Sheet metal shop marketing that brings in quote requests.

Buyers who search for custom sheet metal fabrication usually have a drawing, a quantity and a deadline. We build the campaign around the work your shop wants: enclosures, brackets, panels or short production runs. It's also the kind of shop our case study comes from.

01Who searches

Equipment builders, electrical and HVAC contractors, food equipment makers and OEMs that outsource enclosures, brackets and panels.

02The campaign

How we build it for sheet metal.

  1. 01

    Ad groups by part type

    Enclosures, brackets, panels and prototypes each get their own ads and keywords, so the buyer reads about the part they need.

  2. 02

    Your capacity in the ad

    Materials, gauges, press brake capacity and lead time go into the ad, so buyers who aren't a fit don't click.

  3. 03

    A quote page for drawings

    The form asks for the drawing, material, quantity and date needed, and accepts PDF, DXF and STEP files.

  4. 04

    Optimized for jobs won

    Every request is logged against the job it became, so budget moves to the searches that turn into orders, not just clicks.

Blocked before launch

Searches that look close but never become a quote request. They go on the negative list on day one.

  • sheet metal jobs
  • sheet metal worker salary
  • sheet metal brake for sale
  • diy sheet metal
  • sheet metal gauge chart
  • sheet metal course

The quote form asks for

  • Drawing (PDF, DXF or STEP)
  • Material and gauge
  • Prototype or production quantity
  • Date needed
  • Finishing and assembly

05FAQ

Common questions.

Have you run Google Ads for a sheet metal shop before?

Yes. Our case study is a Quebec sheet metal shop: about 19 quote requests a month at about $55 each, on $1,000 a month in ad spend, over 14 months. That's one client's result; past results don't guarantee future ones.

What if we only want production work, not one-offs?

Then the campaign says so. Ads and keywords focus on production and repeat parts, prototype searches are reduced, and the form asks about annual volume so your estimator can sort requests quickly.

How long before the first requests?

The campaign is live within 14 days, and requests can start as soon as the ads run. We guarantee at least 10 a month by day 60, with at least $1,000 a month in ad spend, or we work for free until you get there.
