Thunder Bay Pay Per Click (PPC) Advertising
Thunder Bay businesses cannot afford to wait months for results, especially in industries where seasonality and urgency drive revenue. Whether you are based in Current River, McKellar Park, or Rosslyn Village, a strategic PPC campaign delivers immediate visibility, real-time leads, and scalable conversions.
At Web Design North, we manage PPC campaigns designed for Northern Ontario. Every ad is backed by precision: local keyword data, geo-targeting, ad extensions, and landing pages built to convert. We do not just drive clicks—we drive revenue.
Results-Driven PPC Tailored to Thunder Bay’s Geography
Every Thunder Bay neighborhood tells a different story. A cottage owner in Pass Lake searching for seasonal plumbing help behaves differently than a business manager in Intercity researching commercial HVAC.
That is why we build PPC strategies that:
Target specific neighborhoods and outlying towns (Murillo, Shuniah, Oliver Paipoonge)
Reflect local lingo and search trends.
Use ad extensions that showcase Thunder Bay trust signals like “locally owned,” “County Fair pickup,” or “Red River Road showroom.”
Optimize for seasonal traffic (e.g., winterizing, tourism, construction booms)
You only pay when someone clicks—with every click strategically designed to lead to action.
Case Study: Craig Plumbing Centre – Google Ads Done Right
Craig Plumbing Centre
Craig Plumbing Centre wanted to boost showroom traffic and generate leads for new installations. Our Google Ads campaign:
Targeted homeowners in Thunder Bay’s expanding suburbs like Parkdale and Vickers Heights
Aligned ads with seasonal offers (e.g., bathroom renovation incentives before winter)
Increased click-through rates by 108%
Lowered cost-per-click by 33%
Drive measurable foot traffic to their showroom from McKellar Park, Fort William, and Northwood
With precise targeting, custom landing pages, and ongoing optimization, we helped Craig Plumbing turn paid traffic into loyal customers.
Pay-Per-Click Advertising (PPC)
Our keyword strategy, meticulously designed to capture both seasonal interest (e.g., “pool builder Thunder Bay,” “hot tub financing Thunder Bay”) and year-round demand (e.g., “kitchen faucet installation,” “bathroom renovation Thunder Bay”), was a key element in our campaign. Using a mix of Google Search and Display ads, we tailored campaigns for every buyer journey stage, from quick service requests to longer lead-time renovations.
The ad copy emphasized financing options, showroom visits, and the company’s long-standing reputation in Thunder Bay. At the same time, location extensions, call buttons, and lead form assets improved ad interaction and mobile conversions.
We also split-tested headlines like:
“Build Your Dream Pool – Inground & Above Ground Options”
“Thunder Bay’s Trusted Hot Tub Experts – Book Now”
“Home Water Treatment Experts – Financing Available”
Results:
Click-through rates over 7% on branded campaigns
Cost-per-lead reduced by 28% after refining audience targeting
Steady increase in showroom foot traffic and service form submissions
Strong performance during key buying months (May-August) with pool and spa-specific ad groups
The Craig Plumbing campaign proves that, in the right hands, PPC doesn’t just bring traffic, it brings buyers ready to act.
