Chimney Repair & Cleaning
Why chimney repair and cleaning campaigns waste money
Chimney demand arrives with the first cold week and disappears by late winter. That short window has to carry a large share of the year, and every sweep in the county is competing for the same few weeks of attention.
The bigger issue is what happens after the booking. A sweep is a low-ticket job. A liner replacement, crown rebuild or flashing repair is many multiples of it. Accounts that optimise purely for cheap sweep bookings end up with a full calendar and a disappointing year.
The campaign has to do both: fill the season fast, and bias toward the homeowners whose chimney actually needs work.
Built for chimney repair and cleaning, not adapted from another industry
Seasonal ramp, built in
Budget scales up ahead of the first cold snap and holds through the peak weeks rather than starting late and catching up. The off-season is scaled back deliberately instead of quietly draining spend.
Sweep and repair, separated
Cleaning searches and damage searches get their own ad groups and landing pages. A homeowner with a cracked crown should never land on a sweep-special page.
Inspection-led positioning
Ads and landing copy lead with certified inspection rather than a discount sweep, which attracts homeowners who suspect a problem, the ones whose jobs carry real value.
Safety intent captured
Draft problems, smoke smell, animal entry, chimney fire aftermath and failed home-inspection reports are all high-urgency, high-value searches. They are targeted directly instead of left to broad match.

Frequently Asked Questions
Late summer to very early autumn, before the first cold week. The contractors who switch on once the weather turns are bidding into a peak that has already started, at the highest cost of the year.
Both, in separate ad groups. Sweeps fill the calendar and create the inspection opportunity; repairs and relining carry the margin. Running them as one campaign means the cheaper clicks quietly absorb the budget.
Spend is scaled back rather than switched off entirely, since some repair and leak searches continue year-round. We set that level with you rather than applying a blanket rule.
Often yes, because intent is concentrated into a short window. Where volume genuinely will not support it, we will tell you on the call rather than take the account and hope.
