The Challenge

A carpet cleaning company in Modesto, CA had been in business for a while, but had big goals for 2026. They wanted to grow, get more leads, and show up better online to help them win more customers.

When they joined BookCleaningJobs, this company had never run paid ads on Google before. We started with a fresh Google Ads account.

There was:

• No past Google Ads conversion data

• No machine learning history

• No proven ad account structure yet

• New landing pages that needed to start converting

That meant we had to build momentum from the ground up. And we had to do it fast.

Our Comprehensive Growth Plan Strategy For Carpet Cleaners

This client signed up for the BookCleaningJobs GROWTH Plan, which is a step up from our basic Google Ads package. The GROWTH Plan is a comprehensive online marketing package that helps you bring in more customers with both organic and paid traffic (SEO + Google Ads). We did a little more than run their ads - we worked on their full online presence.

That included:

• Launching Google Ads to bring in leads quickly

• Revamping the website to build for conversion and more trust

• Building lead-focused landing pages for carpet and upholstery cleaning

• Optimizing their Google Business Profile for local searches

• Working on SEO & AEO to help them show up more over time

• Supporting their brand with social media content

The goal was simple: help them get seen, get clicked, and get contacted.

The First Big Win: Carpet & Upholstery Leads Started Coming In Fast

The campaigns launched on March 19, 2026. Even though March was only a partial month, the account started gaining traction quickly.

From March to April:

• Impressions grew from 4,051 to 8,588

• Clicks grew from 307 to 535

• Conversions grew from 36 to 67

• Conversion rate improved from 11.58% to 12.43%

• Cost per conversion dropped from $40.69 to $32.59

So in the first full month, this client got more traffic, more leads, and a lower cost per lead. That is exactly what we want to see from a new campaign.

Search Ads Became a Strong Lead Source

Search ads helped the company show up when people were actively looking for carpet cleaning and upholstery cleaning in the Modesto area.

In March, the Search campaign brought in:

• 111 clicks

• 12 conversions

• $56.27 cost per conversion

By April, it improved to:

• 226 clicks

• 30 conversions

• $45.61 cost per conversion

This showed that the campaign was getting smarter. Google was learning what types of searches were turning into real leads, and the results improved fast.

Performance Max Took Off in April

We often run Performance Max campaigns to help improve overall account results. But Performance Max can be tricky, and this campaign needed a little time to learn.

In March, it only had:

• 25 clicks

• 0 conversions

But by April, it had:

• 107 clicks

• 12 conversions

• $12.53 cost per conversion

That made Performance Max one of the best-performing parts of the account. Once the account had better signals, it started finding people who were more likely to contact the business.

Carpet Cleaning and Upholstery Cleaning Results Both Improved

Carpet Cleaning Services

Carpet cleaning became the biggest lead driver.

• March: 7 conversions at $75.52 each

• April: 20 conversions at $54.55 each

That is almost 3 times more carpet cleaning leads, with a lower cost per lead.

Upholstery Cleaning Services

Upholstery cleaning was also a strong win.

• March: 3 conversions at $44.10 each

• April: 8 conversions at $27.69 each

The conversion rate also improved from 15.79% to 19.05%.

That told us the local demand was there. We just needed to help the business get in front of the right people.

Competing With Big National Brands

One of the most exciting parts of this campaign was how quickly this local carpet cleaning company started showing up next to major names.

In the auction insights report, they reached:

• 32.63% impression share

• 70.06% top of page rate

• 36.13% absolute top of page rate

That means their ads were not just running. They were showing up in strong spots.

This local carpet cleaner had higher impression share than big competitors like:

• Stanley Steemer

• SERVPRO

• COIT Cleaning & Restoration

• Thumbtack

For a newer campaign, that is a huge early win.

Results After First Full Month

By the end of April, this Growth Plan client had:

• 103 total conversions

• 67 conversions in the first full month

• $35.42 average cost per conversion

• 32.63% impression share

• Strong visibility against national competitors

• A stronger website and local online presence

• SEO, AEO, GBP, and social media work building for long-term growth
