Niagara North Contracting
Challenge. Niagara North Contracting, a concrete contractor in the Niagara Region, partnered with LeadGulls to move past seasonal dry spells and build a predictable pipeline of high-ticket concrete projects.
Meta Ads. In under two months, LeadGulls launched a targeted Meta advertising campaign for local homeowners looking for concrete work. Spending $1,285.94, the campaign generated 74,313 impressions, reached 26,970 local prospects, and delivered 59 exclusive leads at a $21.80 cost per lead and a $1.83 cost per click.
Results. Those inquiries let Niagara North Contracting book out its 2026 installation calendar and secure bookings through March 2027. The owner wrote:
I’ve been working with LeadGulls for almost 2 months now and they have helped me generate lots of new leads through social media and SEO marketing for my concrete contracting company. Ahmet and his team have very good communication and are always available when I have questions, I would recommend their digital marketing agency to anyone!
AI SEO. Alongside the ads, LeadGulls ran an AI-driven local SEO program for high-intent concrete searches in the region: AI-assisted keyword architecture, hyper-local service pages, and search optimization. That work generated 102 organic leads to the contractor’s inbox and a compounding source of jobs, with top local rankings for the queries it targeted.
Google Ads · Remodeling
One Stop Remodeling
One Stop Remodeling engaged LeadGulls to generate homeowner leads through Google Ads across core service lines, countertops and full remodel. We supported the campaigns with conversion tracking for form submissions and calls from ads.
Campaign period: November 7, 2025 to July 6, 2026.
Countertops and remodel campaigns drove most conversions and traded the lead position as seasonal demand and creative refreshes changed. Countertops produced the two highest single-day conversion spikes early on. Remodel had its strongest day later in the window. Direct calls from ads and the success-page conversion tag added a smaller share, so lead flow did not depend on one source.
Meta Ads · Hardscaping and landscaping
Premier Craft Interlock and Landscaping
Premier Craft Interlock and Landscaping engaged LeadGulls to generate homeowner leads through Meta advertising for interlock, patio, and landscaping installation. We structured five ad sets to test creative and audience variations, so budget could shift to the best-performing combination instead of a single blended approach.
Blended cost per lead across all lead-generating ad sets: $24.22.
| Ad set | Leads | Cost per lead | People reached | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strongest | 235 | $23.34 | 77,416 | Scaled budget |
| Second | 62 | $26.12 | 31,961 | Kept running |
| Third | 34 | $23.19 | 18,844 | In line with top performers |
| Lower volume | 4 | $54.70 | 5,589 | Paused: more than double the cost of the leaders |
| Fifth | 0 | No spend | No spend | Paused before exiting the learning phase |
For Niagara contractors the lesson is the method: test several creatives and audiences, track every call and form, and move budget toward what produces the cheapest qualified lead.
Our Google reviews
Niagara facts that shape your marketing
The Niagara Region is made up of 12 municipalities on Ontario’s Niagara Peninsula, between Lake Ontario and Lake Erie. A roofer in St. Catharines and a plumber in Fort Erie reach different homeowners with different competitors. Ads and landing pages should match the municipalities your crews actually serve.
Winter shapes the year. Freeze-thaw cycles, ice, and heavy snow lead to spring searches for roof, eavestrough, foundation, masonry, and driveway repair, and the same weather pushes paving, interlock, and landscaping into a busy spring-to-fall season. Summer lifts air conditioning, pool, deck, and fence work. Fall brings roofing, eavestrough, and furnace tune-ups.
Housing varies across the region. Older homes in St. Catharines, Welland, Port Colborne, and Thorold drive repair, waterproofing, electrical upgrade, and renovation work. Newer growth in Niagara Falls, Pelham, Lincoln, Grimsby, and West Lincoln leans toward new-build finishing, landscaping, interlock, decks, and fences. Niagara-on-the-Lake and wine-country properties often mean higher-end renovation and outdoor projects.
Tourism, short-term rentals, Brock University and Niagara College housing, and the QEW corridor add commercial and rental-property work for trades such as electrical, plumbing, restoration, paving, and painting.
| Season | Trades that feel it | Campaign focus |
|---|---|---|
| Spring | Roofing, eavestroughs, foundation, masonry, paving, landscaping, interlock | Winter-damage repair estimates, driveway paving and sealcoating offers, patio and interlock booking |
| Summer | HVAC, pools, decks, fences, windows, solar, painting | AC repair and install, outdoor living projects, exterior renovation estimates |
| Fall | Roofing, siding, eavestroughs, furnace tune-ups, paving | Pre-winter repair and maintenance offers, last-chance paving and landscaping slots |
| Winter | Heating, plumbing, restoration, remodeling, countertops, basements | Emergency calls and indoor project leads, early-booking offers for spring work |
