The marketing person for your service business.

I'm the marketing person for service business owners who don't have one. You get a complete marketing system designed to do three things: bring in more enquiries, turn more of them into booked jobs, and keep customers coming back.

The core engine — ads, landing pages, follow-up — is always running. Each month I shift focus to wherever the biggest opportunity lives.

Hundreds of brands in, and the approach hasn't changed.

The real problem

Nobody actually owns marketing in your business.

Most service business owners don't have a marketing person. They don't want to become one. They don't want to manage a big agency. And they don't want to learn marketing themselves.

So marketing ends up split across the owner, an admin, a web guy, an ads freelancer and a few half-finished tools. No one is actually responsible for the number going up.

Ads get switched on. The landing page sits untouched. Follow-up is patchy. Quotes go cold. The offer never gets sharper. And no one is looking across the whole picture deciding what to fix next.

You don't need another vendor for one channel. You need someone who owns marketing for the business.

New Leads Landing Page Follow-up Offer Tracking Retention
The fix

One person responsible for marketing. One system built to grow the business.

A complete marketing system to bring in more enquiries, turn them into customers, and keep them coming back. The channels below are how it runs — not the pitch.

The channels and systems that bring in customers and keep them coming back:

Google Ads

Show up when people are searching for exactly what you do.

Meta Ads

Create demand, build trust, and get in front of the right local audience.

Landing Pages

Turn clicks into enquiries, calls, quote requests and bookings.

Offer + Positioning

Make it clear why someone should choose you instead of the cheaper competitor.

Tracking

Know where leads come from, what they cost, and what turns into real customers.

Follow-up

Stop letting enquiries go cold because nobody followed up properly.

Where the focus usually starts

The basics that usually move the number fastest.

Same system every month. The focus shifts to whatever will bring in more enquiries and booked jobs next.

#1

Lead quality

Are you getting real enquiries from people who can actually buy?

#2

Landing page conversion

Are people clicking your ads but leaving without calling, booking or enquiring?

#3

Offer clarity

Is it obvious why someone should choose you over the cheaper option?

#4

Quote follow-up

Are quotes being followed up properly, or are good leads going cold?

#5

Call and enquiry tracking

Do you know which ads, pages and channels create actual customers?

#6

Calendar gaps

Are there quiet spots in the week that better marketing could fill?

How it works

You get a marketing person, not another vendor.

From $2,000/month, I run the marketing function for your business. The core engine — ads, landing pages, follow-up — is always running and always improving. Each month I focus on whatever will bring in more enquiries and booked jobs next.

1

Find the leak

Where are enquiries dropping off?

2

Fix the basics

Offer, page, tracking, ads, follow-up.

3

Book more jobs

More leads. Better conversion. More customers.

How the work shifts

Same marketing system. Smarter focus each month.

Ads, landing pages, follow-up, offer, tracking and retention all keep ticking over in the background. Each month, whatever has the biggest opportunity to bring in more enquiries or booked jobs gets more of my time.

One month it might be rebuilding the landing page. Next, sharpening the offer or fixing missed-call follow-up. The system stays the same. The focus moves.

I run the marketing engine, but I'm also helping you decide where attention should go next.
Where leads usually leak

More ads won't fix a broken lead system.

Traffic matters. But service business growth usually breaks after the click. If the landing page is weak, the offer sounds generic, the phone isn't tracked, quotes aren't followed up, or leads sit too long before someone responds, every ad dollar has to work harder than it should.

Ad click

Weak offer

Landing page

No trust

Call / form

Missed call

Follow-up

Slow response

Quote

Went cold

Booking

No follow-up

Customer

No booking

The goal is not just more leads. It is more of the right leads, better follow-up, and more customers from the attention you are already paying for.
Google Ads

Be there when people are ready to buy.

For service businesses, Google is often the highest-intent channel. When someone searches for what you do, you want to show up with the right message, the right landing page, and a clear reason to call, book or enquire.

"emergency plumber near me"

"best physio near me"

"family lawyer Melbourne"

"home renovation quote"

"dentist near me"

1

Search

Right keyword, right intent.

2

Landing page

Built to convert that exact visitor.

3

Call

Tracked, answered, and qualified.

4

Booking

Job on the calendar.

Meta Ads

Stay in front of people before they need you.

Not every service business lead is ready to buy today. Meta helps create demand, build trust, show your work, explain your offer, and stay visible until the customer is ready to enquire.

Before & after

Show the work, not just the words.

Testimonial

Real customers in their own words.

Offer

A reason to enquire now, not later.

Explainer

Show how you actually work.

Local trust

"We're the team near you."

Follow-up

The money is often in the follow-up.

A lot of service businesses do the hard part, get the enquiry, then lose the job because the follow-up is slow, unclear or inconsistent. Better follow-up can turn more calls, forms and quote requests into paying customers without needing more ad spend.

Instant SMS

Reply in minutes, not hours. The first responder usually wins.

Call back

Every missed call called back the same day, every time.

Quote reminder

Gentle nudge before the quote goes cold.

Review request

Turn happy customers into your best ongoing marketing.

Rebooking

Pull past customers back in instead of starting from scratch.

Nurture email

Stay useful until they are ready to buy.

Lead quality

More leads only matter if they can become customers.

The goal is not cheap leads. The goal is profitable customers. That means your ads, offer, landing page, targeting, questions, and follow-up need to filter for the right people, not just anyone who fills out a form.

Bad leads

Cheap, busy, no customers
  • Price shoppers
  • Wrong area
  • No budget
  • Not ready
  • Ghosts after quote

Good leads

Fewer, sharper, profitable
  • Right location
  • Real need
  • Budget ready
  • Wants a call
  • Books the job
How I'm different

Not an agency. Not a freelancer. A marketing person for your business.

Most agencies sell one channel. Most freelancers run one tool. Service businesses don't grow from one isolated thing — they grow when one person owns the whole picture and shifts focus to wherever the next win lives.

Big lead gen agency

$3k to $10k+ a month
  • One channel focus
  • Account managers
  • Juniors doing the work
  • Reports instead of decisions
  • Cheap lead obsession
  • No follow-up visibility
  • 12 month contracts

  • Runs the core engine: paid ads, landing pages, follow-up

Service business proof

A few examples of what better marketing can fix.

Wins from across different service businesses, channels and stages.

Local service business
Morequalified enquiries

Cleaned up the offer, landing page and tracking so enquiries became easier to measure and easier to follow up.

Appointment-based business
Calendargaps filled

Built campaigns around quiet periods and turned slow spots into booked appointments.

Professional service business
Betterlead quality

Shifted the focus away from cheap leads and toward enquiries with actual intent.

Trade / home service
Callstracked properly

Set up tracking so the business could finally see which campaigns generated real calls and quote requests.

Growth system
Ads, page & follow-upworking together

Stopped treating marketing as separate channels and built a cleaner path from click to customer.
