One result, start to finish

Every dollar of ads, tracked all the way to the signed job.

Home services: $65,309 in ads became $270,277 in signed work

A family-owned painting company ran ads on Google, Yelp and Facebook. They couldn't tell which ones booked jobs. We fixed the tracking first. Then we judged every ad by signed jobs. Facebook had the cheapest leads, but the most expensive jobs.

Watch the cost of a job, not a lead

Facebook leads cost $104. Google leads cost $229. But a Facebook job cost $3,541, and a Google job cost $1,319.

Fix tracking before moving money

With the old numbers, they would have cut their best ad first.

Give an ad three months

Google had two months with no signed jobs. Then it brought in $37,000 in July.

Consumer law firm

From zero to 9 first-page Google spots in 6 weeks

Five articles put 16 more searches on page one and brought in 20+ calls. Leads from Google went up 50%, so the firm cut ad spending from $3,000 to $300 a month.

Law firm, Los Angeles

Website visitors doubled in 30 days

From 6,000–8,000 a month to 16,000. We fixed the pages that bring in calls first. Leads kept coming without paid ads.

Education company

500+ qualified leads from one chat helper

An AI chat helper on the website answered questions day and night and collected leads. No free download needed to get them.

Education company

Ad budget grew from $5K to $50K a month, still earning $4 for every $1

The budget grew 10 times and the return held, because every dollar was tied to sales.

Preschool

300+ enrollment leads in 5 months

A new website and sign-up path built around what parents actually search for.

Home services sales

A $26,000 job signed in four days

Lead on Tuesday. Answers on Thursday. Deposit on Friday. Fast, clear follow-up closes big jobs.
