How UrCovered Construction Generated 60 Custom Home Leads with Google Ads
A middle Tennessee builder of custom homes and barndominiums needed qualified leads from homeowners ready to build. We created dedicated campaigns that delivered 60 conversions.
Reaching Custom Home Buyers in a Niche Market
UrCovered Construction builds custom homes and barndominiums in the middle Tennessee area. The barndominium market is a growing niche with high search volume but also high irrelevant traffic — people searching for barndominium loans, pre-built kits, and DIY plans rather than custom construction services. They needed a Google Ads strategy that could reach qualified buyers while filtering out the noise.
Dedicated Barndominium Campaign with Precision Negatives
We created a dedicated barndominium campaign alongside the general custom home campaign, allowing separate budgets, bidding, and keyword strategies for each service line. Exact match was used for full-length terms and phrase match for root keywords, following a 60-40 to 70-30 ratio between general and specific keywords.
A comprehensive negative keyword list excluded irrelevant searches — 'Morton barn homes,' 'barndominium construction loans,' and DIY-related terms — ensuring ad spend reached only homeowners ready to hire a builder. Sitelinks were added to improve click-through rates and drive users to relevant landing pages.
Lead Volume Growth
With custom homes in middle Tennessee ranging from $500,000 to over $1 million and barndominiums from $200,000 to $500,000, each $239 lead has extraordinary revenue potential. By creating a dedicated barndominium campaign with precision negative keywords, we grew lead volume 300% — from 15 to 60 qualified inquiries from homeowners ready to build.
