Key Trends in Windows, Doors & Garage Google Ads

High Cost Per Click Is Normal in This Industry

This is one of the more expensive home service categories in Google Ads.

• High-value jobs drive aggressive bidding
• Strong competition across local markets
• CPC is consistently higher than average service industries

This makes efficiency critical.

Conversion Rates Are Consistent but Not High

Compared to other industries:

• Conversion rates tend to be moderate
• Users often research before converting
• Longer decision cycles impact immediate performance

This means your funnel matters just as much as your ads.

Cost Per Lead Reflects Job Value

Because jobs are higher ticket:

• Higher CPL is expected
• But lead value is also significantly higher
• Profitability depends on close rate, not just CPL

Two accounts with the same CPL can perform very differently depending on sales process.

Local Competition Drives Performance More Than Budget

We consistently see:

• major variation by location
• stronger markets outperforming weaker ones
• smaller budgets working well with proper targeting

This is not purely a budget-driven industry.
