[ WHY ESCAPE ROOM PPC ]
Built for escape rooms, on purpose
Most agencies treat your rooms like any other local shop. We do not. Every click, conversion, and dollar serves one goal: filling your booking calendar.
Campaign Management
We build and keep tuning your Search, Display, and Performance Max campaigns, all pointed at escape room bookings.
Conversion Tracking
Every booking, call, and form tracked to the source. You see exactly which keywords and ads bring in revenue.
Booking Optimization
We bid for bookings, not clicks. Your slowest time slots get filled first, so your whole week earns.
Competitor Analysis
We watch what other rooms in your city bid on, find the gaps they leave open, and win those searches for you.
Budget Management
We move spend toward what books and cut what does not. Every dollar has a job you can see.

[ BOOKINGS ]
Fill your slow weekday slots, not just weekends
Every campaign we run has one job. Turn ad clicks into confirmed escape room bookings on your calendar, Tuesday nights included.
[ ROADMAP ]
A clear route from audit to booked revenue
We start with a free account audit, then follow a proven path. Keywords, campaigns, landing pages, all pointed at one target: real booked revenue.
[ HOW IT WORKS ]
From kickoff call to bookings in 7 days
Most agencies take months to "ramp up." We take a week. Here is exactly what happens once you say yes.
1
Send us your booking link
Tell us your venue, your city, and what makes your rooms special. We audit your current setup for free. The strategy call takes 30 minutes, tops.
No slide decks. No "discovery workshops." Just describe your rooms the way you would to a friend, and we take it from there.
2
We build the whole thing
Campaign structure, keyword research, ad copy, landing page, and conversion tracking. Ready to launch in 5 days from kickoff.
You review it and ask for changes. Most owners launch as-is, because we already know what fills escape room calendars.
3
Watch the bookings come in
Live dashboard, weekly optimization, and monthly strategy calls. Your first booking usually lands within 48 hours of launch.
No "testing budget." No "learning phase." You approve, Google shows your ads, and players start booking your rooms.

Real talk: Generic agencies are fine for big brands. Freelancers are fine if you want cheap. But if you own an escape room and just want a full calendar without running the ads yourself, that is exactly why we built Escape Room PPC.

★★★★★
We were spending $3,000/month on Google Ads with another agency. ERPPC cut our cost per booking by 47% in the first 60 days. Same budget, nearly double the bookings.
Marcus Chen
Owner, Enigma Escape Rooms

“
★★★★★
They built our website, set up tracking, and launched campaigns in under 2 weeks. Our old agency took 3 months just to get Google Ads running.

“
★★★★★
What sold me was their escape room expertise. They knew our business before our first call even started. The ROAS speaks for itself. 847% last quarter.
James Wright
Owner, Puzzle Palace

“
★★★★★
I was skeptical about hiring a niche agency. Then I saw my competitor's booking page ranking above ours. ERPPC fixed that in 30 days.

The Meta campaigns they built are insane. Our birthday party bookings went up 156% during what's usually our slowest season.

Finally an agency that understands escape rooms aren't just "entertainment." They targeted corporate team building and our B2B bookings tripled.
