In this episode of Marketing for Tradies, Shannon breaks down the results of a real experiment where she submitted the exact same enquiry to 10 local roofing companies.

This episode dives into why lead response time is the real deciding factor when it comes to winning work, and how tradies can improve their lead conversion without increasing ad spend. If you want to win more jobs, generate more leads, and grow your trades business, this episode will show you how to take advantage of what Shannon calls the “golden window” ⏱️ and turn more enquiries into booked work.

    Facebook Ads Not Working? THIS Is Why!

    So many businesses lose jobs they should have won, not because of pricing, not because of poor service, but simply because the prospect forgot about them. In this week’s episode of Websites That Convert, Shannon breaks down the real reason your leads don’t convert and the low-cost retargeting strategy that can instantly double your results… without increasing your ad spend. If you’re running Facebook or Instagram ads, this is the missing piece. Most people won’t inquire the first time they see you, studies show they need to see your brand at least 7 times before taking action. This is exactly where retargeting becomes your most powerful tool. Whether you're a service-based business or a trade business, this strategy can make you look like a bigger, more professional brand while capturing the leads you’re currently losing.
