Paid Ads Can Work!

What happened

I was spending $5,000 a month on yellow page ads with call tracking numbers because that was the cold outreach of the day, and a better ad meant more phone calls. If you can land 40% to 50% of the people who reach out, at a minimum, a job around $375, then pay-per-click and local service ads start to make sense. They run a commodity business, matching a competitor’s pricing: three rooms and a hall for whatever the contractor down the street is charging.
