    #23 - Contractor Marketing That Works! : SEO vs Google Ads, AI Content & Video Ads (w/ Adam McChesney)

    On The Contractor’s Edge podcast, host Nick interviews Adam McChesney, founder of Builders of Authority, about scalable marketing for contractors. Adam shares how he started by building 200 lead-gen websites and explains why contractors should stick to fundamentals instead of chasing algorithms, noting Google’s spam updates and that Google can detect low-quality AI content. They discuss when to prioritize LSA and PPC for fast leads, upcoming Local Service Ads changes, and how to budget Google Ads by reverse-engineering cost-per-click to achieve enough daily clicks for optimization. Adam emphasizes landing pages that match search intent, ROI-first tracking down to keywords, and transparent reporting. They cover WordPress as the website standard, strong calls-to-action and click-to-call, using AI as a tool (not “AI slop”), the small current share of AI-driven leads, speed-to-lead, and effective Facebook remarketing and simple video ads plus organic content.   🏗️ CONNECT WITH ADAM — BUILDERS OF AUTHORITY 🌐 Website → https://buildauthority.com/adam-mcchesney/ 📸 Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/adamlmcchesney/ 📘 Youtube  → https://www.youtube.com/@UCDp15LGAJkpyym4k3b7rvcA   🎤 Podcast → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/builders-of-authority/id1610240971 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🚀 WORK WITH BETTER BOSS 🔥 Free Growth Audit → https://cal.com/mybetterboss.ai/jobtread-free-growth-audit-call 🌐 Website → https://better-boss.ai 🧱 AI Implementation → https://better-boss.ai/services/ai-accelerated-implementation/ 🏆 AI Boss Certification → https://better-boss.ai/aiboss/ 🎓 JobTread Training → https://better-boss.ai/jobtread-training/ 📞 Call or text → (720) 636-9500 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎧 FOLLOW THE SHOW 📺 YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@betterboss 🎵 Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/0596WS1QfUv7ZaXKz1G2oI 🍎 Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-contractors-edge-podcast-build-better-businesses/id1890237225 🎙️ All episodes → https://the-contractors-edge.podbean.com 📸 Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/better_boss.ai/ 📘 Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/betterbossbrands 💼 Nick on LinkedIn → https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickperet ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📈 WHAT OUR CLIENTS SEE ✅ +23% close rate ✅ 3x faster estimates ✅ 20+ hours saved every week ✅ +6% profit margin ✅ $1M+ added annual revenue ✅ Live in 30 business days — guaranteed ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 200 Websites in 18 Months 00:39 Podcast Intro and Guest 01:34 Adam’s Marketing Origin Story 02:52 Stop Chasing Algorithms 05:32 SEO vs Paid Leads Now 08:03 LSA Changes Explained 10:08 Google Ads Budget Math 12:05 Landing Pages That Convert 14:40 ROI Tracking and Transparency 17:45 Web Design Basics and WordPress 19:56 Calls to Action Everywhere 20:42 AI Content Done Right 22:20 Is Google Really Dead 22:37 AI Leads vs Search Volume 24:50 Rank Everywhere With SEO 26:44 Instant Quotes and CTAs 27:56 Speed to Lead Systems 29:49 Facebook Ads That Work 33:33 Organic Content Basics 35:34 Hiring Agencies Wisely 36:28 Final Wrap and Goodbye

    #21 - The Ultimate Contractor Content Strategy - YouTube, Facebook Groups, Hooks, Thumbnails & AI Tools

    Nick hosts The Contractor’s Edge podcast with guest Chad Lubinski to share how contractors can use content to grow credibility, leads, and community by acting early on trends, similar to how Chad grew by repurposing TikToks into Instagram Reels. They emphasize YouTube as a long-tail, evergreen platform driven by keyword research (using vidIQ) and Facebook groups as a highly targeted “captured audience” where consistent, value-first participation builds trust and referrals. They discuss using Instagram mainly for personal brand and potential brand deals, and recommend tools like Descript, vidIQ, ChatGPT, and Canva to speed editing, captions, thumbnails, titles, and repurposing long-form videos into Shorts/Reels and blogs. They stress commitment, consistency, strong hooks and matching thumbnails to reduce early drop-off, and selective A/B testing once view volume is sufficient.

    #20 - Building the AI-Powered Operating System for Your Contracting Business | Grant Fuellenbach

    Building the AI-Powered Operating System for Your Contracting Business | Grant Fuellenbach Most contractors are trying to buy AI before they've built the system underneath it. Grant Fuellenbach has spent his career on the other side of that — tech, drones, sales ops — and now he installs AI-powered operating systems for builders doing $1.5M–$15M. We get into what an AI "skill" actually is, how to turn your SOPs into automations that run at 5am without you, the exact prompt to audit your own JobTread org, and the free Google tool Grant calls his favorite in the entire stack. Systems first. AI second. That's the whole episode. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHAT WE COVER - Why saying "no" is the highest-ROI skill an owner can build - The mentor moment that changed Grant's entire career trajectory - Why JobTread beats the $1,300/month legacy platforms - How to start with AI without wasting tokens, time, or trust - The audit prompt: point AI at your own org and find the gaps - AI skills = SOPs your software can actually execute - Scheduled tasks: pull your P&L, check supplier pricing, update your catalog — automatically - Walk-through floor plans at 1:1 human scale, plus AI plan reviews before the client ever shows up - Why contractors have the biggest leapfrog opportunity of anyone right now ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ CONNECT WITH GRANT FUELLENBACH GO First Consulting → https://gofirstconsulting.com Beyond the Bid Podcast → https://beyondthebid.co/podcast Beyond the Bid on Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/5XTdfFOmZrJAWJrOwRcx0X Beyond the Bid on Apple → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/beyond-the-bid/id1780834953 LinkedIn → https://www.linkedin.com/in/grantfuellenbach/ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WORK WITH BETTER BOSS Free Growth Audit → https://cal.com/mybetterboss.ai/jobtread-free-growth-audit-call Website → https://better-boss.ai AI Implementation → https://better-boss.ai/services/ai-accelerated-implementation/ Boss Club → https://better-boss.ai/services/boss-club/ AI Boss Certification → https://better-boss.ai/aiboss/ JobTread Training → https://better-boss.ai/jobtread-training/ Call or text → (720) 636-9500 FOLLOW THE SHOW YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@betterboss Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/0596WS1QfUv7ZaXKz1G2oI Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-contractors-edge-podcast-build-better-businesses/id1890237225 All episodes → https://the-contractors-edge.podbean.com Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/better_boss.ai/ Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/betterbossbrands ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 01:17 CSU Connection and Backstory Setup 02:08 Tech Roots and Early Startup 04:37 Sales Ops and Systems Mindset 05:55 Drones in Construction 06:59 DJI Ban and Drone Picks 09:16 Mindset, Boundaries and Coaching 14:12 Mentorship Stories and Learning 17:54 Why JobTread Wins 21:57 Pricing, Community and AI Costs 23:52 Claude Costs Rising 24:49 Day CRM Automation 26:07 Todoist Task Sync 27:08 Choosing a CRM 28:39 Starting With AI 29:39 Prompt Cowboy and Audit Prompts 32:58 The Contractor AI Advantage 35:38 Skills and Routines 37:51 The Podcast Skill Workflow 39:46 Projectiv Walk-Through Floor Plans 42:09 NotebookLM and Closing Tips ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ TOOLS MENTIONED JobTread · Claude · NotebookLM · Day.ai · Todoist · Prompt Cowboy · GoHighLevel · Projectiv · QuickBooks Online · Autel & DJI drones ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The Contractor's Edge — helping contractors build better businesses.

    #19 - 75% of Construction Jobs Go Over Budget — Here's Why

    75% of construction projects go over budget or over schedule. Ryan Brown gets hired to make sure yours isn't one of them. Ryan is the owner of Ry Michael Group and a full-time owner's rep — the guy an out-of-state investor hires to be their boots on the ground on a $3.5M custom home in the Colorado Rockies. He tracks the GC, reads the schedule, catches the change orders, and makes sure nobody's billing for finished goods that are still sitting in the rough. This is round two (round one died when I left the mic down — so this one runs on tequila and a 22-minute timer). We get into schedules that actually hold, subs who actually buy in, and where AI is already changing estimating on real jobs. If you run projects, manage subs, or write estimates — this one's for you. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHAT YOU'LL GET OUT OF THIS ▸ The 4 things that blow up a project: unforeseens, runaway change orders, improper billing, and mismanagement ▸ How Ryan builds a schedule from scratch — templates, civil tie-ins first, door closed, jazz on ▸ Why your subs won't use JobTread or Procore — and the mindset shift that fixes it: "you are their customer" ▸ Real buy-in: meet them early, walk the site, ask about their life. You're spending 14 months with this guy ▸ Why GCs won't use the master electrician they just paid a fortune for ▸ Uploading a full set of plans to Claude for estimating — and why you over-dimension the drawings first ▸ The daily log is your second Bible — and how AI reads it back to fix your NEXT estimate ▸ The one question that saves a week on your next schedule: "How could I have made this easier for you?" ▸ Sub meetings = NFL film study. The pros don't watch film before the game just to lose ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ CHAPTERS 00:00 Round Two Kickoff 00:33 Audio Fail And Tequila Reset 01:18 What An Owner's Rep Actually Does 02:28 Avoiding Overruns And Change Orders 03:28 Scheduling Mindset And Templates 04:54 Detail Level And Schedule Truth 05:34 Subcontractor Buy-In With Tools 08:04 Team Culture And Using Your Experts 09:50 Ego-Free Leadership And Trust 11:28 Human Connection In An AI World 12:30 AI Estimating From Plans 13:18 Daily Logs Improve Schedules 14:12 Voice Notes In The Field 14:54 Client Portal And Accountability 16:39 Dynamic Systems And Consistency 18:16 Sub Feedback Saves Weeks 19:10 Truthful Communication Culture 20:01 Serve-First Leadership 21:28 Owner's Rep And Schedule Truth 22:26 NFL Film Study Sub Meetings 23:49 Closing Advice And Next Steps

    #18 - How Claude and JobTread Are Reshaping Contracting

    On The Contractor’s Edge, the host talks with Chris Treese (Olympus Outdoors) and Johnny Buck (13 Stripes Construction) about using AI in contracting—connecting tools like Claude with JobTread for proposals, scope checks, and systemized repeatable tasks—while warning that AI can amplify mistakes, shouldn’t replace client communication, and may widen economic inequality, especially for newer business owners. Johnny explains the origin of “ihatejohnnybuck.com” from a grappling gym story, shares views on coaching, leadership, and executing what you learn rather than consuming information. Chris describes a major personal transformation, losing weight from 280 to about 184, using fitness to regain control after a project manager caused $872,000 in losses, and choosing sobriety after realizing he’s an alcoholic. They close with advice on taking action despite anxiety.   -- https://olympus-outdoors.com/ --  -- https://13stripesconstruction.com/ --    🔥 Book Your FREE Growth Audit → https://cal.com/mybetterboss.ai/jobtread-free-growth-audit-call 📞 CONNECT WITH BETTER BOSS: 🌐 Website: https://better-boss.ai 📧 Brittney: brittney@mybetterboss.ai 📞 Phone: (720) 636-9500 📍 Highlands Ranch, Colorado ⚡ We only take limited clients per month.

    #17 - How They Turned Setbacks into Success | Bella Builders

    On The Contractors Edge podcast, the host interviews Dallas, Wes, and Paul of Bella Builders about how their partnership formed and what drives their custom luxury home business in Florida. Paul shares early construction influence from his father, an 11-year NFL career, getting his builder’s license in 2002, taking a hiatus, then returning after serious personal loss and health challenges, including multiple strokes and stepping into troubled oceanfront projects after another builder lost his license. Dallas explains how a church connection and his high school coach vouched for him, leading him to work with Paul and grow into the business. Wes recounts shifting from an IT and real estate background into appraising after the 2008 crash, leveraging bank contacts, and later joining to help Bella Builders scale through better systems, software, and communication, including JobTread and coaching support. The conversation also covers sports, adversity, mindset, faith, and perseverance. -- Bella Builders -- https://bellabuildersinc.com/   🔥 Book Your FREE Growth Audit → https://cal.com/mybetterboss.ai/jobtread-free-growth-audit-call 📞 CONNECT WITH BETTER BOSS: 🌐 Website: https://better-boss.ai 📧 Brittney: brittney@mybetterboss.ai 📞 Phone: (720) 636-9500 📍 Highlands Ranch, Colorado ⚡ We only take limited clients per month.

    #16 - Contractors, This Is Why You're Stuck (& How to Break Free)

    On The Contractor’s Edge podcast, the host interviews Philip Sessions of Refined VA, a JobTread implementation partner, about using consistent content to build trust with homeowners and generate qualified contractor leads even without going viral. They share practical contractor content ideas (before/after, jobsite education, testimonials, and objection-handling videos) and discuss why marketing that answers common sales questions can raise close rates. Philip explains how Refined VA shifted from social media support to operational support for contractors, including VA placements and JobTread system builds, emphasizing the need for clear expectations, communication norms, and basic templates before delegating estimating and back-office tasks. They cover cultural considerations when working with Philippines-based VAs, why delegation accelerates growth, and advise contractors to start JobTread by standardizing cost codes and building one core estimate template, then expanding systems for scalability through consistency.   -- Phillip's Links --  https://refinedva.com/about https://www.instagram.com/iamphilipsessions/ https://www.youtube.com/philipsessions     🔥 Book Your FREE Growth Audit → https://cal.com/mybetterboss.ai/jobtread-free-growth-audit-call 📞 CONNECT WITH BETTER BOSS: 🌐 Website: https://better-boss.ai 📧 Brittney: brittney@mybetterboss.ai 📞 Phone: (720) 636-9500 📍 Highlands Ranch, Colorado ⚡ We only take limited clients per month.
