These are questions junk removal owners ask about advertising, answered from Google’s and the FTC’s own published rules. If yours is not here, use the contact page.
Junk Removal Advertising is an independent referral service, not a marketing agency. When you send the form, your details go to an independent marketing agency that prepares any proposal and does any work.
Why there are no prices or results on this site
Many owners ask what marketing costs or how many calls it brings. Both depend on your area, your competitors, your jobs and your budget, so any figure printed here would mislead you. The agency puts its terms in its proposal, and you can compare them with any other offer. As for results, Google says no one can promise a top ranking, and a promise of a number of leads before anyone has looked at your market is not one to trust.

No. Junk Removal Advertising is an independent referral service, not a marketing agency. When you send the form, your details go to an independent marketing agency that prepares any proposal and does any work.
Does it cost anything to ask for a proposal?

One independent marketing agency that works with junk removal companies. It can contact you by phone or email. See the privacy policy.
Can I ask from any state?

How do I advertise my junk removal business?
Start with a complete Google Business Profile, a fast website and lettering on your trucks. Ask every customer for an honest review. Add door hangers and referral partners, then paid ads. See how to advertise a junk removal business.
How do I find clients for junk removal?
Many homeowners look on Google, so your listing and website come first. Real estate agents, property managers, landlords and contractors bring repeat work. See junk removal marketing.
Can I pay Google for a better spot on the map?
No. Google says there is no way to request or pay for a better local ranking. Local results are mainly based on relevance, distance and popularity.
Should I remove my address from Google because I drive to customers?
No. Keep your real address and add the towns you serve as your service area. Google lets a business enter both.
Can I add junk removal near me to my business name on Google?
No. Google’s guidelines say your profile name should be your real-world business name, and keywords do not belong in it.
Can I reward customers for reviews?
Not on Google: its Maps policy bans payment, discounts or free services in exchange for reviews, and asking only happy customers. The FTC’s Consumer Reviews and Testimonials Rule, in effect since October 21, 2024, bans rewards for reviews that must say something good or bad.
Is SEO still worth it for a junk removal company?
It can be. Google says it costs nothing to appear in its search results, and good pages can bring visits without a charge per click. See junk removal SEO.
How much should I pay for SEO?
It depends on your area and what needs doing. Ask any agency how its fee is worked out, what it will do first and how it will measure progress, and compare proposals.
Can anyone promise me the top of Google?
No. Google’s own advice is that no one can promise a top ranking, and that an SEO who promises first place should be passed over.
Is a small daily budget enough for Google Ads?
It depends on what clicks cost for your jobs in your area. Google lets you set a daily budget and change it at any time. A small budget usually goes further aimed at one main job in your nearest towns. See Google Ads for junk removal.
What do I pay for a click?
Google says the actual cost per click is the final amount you are charged, and it is often less than your maximum bid.
What are Local Services Ads?
Google’s pay-per-lead ads. Leads arrive as calls and messages through the ad, and Google says you pay only for leads related to your business. Check eligibility for junk removal in your area in Google’s sign-up. See junk removal leads.
Exclusive or shared leads?
Exclusive leads go to you alone; shared leads go to several companies. Ask any seller which you are buying and get it in writing.
Do I need a website if I have a Google listing?
Having both helps. The website answers questions, gives ads a place to land and can earn search visits. See junk removal website design.
What questions should I ask a marketing agency?
Google suggests asking for examples of previous work, whether they follow the Google Search Essentials, what results they expect and when, how they measure success, their experience in your industry and city, and whether they will share every change they make.
Will I own my accounts?
Make sure you do. Ask before signing that your website, domain, Google listing and ad accounts are in your name, with the agency given access.
Can I email my past customers?
If you do, the CAN-SPAM Act applies: identify the message as an ad, include your valid physical postal address, tell people how to opt out and honor opt-outs within 10 business days. For anything you are unsure of, ask a lawyer.
What is a catchy name for junk removal?
A short name that is easy to say, spell and read on a truck. See junk removal company names and branding.
Do I need an LLC to do junk removal?
That is a legal and tax question that depends on your state. Ask a lawyer or a tax professional.
Is this site for dumpster rental and demolition companies too?
Yes. See dumpster rental marketing, demolition marketing and estate cleanout marketing.
