Stop Buying More Leads Until You Fix This
If you’re already losing the leads you have, buying more won’t fix the problem.
Track them, respond faster, send the quote, follow up, and THEN increase your Google Ads lead flow.

A client said business was dead.
Google Ads looked normal.
Then we checked who was answering the phone: A.I.
Call after call ended in 20–30 seconds.
Before you blame your leads, check what happens after they call.

Contractors: Are You New?
Waiting until your slow season to prepare your marketing is like checking whether your service trucks start the night before a major cold snap.
Prepare Your Google Ads campaign before you need it.
I get a lot of questions about Google Business Profile. A local news outlet had a report on stealing a profile from another business (and I know people this has happed to). FYI...

Our average Google Ads CPC (cost per click), across all our clients, has dropped 10% just since the election on Tuesday.

A lot of service businesses I talk to are still feeling the pinch of slow business.
From what we're seeing, it's coming back.... SLOWLY... but it's coming back.

I feel like today's going to be a good day.
Yes... I had a horrible nights sleep, my kid is mad at me, and I just spilled coffee on a white shirt.
It can only get better from here!
Talking to a lot of clients recently who are worried about the upcoming election (clients are home service businesses).
Two things...
1. Regardless of election outcome, people aren't going to get rid of their homes.
2. People aren't going to stop breaking things in their homes
Helping my digital agency clients build their businesses and enhance their lives is one of the most fulfilling things I've ever done.
If you're not doing that… perhaps it's time to rethink your strategy.
Whenever I think I've that something is too hard, I think back to college when I was hauling landscaping rock using only a shovel and a wheelbarrow for 8 hours a day.
Then I laugh for a second and I get back to work.
