    Just run it and see? I load for all locations and let the clicks come from wherever they come. All this wondering beforehand is a waste of time. Launch and learn. @MTF @IceCreamKid @piano

    This is so cool. A new roofing client was repairing some roofs when The Kings Horses came past. He zoomed in on Windsor Castle at the end. And managed to sneak a view of his van in too. I've told him to send me it so I can add some captions. View...

    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    OR... Follow the advice of an author I forget the name of: "If it ain't a hit, switch." I started something similar with law firms in Ireland and quit the next day. They don't answer their phones at lunch time. Feck that. I'd rather work with people who see the value immediately in what...

    That's what I realised after nearly 17 years, so fair play figuring it out so early. Now then. Have you tried generating leads yet to prove to yourself you can in the locations you loaded, and have you used said leads to acquire paying clients?

    Exactly. That's why I replied with this when I saw a post on LinkedIn:

    My bad, I didn't just mean collecting and storing data, but using it to iterate the service and provide other services. There could be so much going on under-the-hood that people can't just copy. Like email sequences and the logic behind them, for onboarding, reactivation, offers, etc. And...

    I call it inbound-outbound (trademark pending). Generate an inbound lead and use it for outbound.

    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    EXECUTION 
    I was chatting to the owner of a call centre a few years ago and told him my plan: I was going to generate leads of people looking for service providers throughout Ireland for I can't remember what niche. He leaned back and said, "Ooh that's interesting. So we're going to ring up the...

    Jesus. Who said YOU have to do the calling? You're the business owner. You're job is to figure out what needs done next, and to ensure it gets done. EDIT: Said with love @MTF. Can you tell we're all willing you to succeed?

    So you got more clicks and spend because there was a hurricane? And some turned into leads? Great, that's how Google Ads works. You only pay when people search and click your ad. Would you have paid $130 if there hadn't been a hurricane? What about a flood somewhere that causes people to...

    @perchboy... if you got all lead of someone looking for XYZ service in ABC location, would you be able to SMS blast all the detailers in that location and ask if they can recommend anyone?

    Trust I'd say. You got a text asking you to enter your credit card details. Are you going to want to speak to someone to double check it? You're running ads to get leads of consumers looking for service providers (fencers, insulator, etc). Most people want to speak to someone to get a feel...

    I was in a rush @IceCreamKid, I meant to add this to the above: Whenever I see a "but", I immediately think about swapping it for any "and". So this: Online biz=easier to scale, but harder to get customers because you're competing nationally Local biz=easier to get customers because...
