[ HOW IT WORKS ]
From kickoff call to bookings in 7 days
Most agencies need months to "ramp up." We need a week. Here is exactly what happens after you say yes.
1
Send us your booking link
Tell us your venue name, location, and what makes you different. We audit your current setup (if any). Strategy call takes 30 minutes max.
No PowerPoint decks. No "discovery workshops." You describe your escape rooms like you're talking to a friend. We handle the rest.
2
We build everything
Campaign structure, ad groups, keyword research, ad copy, landing page optimization, conversion tracking. 5 days from kickoff to launch.
You review the campaigns. We make tweaks. But most clients launch without changing anything because we already know what works.
3
Watch bookings roll in
Real-time dashboard access. Weekly optimization. Monthly strategy calls. First booking usually happens within 48 hours.
No "testing budget." No "learning phase." You click approve, Google shows your ads, bookings start filling your calendar.
[ HONEST COMPARISON ]

Real talk: Generic agencies are fine for Fortune 500 brands. Freelancers are great if you want cheap. But if you are an escape room owner who just wants a full booking calendar without managing campaigns yourself, that is why we built Escape Room PPC.

Real results from real venues
These aren't cherry-picked reviews. These are actual conversations with customers.

★★★★★
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 we even had our first call. The ROAS speaks for itself — 847% last quarter.
James Wright
Owner, Puzzle Palace
Nashville, TN
“
★★★★★
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.
