About American Chimney Gutter & Roofing

American Chimney Gutter & Roofing (American CGR) is a locally owned, full-service home exterior contractor based in Marietta, Georgia. Founded by owner Richard Hyde as a residential contracting company in 1995, the business has grown into a specialist in everything above the roofline: chimney repair, inspection, and sweeping; gutter repair and cleaning; and roof repair, replacement, and storm damage work. Hyde holds the title of Master Chimney Sweep, and the licensed and insured team serves homeowners across Cobb, Bartow, Cherokee, and Paulding counties with preventive maintenance packages, confirmation calls before every visit, and a No Mess Guarantee.

Challenge

American CGR is a family business, and its call volume had been steadily declining. A previous marketing agency had left the account with compliance issues that only came to light after onboarding, and the family had been through several disappointing agency relationships. The company needed its paid search budget to produce booked chimney, gutter, and roofing appointments again, not just clicks, in a crowded Northwest Georgia home services market where storm season and fireplace season drive sharp swings in demand. SmartSites set out to restructure the Google Ads account around high-intent service searches and turn more of the existing traffic into calls and quote requests.
