Very Good Marketing Co. — You run the business. We figure out the marketing.

How we help

We get your phone ringing. We make sure you never miss a call.

You don't have to read this page and pick something. That's backwards, and it's how most people end up paying for marketing they didn't need.

Here's what the work looks like. Every package starts with making sure your calls get answered, then adds what it takes to make the phone ring more. Prices areright on this page.

Everything below is one of these six steps

A customer has to get all the way through this to become a booked job. My whole job is finding which step is losing them.

  1. Step 1

    Somebody searches for your service

    Can they find you?

  2. Step 2

    They see your business

    Do they trust you enough to call?

  3. Step 3

    They visit your website

    Is it easy to contact you?

  4. Step 4

    They call or send a form

    How quickly does somebody respond?

  5. Step 5

    They ask for an estimate

    Does anybody follow up?

  6. Step 6

    They hire you

    Are you turning them into reviews and referrals?

Six places to lose the job. Most businesses are losing them in two or three.

The tricky part is that it is almost never the step you would guess. Plenty of owners are sure they need a new website when the real problem is that nobody answers the phone at 4:45 on a Friday. More marketing is not always the answer. Sometimes you just need to fix what happens to the leads you already have.

Turn More Website Visitors Into Calls

Website design and conversion improvements

A website is not a brochure. It has one job, which is to turn somebody who is looking into somebody who calls you.

Most contractor sites lose people in the same few ways. They load slowly on a phone. They bury the phone number. They talk about the company instead of the problem the homeowner has right now. They show no proof that real people hired you and were glad they did.

We build the site around the call. Your number where a thumb can reach it, plain answers to what you do and where, real photos of your work, and a form short enough that people finish it.

+ Do I need a whole new website?

Not always. Sometimes the site is fine and the problem is somewhere else entirely. That is the point of looking first.

+ Who owns it?

You do. The domain, the site, the content. If we ever part ways it goes with you.

What that actually means

  • A site that loads fast on a phone, which is where most of your traffic is
  • Your phone number always within reach, on every screen
  • Plain writing about the work you do and the problems you fix
  • Photos of your actual jobs instead of stock images
  • A short contact form people finish instead of abandoning
  • Built in your name, on your domain, and yours to keep

Get In Front of People Looking for Your Service

Google Local Services Ads and Google Ads

Search ads are the fastest lever there is. Someone types "roof leak repair" and you are the first thing they see.

We usually start with Google Local Services Ads, the ones with the Google Guaranteed badge at the very top. You pay per lead instead of per click, and Google refunds junk calls.

The trap is that it is also the fastest way to burn a budget. Most accounts we look at are paying for clicks from the wrong towns, the wrong jobs, and people shopping for something the business does not even do.

We keep the money on the searches that turn into work you want, and we watch what it costs you per actual call, not per click.

+ How much should I spend?

It depends on your trade, your area, and what a job is worth to you. We work that out before you commit, not after. If the numbers do not work, we say so.

+ What if ads are not the answer?

Then we do not run them. Spending more on ads when the leads you already get are going unanswered is the most common expensive mistake we see.

What that actually means

  • Google Local Services Ads set up, verified, and managed
  • Search ads aimed at the jobs you want, not every job in your trade
  • Blocking the searches that waste money before they cost you
  • Landing pages built to get the call, not just the click
  • Call tracking so you can see what the ads actually produced
  • A monthly number you can read in five minutes: spend in, calls out

Turn Happy Customers Into More Reviews

Reputation and review management

Reviews decide more jobs than most owners realize. A homeowner comparing two companies they have never heard of goes with the one other people vouched for. It is not fair, but it is what happens.

You do good work. The gap is almost never quality, it is that nobody asked. And when you do remember to ask, it is three days later and the moment has passed.

We build the ask into the job, so it goes out while the customer still remembers you showing up on time. And we make sure a bad review gets your attention the same day instead of sitting there for a week.

+ Can I get an unfair review taken down?

Usually not. But you can bury it. A steady flow of new reviews pushes it down fast, and a calm public reply does more for the next reader than the review does against you.

+ Will my customers get spammed?

No. One ask, one reminder, then it stops. Anything more costs you the goodwill you just earned.

What that actually means

  • A review request that goes out on its own when the job is finished
  • Text and email asks that people actually open
  • One reminder, then it stops, so nobody feels nagged
  • An alert when a bad review lands, while you can still do something about it
  • Help writing replies that read like a professional, not a lawyer

Get Every Lead to You Right Away

Instant lead alerts, fast first reply, one place for every lead

The most expensive lead is the one you already paid for and never saw in time.

It happens the same way every time. A form comes in at 4pm while you are finishing a job, and you see it the next morning. A voicemail sits until Monday. By then they hired whoever got back to them first.

We make sure every lead reaches you right away, wherever it came from, with what you need to call them back. You do the booking and the follow-up. We make sure nothing sits where you will not see it.

+ Do you follow up with my leads for me?

No. You know your customers and your prices, so you make the call. Our job is making sure every lead gets to you fast, with what you need to call back.

+ Do I have to learn a new app?

No. Leads come to you by text. There is an app if you want it, but you never have to open it.

What that actually means

  • A text to you the moment a call, text, or form comes in
  • An instant reply to web forms, so the customer knows you got it
  • Every call, text, and form in one place instead of four apps
  • A simple view of every lead and where it came from

Make Sure Someone Answers When You Can Not

AI receptionist, missed-call text back, after-hours answering

A missed call is not a missed call. It is a job somebody else booked.

You are on a roof. You are under a house. You are driving with a trailer and both hands on the wheel. The phone rings and there is nothing you can do about it.

Meanwhile the homeowner with water coming through a ceiling is calling three companies and hiring whoever picks up. If your phone rings out at 4:45 on a Friday, that work is gone and you will never know it existed.

The fix is not hiring an office. It is making sure something answers. If you do not pick up in about 15 seconds, or it is after hours, an AI receptionist answers in your business name. It gets the caller's name, number, what they need, and how urgent it is, then tells them you will call back within one business hour.

You get a text with all of it right away. If someone hangs up before anyone answers, they get a text back within a minute so the conversation stays alive.

+ Does this replace my office person?

No. It covers the calls they cannot get to and the hours nobody is there, and hands over a warm conversation instead of a voicemail.

+ Is it a robot answering my phone?

Only for the calls you cannot get to. Your phone rings first. If you do not pick up, the AI receptionist answers instead of voicemail, takes the details, and texts them to you. It does not book jobs or quote prices. That stays with you.

What that actually means

  • An AI receptionist that answers in your business name when you cannot
  • After-hours and weekend coverage so nothing waits until Monday
  • A text to you with every caller's name, number, and what they need
  • An automatic text back to anyone who hangs up before anyone answers
  • A record of every call that came in and what happened to it

Let Me Take a Look

So how do we work out which of those you need?

The same way every time. You do not have to prepare anything.

  1. 1

    Tell me what is happening

    We talk about your business. Where your customers come from now, what you have already tried, what you paid for it, and what you wish was different. You do not need to know what is wrong. That is my job.

  2. 2

    I go look for the problems

    I go through the places customers find you, contact you, and decide whether to hire you. Your website, your Google listing, your reviews, your ads if you run them, and what happens after a lead comes in.

  3. 3

    We fix the right things first

    You get a plain-English list of what I found and what it is costing you, in order. We start with whatever is most likely to put work on your calendar, instead of spending money on everything at once.

  4. 4

    We keep watching it

    Every call gets tracked, and you get a plain report each month: how many calls came in, where they came from, and how many we caught that you would have missed. When the business changes, the marketing changes with it.

Still not sure which one is your problem?

Good. That is exactly the right reason to call. Tell me what is happening and I will go find out.
