Google Guaranteed Local Services...going live today.

[Mikey P]

I had my training session with some rookie that couldn't or wouldn't answer some of my questions. Some discrepancies with his facts over the sales pitch.



I'll let you know.

turns out they sold me a bill of goods.

Local Services is not available in my area.

I asked them in every way possible after Fred warned me yet they insisted it was....
F'n huge waste of time.

Marty hangs out on Waldopes world and has the audacity to complain about wasting time?

 

[hogjowl]

It’s one of the few reel places left

 

[Mikey P]

Yeah.

Ok

AdWords and google gaurenteed is almost the same thing.

 

[dealtimeman]

Pay per click.

Facebook/insta way better

 

[Mikey P]

way?
who the F searches either for a cleaner?

GG is for direct search queries.



23 Google Guaranteed cleaning companies in New York City.




If your Google biz page is already getting you (free) customers, with GG you'll now be paying for most of them I suppose.


3 in San Jose.

Ya no direct searches of course but still people are glued to fb on their phones 24/7.

Adwords we always have success at a certain budget but when we try and scale it up its wasted money. Still trying to get better at it, really competitive here though.

Facebook tends to work better overall

A lot of people in general dont search for the service but see it on facebook then realize they need it

 

[Mikey P]

how many completed jobs did you get off FB in 18 and at what acquisition cost?

 

[Mikey P]

fwiw our cost per completed job off yelp in Scruz was $15. 248 jobs with a 448 average.


but a somewhat shitty cost of $65 in NV

 

[Acp]

We didnt start on fb until end of last summer but so far its working great. Yelp was getting really annoying so many young people and tire kickers.

Took a while to get better at fb.. gotta be creative and not post stupid cat memes.

I made a filtration line post and targeted an area with tons of cheaply built (still 600k) cookie cutter houses got a really good return.

 

[Mikey P]

are you willing to show me your FB ads and budget?

 

[Acp]

Sure. I can screen shot from my pc tomorrow

 

[Mikey P]

Gracias

Most recent cc post .. boosted only $100, reached 5000people in a small specific area, 390+ post clicks. 18 msg s, 7 jobs booked by phone call, 3 DM. $3970.xx

That one i would say was one of the better ones, but sometimes even just a $30 boost does good.

I post before/after shower jobs and those are great return even landing 1-2 jobs

 

[Mikey P]

Turns out Carson City is available....


I'll give it a try.

Thanks for convincing me I’m no longer “just a carpet cleaner”, but a FLOOR SPECIALIST.

You’re an idiot
Just like the rest of us

[Lars]

I was just thinking of looking into google guaranteed. Maybe good for surrounding cities. What is the average click price on this?

 

[Louis]

Do they give you cost per click? They called me today and they are going live in my area in a couple of months.

 

[Mikey P]

Two calls so far.

Niether booked.


Winter.

 

[Louis]

Any more calls? I might try it but I’m afraid I’m just going to get lazy price shoppers.

Still waiting in SCruz to go live


Dud so far in NV
