ACTION PLAN
💡 WHERE TO START: 5-STEP ACTION PLAN

STEP 1️⃣ – Claim Your Local Presence

Before you spend another dollar on marketing, make sure people can actually find you.

  • Set up or optimize your Google Business Profile — add photos, services, and accurate hours.

  • Claim your business on Apple Maps, Yelp, and other local directories.

  • Why it works: Local search is often the first stop for customers, and missing here means missed opportunities.

STEP 2️⃣ – Flyers & Yard Signs That Convert

Physical marketing still works — but only if done strategically.

  • Distribute flyers and yard signs in neighborhoods where your ideal customers live.

  • Keep the messaging simple: service, phone number, and an incentive (free consult or discount).

  • Bonus: Include a QR code linking to your landing page or review page — combines offline + online presence.

STEP 3️⃣ – Simple Online Touchpoint

Your leads need a place to convert digitally.

  • Create a landing page or form where people can request quotes, schedule appointments, or contact you.

  • Collect emails and phone numbers to start building a local audience for future campaigns.

  • Tip: Make it mobile-friendly and easy to navigate — speed converts.

STEP 4️⃣ – Geo-Targeted Digital Ads

Once your presence is established, start pushing traffic to your business.

  • Run small, targeted Facebook or Instagram campaigns aimed at the neighborhoods where your flyers are distributed.

  • Match your messaging across physical and digital channels for maximum trust and visibility.

  • Track results: clicks, form submissions, and calls are early indicators of success.

STEP 5️⃣ – Measure, Adjust, and Repeat

The final step is tracking and iterating.

  • Monitor calls, landing page conversions, and foot traffic.

  • Identify what’s working and double down. Adjust messaging or targeting for areas that underperform.

  • Consistency compounds: small wins add up fast when you optimize your efforts.
