Marketing Companies

I started to use Hibu https://g.co/kgs/Xi8UXmF They redid my website https://www.pipelinerooterplumbing.com/ and cleaned up all the search engines. Set up and helped with social sites. I'm in my second month and I'm started to get calls with real SEO's it takes time. I have had a lot better success then using Yelp. They respond fast. I'm a 2 truck shop and this is helping me get out of the ground up plumbing work and more service.  

We've found most people have to go through a few marketing agencies before they find one that works for them. You should ask the agency if they have a process or system that they use regularly (check for results against that). Also, be sure to check who will be working on your business specifically - you want to make sure you align with and trust them. Lastly, the best question we've gotten is for references from businesses that are not in our case studies or testimonials - it gives you an opportunity to talk to someone that had an average or regular experience with the agency. 

I need more plumbing calls. I’m targeting sewer and drain calls. 

I've been using Geo Hernandez with https://geografixx.com/ for my website www.colpaniconstruction.com and we have had more business than ever! He specializes in working with construction, restaurants, and real estate companies. He does my SEO, my website, marketing, etc.

We used Advisium!  They investigated our business model and gave us great coaching on what we can try to improve the bottom line.  Best yet.... They gave us a money back guarantee!  It was a no lose situation for us.  https://advisium.io  If you too have nothing to lose give them a try.  702-342-8822  ask for "Q"

Worked with a few, never had a good luck with it. Last one we tried for 6 months, ended up wasting a lot of money on ads, and only had bad leads, unfortunately.

In my experience content creation works better to build a base. Now we do it all ourselves, we record content, pictures of jobs, and so on. And publish in all social using Metricool. I don't run ads no more.

Chat with Phil Risher from Phlash Consulting. He's the real deal and has been featured on various Jobber podcasts and trainings.

I'm working with a small business https://digitaltrek.ca/ essentially a one man show which I like. We are thinking about it like this, he's our fractional marketing manager. Helping me with google, seo, website, mostly all the back end voodoo that I don't know about. Right now with electrical he's getting me $5 for every 1$ I've spent. We do monthly check in's and go over the data. I'm pretty happy and pushing him to do more as well. Check him out, name is Mario. 

I think finding a good company to work with an any arena can be a challenge..
With that being said, what does your marketing plan look like? You vetted 5-10 companies per acquisition channel in order to find out exactly what you're requiring from a marketing company? 
Have you researched or read/listened to any books/podcasts to educate yourself further in this area?

What I've personally found is at the end of the day if something's not working in my business, it's typically due to a skill I'M lacking, not anyone else. 

RonnieMarketingDo you have any insights on this topic that you can assist with? You've been a very trustworthy marketing company that we've relied upon. 

I'm getting the same thing. It all started from simply trying to get some post cards sent out and everyone wants to sell me online ads, SEO, geolocation and all kinds of other stuff. I did just sign up with a company called HIKE, they offer an automated SEO software platform you can work yourself for $59 a month, or they have a fully managed version for $119.99 per month, I went fully managed and I look forward to seeing if they deliver or not. The other services were far more expensive.
