About
I'd rather be useful than impressive.
Most of the people I work with have paid a marketing company before and came away with no idea what they actually got for it. I try very hard not to be that.
Hi, I'm Brad
I run Very Good Marketing Co. out of Hartselle, Alabama. Before this I spent about fifteen years building websites and software, which mostly means I've seen a lot of ways for things to quietly not work.
I work with owner-run home service businesses. Roofers, painters, HVAC techs, plumbers, electricians, concrete guys, tree services, gutter companies, remodelers, landscapers. The kind of business where the owner is still on the truck most days.
Almost everyone finds me the same way. The phone is quieter than it should be, or money is going out the door for marketing and nothing obvious is coming back, and they don't know which of those two things to worry about first.
That's the part I actually enjoy. Not selling websites. Working out which of the six or seven things that could be wrong is the one costing you real money, and then going and fixing it.
I'm not a big shop and I'm not trying to be. That means I can't take everybody, but it also means the person who looks at your business is the person who does the work and the person who answers when you call.
How the money works
Nobody likes finding this out three calls in, so here it is up front.
Looking is free
The first conversation and the look at your business don't cost anything. You get told what I found either way, even if the answer is that you're fine and you don't need me.
One monthly price, posted in public
There are three packages, starting at $297 a month. Setup is normally $299, and right now it's free. You can see exactly what each one includes on thepricing page.
Month to month, and ad money goes straight to Google
No long-term contract. If you run ads, you pay Google directly, so you see every dollar. The package has to keep earning its place. If it stops being worth it, you stop paying for it.
How I work
Six things that tend to be different from the last company you paid.
You do not have to know what is wrong
Most people call me because the phone is quieter than it should be and they have no idea why. That is a completely normal place to start. Working out the cause is the service.
I look before I sell you anything
I am not going to tell you that you need SEO just because I sell SEO. And I am not telling you to spend more on ads before we know what is happening to the leads you already get.
Plain English, every time
You will never get a report full of impressions and engagement rates. Calls, leads, booked jobs, and what things cost. If a number does not help you decide something, it does not go in.
Built for how your day actually goes
You do not have a marketing department and you are on a job when the phone rings. Anything we set up has to run without you and be readable in five minutes between calls.
You keep everything
Your website, your domain, your Google profile, your customer list, your phone number. All of it in your name, so nothing is held hostage if we part ways.
You talk to me, not a call center
You get the person doing the work. Questions get answered by somebody who knows your account, not a ticket queue and not a different account manager every quarter.
Not getting enough calls?
You do not need to know what kind of marketing you need. Tell me what is happening with your business and we will work out what has to change.
