GOOGLE ADS FOR CHRISTMAS LIGHT INSTALLATION.
I run Google Ads for Christmas light installation and holiday lighting companies across Canada and the US, so your fall calendar fills with full rooflines, commercial displays and repeat clients before the rush.
THE SEASON RUNS ON A TIMER.
Christmas light installers get a few busy weeks to book the whole year. So the account follows a schedule, and every phase has its own job.
Launch
Ads go live while competitors are quiet, so early planners and commercial clients book first.
Ad focus: book earlyFill the calendar
Searches climb fast, and then the best install dates disappear.
Ad focus: rooflines and treesPeak and waitlist
Once dates fill up, spend shifts to permanent lighting and next year's waitlist.
Ad focus: limited spots leftLast installs
Late searchers still book, especially small homes and commercial touch-ups.
Ad focus: still time this yearTakedown and rebook
Takedown day is the best time to lock in next year, so the season pays twice.
Ad focus: rebook past clientsIllustration of a typical four-season market, so your dates will differ.
