Google Ads, landing pages and SEO for Austin businesses

Leander, Kyle and Hutto are growing faster than Austin itself, I-35 splits the metro, and demand swings with cedar season, spring hail and summer heat.

We work with Austin businesses remotely from Dallas, in the same time zone as you.

Locations

Campaign: Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos service area

One radius around downtown Austin

Targeted areas

  • Round Rock
  • Cedar Park

  • Georgetown
  • Pflugerville
  • Hutto
  • Taylor
  • Manor
  • Del Valle
  • Lakeway
  • Bee Cave
  • Dripping Springs
  • Buda
  • Kyle
  • San Marcos

A 25-mile circle from Round Rock reaches South Austin on a map. A tech on I-35 at 5 p.m. doesn’t.

When demand moves in Austin

Budgets and campaigns change before each swing, not after the leads dry up.

Campaign calendar

When budgets and campaigns change

  • December to February

    Cedar fever peaks in January. Have allergy and urgent care ads ready by early December.

    Details

    Cedar fever season, peaking in January. It’s the window allergy, ENT, urgent care and air filtration businesses plan around, so creative and budgets should be ready by early December, not after the first bad pollen week.

  • March to May

    Hail season. Storm campaigns are built ahead and switched on by ZIP code after a hit.

    Details

    Hail season. Roofing, gutter, window and auto glass demand follows individual storms, so storm campaigns are built ahead of time and switched on by ZIP code after a hit.

  • June to September

    Triple-digit heat, worst in July and August. Phone and after-hours coverage come first.

    Details

    Triple-digit heat, heaviest in July and August. AC repair is the urgent call of the year, so phone handling and after-hours coverage matter more than click volume.

  • March and October

    SXSW in March, ACL Fest and Formula 1 in October. Rentals and venues set budgets early.

    Details

    SXSW in March, then ACL Fest and the Formula 1 race in October. Short-term rentals, restaurants and venues need budgets in place early; service businesses in central Austin plan around slower drive times.

What each service looks like in Austin

Who the ads reach, what the pages say and where you show up in search.

  • Google Ads

    Zip code targeting set by drive times on I-35 and US 183, and budgets moved ahead of hail, heat and cedar season.

    Details

    Locations set by the ZIP codes you serve and the drive times on I-35 and US 183, license numbers in the ad assets for HVAC and plumbing, separate Spanish ad groups where you take Spanish calls, and budgets moved ahead of hail, heat and cedar season instead of after them.

    How we run Google Ads
  • Meta ads

    Reach new households in Leander, Kyle and Hutto before they search, timed to the first 100-degree week or cedar season.

    Details

    Austin’s suburbs keep adding households that don’t have a dentist, an AC company or a lawyer yet. Meta ads reach them in places like Leander, Kyle and Hutto before they search, with creative timed to the first 100-degree week or the start of cedar season.

    How we run Meta ads
  • Conversion rate optimization

    Booking pages with same-day slots live before the mid-January cedar peak, and storm pages that skip deductible offers.

    Details

    For allergy, ENT and urgent care clinics, a booking page with same-day slots up front, live before the cedar peak in mid-January. For roofers, storm pages that win the inspection request without promising to cover a deductible. Call and form tracking then shows which version books more work.

    How we do conversion work
  • Website design

    Pages for the suburbs you cover, the city license on rental booking sites, and a law firm homepage that stays stable.

    Details

    Service area pages for the Austin suburbs you actually cover, a short-term rental license shown on direct-booking sites, and a law firm homepage stable enough that it isn’t a new State Bar filing every month.

    How we design websites
  • SEO

    Searches like “ac repair Round Rock” are won with a full Business Profile and a page for each place you serve.

    Details

    Searches like “ac repair Round Rock” or “dentist Leander” are won with a complete Google Business Profile and a real page for each place you serve. Content follows Austin’s calendar too: cedar season, hail, heat and event weeks.

    How we do SEO

    Campaigns launch with budgets set for the next season: cedar, hail, heat or an event week.

    A cedar reset before the January peak, then hail and SXSW budgets set before March.

Questions about working with us in Austin

Ask us anything else at [email protected]. A founder replies within one business day.

Should I target Round Rock and Georgetown separately from Austin?

If you serve them, usually yes. Both are their own cities in Williamson County, north of Austin along I-35, and someone searching “plumber Georgetown” should land on a page that names Georgetown. Give each its own ad group and landing page, and check drive times first: from a shop in South Austin, I-35 traffic can put a Georgetown job farther away than the map suggests.

Should my AC company mention the Austin Energy rebate?

If you’re one of its participating contractors, yes, on your replacement pages. Austin Energy pays rebates on qualifying AC and heat pump replacements for its electric customers, installed by a participating contractor, when the old system is at least 10 years old. It serves Austin and nearby parts of Travis County, not most of the suburbs, so the rebate belongs only on ads and pages for the areas it covers.

Does my HVAC or plumbing ad need my license number?

In Texas, yes. State rules require advertising that solicits air conditioning or plumbing work to include the license number, with narrow exceptions such as signs at your business location. We put it in the ad assets and on the landing page, and your licensing agency has the final word on your situation.

What can’t a roofing ad say after a hail storm?

Texas law bars contractors from offering to waive, rebate or absorb a homeowner’s insurance deductible, and from advertising that they’ll negotiate or handle the claim as a public adjuster. Your website counts as advertising too. Storm pages should sell the inspection, your workmanship and your warranty instead.

Should I change my ads during SXSW, ACL Fest or the Formula 1 race?

It depends on what you sell. Short-term rentals, restaurants and venues should have budgets and pages ready weeks ahead. A home service business in central Austin may want a tighter service area those weeks, because jobs take longer to reach.

How is the work priced?

Ongoing work is one flat monthly fee, never a percentage of your ad spend, and it runs month to month. Website builds get a fixed quote in writing. After your audit, a written proposal with your fee in dollars follows within 2 business days of asking. How our pricing works.
