His website had 9 silent problems bleeding $47,000/month in lost emergency calls. Here's the exact system we used to fix them — and the 90-day breakdown of what changed.
When Mike came to us, he was running Google Ads and spending real money. But something invisible was killing every dollar he spent.
"I thought my ads were the problem. I kept increasing my budget and getting the same results. Liz showed me it wasn't the ads — it was everything the ads were sending traffic to."
We didn't just "run ads." We rebuilt the entire pipeline — from first click to booked appointment — using a system designed around how home service customers actually buy.
Before spending another dollar on ads, we fixed what the ads were saying. Most HVAC ads in Phoenix say the same thing: "Fast. Reliable. Licensed." — that's table stakes, not a reason to call.
This shift created urgency with the 90-minute guarantee, built trust with social proof, and removed the #1 objection to bigger jobs — money — before they even asked.
The landing page is the single most important piece of the entire system. It is not a website. It is the conduit that merges paid traffic with booked appointments. Every element exists for one reason: get the visitor to request service.
Once the landing page was ready, we rebuilt Mike's campaigns from scratch. Here's the exact structure and cost-per-lead for each channel:
| Channel / Ad Set | Monthly Spend | Leads | Cost Per Lead | Close Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Google LSA (Local Services Ads) | $540 | 12 | $45 | 68% |
| Google Search — Emergency AC Repair | $620 | 10 | $62 | 55% |
| Google Search — AC Replacement | $480 | 5 | $96 | 72% |
| Google Search — Maintenance Plans | $210 | 3 | $70 | 80% |
| TOTALS | $1,850/mo | 30 | $61.67 avg | 66% avg |
When we started, Mike had 11 reviews at 3.9★. His top competitor had 340 at 4.8★. That gap was costing him the majority of comparison searches — silently, every day.
| Review Milestone | Reviews | Lead Volume Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Start (Day 0) | 11 @ 3.9★ | Baseline |
| Day 60 | 87 @ 4.7★ | +112% LSA leads |
| Day 90 | 134 @ 4.8★ | 2× leads, same ad spend |
We built a Speed-to-Lead system that contacts every new lead within 15 minutes — automatically, 24/7, without Mike touching anything.
| Automation Impact | Result |
|---|---|
| Lead contact rate | 31% → 71% (+129%) |
| Extra appts from automation/month | +8 appointments |
| Voicemail callback rate | 22% within 3 hours |
| Monthly revenue recovered via voicemail | ~$9,400/month |
Not every lead books on the first contact. We built Mike a 45-day sequence that kept his name top-of-mind without being pushy — and turned "not yet" into "yes."
| Revenue Source | Before GrowthLocal | After 90 Days | Monthly Lift |
|---|---|---|---|
| Emergency AC Repair Calls | ~$18,000 | ~$34,020 | +$16,020 |
| System Replacements | ~$22,000 | ~$31,900 | +$9,900 |
| Maintenance Plan Signups | ~$1,200/mo | ~$7,800/mo | +$6,600 |
| Leads Recovered via Automation | $0 | ~$9,400 | +$9,400 |
| Nurture Sequence Conversions | $0 | ~$2,280 | +$2,280 |
| TOTAL MONTHLY REVENUE | ~$41,200 | ~$85,400 | +$44,200 |
