How much new work can marketing bring a contractor?+
It depends on your trade, area, and how fast you close, but the contractors we run typically add $10-30K in new work a month from ads on $5,000 in spend, plus $10-20K from SEO. One Miami remodeler booked close to $500K in a single quarter. The more local demand, the higher the ceiling.
Is marketing worth it for a contractor?+
For most high-ticket contractors it's the highest-return channel there is - over the last 12 months we turned $1.2M in ad spend into $4.7M in booked revenue. And you own every asset we build, so the spend compounds instead of resetting. That's the difference from renting shared leads.
How long does it take to see results?+
Ads can put jobs on the calendar the same month; SEO usually builds a steady flow over about 90 days and then compounds. One waterproofer hit the top three across his area in two months. The cases above generally hit their numbers within a single quarter.
Do the results last if we stop working together?+
Yes - because you own the website, ad account, ranking, and reviews, they keep working, unlike shared leads that stop the day you stop paying. Rankings and reputation need upkeep to hold, but the asset is yours. That's owning the machine instead of renting leads.
Can a smaller contractor outrank bigger competitors?+
Yes - local search rewards the most complete and trusted profile, not the biggest brand, so a focused local contractor can beat a larger outfit nearby. It comes down to a stronger profile, more reviews, and better local pages. Roving Revenue closes exactly those gaps.
What kind of ROI do your ads get?+
Across contractors we run, ads come back at roughly $4 booked for every $1 spent - one remodeler went from clicks and tire-kickers to about 4x return once the offer, creative, and follow-up were fixed. Your number depends on your margins and how fast you close.
Do more Google reviews actually win more jobs?+
Yes - homeowners check reviews before they call, and reviews are one of the biggest factors in both ranking and getting chosen. A steady, recent flow makes you the obvious pick instead of another price quote. One pool builder lifted his close rate 30% doing this.
How do I stop losing jobs to cheaper competitors?+
Reach homeowners who care about quality over the lowest bid, and let your work and reviews do the talking. One pool builder we work with raised his average job 40% and his close rate 30% by targeting exactly those buyers. You compete on trust, not price.
Why does marketing work for some contractors and not others?+
The ones that win have ads from real work, a top Google spot, a steady review flow, and instant follow-up on every lead - the rest leak jobs at one of those steps. Small gaps add up. Roving Revenue installs the whole machine so nothing slips.
How do you measure the jobs marketing brings in?+
Through profile views, calls, ad ROAS, and CRM tracking that ties a booked job back to the lead that started it - all on one dashboard you watch alongside us. Every dollar is tracked to the jobs it books, so you always see what's working.
