ADS Building & Remodeling
Strategic Proposal · May 2026

Your business is generating leads.
You just can't see them.

A 4-month audit of your analytics, advertising, and on-site funnel has surfaced one insight that changes everything — and three plans to act on it.

01 · The Audit

A summary of what your site, ads, and funnel are actually doing.

The story you've been told — "the advertising stopped working, money down the drain" — is wrong, but it's not exactly right either. The traffic is real and the calls are real. The problem is everything that happens after the click.

Your pages don't pull people in. Your marketing isn't being measured. Your funnel leaks at every stage between visitor and signed contract.

The Site

Pages don't engage.

Service pages average 7 sessions while a single promo page hit 231. Hero areas don't sell, copy reads like a brochure, no proof above the fold, no clear next step. Visitors arrive, scroll, and leave.

The Marketing

Spending blind.

Google Ads runs without conversion tracking. No Local Services Ads. No retargeting. No geo-pages for the suburbs that actually pay. Every dollar optimizes toward "any click" instead of "a homeowner ready to remodel."

The Funnel

Leaks at every stage.

27 of 30 people abandon the contact form. Calls aren't logged. There's no follow-up sequence. No reminder, no nurture, no second touch. A motivated lead today is a forgotten lead tomorrow.

125

Real phone leads

99 first-time calls + 26 repeat. Your bathroom remodeling Google Ads campaign drove 113 sessions with a 62.8% engagement rate — premium quality traffic.

3 / 30

Form submissions

Out of 30 people who started filling out your contact form, only 3 finished it. That's 27 motivated leads abandoning before "submit."

0

Conversions visible

GA4 has zero "key events" configured. Every phone call, every SMS, every form — invisible to you and invisible to Google Ads' optimization.

Traffic Quality Snapshot

Your paid & organic traffic is healthier than average.

Industry benchmark for home services: 35-45% engagement rate.
Your numbers are at the top of the range — meaning more budget would scale linearly.

Paid Search 62.8% engaged
266 sessions · 54s avg time
Organic Search 60.4% engaged
217 sessions · 48s avg time
Direct 30.7% engaged
283 sessions · 28s avg time
Social (Instagram) 34% engaged
53 sessions · untapped potential
02 · The Diagnosis

Three layers of broken plumbing.

01

No conversion tracking

Google Ads is bidding blind. It can't optimize toward leads it doesn't see.

+

GA4 tracks page_view, scroll, and first_time_phone_call automatically — but none are configured as Key Events. Google Ads imports nothing.

The result: every dollar of ad spend optimizes for "anyone who clicks" instead of "people who call." Worse: your reports show $0 ROI because the system doesn't know what success looks like.

Fix: 30 minutes of configuration unlocks 4 months of historical data and 100% of future data.

02

A form that loses 90% of leads

30 people tried to contact you. 27 gave up before pressing submit.

+

10% form completion is catastrophic. Industry standard is 35-50% for high-intent contact forms. Possible causes: too many required fields, no social proof near the form, no auto-response setting expectations, or a technical bug on submit.

At your average ticket size of $20-40k, each abandoned lead represents potential $2-4k in margin. 27 abandoned forms × even 5% close rate = $27k-54k in walked-away revenue over four months.

Fix: 3-field form (name, phone, project type) + instant Telegram alert + auto-response promising a callback in 2 hours.

03

A site you don't own

Your developer wants $8,000 for the platform itself. The site lives on his infrastructure.

+

The current site is built on a proprietary platform. You can't touch the code. Every change goes through one person. The Sucuri firewall blocks all non-US traffic (including any agency you'd hire to audit it). And the day that relationship ends, the website ends.

Beyond ownership: the structure itself can't convert. Service pages get 7 sessions while the standalone /promo-campaign/bathroom-remodeling/ got 231 — proof that conversion-focused page design works, you just have it on one page instead of every page.

Fix: A WordPress site you fully own, with every service page built like that promo page — but better.

03 · Paths Forward

Three problems. Several ways to fix each.

Below — what we'd do, what we wouldn't, and why. Every option is real. Some move the needle, some look productive but don't. The picks are based on what works for home-services businesses in your size and market.

Problem 01 · The Site

Pages that don't pull people in.

What works
  • Rebuild service pages like the promo page that worked. The /promo-campaign/bathroom-remodeling/ page got 231 sessions vs. 7 for a regular service page — same traffic source. The difference is structure: hero with offer, proof, before/after, calculator, single CTA. Apply that layout to all 5 services.
  • Geo-landing pages for paid suburbs. "Bathroom remodeling in Naperville" outranks "Bathroom remodeling Chicago" for high-intent local searches. 25 pages (top 5 suburbs × 5 services) typically lift organic traffic 2-3× in 90 days.
  • Real photography, not stock. Your portfolio is your strongest asset — 26 completed projects. We surface them everywhere: hero carousels, service-page galleries, before/after sliders. Trust without saying "trusted."
  • A site you actually own. WordPress + JetEngine on your hosting, your domain, your code. Any agency on earth can pick it up. No vendor lock.
What doesn't (and why)
  • Throwing money at the existing site. The platform is closed, the firewall blocks audits, the structure can't be repaired without rebuilding. Patches cost more over 12 months than a clean rebuild.
  • A trendy "modern" redesign. Animations, parallax, video backgrounds — they look impressive in demos and tank conversion in the field. Home-services buyers want clarity (price range, timeline, proof, contact) not visual polish.
  • 100 pages "for SEO". Bulk content with no intent behind it now hurts rankings (helpful-content updates). 25 well-built geo-pages outperform 100 thin ones every time.
Problem 02 · The Marketing

Spending without measuring.

What works
  • Conversion tracking first, everything else second. Before changing a campaign, fix the measurement. GA4 Key Events + Google Ads imports + call tracking. Without this, optimization is theatre.
  • Google Local Services Ads (LSA). Pay per lead, not per click. Top of Google. Google-vetted badge. For home services in Chicagoland, LSA typically delivers leads at $40-80 vs. $300+ for Search Ads.
  • Tightly-themed campaigns, one offer per group. Replace one "remodeling" campaign with five service-specific ones, each pointing at a dedicated landing page with a single offer. Quality Score climbs, CPC drops 30-40%.
  • Review velocity, not just review count. 35 reviews is good. 35 reviews with 8 of them in the last 30 days is what Google actually rewards in the Map Pack. Build a request system tied to project completion.
What doesn't (and why)
  • More budget without tracking. Doubling spend on a blind campaign just doubles the waste. Fix the measurement, then turn the volume up.
  • Performance Max as a default. Google's "set it and forget it" mode is great for ecommerce, dangerous for high-ticket services. It optimizes toward cheap clicks, not qualified leads. Search + LSA wins for ADS.
  • Heavy social-media production. Daily Instagram posts feel like marketing but produce <2% of leads in this category. A short, sharp Reels schedule (4/month) earns brand reach without burning the budget.
  • Yelp / HomeAdvisor / Angi packages. Lead quality is poor and the same lead is sold to 3-5 competitors. LSA does the same job better and you keep the relationship.
Problem 03 · The Funnel

Leads that arrive — and disappear.

What works
  • Three-field form, instant ping. Name, phone, project type. Submission triggers a Telegram alert to your phone within 2 seconds and an auto-response to the lead promising a callback today. Completion rate goes from 10% to 35-50%.
  • Speed-to-lead under 5 minutes. Industry data: a lead contacted within 5 minutes is 21× more likely to enter your sales process than one contacted at 30 minutes. The alert + on-call rotation closes that gap.
  • A 5-touch nurture for "not yet" leads. ~70% of homeowners aren't ready to sign on the first call. A short email sequence (case study, financing options, FAQ, seasonal offer, second-look) keeps you in the running for the 3-6 month decision cycle.
  • A simple CRM that the team will actually use. Pipedrive or HubSpot Free — pipeline view, follow-up reminders, lead source tagging. Stops leads from falling through the cracks of a phone's missed-calls list.
What doesn't (and why)
  • Long qualification forms. Asking for budget, timeline, and project scope upfront feels efficient, costs you 60-70% of leads. Qualify on the call, not the form.
  • Chatbots as the first contact. For a $25k decision, people want a human. A chatbot can take a name and route — anything more feels like a wall.
  • Aggressive email cadence. Daily emails to a homeowner researching a remodel earn the unsubscribe, not the contract. Five well-timed touches over 60 days outperform 20 in 14.
The order matters

Funnel first. Site second. Marketing last.

Most agencies sell the marketing first because it's where their margin is. We do it backwards on purpose: a leaky funnel wastes every dollar that lands in it, and a weak site makes even free traffic underperform. Tracking, form, follow-up — those are week one.

Once leads can actually reach you and the site can actually convert, more traffic is a multiplier instead of a refill. That's when ad budget earns its keep.

03 · The Opportunity

With infrastructure fixed,
the same dollars deliver 5–10× more leads.

You're a family business with 15 years of work, 35 five-star reviews, and a free-estimate offer competitors charge for. The only thing missing is the digital infrastructure to turn that into a predictable lead pipeline.
