# PPC for Restoration

PPC isn't just powerful — it's a game changer for home service contractors. 46% of the clicks on the page go to the top 3 paid ads on Google, and 50% of consumers choose the contractor who responds first.

## What Kind of Budget Do I Need for PPC in Southern California?

Cost-per-click in San Diego ranges from $25 to $200+, and a qualified restoration lead typically costs $300 to $750+. Minimum recommended ad spend: $7,000/month. Ideal: $10,000+/month. Our most successful clients spend $12,000–$16,000/month in competitive markets.

## How Can You Calculate ROI from PPC?

Example: a $5,000 monthly budget at $500 per lead generates 10 leads. Close 3–4 at an average $5,000 job = $15,000–$20,000 revenue — a 3–4x return on ad spend.

## What Makes PPC Leads Different?

PPC leads are lukewarm, not pre-sold — customers comparison shop. Speed-to-lead and [follow-up systems](/services/automated-outreach/) decide who wins the job.
