Google Ads case | Adjacent marketplace work is different from FM contracting |
| GrowthLine | A service business targeting recurring commercial enquiries | B2B contract offer and published management pricing | Separate named fabrication or consumer cases from FM proof |
| Loom Digital | An established business considering a broader paid-media partner | Google Ads audit, strategy, optimisation and reporting offer | Obtain FM-specific evidence and a tailored channel plan |
The list includes a named commercial-cleaning paid-search case, dedicated FM service offers and adjacent property or B2B examples. Those are different evidence levels. A relevant plan is useful to review, but does not establish a measured result for a business like yours.
Built for Local — regional commercial-service Search campaigns
Built for Local scopes Google Ads around the FM services, clients and sites your team can actually support. Agree the work you want, genuine working areas, capacity, landing pages and what the sales team will accept as a useful enquiry. Campaigns run for your business under its own brand.
Google Ads management is £499 monthly, paid in advance, for Google media spend up to £2,000 monthly. Advertising spend is additional and paid directly to Google. Above £2,000 media spend, management requires a separate quote. BFL does not charge VAT. The proposal should identify setup, campaign structure, tracking, landing-page work and reporting.
Our first 30 days free promotion applies to the website and ongoing local SEO package within its three-service-month commitment. It does not make Google Ads management or advertising spend free. If the current site is suitable, campaign-specific pages or improvements can be assessed without assuming a full rebuild is needed.
Extensive national campaigns, numerous service lines, complex CRM work, specialist creative production and staffed lead handling require explicit assessment and scope. Tender writing, prospect databases and outbound appointment setting should not be assumed to be included. The client’s team remains responsible for commercial follow-up, surveys, proposals and delivery commitments.
We do not present our wider trade portfolio as a measured FM PPC case. Ask us the same evidence and scope questions as any other provider. Review Google Ads for FM companies, packages and terms; agree notice, access and handover in writing.
Solvi Digital — A cleaning or facilities-support provider seeking named paid-search evidence
Solvi’s UFSS case describes Google Ads for a London commercial cleaning and facilities-support business. Work included restructuring campaigns, narrowing service and location targeting, improving ads and tracking, alongside a wider relationship involving cold email.
The case compares a £210 average cost per conversion over the preceding year with about £128 in the latest 30 days, reporting a 39% reduction. These are different reporting windows, not a universal FM cost benchmark. Other passages distinguish conversions and raw leads, so request the original definitions and dates. Ask for qualified opportunities, held surveys, proposals, won contracts and the full investment. Obtain a current management quote.
Lobo Digital — An FM business seeking senior PPC within a wider digital plan
Lobo describes search-term reviews, negative keywords, bids, ads, landing-page improvements and conversion checks. Its separate FM page explains sector support and founder Marcus Lobow’s prior in-house background in cleaning, facilities and property. Practitioner experience is different from a named agency PPC case.
Published pricing is £62.50 plus VAT per hour, in monthly packages starting at 15 hours for £937.50 plus VAT, with a three-month minimum. Advertising spend is separate. Agree how much time is actually assigned to PPC versus other channels, and who builds pages or fixes tracking. Request comparable FM paid-search evidence and a report connecting spend to accepted commercial enquiries.
PRG Marketing Communications — An FM brand coordinating Google Ads with wider B2B communications
PRG’s FM page covers hard and soft services, consultancy and CAFM technology. It lists Google and LinkedIn advertising alongside content, SEO, trade-media PR, branding and supporting materials. This may fit a brief that needs several disciplines working to one commercial plan.
The service offer is not itself a quantified Google Ads contract case. Request a comparable paid-search example with dates, spend, conversion definitions and sales progression. Confirm the actual campaign manager, landing-page production, tracking and approval process. Separate media, management, creative, PR and any bid-related work in a current written proposal.

Wriggle Marketing — A facilities company joining PPC, website and creative work
Wriggle’s facilities and commercial offer spans PPC, SEO, content, web development, conversion work and creative services. Its portfolio names DCS Multiserve, a cleaning and facilities business. The published introduction describes a need for digital enquiries after an earlier brand and website overhaul by another agency.
The full case was unavailable in our reviewed retrieval. This guide therefore does not assign an invented PPC result or attribute the earlier rebuild to Wriggle. Ask for the original paid-search report, dates, accepted enquiries and opportunities. Confirm what the retainer includes, who implements page changes and how media and other-channel work are charged.
Cloudswitched — A cleaning or FM business comparing fixed-fee management
Cloudswitched’s sector pricing page describes fixed-fee Google Ads management, campaign setup, keyword work, ad testing, bid management and reporting. It states that media is separate and setup and conversion tracking form part of its standard service.
No exact management figure is published on the reviewed page. Although it mentions landing-page optimisation, the detailed scope says page review and advice rather than website building. Ask who will implement recommendations and what production costs apply. Obtain a named comparable case, a current quote, notice terms and a clear definition of qualified FM enquiries.
Every Trick Marketing — A property-management or resident-facing acquisition brief
Every Trick’s Save My Service Charge case covers a comparison service connecting residents with property management companies. It describes Google Search and Performance Max campaigns around property management, service charges and related resident needs. This is an adjacent property acquisition model, not a hard-FM maintenance contractor case.
The agency reports more than 300 completed sign-up forms and 45 direct calls from ads during the described programme, which began in January 2023. Ask for the reporting cutoff, spend, duplicates, accepted prospects and commercial outcomes. Forms and calls should not be added and labelled unique customers without checking overlap. Request a current scope and fee suited to your actual buyer.
GrowthLine — A service business targeting recurring commercial enquiries
GrowthLine describes Google Ads and landing pages for enquiry-led service businesses, with commercial cleaning, electrical, grounds and other contract themes. Its named headline B2B example concerns steel fabrication; consumer examples concern different markets. Neither should automatically be treated as an FM result.
Its pricing page lists management from £750 monthly, a three-month minimum, at least one dedicated landing page and no upfront setup fee, with media paid directly to Google. Confirm the final fee, tax treatment, scope and notice. Ask for a relevant FM example and the original basis of any contract-value claim. Published close rates or another sector’s contract value are not a forecast for your firm. See published pricing.
Loom Digital — An established business considering a broader paid-media partner
Loom’s Google Ads page describes audits, campaign planning, optimisation, reporting and use of offline conversion information. It covers several advertising formats and industries. That establishes a wider paid-media offer rather than a dedicated FM specialism.
Ask for an FM or comparable commercial-services case with the original spend and qualified opportunity results. Confirm whether the proposal is Search-led or includes other networks, and which pages, creative and tracking work are included. Obtain a current fee, minimum media requirement, term and handover plan. A general platform capability does not establish suitability for every regional contractor.
Structure campaigns around services and buying decisions
List the services actually offered and the contract types you want. Separate planned maintenance, reactive commercial work and multi-service outsourcing where their intent, budgets and pages differ. A business can be strong in one discipline without claiming every hard and soft FM capability.
| Brief | Example search theme | Page and qualification focus |
|---|---|---|
| Hard FM | commercial planned maintenance [region] | Systems supported, sites, delivery model and maintenance requirement |
| M&E services | mechanical electrical maintenance contractor [region] | Actual disciplines, coverage and site information |
| Soft FM | office cleaning contractor [city] | Premises, frequency, service scope and contract enquiry |
| Commercial reactive work | commercial building repair [town] | Accepted tasks, availability, site postcode and response conditions |
| Integrated FM | integrated facilities management provider | Service coordination, coverage, portfolio scale and buying stage |
| Sector-led work | facilities maintenance for schools | Relevant experience, genuine capabilities and evidence |
Keep consultancy, CAFM software, recruitment and contractor acquisition distinct when those are different business lines. Someone searching for an FM job or a maintenance software demonstration is not necessarily seeking a service provider. If both are genuine revenue lines, give them appropriate pages, budgets and conversion definitions.
A limited budget can be easier to assess when concentrated on one or two priority services. Splitting it across many regions and disciplines may make each test too small to learn from. Ask the manager to explain which campaigns will launch first and what evidence would justify expanding them.
Review search intent, match types and exclusions
Keyword match types influence reach, but do not remove the need to inspect searches and enquiry quality. Exact match can include the same meaning or intent, and phrase match considers meaning. Broad match reaches more related searches; Google recommends using Smart Bidding with it. See Google’s keyword matching guidance.
For a tightly scoped pilot, ask why each match type and bid strategy is proposed, what data supports it and how waste will be controlled. Do not assume broad match is always wrong or that exact match admits only identical wording. Review actual search terms alongside accepted and rejected leads.
Negative keywords should follow the business brief. Jobs, courses, DIY advice and unsupported services can be irrelevant. But excluding “flat”, “residential”, “emergency” or “repair” wholesale can remove useful block-management or commercial reactive enquiries. Check the meaning in context before adding exclusions.
Distinguish a commercial one-off request you welcome from a contract you prefer. An emergency job may be useful work, an introduction to a property manager or outside your model entirely. The agency needs an explicit decision rather than treating every call-out as wasted spend.
Target the buyer and qualify the site needing work
Agree real operational coverage first. For local work, Presence targeting can help focus on people likely to be in or regularly in selected areas. It is not a perfect location filter. Review Google’s advanced location options and confirm the actual settings.
For portfolio or national buyers, the person researching may sit outside the buildings’ region. A procurement team in London could be sourcing work elsewhere. Review buyer and delivery locations separately, and ask the form or sales team to confirm site postcodes. Avoid imposing a local-radius model on every national contract brief.
Schedule ads around the enquiry response process and available data. A weekday-only plan may suit some contract campaigns, while urgent commercial support or out-of-hours research can behave differently. The marketing acknowledgement should not imply an operational emergency response that has not been agreed.
Build landing pages that help a commercial buyer enquire
Match the page to the advertised service. Explain what is included, appropriate sites, working area and delivery arrangements. Use current, permitted credentials and approved case evidence. A certification logo should not imply every building or task is covered by its scope.
Show relevant projects and the practical next step. A useful form can ask for organisation, contact, service, site location, approximate scale and timing. A short first enquiry followed by a conversation may be more appropriate than demanding a complete asset register upfront.
Keep recruitment, existing-client support and supplier contact routes distinct. Use clear calls to action and test mobile forms, calls, confirmation messages and notifications. If your team accepts site briefs or attachments, agree the supported process and request only the information needed for initial assessment.
Agree who builds and maintains pages. Some retainers include production; others include recommendations only. Clarify hosting, licences, edits, form routing and whether campaign pages are intended for paid traffic only. A landing-page review should not be mistaken for an included website build.
Separate paid-search evidence from adjacent results
| Example | What the primary material supports | What remains to establish |
|---|---|---|
| UFSS / Solvi | Named commercial-cleaning Google Ads work and conversion-cost reporting | Exact dates, event definitions, complete cost and contract progression |
| Save My Service Charge / Every Trick | Paid campaigns and reported forms/calls for a resident-facing property service | Distinct prospects, spend, period and relevance to contractor acquisition |
| Churchill Group / Wagada | Employer branding and SEO programme | Not evidence of Google Ads contract leads |
| DCS Multiserve / Wriggle | Named facilities-client introduction | Full paid-search case and channel-level outcomes |
| GrowthLine headline cases | Other-sector B2B and consumer examples | Comparable FM results and original contract-value basis |
| Dedicated sector service pages | A description of an offered method | Actual client delivery and independently assessable outcomes |
The Churchill Group case returned in the supplied research concerns employer branding and SEO. Its organic growth and conversion figures should not be relabelled as Google Ads contract acquisition. The presence of a Google Ads link in a site menu does not change a case’s channel or objective.
Ask for original dates, baseline, spend and measurement before comparing results. A cost per conversion from one commercial-cleaning account is not an FM-wide benchmark. A percentage increase may reflect a small starting point, a tracking change or a different mix of campaigns.
Do not add calls, forms and CRM records and label the total unique opportunities without deduplication. Establish what happened after contact: accepted requirement, held conversation, survey, proposal, tender invitation or signed agreement. Retain the distinction between provider-reported data, verified records and forecasts.
Use conversion tracking that reflects commercial progress
Define meaningful actions before launch. A successful form submission or useful call can be an initial lead; a page visit is a different level of interest. Document which events count toward bidding and reporting. Test for duplicate triggers, spam, missed notifications and forms that record a conversion without reaching the sales team.
| Stage | Useful information | Commercial meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Raw contact | Call or form, source, date and landing page | Initial response; validate it |
| Accepted lead | Organisation, service, sites, region and timing | A suitable requirement for the sales team |
| Held conversation or survey | Confirmed meeting and assessment outcome | Progression; not a signed agreement |
| Proposal or tender | Scope, value basis and current stage | Potential work with an uncertain outcome |
| Signed agreement | Award, delivery start and relevant value period | Won work; distinguish revenue timing and contribution |
Ask the internal team to record rejection reasons and next steps. A low cost per form can hide applicants or unsupported domestic requests. Conversely, an expensive initial lead may be commercially suitable. Review quality and progression rather than optimising only for the cheapest event.
Where the data and implementation support it, qualified stages can inform offline conversion measurement. Google documents offline conversion imports and enhanced conversions for leads. Agree the technical work, data responsibilities and event definitions; a CRM integration should not be assumed to be included in basic management.
Keep uncertainty visible when attribution spans several channels or contacts. A prospect may discover the firm through an ad, return organically and involve colleagues before requesting a proposal. Use the available evidence without treating every later contract as caused solely by the first click.
Assess automation and Performance Max as explicit tests
Search can provide a focused way to test service demand. Other campaign types can expand placements and reach, which also changes how results need to be assessed. Ask what the proposed campaign can show, what controls are available and how you will judge whether enquiries fit.
Automation depends on the goals and data supplied to it. Before scaling, resolve unreliable tracking and obtain feedback on lead quality. A campaign optimised for low-value actions can report more conversions without more suitable commercial requirements.
Agree a test budget, review date and expansion criteria. Avoid changing targeting, page, conversion definitions and bidding all at once without recording what changed. Do not let a generic recommendation to use AI replace a clear explanation of the commercial objective and evidence.
Compare management fees, media and the cost of accepted opportunities
Get a complete written proposal covering setup, management, media, landing pages, call tracking, software, creative and integrations. Identify which costs are recurring or one-off and who pays each supplier. A management fee is not the advertising budget.
| Provider | Published indication | What it excludes or needs confirmed |
|---|---|---|
| Built for Local | £499 monthly for Google media up to £2,000 monthly | Media additional; above £2,000 management quoted separately |
| Lobo Digital | From £937.50 plus VAT for 15 monthly hours | Three-month minimum; media separate; agree allocation |
| Sharpstones Media | £500 monthly pilot media budget | Management separately quoted; scope and suitability to confirm |
| GrowthLine | Management from £750 monthly | Three-month minimum; media separate; final fee and tax treatment to confirm |
| Other shortlisted providers | Request a current quote | Compare implementation, page work, terms and complete costs |
As a simple illustration, BFL management plus £1,000 of Google media is £1,499 monthly before any separately scoped services. With £2,000 of media it is £2,499. Neither example predicts enquiry volume. Agree campaign budget controls and review Google’s average daily budget and spending-limit rules rather than treating a daily budget as a hard daily cap.
For your own assessment, calculate cost per accepted opportunity from complete acquisition costs and genuinely accepted opportunities. Keep media-only cost per platform conversion as a separate metric. Compare commercial return using the timing and contribution of work you can fulfil, not the face value of every proposal.
Retain access to your Google Ads account, billing, analytics, tracking, domains, landing pages and agreed CRM records. Confirm rights to creative and source assets, third-party licences, minimum term, notice and handover. Ask what remains accessible when the agency relationship ends.
A practical first 90 days of FM Google Ads
| Period | Priority | Reviewable output |
|---|---|---|
| Before launch | Services, buyers, region, pages and tracking | Approved scope, account access, budget and tested lead route |
| First month | Controlled launch and early quality review | Search-term checks, invalid lead handling and recorded changes |
| Second month | Improve the strongest customer journeys | Page and ad tests, accepted lead feedback and commercial-stage reporting |
| Third month | Review affordability and expansion | Full investment, opportunity progression and next priorities |
Plan for the sales team’s involvement before money is spent. Name the person reviewing leads, the response process and the operational contributor who approves service claims. Marketing cannot compensate for missed calls, unreviewed forms or proposals that never leave the business.
At review, ask what was implemented, which enquiries were suitable and how far they progressed. A longer procurement cycle may mean the outcome is still pending. Increase budgets, regions or service lines when the evidence and delivery capacity support it, with a separate quote where management scope changes.
