What your ad looks like

The Google ad we would write for your removals firm

A removals ad that earns the call says what size of move you handle, where you are based and how quotes work. People moving house worry about breakages and no-shows. So a BAR badge, goods in transit and public liability cover, and a free home survey matter more than a cheap headline. Sitelinks and call assets take each visitor to packing, storage or office moves. It runs as a responsive search ad with callouts for free surveys, and ad tests show which headline books more of them.

✓ Headlines written per move type and town

✓ Trade badge, call and location assets set up

QUICK ANSWER

How does PPC for removal companies work?

PPC for removal companies shows your firm at the top of Google when someone nearby searches “house removals near me” or “removal company quotes”. You pay per click, not per move. Good accounts split house, office and long distance moves, block man and van and single-item searches, and count booked surveys, not just form fills.

What you get

What our removals PPC management includes

Built for family-run removals firms, storage operators and commercial movers who want whole-house jobs. It runs inside our Google Ads management service and next to your SEO for removal companies, so one keyword list and one set of survey data steer both. Some call this moving company marketing; we judge it only on booked moves. Our PPC for moving companies starts with keyword research on the moves you want.

Pay per lead

Removals searches we bid on

Removals Google Ads split by the move and its value

A family selling a four-bed house and a student moving a few boxes search with different words and are worth very different bids. So each move type is priced on its own, and single-item jobs are kept out. Membership of the British Association of Removers goes into the ad when you hold it. Your site closes the booking, which is why campaigns point at websites for removal companies built around the survey form.

Account structure

How we structure Google Ads for a removals business

Whole-house moves and small jobs never share a budget. A family booking a move compares two or three surveys, while someone shifting a single wardrobe just wants the cheapest van. So each move type gets its own campaign, ads and landing page, with one negative list, call tracking and booked-move import. Bidding starts on Maximise Conversions, then moves to Target CPA once surveys flow. Ads Starter runs one campaign; Growth and Premium add the rest. That is Smart Bidding fed with booked moves, not form fills. Ads show only inside your depot radius, with the Presence setting on.

Waste control

Where removals ad budgets leak, and how we plug them

Google Ads for moving companies pull in people who will never book a full move. Think someone after one sofa moved, van hire, removal driver jobs, or a Google removal request. Every week we read the search terms, block the ones that never book and check which enquiries turned into a survey. Fewer wasted clicks means a lower cost per move.

✓ Removals negative list live from day one

✓ Each survey tied to the keyword that won it

Search terms report

“house removals bolton” → kept, bid up in your area

“man with van sofa”, “van hire”, “removal driver jobs” → added to negatives, never paid for again

Ads vs lead sites

Removal company advertising: Google Ads vs lead sites

Many removals firms buy leads from comparison sites such as Compare My Move and reallymoving, or list on Checkatrade and Bark. Back in 2017, one industry article priced comparison leads at £5.95 a lead, cheaper per job than its own Google Ads example. The catch is that the same mover is sent to several firms. Here is how your own removal company advertising compares, row by row.

Pricing

How much do Google Ads cost for a removal company?

There are two separate bills. Our flat fee covers the work and never rises with spend. Your ad budget goes to Google on your own card. For removal company Google Ads, Prime Digital put typical UK CPC at £1.50 to £4, with London higher. So in week one we set a target cost per survey, your real cost per lead, for each move type. Plans start with 3 months, then roll monthly. Keyword Planner shows local click prices, and reports list impression share and conversion rate from click to survey.

Watch for these

Four Google Ads mistakes that cost removals firms moves

Most removal company Google Ads accounts we look at leak money in the same four places, and a bigger budget fixes none of them.

Mistake 1

Small moves

Sofa and fridge jobs eating the house-move budget.

Mistake 2

Broad match

Broad match and Performance Max pulling in van hire and driver jobs.

Mistake 3

Homepage clicks

Ads landing on a page with no survey form.

Mistake 4

Form-fill counting

Counting forms, not surveys or booked moves.

FAQ

Google Ads for removal companies: real questions, straight answers

They can be, if the account chases full moves. One removals firm spent a steady £800 to £1,000 a month. After a rebuild with a dedicated landing page and call tracking, its cost per enquiry fell to about £30. Ads stop paying when small moves, van hire and job searches eat the budget. Judge them on cost per booked move. Our case studies show how we report.

You pay Google for clicks and you pay us to run them. Management is £395, £595 or £895 a month, with ad spend on top and never a percentage of it. A 2025 UK guide put most removals clicks at £1.50 to £4, with London above £6. We set a target cost per survey in week one. Our free tools include a cost per lead calculator.

Add negative keywords at account level for single items and small jobs, such as sofa, fridge, freezer and man with van. Then write ads that pre-qualify, for example “3+ bedroom house moves”. Check the search terms report weekly, because new small-job phrases keep turning up.

Yes. Moving services is one of the categories on Google’s UK Local Services Ads list. You pay per lead rather than per click, after Google screens the business. We run it next to Search campaigns, because Local Services Ads give little control over which move sizes come through.

Lead sites are quick to switch on and can be cheaper per job when they work. The catch is that each lead usually goes to several firms at once, and you never see what the person searched. Your own ads take longer to tune, but the enquiry is yours alone. Many firms run both while the ads bed in.

You pay per lead, not per click, and Google sets the typical price by category and area. One UK agency that runs them for removals firms says lead costs typically range from £10 to £30, varying by industry. You set a weekly budget, and leads that are clearly not removals work can be disputed for a credit.

Often, as a second channel. You only pay when someone contacts you, and the Google Verified badge helps people who worry about rogue movers. The downside is control: you cannot pick move sizes or block small jobs the way you can in Search. Most firms get the best results running both side by side.

Usually because of broad match. A loose keyword like “removals” matches “removal jobs”, “van for sale” and even Google removal requests. Use phrase and exact match on move searches, add job, training, course, free and van hire as negatives, and read the search terms report every week. A free audit shows which searches you are paying for.

Only for a narrow test. With removals clicks at roughly £1.50 to £4 in one UK guide, £10 buys a handful of clicks a day. That can cover house removals in one town if small-move searches are blocked. For office moves and several towns, work back from the surveys you want.

Moving company Google Ads can bring survey requests in the first week, because people search once a completion date is in sight. Booked moves follow a few weeks later, after the survey and quote. Timing follows completion dates, so some weeks are far busier than others. We judge cost per booked move across the first 90 days.
