Seasonal Marketing Strategies for Septic & Excavation Businesses

February 26, 20255 min read

Why Seasonal Marketing Matters for Your Septic & Excavation Business

If you own a septic or excavation business, you know that demand isn’t the same year-round. There are busy months where calls flood in, and then there are slow periods where you’re left wondering where the leads went. This ebb and flow can make it difficult to plan ahead, keep cash flow steady, and maximize your marketing budget.

We get it. You don’t want to waste money on marketing that doesn’t work. But what if you could adjust your strategy based on the season? At Excavation Marketing Pros, we specialize in helping businesses like yours attract leads when they need them most. This guide will break down exactly how to adjust your marketing approach throughout the year so your business stays busy, no matter the season.

Here is our 2025 Internet Marketing Plan For Excavation Businesses And Septic Contractors

Custom HTML/CSS/JAVASCRIPT

Spring Marketing Strategies: Preparing for the Busy Season

Targeting Homeowners Planning Spring Projects

Spring is when homeowners start tackling major projects, from septic inspections to land clearing. This is the perfect time to ramp up your marketing efforts.

  • Run targeted Google Ads for keywords like “septic inspection near me” or “excavation services for spring construction.”

  • Update your website content with spring-related services to match customer search trends.

  • Launch a spring maintenance campaign via email and social media to remind past customers to schedule their service.

SEO Strategies for Seasonal Searches

Your website should reflect the services in demand during spring.

  • Optimize pages with seasonal keywords like “spring septic maintenance” or “best time for excavation.”

  • Post fresh blog content on topics like “Why Spring is the Best Time for Septic Inspections.”

  • Ensure your Google Business Profile is updated with new photos and spring promotions.

Leveraging Social Media & Content Marketing

Spring is when people are more active online, looking for service providers.

  • Post before-and-after pictures of excavation projects from previous springs.

  • Share homeowner tips on septic care after winter.

  • Run limited-time Facebook promotions to encourage early bookings.

Summer Strategies: Maximizing Peak Demand

Running Seasonal Promotions & Discounts

Summer is often the busiest season for septic and excavation businesses. Make sure you're capturing as many leads as possible.

  • Offer time-sensitive discounts (e.g., “Book in June, Get $100 Off Your Septic Pumping”).

  • Bundle services (e.g., excavation + septic install) for larger projects.

  • Use urgency-driven ad copy like “Summer is Here – Book Before Slots Fill Up!”

Using Paid Ads to Capture High-Intent Customers

Since summer brings an influx of construction and home improvement projects, Google Ads and Facebook Ads can be a game-changer.

  • Target homeowners searching for excavation, septic pumping, and land clearing.

  • Use geo targeting to focus on specific service areas.

  • Run retargeting ads for people who visited your site but didn’t book.

Community Engagement & Sponsorships

Many local events take place in summer—sponsoring or attending them builds brand trust.

  • Sponsor local fairs, sports teams, or community events.

  • Set up an informational booth to educate homeowners about septic maintenance.

  • Partner with contractors who may need excavation work.

Fall Marketing: Closing Out Strong Before Winter

Promoting Preventative Maintenance Services

As colder months approach, many homeowners want to prepare their septic systems for winter.

  • Run a “Winter-Ready Septic” campaign to encourage maintenance services.

  • Educate customers on why fall is the best time for septic pumping before the ground freezes.

  • Use email reminders to past customers about scheduling fall inspections.

Targeting Commercial & Contractor Clients for Large Projects

While homeowners slow down on projects, contractors may still be in full swing.

  • Adjust ad targeting to focus on commercial clients who need excavation work.

  • Offer bulk service deals for larger-scale construction projects.

  • Create case studies showcasing successful excavation jobs to attract high-paying contracts.

Gathering & Showcasing Customer Testimonials

Fall is a great time to strengthen your online reputation.

  • Request reviews from summer clients while their experience is fresh.

  • Post customer success stories and video testimonials on your website and social media.

  • Highlight positive feedback in marketing materials.

Winter Strategies: Keeping Leads Coming During the Slow Season

Investing in Long-Term SEO & Brand Awareness

Winter is typically the slowest time for septic and excavation businesses, making it the perfect time to focus on long-term marketing.

  • Work on SEO to improve rankings for high-value keywords.

  • Publish educational blog posts that position your business as an industry leader.

  • Update and improve website pages based on performance data from the year.

Running Retargeting Ads to Stay Top of Mind

Even if people aren’t ready to book now, they will be in the spring.

  • Use retargeting ads to stay visible to past website visitors.

  • Promote off-season discounts for early bookings.

  • Stay active on social media so your business remains in people’s minds.

Preparing for the Next Year’s Marketing Strategy

Use the slower months to plan for next year’s success.

  • Analyze data from the past year to see what worked and what didn’t.

  • Adjust your marketing budget based on seasonal performance.

  • Set goals for the new year’s advertising, SEO, and lead generation strategies.

Year-Round Marketing Essentials: Consistency is Key

Keeping Google Business Profile & Reviews Up to Date

Your Google Business Profile should always be fresh and accurate.

  • Regularly update hours, photos, and promotions.

  • Respond to reviews and engage with customers online.

  • Ensure your contact information is consistent across all directories.

Tracking & Adjusting Strategies Based on Performance

Data-driven marketing always wins.

  • Use Google Analytics to track website traffic and conversions.

  • Monitor which ads generate the most leads.

  • Adjust spending and strategies based on real performance data.

The Power of Email Marketing to Maintain Customer Relationships

Stay in touch with past customers.

  • Send seasonal maintenance reminders.

  • Offer loyalty discounts for repeat services.

  • Share valuable tips and updates to keep your audience engaged.

Conclusion: Creating a Seasonal Marketing Plan That Works for You

Marketing for septic and excavation businesses isn’t one-size-fits-all. Adjusting your strategy based on seasonal demand keeps your lead pipeline full year-round. If you need help building a customized marketing plan that works, Excavation Marketing Pros is here to help. Let’s get your business in front of the right customers—no matter the season.

THE NEW WAY: You will see PROOF, DOLLAR for DOLLAR where your leads are coming from, customers are coming from and your cost to acquire a new customer from each marketing channel along with YOUR TOTAL RETURN ON INVESTMENT! This way you can make smarter decisions with your business based on factual numbers .

When I ask: "So how many leads are coming from SEO or Facebook Ads or Google Ads or social media?"


The common answer most excavation company owners tell say is, "I got no idea." When asked, "How many new clients are coming from each marketing channel?" The response is almost always, "I got no clue."

Do you think you ought to know?

You will have set up for you the right systems for excavation contractors so you'll know EXACTLY where each client comes from, COST PER LEAD and ultimately your COST TO BUY A CUSTOMER FROM EACH MARKETING CHANNEL! Armed with that kind of information helps you make better decisions for your business with less stress and headaches.


Skyrocket Excavation Sales!

Land Clearing leads

Why should people hire your excavation company instead of your nearest competitor? The common answer we hear is, "Because I'm honest and provide a good service."


The thing is every excavation, demolition, septic, land clearing contractor and guy with a skid steer in your local area claims the SAME EXACT THING. What you need is a "USP." -Unique Selling Proposition.

Your story will be told to set yourself apart from the rest.

COMMON REASONS PEOPLE TALK THEMSELVES OUT OF BOOKING A CALL:

I Got Too Many Leads As Is... Ask yourself why you are really on this page? What brought you here? How many of those leads are quality? Do you like spending your valuable time and resources chasing tire-kickers sifting through to find the few gems? Could there be a different approach to save you time and money? The only way to know is to book a call and to talk about your concerns and goals.


I Do My Own Marketing In House: Why is that?

Is it the best use of your time as the CEO or for your in house team?
Do you like doing it? Is it profitable? Do you know your cost per lead? You would probably agree most excavation business owners are better equipped at doing excavation rather than marketing.


I Can't Grow Past Where I'm At/I Can Handle The Work I Got!: Mark Cuban said it best, "Sales Cures All Problems In Business." There's always pain in growth. With more income you can afford to hire the best talent for your business. The only way to get more income is to sell more services, buy better machines, invest in better systems and so on. One way to increase profitability and scale is by doing less excavation work. By actually restructuring your service offers based on your most profitable excavation services that you can knock out the fastest. By having us target your most profitable excavation work you can complete the fastest, you trim the fat and become a lean power house. If that makes sense, book a call with us.


How Long Will It Take To See Results Marketing My Excavation Company?: We can get most campaigns running in 7-10 business days. With some marketing like paid ads, the leads can start flowing in at that moment. But a transformation in your business will not happen over night. You'll see a custom plan based on your goals when you schedule your call.

I Tried A Marketing Agency Before/Lead Company/SEO Company [insert thing you tried here]: It's disappointing when that happens. Sorry to hear that. Did the company you worked with actually specialize in excavation and septic businesses? That's a major difference. They just aren't equipped because they don't have the specific data or experience in the industry like serving your type of business. So in turn they must trial and error everything on your dime... But not us!
