A driveway click and a parking lot click are not the same buy.
Residential terms have run $4 to $10 a click and commercial terms $10 to $20 (ClicksGeek, 2026). Split the campaigns so you can see which one pays.
- Ad groups by surface, landing on that surface
- Search carries it, with no washing LSA category
- More budget in May, less in the January lull
Pressure washing searches split by surface: house, driveway, roof, deck, storefront. Each gets its own ad group and landing page, so the person who typed driveway sees a driveway. Commercial terms sit in a separate campaign because they cost more. Google's per-lead ads list no pressure washing category, so search is where the Google budget goes.
Do the driveway arithmetic first
In most mid-size markets 'pressure washing near me' costs $8 to $25 a click, and larger metros run higher (Valley Marketing Group, 2026). At those prices a $100 to $250 driveway (HomeAdvisor, 2025) covers only about 4 to 31 clicks. A $250 to $600 house wash covers far more. That is scale, not a forecast, and it is why driveway ads offer the add-on while the house wash carries the bid.
Can a washer pay per lead on Google?
Not as a washer. Local Services Ads bill per lead, but the trades Google accepts there leave out pressure washing. A company that also does window cleaning can check, while signing up, whether that category matches the crew's real services, and its leads would be for windows. Search bills per click, so what each lead costs comes down to the page: a price by surface and a short form.

A few things you might be wondering
Which pressure washing searches are worth bidding on?
Near me terms, the surface terms such as house, driveway, roof and deck, and the cost questions. People use power washing and pressure washing for the same job, so bid on both. Commercial and storefront terms go in their own campaign, with their own budget.
Which searches should be blocked?
The ones from people buying a machine or starting a business. Google's suggestions for "is pressure washing" lean to "a good business" and "profitable". Rental, equipment, how-to and job searches go on the negative list from day one.
Can a washer get the Google Verified badge?
Only a business approved in one of Google's Local Services categories gets it, and pressure washing is not on that list. Google replaced the Google Guaranteed badge with Google Verified on October 20, 2025, and ended its money-back guarantee (Google, 2025). Without the badge, your insurance certificate and recent reviews carry that trust on your own site.
How much should washing budgets swing by season?
A lot. Raise budgets as spring starts, peak in May, hold through summer deck season, and trim through the November to January lull. Keep commercial search running in winter, while property managers take bids for next year.
