Technical approach

The mechanics behind SEM for fencing and gates, explained plainly.

Match types and query sculpting

Exact and phrase tiers protect budget on "fencing contractors 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.

Fencing and Gates economics and benchmarks

Fence installs are lump-sum jobs with material-driven margin. Marketing should track signed metres, not raw clicks.

Cost per fence quote lead
$30 to $110
Cost per signed residential install
$80 to $280
Average backyard fence ticket
$3,000 to $9,000
Monthly ad spend
$1,500 to $4,500

Shared fence leads trigger bidding wars. Owned quotes with measure-first CTAs improve close rates and gate upsell.
