Physical Advertising
Hey everybody, my name is Daniel. I’m currently looking to expand and grow my business. I have done paid Marketing on Meta and Google with some success, but I’m also wondering for anyone who’s in the contracting and remodeling space if they ever do door hangers, mailers flyers and yard signs and what kind of return they see on those I’ve had some people tell me they see great return but not in the same industry as me if you do any of these and you do remodeling, I would love to hear your input
How do contractors handle clients who keep requesting changes after the job is done?
When is enough? I operate a remodeling company. I have never had an issue closing out a job. We deliver a high quality product. Recently, I have a client who is intent on finding issues, however minor. The final invoice has been paid and they are extremely happy with the work. All that said, I keep getting texts and pictures of incredibly minor items, some of which are created by the homeowner, 3 months after the job completion. How have people dealt with this in the past, and when is enough, enough?Google Ads vs LSA — how is everyone actually using these?
Here's where I'm at: I run both Google Ads and Local Services Ads (LSA) for my business. On paper, that sounds like I've got it figured out. In practice, it feels a bit like throwing money at two different machines and hoping one of them spits out jobs. I don't always know which one a new customer came from, and I'm honestly not confident my settings on either are dialed in the way they should be. Obviously the LSA is something I pay for on an individual basis. I just feel like I never get any jobs out of these. Does this hurt me to kill these ads all together? Then google ads I have no idea. I feel like I get a lot of leads from google in general but I don't know how much of that is my website vs the ads. How do you guys approach these?

How are you guys dealing with the newest generation coming into the trades. I feel like these guys have intelligence, they ask very good questions but my answers leave them looking like a deer in the headlights. No information seems the be retained, and it seems like they are unable to work independently without continuous instructions. have not found a good way to get through to them, seems they are only here for the paycheck and no one considers acquiring knowledge and skill as an asset anymore. What have you been experiencing?

What’s holding most service businesses back
I’ve been thinking about this lately, what’s actually holding most service businesses back? Is it: • Lack of leads • Poor systems • Weak pricing • Or the owner not stepping into the business role Because I’ve seen companies busy all day… but still stuck.
