My landing page and campaign is now up and running as of yesterday, my first click for 0.66p generated a phone lead, I've emailed companies trying to get them to take the lead, no reply. Any tips for the best way to get a service business to take and pay for the leads? Maybe call them and give them the first lead for free? Appreciate any advice.

Here's a great podcast I found as well about local lead generation - #60 Local Search and eSales Hub with Mark Taylor - The Next 100 Days

What happened with the campaign that went live in your last post?

Dig in. Get involved. Call the lead. Find out what they want. Call a company and make it happen. Do it as quickly as possible because time kills deals.

It went live and the next day all the ads were disapproved due to a trademark issue. I contacted Google and the trademark holder and couldn't get them to allow it. In the end I picked a new niche with no trademark issues :)

Going to call a company with a lead and fingers crossed.

Just took a call from someone looking for a service in my area, they called from my landing page. Passed the lead onto a local service provider, fingers crossed he can close. Easiest phone call I've had with a service provider, he liked what I am doing.

UPDATE:

First phone call resulted in a job being completed today by a tradesman at a pizza chain who had a fault that was affecting their business, so the tradesman was very happy! I've messaged him saying I can make your phone ring with enquiries for £10 per phone call. Hopefully he accepts. Cost me 0.86p to generate that enquiry.

Second phone call resulted in a job being put in the diary on Friday for another tradesman in a different town. Cost me 0.46p to generate this enquiry.

It feels good helping consumer and busy owner, I just need to monetise this now.

UPDATE:

The tradesmen from the first phone call is now going to pay me £10 per phone call I give him :)

Local SEO is far easier than any other SEO but there are some things you will want to consider.
  1. It might take you 6 months to get to the top in some verticals
  2. Local citations and verifiable matched NAP data is key to your success
  3. A physical postal address is almost a nailed-on requirement for any local service website if you want to get the most leads and exposure
If you want any more information on any of the above points in a little bit more detail then more than happy to provide a more detailed response and perhaps some stepped points.

Could you please elaborate a little bit on these points. Especially 2 and 3. How would I get these if I am not the business/business owner? Thank you for your time.
