    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...

    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    EXECUTION 
    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...

    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    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/

    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    EXECUTION 
    Google Ads is good. What sort of keywords, and how good are the search terms matching? I suggest starting with exact match keywords and manual bids. Look at your impression share metrics and figure out estimates searches. What do people pay for that usually indicates they'd pay for a lead...

    What happy energetic voice? Do the same as the longer videos you were going to do, but ... shorter? Who says you have to do them every day too? Stop following other people's advice and just start and figure it out yourself as you go along?

    There seems to be a lot of "Yes, but" thinking here? And lots of overthinking (the art of solving problems you don't have). Facebook can work. Communities can work. I'm a fan of them because you can help people where they are, and be seen helping people. Just find them. @David Fitz is...

    You don't need to rebrand. That sounds like "busy" work. I get business as Andy Black. No-one knows my business name till I invoice them, and there's a holding page on the domain. Getting conversations going seems to be your priority no? I like Facebook groups. It's less cold to post...

    You're better off without clients like that. Where is your next client coming from?

    Any other prospects in the pipeline? In the US, do you need an LLC to trade, or can you be a soletrader/freelancer/contractor? How many clients have you had? How many websites have you built? Are you focused on a specific industry? Where are you getting leads from?

    He's now working his way through a HTML/CSS course, that he picked himself. His 18 year old brother just started a Games Design degree so hopefully the 15 (soon to be 16) year old homeschooler will get interested in that too.
