    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    EXECUTION 
    People in the forum keep asking if I have courses after I shut them down. Guys... it's all free. Just execute.

    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    EXECUTION 
    I just posted this to LinkedIn. Yes, it's a highlight, but it's not complicated. Put what people search for into the ad to get clicks. Ideally put it into the landing page to get enquiries, or close enough. In this case we're using the franchise's website, which is well designed but doesn't...

    Weekly Group Call for Agency Owners (Google Ads, Web design, etc.)

    MEETUPS 
    Thanks for the tag guys. I'll watch this thread if you want to post activity, questions, and updates in here. I'm just not into the whole accountability thing. I'm more of a "Do it, or don't" guy.

    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    EXECUTION 
    It doesn't matter if they blame us. They'll have to churn and we keep going till we find a business that gets ROI.

    EXECUTION 
    If very few businesses in Poland have websites and advertise online then that could be an opportunity.

    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    EXECUTION 
    We don't guarantee leads. We get paid a flat monthly fee and they pay the ad spend. If they don't feel they're getting ROI (or even if it sometimes goes too well for them), then they churn. The ones that stay can stay for years. What they're paying for is the build, optimisation, and...

    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    EXECUTION 
    I think it can work at under $1k/mth, but has to be rinse-and-repeat and then low maintenance. There's definitely a lot of nuances and landmines doing lead gen for local services. I think the ultimate edge is being able to generate leads you serve yourself. Then you don't have two learning...

    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    EXECUTION 
    When it works it's great @MTF. This guy came to us desperate for leads. We set up a campaign at the start of the year and started working with him. Then the franchise he's with sorted out the SEO so he started getting leads again from the website they'd built for him. So he churned as a Google...

    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    EXECUTION 
    I'm walking the dog and talking to my phone using WisprFlow so hopefully this isn't too hard to follow and read. Disclaimer: My business fell off a cliff a few months ago for various reasons, but I'm confident I can build it back up pretty quick. Sooo... There are a few ways of doing this...

    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    EXECUTION 
    I think if you can generate a steady stream of high quality leads for a decent price in a given niche then everything falls into place. Clients come to you asking to expand into other locations, ask you to do their website or GBP, and drop your name into large Facebook groups. Everyone seems...

    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    EXECUTION 
    There are some in the forum who are doing decent generating leads for local services. Often they start with one service (maybe Google Ads), then also offer web design, SEO, GBP optimisation, etc, and often to just one or two industries. They basically get very good at generating leads in that...

    I saw you mentioned me ICK. How's your carpet cleaning business going? (BTW... I'll never run Google Ads for carpet cleaning again in the US. I don't think I can even make it work in the UK.)

    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    EXECUTION 
    Remember that line I said? "Overthinking is the art of solving problems you don't have." How many leads have you generated? How many have you passed to businesses? So what if a business takes a lead and doesn't tell you it turned into a job? Two lines from Blaise Brosnan: "Sales is a...

    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    EXECUTION 
    Interesting. I didn't know this is what you were running Google Ads for. May I suggest trying to generate leads of consumers looking for local services? You'll have to do that at some point anyway, and if you can't generate leads for businesses then it's a moot point if you sign up a business...

    EXECUTION 
    "Overthinking is the art of solving problems you don't have." Get people on calls or whatever your goal is. If you find out you're attracting freebie seekers too much then you can adjust.

    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    EXECUTION 
    It depends. If they're looking for information, then give them information. If they're looking to buy, then give them a way to buy. I'd say at the start you're trying to find out what search volumes there are for info-seeker and buyer searches, and how much volume you can get at whatever CPC...

    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    EXECUTION 
    I meant to do an insider call at some point on how I setup campaigns to gather data, and how I read Google Ads metrics. In the meantime: https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/how-to-read-google-ads-metrics.104239/
