KEYWORDS?
Lets geek out a bit on the marketing side boys, keywords keywords keywords. To negative keyword or to not negative keyword, that is the question. Lets talk about some good keywords, some bad bleeding keywords (like 'rent" or 'how to') For me 'land clearing' seems to be my biggest spender. Don't see a ton on 'forestry mulching' Google wants to spend our money as fast as possible. Having to fight back The Google from wasting all my money on bad impressions must end!

Well until your ranked top 3 in your service area, google will eat your money, system is stacked against u. Stryker has me set up 6 counties and the 5 largest cities. I am ranking in key words in some counties number 1, but not in map pacs, I am being 10 to 15, way better than 7 weeks ago. I am looking at 3 to 6 months. I have been checking other counties next my 6. I ranking #1 in them also.
Walk through
Good evening all, so I have a walk through tomorrow that’s 2 acres and wooded. The customer wants it cleared for building a pole barn. They are ok with the trees being pushed to an area. They also want the stumps removed and pushed aside as well. My questions are this: would this 3-4 or 4-5 day job? Second, would having a track loader with forestry mulcher, stump bucket, and a grapple work for what needs done? Thanks in advance

@Amanda Morris Stryker, there is alot of companies out that want you to use their website system and you don't own it. Then they don't do any thing with it once website is up. When Stryker builds it for your business you own everything from the start. I will suggest 1 thing make sure u ask for fully built out site with all pages complete done before going live. SPECAILLY LOCATION Pages. They build pages for everything but pick your counties and top 5 cities. Then pick plan your plan, this is not cheap so be prepared your looking 1500 to 2k for website. Then 1200. They have moved me way up very quickly, not so much on Google map pac yet that takes 3 to 6 months. That where you need to rank so your one of the 1st company people see that match your services. If your just starting Facebook ad make more sense. This group gets you a discount on website and I believe monthly. Follow Austin training as he has laid out, if your new to running a business. So things come easy others your not sure. Follow the process! He not just teaching how to run a business, I think this idea gets lost in a lot of the post I read. In your area you can find companies that make a good living or have been there for 10, 20, 30 year the are established. But they maxed out of how far they can grow. That has been my story for 30 years, what he teaching is scaling your business. Which the short definition is grow your business. Not to be just a big fish in a small bowl. More like being a big fish in a ocean. Why I believe this needs to be understood from the beginning. Markets will not change for next 10 to 15 years that much. Changes can turning market up side down. Land clearing will alway be here, but will economy support these large ticket items that we are charging? Will a small company survive vs a large company that can survive the storm. Plus large pay outs, puts you as owner in a better position to survive. If you see thIs as a theme to fast growth. Guy are starting businesses with no equipment, thats crazy to me, but its working. Others were like me just out searching for the next job. They follow the process and their growth crazy productive. Run Facebook ads and get 100k in extra work. The training is get you in correct mind set to grow a business. Then you can afford to pay for the higher group trading to go even higher level. I never seen this in other groups, why Austin has felt to lead in this is above me. That could be the big long term change if he ever gets to the point its to much to keep up with and shuts it down. Learn as much as you can while you can. Realize growth is a not guarantee, but he giving knowledge to tools that worked in the past, currently, and will work in near future. Listen to Jacob and Austin marketing plans, it is re-investing in your company, just like when buy your equipment. The money will come, you will just have to be patient. Also if you follow the process, he's built in that your getting paid and not under cutting the market prices

@Phillip Elliott but what does not do anything, unless your constantly loading content pages and refreshing everything. Plus you have to build back links. This were Austin just scrap his all in one program to constentrate on build his business. If great at running your own website or great running business? You can save a few dollars I agree but how long will take you to drive traffic and work bugs out. Make a 6 month commitment to let them take to the top and then turn it off if you really think you can do better. Nothing is ever as simple a copy and paste. If like being a computer geek and you enjoy that stuff great. But if the goal is to grow a business, build your Facebook ads. Get work! Spend more on advertising and get more work, spend more advertising, expand your business including a website. Then go back to what got you here, and let website do its thing. It like buying anymore equipment is just a shiny thing for me. I can find 20 to 30k a month 7 to 10 of work. I want 22 days plus with 3 crews. I want the 200k month back to back. Not to become rich, but to leave something behind bigger than me. Also if your in the middle of a project with Claude and you have reached your limit it shuts down for hours or a day. What if u need something now? And I love it and I still use it but start using Gemini more it never locks u out. That like having a skid steer runs when it wants to. Does not much sense.
First Job
Being my first job ever in this new venture was definitely packed full of life lessons and even though a lot of things went wrong, staying positive and learning from the mistakes will only make me a better operator and owner.

First Fence line quote
Any tips on fence line quotes, for a church, about an acre. They want limbs done too and lots of rocks lol. I was thinking polesaw for a day and stack it for the mulcher to show up and take down the pile and have got the rocks outta the way from the polesawing and stacking. Thoughts? I kinda am at 4000 for 2 days mulching 1 day polesawing. Im still renting so my biggest expense is the mulcher for 1000 a day.
