You're an afterthought to most marketers
Agencies chase HVAC and roofing. Septic gets ignored, so the search space is wide open — but only until someone claims it. Right now that can be you.

The problem
Why septic companies are losing leads right now
High-ticket installs hide behind cheap pumping calls
The money is in $8k–$30k system replacements and new installs, but lead sites bury you under $300 pumping calls. You need to reach the homeowner researching a full replacement.
Buyers don't understand the decision
Conventional vs mound vs aerobic, permits, perc tests, repair vs replace — homeowners ask ChatGPT all of it before calling anyone. Whoever's in that answer earns the install.
Why now
ChatGPT just opened its ad platform. Almost nobody knows yet.
This is what a real sponsored result looks like inside ChatGPT — a labeled ad appearing right under the answer, exactly when someone asks about your service:
- OpenAI's Ads Manager went self-serve in May 2026, open to any US business - most home-service contractors just haven't signed up yet.
- The big agencies (WPP, Omnicom, Publicis) are chasing national brands. Nobody is doing this for local contractors.
- Ads appear right when someone asks ChatGPT how to solve the exact problem you fix — high-intent, decision-ready moments.
- First movers lock in the cheapest clicks and the category before it gets crowded.

Why this works for septic companies
Built for how your customers actually buy
A septic install or replacement is a $8,000–$30,000 considered purchase, and even the repair-vs-replace decision sends homeowners researching for days — system types, permits, perc tests, and which installer to trust. That research now happens in ChatGPT, in a niche almost no agency competes for. A labeled sponsored result for your company at that moment captures the high-ticket job before a competitor is even visible — and the service relationship that follows is recurring revenue.

We write your ads, set up your ChatGPT Ads beta account, and launch — plus Google as a proven backstop. $997 covers full setup.
03
Leads start flowing
$497/mo flat to manage everything. You fund the ad budget ($1,500/mo for the first 90 days, paid to OpenAI/Google). We optimize weekly.
04
You see the numbers
Monthly reporting on clicks, leads, and cost — so you know exactly what you're getting.
Simple, flat pricing
$997 one-time setup
$497/mo flat management
$1,500/mo ad spend for the first 90 days (paid directly to OpenAI/Google, not to us), then flexible — the 90-day runway gives the campaigns enough volume to prove out
$497/mo is a flat management fee — never a percentage of your ad spend. Your ad budget is paid directly to OpenAI/Google, not to us. Flat $497/mo up to $2,000/mo ad spend; +10–15% on spend above $2,000/mo.

Questions septic companies ask
Do ChatGPT ads work for emergency septic failures?
ChatGPT Ads is strongest for the research phase — installs, replacements, repair-vs-replace. For 'septic backing up now' urgency we lean on the Google campaigns we run alongside it, which capture that immediate intent.
Will this just bring me low-dollar pumping calls?
No — we build the campaign around the searches that signal install and replacement intent, the high-ticket work. The recurring service customers come along with those relationships over time.
Is $1,000/mo enough for septic?
It's a real test budget, and septic clicks are cheap because so few companies advertise here. A single install pays for the year — we usually step toward $1,500/mo once the first jobs close to keep volume steady.
What is ChatGPT Ads?
OpenAI now shows clearly-labeled sponsored results at the bottom of ChatGPT answers for free and Go-tier users in the US. When someone asks ChatGPT about a service you offer, your ad can appear right there. It launched self-serve in May 2026 and is still in beta — which is exactly why being early matters.
Is this instead of Google Ads?
No — it's an edge on top of it. We run Google Search and Performance Max as your proven workhorse and layer ChatGPT Ads as the first-mover advantage. You get both for one flat fee.
How much does it cost?
$997 one-time setup, then $497/mo flat to manage everything. You fund your own ad budget directly to OpenAI/Google — $1,500/mo for the first 90 days so the campaigns have enough runway to prove out, then you can adjust. No percentage-of-spend markup. Management has a 90-day minimum commitment (3 months) so the campaigns have time to optimize, then it continues month-to-month.
How fast do I see results?
Campaigns are typically live within a week of setup. ChatGPT Ads is a new channel with no industry benchmarks yet, so we run it as a test-and-learn alongside Google, which produces leads from day one. That's exactly why management runs on a 90-day minimum — it gives the campaigns enough runway to optimize and prove out.
Why should I trust a new channel?
You're not betting the business on it — Google carries the load while ChatGPT Ads gives you a head start nobody else in your market has. The 90-day minimum commitment is there so we can optimize properly rather than judge a brand-new channel on a single month. Being first is the whole point.
