Struggling to turn marketing dollars into real profit? You’re not alone. Thousands of small business owners, especially in home services, pour money into marketing efforts and end up frustrated with the results. The problem isn’t just getting leads; it’s getting the right leads and turning them into revenue.

In this podcast episode, we look at why most marketing fails to deliver profit and share actionable steps to improve your advertising strategy. From bad leads to broken follow-up systems, we uncover the hidden costs dragging down your bottom line—and how to fix them.

Common mistakes:

  • Leads from advertising that don’t convert.
  • Websites that confuse customers instead of converting visitors into leads.
  • Sales teams that miss calls or follow up too slowly.
  • Not creating a repeatable referral system.
  • Advertising like a big brand without the budget or tracking to back it up.

  • The difference between top-of-funnel ads and bottom-of-funnel tactics.
  • How to calculate Customer Lifetime Value to transform your ad strategy.
  • Why response time is the #1 factor in converting leads.

Questions to consider:

  • Are you tracking lead sources clearly?
