THE LOCAL MARKET

What winning homeowners in Merced takes.

The university adds landlords

UC Merced brings students and staff who need places to live, and someone owns those rentals. Landlords buy differently from families: they want durable, fast, and priced for the return. We give rental owners their own ads and questions so they don’t clog the pipeline for homeowner projects.

Owners who plan to stay

Families who own in Merced and plan to stay spend on comfort: a new system, a roof, a kitchen, solar. Their ads lead with how your crew treats the house and how the visit works. Different footage, different page, same city.

Toward the mountains on 140

Hwy 140 heads out of Merced toward Yosemite. If you take foothill jobs that way, they get their own ad area and questions on access and timing, so a long drive is never a surprise to you or the homeowner.

Search helps in the county seat

A bigger town means more homeowners typing what they need into Google. On larger scopes we run search ads alongside video, so you catch the ready-to-hire owner as well as the one who’s still deciding.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS

Questions we hear.

Do you film in Merced?

Yes, on scheduled shoots. We line up a day around jobs you’re running in town and quote travel before booking. We don’t have an office in Merced; BlueSmith is based in the Fresno area.

Can you target landlords near UC Merced separately?

Yes. Rental owners get their own ads and a page that asks about unit count, turnover timing, and budget. Homeowners who live in the house get a different page entirely.

Do you run Google Ads in Merced too?

On larger scopes, yes. Video on Facebook and Instagram builds demand; search catches people already looking. We judge both on signed jobs, not clicks.

Do you work with painters on whole-house jobs?

Yes. Whole-house exterior and interior repaints fit Merced well, for owners and for landlords between tenants. The page asks for house size, stories, and timing so the estimate starts close to right.
