Pressure and power washing leads

Stop paying for the same pressure washing lead as everyone else.

They looked at their siding and decided today, so they search before they scroll. That is why your money goes to Google first.

Stop competing on price before you have said a word
Pick up repeat commercial accounts, not just driveways

For pressure washing, Google comes first because the customer already typed the need, Local Services Ads deliver pay per lead under the Window Cleaning category, and Meta comes second for the HOA letter and pre-listing demand that never becomes a search.

Read the customer, then pick the channel

A pressure washing lead is somebody who looked at their driveway, their siding, or an HOA letter, and decided today. The next thing they do is search. That is why this trade is Google first: the intent already exists, in words, and the cheapest lead is the one who told Google what they wanted. Meta can create the want, and does it well with a before and after, but creating demand costs more than catching it, and it should never be the channel you run before the catching is done.

The order matters more than the split. Search and Local Services Ads go on first and pay for themselves inside the spring. Meta goes on once the site is converting, because a Meta lead who lands on a page with no price and no photo is a wasted lead at any cost.

Google first. The numbers behind the verdict.

Why it comes first: Google first. Somebody looks at the pollen and winter grime on their siding, types house washing near me into their phone, and calls the top result. Facebook fills the rest of your spring, showing before and after photos to the neighbor who has not gone looking yet.
Google Ads, cost per click: $4 to $10 residential terms, $10 to $20 commercial terms (ClicksGeek); $8 to $25 for 'pressure washing near me' in competitive metros (Valley Marketing Group); LocaliQ Home & Home Improvement category average $8.33 cost per click and $90.92 cost per lead (clicksgeek.com and thevalleymarketinggroup.com, 2026)
Meta, cost per lead: $15 to $50 per lead (LeadSync); $15 to $25 target with $40 to $50 as the adjust-or-kill threshold (ClicksGeek) (leadsync.me and clicksgeek.com, 2026)
Local Services Ads: There is no pressure washing category. You sign up under window cleaning and pick power washing as a job type, which many owners miss. Leads run $15 to $45 (Blue Grid, 2026).
Second channel: Facebook and Instagram, once Google is covered. Before and after photos put the work in front of people who were not searching yet, when pollen hits or an association letter lands.

What the guide to each channel says

Search ads are bought by surface. "Driveway cleaning" and "roof soft wash" are different campaigns with different landing pages, because a driveway click that lands on a roof page does not book. Residential clicks cost less than commercial ones and convert better in the spring, so budgets shift with the season rather than sitting flat.

Local Services Ads are the odd one out. There is no pressure washing category; you enrol under Window Cleaning and pick the power washing job type, pass the licence, insurance and background checks, and pay per lead rather than per click. That is the badge homeowners see first, and almost no pressure washer has it.

Meta is for the two triggers that do not start with a search: the HOA violation letter with a fourteen to thirty day cure window, and the house going on the market that needs photos in two weeks. A split screen before and after of a driveway, aimed at homeowners within fifteen to thirty miles, with a lead form that asks the surface and the town.

How the leads get handled, because that is half the cost

A lead that waits an hour for a call back is a lead that got three other quotes. Every lead from every channel lands in the CRM, gets a text back within minutes, and is followed up until it books or says no. Cost per lead is reported weekly, per channel, in plain numbers, and so is cost per booked job, which is the only one that matters.

Questions about lead generation for pressure washing companies

Should a pressure washing company run Google Ads or Facebook ads first?

Google first. The customer already searched, so the lead is cheaper to catch than to create. Meta comes second, for the HOA letter and pre-listing demand, once the site converts search traffic.

Can a pressure washing company use Google Local Services Ads?

Yes, but not under its own name. There is no pressure washing category, so you enrol under Window Cleaning and select the power washing job type. You pay per lead, not per click, and you get the Google Verified badge after the licence and insurance checks.

What does pressure washing lead generation cost?

$750 a month per service area to manage, plus your ad spend, which you pay direct. Search clicks and Local Services leads run in the ranges shown on this page, from the sources named beside them.

How many leads should a pressure washing company expect?

It depends on the town, the season and the budget, so we do not quote a number before we have seen your market. What we report is cost per lead and cost per booked job, weekly, per channel, and we adjust the split as the spring moves.

Do you run ads for two pressure washing companies in the same area?

No. One company per trade per service area, first come first served, for as long as you are a client. Your competitor is not our client in your towns.
