Summary:
Utilizing construction video marketing in Facebook and YouTube boosts social media engagement and organic search results for highly competitive terms like "home remodeling". The search phrase "home remodeling"costs up to $11.49 per click in Google Adwords. As a general rule, paid per click marketing would typical have a conversion rate of 2%. That means, it could cost about $574 for one lead. That's more than the cost of our starter package which can be used forever as part of a contractors marketing strategy. Additionally, since construction and home remodeling jobs often require one or more in-person meetings, we strongly recommend that contractors convert their videos into print video brochures to further maximize their investment and ROI. In short, contractor video marketing works and is highly cost effective, especially compared to Adwords pay per click marketing.
