Technical approach

The mechanics behind SEM for damp proofing, explained plainly.

Match types and query sculpting

Exact and phrase tiers protect budget on "damp proofing specialists near me" style terms while broad match experiments run in controlled ad groups with aggressive negatives.

Agent and office campaign tiers

Individual booker campaigns use portfolio landings and instant scheduling. Office and panel enquiries get separate paths, offers and conversion values so CPA reflects relationship LTV, not a single {conversion_unit}.

Quality Score and landing experience

Ad relevance, expected CTR and landing page experience are improved together. Slow or generic pages drag CPA up even when keywords are right.

Bid strategies tied to conversions

Target CPA or Maximize Conversions with safeguards activate only after conversion volume is trustworthy. Value-based bidding layers on when CRM passes revenue values back.

Damp Proofing economics and benchmarks

Correct diagnosis protects reputation and margin. Marketing should track survey-to-treatment rate, not raw injection quote requests.

Cost per damp survey lead (UK)
£30 to £110
Cost per signed DPC treatment
£120 to £400
Average rising damp treatment ticket
£2,500 to £8,000
Monthly ad spend per city
£1,500 to £5,000

Misdiagnosing condensation as rising damp destroys reviews. Survey-first positioning wins trust and higher close rates on real damp.

What to expect

Timelines depend on your starting point, but most {trade} clients follow a similar rhythm on SEM.

Weeks 1 to 2

Audit, account access, intent map and work plan. You see the diagnosis and priorities before spend scales.

Weeks 3 to 6

Campaign, page or tagging implementation depending on channel. First qualified damp proofing enquiries usually appear here when tracking is sound.

Month 2 onward

Ongoing optimization, monthly reporting and testing. The goal is lower cost per booked job and higher enquiry volume your team can close.
