Demand Creation for Home Service Companies

Homeowners Don’t Search for You Until Something Breaks.
By Then, They’re Choosing Between You and Ten Other Companies.

Wanamaker Advertising builds the brand that homeowners already trust when the furnace dies, the roof leaks, or the basement floods. TV, radio, and streaming — measured down to the dollar.

The Problem

You’ve Maxed Out Google. You Know It. Your CPL Tells the Story.

The pattern looks the same for almost every home service company we talk to. You started with Google Ads. Added LSAs. Maybe layered on Meta or a lead aggregator. And for a while, it worked.

Then costs started climbing. Lead quality started slipping. You’re paying more for the same volume, and half the leads are shopping three other bids before they even pick up the phone.

That’s not a marketing problem. That’s a demand capture ceiling. You’ve squeezed everything out of the 5% of homeowners who are actively searching right now. The other 95% — the ones whose AC will fail next summer, whose roof has three years left — have no idea who you are.

That’s the gap. And it’s where the real growth lives.

The Wanamaker Approach

Demand Creation That Actually Gets Measured.

We build campaigns across TV, radio, OTT, and CTV that put your company in front of homeowners before they need you. Not vanity impressions. Not “brand awareness” that nobody can quantify. Measured demand creation.

Here’s what that looks like in practice:

01
The right media mix for your market.We analyze your DMA, your competitive set, and your economics to build a plan that fits — not a template we run for every client.
02
Attribution you can actually read.We track branded search lift, blended cost per lead, close rates, and revenue per lead. You see what every channel produces and what it costs. No black boxes.
03
A blended CPL that drops, not climbs.When demand creation works, your branded leads go up. Branded leads close at higher rates, on bigger tickets, at lower cost. Your overall CPL comes down even as your volume goes up. That’s the math most agencies never show you.
