Budget follows the season
Exterior searches climb in spring and summer. I shift spend ahead of the rush and pull back when demand drops.
Google Ads & Maps for Painters
Google Ads for painters. Steady work through every season.
Current client: Double G Painters. I manage their ads and built their website.
Interior, exterior, cabinets and commercial repaints. Demand swings with the weather and the calendar, so I move bids and budgets with it and you don't overpay in the slow months.

Why it's different
What works for painters
Before and after photos
Painting is visual. Image extensions with your real jobs earn more clicks than text alone.
Block paint shoppers
“Paint colors,” “best paint brand” and “how to paint a room” bring clicks from people buying paint, not painters.
Reviews close the deal
Homeowners let strangers into their house. Ratings in your ads and a strong Maps profile make that easier.
Where your next job comes from
Shared leads vs. customers who chose you
Painting is one of the most price-shopped home services out there. Homeowners love collecting bids, so where they find you makes a big difference.
Compared side by side
You're one of several
On Angi, a painting request is sold to several painters at the same time, and on Thumbtack homeowners usually reach out to a few painters from a list. Painting is easy to compare by price, so being one of several quotes puts the focus on your number instead of your work.
Chosen and called
They picked you
A homeowner planning an exterior repaint finds your ad, scrolls through your before-and-after photos and calls you. They're comparing your finished work, not just your number.
Recommended
The closest thing to a referral
People ask ChatGPT for a reliable house painter with good reviews nearby, sometimes along with color advice. When it names your company, you get the call with the trust of a referral already built in.
Most homeowners will get more than one painting quote. The goal is to be the painter they wanted before they asked anyone else.
The Triple Stack
Your business, three times on page one. Same search, same moment.
When Google Ads and an optimized Google Business Profile run together, you can show up three times for the same search: a sponsored Search ad at the top, a sponsored pin in Google Maps, and your organic listing in the Map Pack.
That's what I built for Lemon Grove Stucco. Most of their competitors appear once on that page. Lemon Grove Stucco appears three times.

Francisco Meza · Founder, Planet Marketing · San Diego, CA
I've managed Google Ads and paid search for service businesses since 2006. Contractors, medical practices, law firms, private schools, home services: I've run campaigns for all of them.
When you hire Planet Marketing, your account is never passed to a junior account manager. I build your campaigns, I manage them every month, and I'm the one you call or text. If you're in San Diego or Southern California, I'm happy to meet in person.
Sometimes you just need someone you can trust.

Francisco at Planet Marketing was fantastic to work with! He was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and quick to respond. He took the time to thoroughly analyze my marketing needs and clearly explain his services and the entire process. He also provided pricing right away, which I really appreciated. I’m still at the beginning of my search for marketing services, but Francisco has already made an excellent impression. He clearly knows his business and genuinely cares about providing great customer service. I highly recommend Francisco and Planet Marketing for all your marketing needs!

Questions
Questions painters ask me
When should painters spend the most on ads?
Usually ahead of and during the dry season for exteriors, with interior work carrying you through the rest of the year. I adjust budgets month by month based on your actual calls.
Can you target bigger jobs?
Yes. Exterior, cabinet and commercial searches get their own campaigns, and I can pull back on small one-room jobs if you don't want them.
How quickly will I start getting calls?
Most well-built home service campaigns produce calls in the first 1–2 weeks. The first month is about learning which searches turn into jobs. By month two, call volume and cost per lead usually improve noticeably.
Is there a contract?
No. Everything is month-to-month. Google Ads takes 60–90 days to fully optimize, so I ask that you give it that long before judging, but you're never locked in.
