Over the years I've found it really hard to get contractors to record their own videos for YouTube. However, with YouTube owned by Google, it's no surprise that videos do VERY WELL getting shown on page 1 when people type things like "driveway paving near me", or "garage door repair help". And they get watched! (even more if it's someone talking) People feel a connection with you, it increases trust, and turns into a phone call... especially if the video ends with "need help with your garage door? Give me a call at 312 560-u812!" They. Just. Get. Shown on page 1! (especially if you're smart with keywords etc) Would it be valuable to any of you if we provided this as a service? For example, we create and post a video per week of you actually talking on a roof, in a basement, etc.. It can actually look like YOU... but not be recorded by you, lol. (AI can do it once I have a model saved) This would most certainly get you calls... and a video on YouTube lasts forever! So after a year there are 50 of them etc.. Maybe we could do a test?

I built a basement waterproofing website less than 2 weeks ago, and it got a phone call already TODAY from organic rankings on page 1. (no ads, just pure google ranking). That's damn fast! I have also built 14 other similar websites in the last 10 or so days... all to get JOBS for contractors. We had a team meeting this morning where I went through the details, and I attached the video below. It's about sales/selling, but also breaks down the strategy. You may want to build these for yourself, or I can build them for you as well. These are built in around an hour, entirely using ai! If you want to learn to build these, either to rank and sell the leads, OR for leads for your own business, post below... or join our marketer group at aisprinkled.com/join and ask. I've done SEO since 2012, and it all comes down to a template and strategy. And... as an agency we're starting to sell these leads exclusively to contractors... and unlike some, there's no sharing of leads. If you claim a site, you get ALL the leads, they're not shared with 4 others. If you want info about getting some sites for yourself... go to aisprinkled.com/getleads .

Hey everyone! Glad to be part of this group. A bit about me I help businesses grow through creator/influencer partnerships on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. For contractors and local service businesses, this usually looks like local creators doing before/after project videos, walkthroughs, or "day in the life" style content that builds trust and gets your work in front of the right local audience — way more effective than a generic ad for this kind of business. I handle the whole process: finding the right local creators, negotiating rates, and managing the collaboration from start to finish. Looking forward to learning from everyone here, and happy to chat if anyone's curious about using content/creators to bring in more leads.

Questions-- "do you guys ever go back and call leads from like a month ago or is that a waste of time" Answer -- Yes — and skipping this is one of the most common mistakes I see. If you've graduated to having a dialer, someone should always be mixing old data into the fresh stuff — people who weren't interested the first time and haven't DNC'd. Stay compliant, but those leads should absolutely get rehashed. Here's the reality: most teams don't call enough, period. They don't bang the phones, and they don't follow up consistently. And a lot of the time the lead was interested — it just wasn't the exact moment they were ready to sit down or buy. Stay consistent and you catch those people when the timing turns. You already paid for those leads. Every deal you pull out of old data drives your CAC down across every source you buy from. It's the cheapest revenue in your whole operation.

Something I’ve noticed after working with business owners across different industries is that the ones who eventually build something sustainable usually have one thing in common: They genuinely care about what they’re building. They care about their customers. They care about their reputation. They care about their team. And they care about getting the business right. But caring about the business doesn’t mean you should be the person handling every follow-up, admin task, customer message, or operational detail. That’s where a lot of good businesses get stuck. The owner becomes the person everyone depends on, even when systems and automation are already in place. I’ve always believed the right support isn’t about finding someone to simply “do tasks.” It’s about finding someone who can take ownership of the work and treat the business with the same level of care. Whether you’re building an eCom brand, growing a service business, or using AI to scale your operations, that human execution layer still matters. Systems create leverage. The right people make that leverage actually work. 💯
