Ismael Valdez sold his HVAC company for over $100M in six and a half years. That's a record in the trades. Most guys take 20 or 30 years.

He was also born in Mexico, smuggled across the border as a kid, kicked out at 16, and got a fake ID just to work at McDonald's.

We walked through the whole thing:

→ How he hit $9.8M in year one out of a garage
→ The $400K marketing bet that could've bankrupted him
→ What has to change at $25M (and why 94% of contractors never pass $2M)

A bunch of people bought 2 tickets in one transaction for our event on July 18th

Had my team reach out to those people to get the +1 guest names for nametags, etc

I see a familiar name… @realgwill

I see my team made contact

Glance over at the name he gave my employees:

Client of ours bought an exact match domain for water heaters and is now about to do the same thing for generators.

Already made him $50,000 in two months, lol.

It’s a great day to give a referral to your buddy who is grinding away at their biz

[Bodhi- Local SEO @irentdumpsters]

Check out this awesome testimonial

Watched him double his business this year by just investing heavily in local SEO.

[Miles Walker- Investor @huskerbum]

@irentdumpsters Lots of great information Bodhi!

A roofing company came to us doing $700K/year

Almost all referrals. Zero Google presence.

Their previous agency had them paying $800/month with no reports and no communication.

77% of their backlinks had zero authority.

They had 0 LOCATION PAGES

Their agency showed them a ranking map that was all green. We pulled it up with keywords people actually search average ranking was 10.75 out of 20.

Here's what we did:
-Built individual pages for every city and service
-Replaced junk backlinks with 5 quality ones per month
-Optimized their GBP with real photos
-Fixed their meta titles and H1 tags
-Put in a review automation system

Now they rank across a majority of their service area

Google HELPs referrals SCALE

Comment "RANK" and i will give you a free SEO AUDIT!

Absolutely electric, Nebraska

WOW

[Jason Whitlock @jasonwhitlock]

The officiating in this game has been atrocious, as bad as the broadcasting. The roughing call was a makeup call. This has been hard to watch.

[Barstool Sports @barstoolsports]

It’s a party in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Nebraska knocks off #1 Purdue.

[Will Compton @_willcompton]

Thank you @DeanBlandino for trying to get the Huskers a touchdown

Need more like you
