For Service Business Owners

Your Leads Look Good on Paper. Your Bank Account Says Otherwise.

We help service business owners see what their agency can't show them — cost per actual customer, lead quality by source, and where profit is leaking from the pipeline.

7 years paid media expertise · $10M+ monthly ad spend managed · AI-powered, profit-first

Sound Familiar?

The moment you knew something had to change

Half your leads never become customers

The calls come in. The forms get filled. But when you look at actual booked jobs or appointments, half of them were tyre-kickers, wrong location, or looking for a price you’ll never compete on. Your agency reports cost per lead. Nobody’s talking about cost per actual customer.

You want senior talent on your account

The person who pitched isn’t the person doing the work. Your account manager runs 40+ accounts. Your budget is big enough to care about, but not big enough to get senior attention.

Your agency doesn’t understand your business

They run ads. But they don’t know your margins, your seasonal patterns, or which jobs are worth chasing. A plumber who does hot water replacements is a different business to one doing bathroom renovations — and the campaigns should reflect that.

You don’t have visibility on what’s working

The monthly report arrives. Impressions, clicks, cost per lead. But you can’t tell which campaigns are generating revenue and which are generating noise. You’re paying for expertise but getting a slideshow.

What Your Agency Doesn't Track

The metrics that actually measure profit

Cost Per Customer

Cost per lead: $45 ✓
Cost per booked customer: $380 ✗

After no-shows, tyre-kickers, and wrong-fit enquiries — the number that tells you if ads are actually profitable.

Lead-to-Sale Rate

Leads this month: 120
Leads that converted: 14 (12%)

Lead volume means nothing if your close rate from ads is 12%. The question is why — and where the other 88% dropped off.

Revenue Per Source

CPA from Google: $52
Google job value: $1,800 vs Meta: $420

Not all channels attract the same customer. Google Search leads book bigger jobs. Meta leads book smaller ones. Your agency reports them the same.

GBP vs Paid Attribution

Calls from ads: 84
GBP organic miscounted as paid: ~30%

If your Google Business Profile calls are being attributed to your ad campaigns, your cost per lead looks better than it is. And your agency has no incentive to fix it.

Follow-Up Conversion

Leads delivered: 95
Followed up within 1 hour: 38

Speed-to-lead is the biggest conversion lever most service businesses ignore. If your CRM isn’t triggering follow-up instantly, you’re losing customers your ads already paid for.

AI Discoverability

Website live: ✓
Visible to AI assistants: ✗

When someone asks an AI assistant ‘best plumber near me’, are you in the answer? If your site lacks structured data and AI-readable content, you’re invisible to the next wave of search.

Lead Quality Intelligence

Know which leads are worth chasing before you spend more

Your team's time is the bottleneck. We deliver the data and systems to focus it on leads that actually convert.

Lead Source Analysis

Performance broken down by traffic source, keyword, and campaign. Know which leads become customers and which burn your team’s time — with data, not gut feel.

VIP setup

CRM & Pipeline Audit

Full audit of your lead-to-sale pipeline. CRM setup, lead routing, follow-up sequences, and attribution accuracy. If the pipeline is leaking, better ads just fill a broken bucket faster.

AI Discoverability Assessment

Is your business visible to AI assistants? We assess your structured data, Google Business Profile optimisation, and AI-readable content to ensure you’re discoverable in the next generation of search.

By Industry

We track the metrics that matter for your type of business

Not all service businesses measure success the same way. We use the right metrics for your industry.

Trades

  • Cost per booked job
  • Job value by traffic source
  • Repeat customer rate

You don’t want more calls. You want more booked jobs at the right margin.

Health & Beauty

  • Cost per new client booking
  • Rebooking rate by campaign
  • Client lifetime value

Not every enquiry becomes a client. We track the ones that do — and optimise for those.

Fitness & Leisure

  • Trial-to-membership conversion
  • Recurring revenue per acquisition
  • Cost per retained member

A $30 trial that becomes a $1,200/yr member is a very different acquisition than one that doesn’t.

Professional Services

  • Cost per qualified consultation
  • Engagement value by source
  • Referral source tracking

A consultation request from someone who’s already researched your expertise is worth ten times a price-shopping enquiry.

How It Works

From conversation to partnership

1

Discovery Call

We discuss your business, ad setup, and goals — an honest conversation to see if there’s a fit.

2

Growth Check

Your first real investment. Three reports that show exactly where you stand: competitor intelligence, landing page audit, and GBP & AI discoverability.

3

You Decide

The reports are yours. Share them with your team, hand them to your current agency, or act on them yourself. They work regardless of what you do next.

4

Go Further (If You Want To)

Some businesses want ongoing support. If that’s you, we’ll talk about partnership. If not, you keep everything.
