If you needed brain surgery, which of the following would you choose…
A. General Practitioner
Expertise: Deals with colds, the flu, chicken pox, and 752 other ailments.
Brain-Surgery Experience: None. The closest he ever gets to seeing a brain is when he peeks in your ears with his otoscope.
B. Renowned Neurosurgeon
Expertise: Handles ONLY neurosurgical procedures.
Brain-Surgery Experience: Has dedicated his life to neurosurgery. Graduated first in his class from the top neurosurgery school in the nation. Has performed 1,793 successful brain operations.
If your gray matter needs a tune-up, it’s obvious which of these two you’d choose to “peak under the hood.”
This is not a knock on general practitioners; they do one of the most important jobs in the world.
But let’s face it…
Certain things require the expertise of a specialist to ensure success.
…One of those things is pay per click.
If you’re a contractor, it can be tough to get good results by hiring a PPC “generalist.”
Unfortunately, 98% of PPC companies are generalists. They don’t specialize in any specific industry; they use the same strategies for EVERY type of business, whether you’re a contractor or a dentist or a car salesman or a brain surgeon.
And if you know anything about marketing, you know that “one size” does not fit all when it comes to consumers.
Sure, there are overlapping desires among consumers no matter what they’re buying. Someone buying a new television wants some of the same things as someone who’s remodeling their kitchen: quality, a good price, a sense of satisfaction with their purchase, and so on.
But those are surface-level, “big-picture” desires. There are industry-specific buying triggers for both of these markets. And they do not overlap.
Case in point: Many of MYM’s PPC clients have used PPC generalists, and here is some of what they experienced…
- Few leads (since their ads were not speaking directly to THEIR markets’ desires)
- Low-quality leads (since their ads were not optimized for the type of customer they wanted)
- High cost per lead (as a direct result from the low quality leads the campaign brought in)
- Low impression share (because their ads were not interesting to people, Google relegated them to the bottom of the search results page… or didn’t show them at all!)
The only way to identify and activate the industry-specific buying triggers of your market through PPC is with the experience and knowledge that comes with practice. Years upon years of practice.
I’d know… MYM is one of the only PPC providers that work exclusively in the remodeling and home improvement industry.
We have a crack team of PPC gurus who have almost a decade of experience in contractor PPC. They have worked out the absolute best keywords for the industry, the exact wording that remodeling and home improvement ads need to get maximum clicks, and everything a contractor’s PPC campaign needs to pull in leads at the lowest possible cost.
This is why we’re the only company that can offer No-Risk PPC Lead Generation. Utilizing our exclusive strategies, we guarantee contractors a cost per lead of $200 or less. Many times, a lot less than that—we’ve got clients with a cost per lead of less than $50!
Hey… contractor PPC may not be brain surgery. But it’s complex enough to require a specialist—not a generalist—to get maximum results.
For more info about MYM No-Risk PPC Lead Generation, shoot an email to noriskppc@mymonline.com with your questions. We’ll get back to you quickly with the details you want.
Last month, I blogged about lead and cost-per-lead stats of five MYM PPC clients. These stats were from the beginning of the year to November 4th.
Today, I want to show you the stats of the same five clients through December 2nd. In parentheses, I’ve denoted the total difference in lead count and cost per lead between November 4th and December 2nd. This will give you a better sense of what to expect from a PPC campaign once it is fully optimized.
Note: The following statistics are not for No-Risk PPC Lead Generation. We’re still in the process of switching over some of our current PPC clients to No-Risk PPC. I tell you this because once these clients are switched over to No-Risk PPC, their monthly lead count will be more static (since THEY will be choosing the amount of leads they want). Their cost per lead, however, will be similar to what you see below.
Company names are kept confidential for privacy purposes. For more in-depth details on client lead amounts and CPL, email us at noriskppc@mymonline.com.
- Illinois Door Company
a. Number of leads since January 2017: 516 (+11)
b. Cost per lead: $146.35 (-$1.62)
- Utah Roofer
a. Number of leads since January 2017: 611 (+19)
b. Cost per lead: $58.55 (+$0.35)
- Washington Gutter Company
a. Number of leads since January 2017: 505 (+22)
b. Cost per lead: $123.74 (-$0.67)
- Tennessee Exterior Remodeler
a. Number of leads since January 2017: 851 (+19)
b. Cost per lead: $169.46 (+$7.76)
- Kansas Kitchen and Bath Remodeler
a. Number of leads since January 2017: 923 (+52)
b. Cost per lead: $25.35 (-$1.30)
Takeaways:
- As you know, this is the slow season for most contractors. The increase in the amount of leads between November 2nd and December 4th for all clients is much higher during the spring and summer. (For example, client #1 typically experiences 30 to 40 leads per month during the busy season, while client #5 gets over 100 per month.)
- Cost per lead will fluctuate up and down, depending on difference circumstances. If you’re someone like client #4, a $7.76 increase during one particular month is nothing to worry about (especially when your cost per lead is sub-$200 to begin with!). The cost per lead could just as easily decrease $10 or $15 next month.
- Depending on your market and how aggressive you want to be, you can experience results like client #1 or #5.
If you think THESE numbers are good, wait until we get these clients locked and loaded with No-Risk PPC Lead Generation. I can’t want to show you THOSE results.

If you’re new here, you probably don’t know that there are two types of pay-per-click advertising.
First, there’s “normal” PPC.
This is the type of PPC you’re already familiar with. The goal of “normal” PPC is to get as many clicks as possible for as low of a cost-per-click as possible. You won’t know how many leads you’re getting or what your cost per lead will be. “Normal” PPC doesn’t track that stuff.
Then there is PPC Lead Generation..
This is the type of PPC most contractors don’t know exist. But it’s hands down the better type of PPC for remodelers, builders, and construction companies.
PPC Lead Generation still tracks clicks and cost per click. It still requires a monthly budget (except when it doesn’t… more on that in a second). But PPC Lead Generation uses more sophisticated methods and technology to collect and measure what’s really important: LEADS and COST PER LEAD.
By focusing on leads instead of clicks, PPC Lead Generation actually grows your business. And does so in a quantifiable way.
MYM specializes in PPC Lead Generation. But we’ve evolved it to the next level.
No-Risk PPC Lead Generation is contractor-specific PPC Lead Generation that requires NO budget, NO commitment, and NO risk.
It’s PPC Lead Generation on PEDs.
Here is a completely scientific visual comparison among PPC, PPC Lead Generation, and MYM No-Risk PPC Lead Generation:

Here’s how No-Risk PPC Lead Generation works…
You tell us the number of leads you want. We get them to you for $200 or less per lead—guaranteed. We track every single PPC-related call, chat, and contact you get to determine your amount of TRUE leads. Once you receive and review your leads, then you pay for those leads.
- You don’t have to worry about running out of money 10 days into your monthly campaign.
- You don’t have to worry whether clicks are (or are not) turning into leads.
- You don’t have to worry about wrong numbers, calls outside your service area, or calls for services you don’t provide counting as leads.
- All you have to focus on is closing the leads we supply you. And since PPC leads are usually the hottest of the hot, that shouldn’t be a problem.
So if “normal” PPC has failed you in the past… and you can’t stomach the budget for typical PPC Lead Generation… step up to MYM No-Risk PPC Lead Generation. It will grow your business as fast as YOU want it to… without any risk.
