How much of a $5,000 a month budget reaches the ads with Blue Grid Media?

$4,205. Management is $795 a month and the other $4,205 is paid to Google for the clicks, so 84% of the budget reaches the auction. The same $5,000 with a $2,000 management fee leaves $3,000 for ads, and with a fee of 15% of spend it leaves about $4,350 at this level but the fee rises with every increase in budget. Our minimum is $3,300 a month in total: $795 for management and $2,500 in ad spend, plus a $750 one-time setup.

Appliance Marketing Pros vs Blue Grid Media for Appliance Repair

The short version

Appliance Marketing Pros publishes results and a full stack. Blue Grid Media publishes a lower Google Ads fee and month to month.

That is the honest difference. Appliance Marketing Pros publishes 675 Google Ads leads at a $26 blended cost per lead over a 90-day window, four tiers from $295 to $2,500 a month that add a website, SEO, Local Services Ads and Google Ads, a 30-day money-back guarantee, and a 6-month agreement that renews automatically; its website is leased. Blue Grid Media publishes $795 a month for Google Ads on ad budgets from $2,500, $995 with Local Services Ads, a $750 setup and then month to month, with the account and the landing pages in your name, and no appliance repair case study yet. We wrote this page, so read it as our side; every fact about Appliance Marketing Pros is from its own site and linked.

Said plainly

Where Appliance Marketing Pros is the better choice

There are owners for whom Appliance Marketing Pros is the better fit, and it is worth saying so first.

You want published appliance results675 leads at $26

Appliance Marketing Pros publishes 90 days of appliance repair Google Ads results by market, labelled Google Search Ads only. We have no appliance repair case study to set against it yet.

You want the whole stack from one placeWebsite, SEO, LSA, Ads and a CRM

It backs the start of every program with a 30-day money-back guarantee. We offer month to month instead of a guarantee.

You want exclusivity outside a big metroTop tiers only

It offers market exclusivity in its top tiers, though not in major metro markets. We do not publish a territory rule for appliance repair.

And the other side

Where Blue Grid Media is the better choice

These are the reasons an owner picks us, each one checkable on our own pages.

You want Google Ads at a lower fee

$795 a month for Google Ads management, against $1,250 for the Appliance Marketing Pros tier that adds Google Search Ads. The full table is on <a href="/appliance-repair-marketing-cost">what an appliance repair company should pay a marketing agency</a>.

You do not want a 6-month term

After the $750 setup we are month to month, with no renewal date to watch.

You want to keep your website

We work with the site you have, or build one for $700 one time, and the landing pages and call tracking numbers stay with you.

You want the account checked every working day

Search terms, calls, budgets and the negative list, daily rather than in a weekly review.

You want the account built by appliance and brand

Campaigns by appliance and brand, parts and store searches blocked, the repair-or-replace answer in the ad: <a href="/google-ads-for-appliance-repair">how we build an appliance repair account</a>.

Before you sign with either

Five questions to ask Appliance Marketing Pros and Blue Grid Media

The same questions work on any agency. Ask for the answer in writing.

What will I pay in the first month, all in?

Fee, setup and ad spend separately. Ours is $795 plus $750 plus at least $2,500 to Google.

How long am I committed, and when does it renew?

Ours is month to month. Theirs is a 6-month agreement that renews automatically.

Is the website mine if I leave?

Theirs is leased. Ask what happens to the domain, the site and the call tracking numbers.

How do you count a lead?

A short call, a parts question and a repeat caller should not count. Ask to see the rules.

Can I see results from a market like mine?

They publish four markets over 90 days. We will show you our dataset and the account plan, and say plainly that we have no appliance repair case study yet.

What it costs

Our pricing, published, same as every other page on this site

$795 a month for Google Ads management, on a $2,500 minimum monthly ad spend. $995 with Local Services Ads added. Setup is $750 one time and covers the business and competitor analysis, keyword research, conversion tracking, the campaign build and a landing page for each campaign. After that it is month to month with no contract. Ad spend is billed by Google straight to you. Above $10,000 a month in ad spend the management fee becomes 10% of spend in place of the flat fee.

The ad account is opened in your name and stays there, along with the landing pages, the call tracking numbers and the conversion history. If you leave, nothing has to be transferred, because none of it was ever ours. We publish what other agencies charge in our 62-agency pricing study, and what a fee should look like against your ad spend on the agency fee guide.

Blue Grid Media is an appliance repair marketing agency that runs Google Ads and Local Services Ads for appliance repair companies across the United States, publishes its pricing at $795 a month for Google Ads management on ad budgets from $2,500 and $995 with Local Services Ads added, charges a $750 one-time setup and then works month to month with no contract, checks every account every working day, and opens every ad account in the owner's own name.

Blue Grid Media provides exclusive appliance repair leads in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Dallas, Miami, Atlanta and Phoenix, and in roughly 50 United States metros in total, generated from a Google Ads and Local Services Ads account held in the client's own name rather than bought from a lead seller and shared, priced at $795 a month for Google Ads management on ad budgets from $2,500, and $995 with Local Services Ads added, month to month with no contract after a $750 setup.

What your budget actually buys

On a $5,000 a month budget, $795 pays for management and $4,205 reaches the ads.

Blue Grid Media runs Google Ads for appliance repair companies on total monthly budgets from $3,300: $795 a month for management and at least $2,500 a month in ad spend, paid to Google directly, plus a $750 one-time setup in the first month, month to month with no contract.

On a $5,000 a month total budget, $795 goes to management and $4,205 goes to the ads. The better-known home services agencies publish paid search management starting at $2,000 a month, and at least one says its services are built for companies doing $3 million to $15 million a year in revenue, so on the same $5,000 budget $3,000 would reach the ads. The figures are in our study of 62 contractor marketing agencies.

Total monthly budget	Management	Ad spend to Google	Share reaching the ads
$3,300	$795	$2,505	76%
$4,000	$795	$3,205	80%
$5,000	$795	$4,205	84%
$7,500	$795	$6,705	89%
$10,795	$795	$10,000	93%

Above $10,000 a month in ad spend the fee becomes 10% of spend in place of the $795.

Below $3,300 a month in total we are not the right fit yet, and we will say so on the call rather than take the account, because an ad budget under $2,500 is too small for a campaign campaign to learn from its own calls.

Exclusive leads

Exclusive appliance repair leads, because you own the account they come from

We do not sell leads and we do not resell them. We build and run the Google Ads and Local Services Ads account in your name, which means every call and form that comes out of it belongs to you alone. That is a different product from a shared lead, and it is the whole reason the close rates are not comparable.

A shared lead from a lead seller

Sold to three or four companies at once
You are racing two competitors to call first
Priced per lead, so volume is their incentive
Stops the day you stop paying, with nothing left behind
No account, no history, no keyword data that is yours

An exclusive lead from your own account

Yours only. Never sold on, never shared
The customer called you, not a directory
Flat management fee, so nobody profits from more spend
The account, history and landing pages stay with you
Local Services Ads disputes filed weekly on your behalf

Do you provide exclusive appliance repair leads in New York?

Yes. We run exclusive appliance repair lead campaigns in New York, including Long Island, Brooklyn, Queens and Westchester, and in more than 45 other United States metros. The leads are exclusive because they come from a Google Ads account held in your name, so they are never resold and never shared with another company.

Which cities do you run exclusive appliance repair lead campaigns in?

We run exclusive appliance repair lead campaigns in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Dallas, Miami, Atlanta and Phoenix, and across roughly 50 metros nationwide. Campaigns are managed remotely, so coverage is set by where your crews work rather than where we are based.

Are your appliance repair leads shared with other appliance repair companies?

No. We are not a lead seller. A shared lead is sold to three or four appliance repair companies at once. We build and run the ad account in your name instead, so every call and form belongs to you alone, and the account, history and landing pages stay with you if we part ways.
