McDuffs Stuff in Bloomsburg

I was swapping emails yesterday and today (I had also spoken with him on the phone) with a new restoration client prospect and he asked some great questions before signing up for a lead gen program… So I figure I would copy/paste the conversation here so everyone else can benefit as well on multiple levels… 1- On a practical level as we go back and forth about specifics on what we define as a lead so it’s crystal clear, pricing and billing structures, call tracking dashboard capabilities, etc. 2- On more of a personal level which should alleviate any concerns of working with a new marketing company. There is a ton of rapport and trust built here as questions are answered and concerns are assuaged. I really think this showcases my personal and professional code of ethics that I conduct myself by. ———————— Hey Justin, A couple of questions: 1. Disputes: what if there is water damage but the caller insists on having a plumber out first? There is no charge for reconstruction lead

I feel like it’s good to document one’s “stuff” that they’re doing…and was recently inspired to do more of it by the Great and Powerful Alex Hormozi.   I hope this serves you in one way or another…   If nothing else it should show you how I’m constantly learning and adapting to serve my restoration clients better …   In this case, I’m looking for the best answering service possible…   Why?   As you know I record all phone calls for quality and training purposes but of course also for tracking and billing reasons.   So I’ve listened to A LOT OF CALLS over the years…   And some of them are truly AWFUL!   I’ll embed a few into this post so you can see what I mean.   The only thing I edited out is any personal information for obvious privacy reasons. Specific street addresses, full phone numbers, etc…   Other than that, they are completely unchanged, including…   All of the painfully large gaps of dead silence in between questions and answers… The strong,

We wanted to create a separate page dedicated to restoration marketing in a broader sense vs our more specific water damage leads page. Why? Marketing goes well beyond strict lead generation. With the latter, it’s just a matter of sending qualified calls to you as the business owner. Yes, of course that’s via different marketing methods, primarily search engine marketing and local maps listings. But, this is done with our own branded assets vs yours. That way we can track said leads via trackable phone numbers that forward to yours in real time. But a more complete water damage marketing campaign would include things such as: SEO For Restoration Companies Creating a complete SEO project for your own company brand and promoting you directly. PR/Brand management Customized press release and video syndication…again, for building your brand directly vs one we create. Making you and your company the locally recognized authority in the water restoration industry. This would

I absolutely looooove Google! I’ve been beyond fascinated with search engines, obsessed even…even before Google was a thing… …think Lycos, AltaVista, AskJeeves, WebCrawler, Excite, OG Yahoo, etc…super early versions of what we now consider modern day search engines. Early 90’s nostalgia… Then came Google officially in ’98…and as we all know they grew into the 800lb Gorilla of the industry… now with around 85% of the total market share in search!!! That’s why my company Real Time Lead Gen is highly focused on marketing in their search engine specifically…as that’s where the lion’s share of the business is…by far. The old adage “Don’t judge a book by its cover” definitely applies here. No special lights, camera, or backdrop…just snapped a quick pic with my cell phone. The tshirt is a decade or so old now and beat to shit I know…but I wear it often. I received it as part of the first real marketing mastermind I was a part of back then and it really anchors things in for me…

Even if you only have a very basic, preliminary understanding of how search engine marketing works… …maybe you read a few articles about “this SEO stuff”. I’m sure you’ve heard of “keywords” otherwise known as search terms. In you and I’s focus industry, restoration, the most common being what I call “The Big 4” and are pretty obvious really… Water Damage Restoration Water Removal Water Mitigation Mold Remediation Whether your using them for Google Ads PPC campaign targets, anchor texts for linkbuilding, or the basic ideas for content generation for blog posts, videos, press releases, etc… Those are the big ones. Those get the highest search volume by far coupled with being highly relevant as far as “commercial intent” goes. That said, there are tons of other keywords of all sorts that are highly relevant to our water damage lead gen campaigns. Some only get a handful of searches per month in any particular location. That’s fine…they add up in a big way when you start o
