Problems We Fix

You probably don’t need more leads.

You need to know where the ones you already have are going. We help home service companies find the leaks between the first search and the next referral — then fix the ones that matter.

You don’t need to know exactly what the problem is. That’s what we figure out.

The Customer Journey

The business has more places to leak than most people realize.

A homeowner finds you. Calls. Books. Gets an estimate. Hires you. Pays. Leaves a review. Calls again. Tells a neighbor.

Every step is an opportunity to earn revenue — or lose it. Before you spend more getting people into the funnel, make sure the funnel works.

The Ten Leaks

We look at the whole business. Not just marketing.

You don’t need ten new systems. You need to know which parts of the customer journey are costing you money.

01

FOUND

People need what you do. They don’t find you.

02

CALLED

The phone rings. Nobody answers or follows up.

03

BOOKED

A good lead calls. No appointment gets made.

04

QUOTED

The estimate goes out. Then goes cold.

05

CLOSED

The opportunity was real. The sale never happened.

06

SERVED

The job gets done. The experience costs you the next one.

07

PAID

You earned the money. Collecting it becomes the problem.

08

REVIEWED

Happy customer. No review.

09

REBOOKED

Past customers go cold while competitors keep marketing.

10

REFERRED

Great customers would recommend you. Nobody asks.

You don’t need to fix all ten. You need to know which ones are costing you money.

How We Work

We start with the business problem. Not the solution we happen to sell.

Agencies tend to start with channels. Software companies start with their platform. AI consultants start with AI. We start with your numbers.

Where are customers dropping out? Where is revenue disappearing? What is worth fixing first?

01

Find It.

Find the leak and understand what it’s costing you.

02

Fix It.

Fix the highest-value problem first and build a system around it.

03

Grow It.

Once the system can hold the opportunity, put more into it.

AI in Its Proper Place

AI isn’t the strategy. It’s one way we fix the leak.

We use AI where it saves time, improves consistency or catches revenue that would otherwise disappear. We ignore it everywhere else.
