Very Good Marketing Co. — You run your business. We'll help you grow it.

How we help

You do the work you're good at. We'll handle the marketing.

You don't have to read this page and pick something. That's backwards, and it's how a lot of people end up paying for marketing they didn't need.

Here's what the work looks like, and which plan includes what. Prices are on the pricing page.

Where good jobs quietly get lost

Between somebody needing your service and you getting hired, there are six places a customer can slip away. Everything we do is aimed at one of these steps.

  1. Step 1

    Somebody searches for your service

    Can they find you?

  2. Step 2

    They see your business

    Do they trust you enough to call?

  3. Step 3

    They visit your website

    Is it easy to contact you?

  4. Step 4

    They call or send a form

    How quickly does somebody respond?

  5. Step 5

    They ask for an estimate

    Does anybody follow up?

  6. Step 6

    They hire you

    Are you turning them into reviews and referrals?

Six places to lose the job. Most businesses are losing them in two or three.

The tricky part is that it is almost never the step you would guess. Plenty of owners are sure they need a new website when the real problem is that nobody answers the phone at 4:45 on a Friday. More marketing is not always the answer. Sometimes you just need to fix what happens to the leads you already have.

Get found by more customers

Website, Google Business Profile, reviews, social media, SEO + AEO

Most people who need a roofer or a plumber do the same thing. They pull out a phone, search, glance at the top few results, and call one. If you are not in that handful, the job was decided before anyone saw your work.

Then they look you over. Is the website clear and easy to use on a phone? Does the Google profile have photos and recent reviews? A homeowner comparing two companies they have never heard of usually goes with the one other people vouched for.

Every plan includes a professional website you own, a Google Business Profile that is set up properly and kept active, review requests after the job, and regular social posts. Marketing Partner adds full local SEO and AEO, so more people find you through Google and AI-assisted search.

How long until I show up better on Google?

Google Business Profile fixes can help within a few weeks. Busy markets and competitive work take longer, usually a few months of steady work. Anyone promising page one next week is selling you something else.

What is AEO?

Answer Engine Optimization. More homeowners now ask AI tools and Google's AI answers for recommendations. AEO means writing clear, helpful answers to the questions people ask and structuring your site so those tools can understand it. Like SEO, nobody can guarantee where you will show up.

Who owns the website?

You do, from day one, with no buyout fee. While your plan is active we host and maintain it. If you ever leave, we will transfer it to you at no charge.

What that actually means

  • A professional website you own, fast on phones, with your number always within reach
  • Real photos of your work instead of stock images, whenever you have them
  • Your Google Business Profile with the right categories, services, and service areas
  • Review requests that go out after the job, with one polite reminder
  • Regular Facebook, Instagram, and Google posts so you never look inactive
  • SEO + AEO on Marketing Partner: helpful answers to the questions homeowners ask

What each plan includes

Local Presence
Website, Google Business Profile, review requests, and 4 social posts a month
Customer Growth
Everything in Local Presence
Marketing Partner
Adds local SEO + AEO, a new content piece each month, 8 social posts a month, and website conversion improvements

Get more qualified leads

Google Ads, Local Services Ads, Facebook and Instagram ads, landing pages

Ads are the fastest way to get in front of homeowners who need your service right now. Somebody searches "roof leak repair" and you are one of the first names they see.

Done wrong, ads are also the fastest way to burn money. Most accounts we look at are paying for clicks from the wrong towns, the wrong jobs, and people shopping for something the business does not even do.

On Customer Growth and Marketing Partner we manage Google Search Ads, Google Local Services Ads for eligible businesses, and Facebook and Instagram ads. We only turn on the platforms that make sense for your business and budget, send people to a landing page built to get the call, and keep watching what each lead costs you.

How much should I spend on ads?

There is no set minimum. It depends on your trade, your area, and what a job is worth to you. We work that out with you before you spend anything. If the numbers do not make sense, we will tell you.

Does my ad money go through you?

No. You pay Google and Meta directly, so you see every dollar. Our monthly fee covers managing the ads. It is not a cut of your ad spend.

What if ads are not the answer for me?

Then we will say so. Spending more on ads when the leads you already get are going unanswered is one of the most common expensive mistakes we see.

What that actually means

  • Google Search Ads aimed at the jobs you actually want
  • Google Local Services Ads (the "Google Guaranteed" ads) when you are eligible
  • Facebook and Instagram ads, with up to four new or refreshed ad designs a month
  • Blocking the searches that waste money before they cost you
  • A dedicated landing page with forms and call tracking
  • Budget recommendations based on what a new customer is worth to you

What each plan includes

Local Presence
Not included. Paid advertising starts with Customer Growth.
Customer Growth
Google Search Ads, Local Services Ads when eligible, Facebook and Instagram ads, and a campaign landing page

Spend less time dealing with unwanted calls

AI call screening, instant lead texts, missed-call text back, lead tracking

Your phone rings all day, and a lot of those calls are not customers. Somebody selling SEO. A "Google listing" scam. Robocalls. Every one pulls you off a job, and the real customer who calls while you are on a roof still gets your voicemail.

On Customer Growth and Marketing Partner, an AI receptionist answers calls to your published business number first. It screens out sales and spam calls, picks out real customer inquiries, and collects the caller's name, number, the service they need, where they are, and how urgent it is.

You get a text right away for every real inquiry, so you can call back when you are free instead of when the phone happens to ring. The customer gets a confirmation text when they have agreed to receive texts, and anyone who hangs up gets a text back. Every lead lands in a simple tracker so nothing gets lost.

It is good at telling customers from salespeople, but no screening is perfect. That is why every inquiry that looks real is texted to you, and we review how it is handling calls and adjust it over time.

Is a robot answering my phone?

On your published business line, yes. That is the point. It screens out the calls you do not want and takes down the details from the ones you do. It does not quote prices or book jobs. That stays with you.

Will it transfer real customers to me live?

Not by default. Most owners we work with would rather call back between jobs than get interrupted on a roof. You get a text right away with everything you need to call back.

Does it replace my personal phone number?

No. It answers a dedicated business number that we publish on your website, Google profile, and ads. Your personal cell keeps working the way it does today, and calls made directly to it aren't screened.

Will I get billed per minute?

No. Normal AI answering, call handling, and texting are included in your plan. If usage is ever far outside normal, we will talk first, and any added charge needs your approval.

What that actually means

  • An AI receptionist that answers your published business number
  • Sales and spam calls screened out before they reach you
  • Name, number, service needed, location, and urgency collected from real customers
  • A text to you right away for every real inquiry
  • Missed-call text back, without duplicate messages
  • A simple lead tracker: New, Contacted, Estimate Scheduled, Won, and Lost

What each plan includes

Local Presence
Contact forms and click-to-call on your website. AI call screening is not included.
Customer Growth
AI call screening, instant lead texts, missed-call text back, and a simple lead tracker

Know what's actually working

Plain-English reports, lead tracking, strategy calls, revenue and ROI reporting

A lot of owners have paid a marketing company and never really known what they got for it. A report full of impressions and engagement rates does not tell you whether the phone rang.

We report on the things you care about: calls, leads, estimates, jobs, and what they cost. If a number does not help you make a decision, it does not go in the report.

Every plan includes a monthly report and a regular check-in with me. Customer Growth adds call and form tracking, a lead tracker, and a monthly strategy call. Marketing Partner adds revenue and return-on-ad-spend reporting, so you can see what your marketing is producing in dollars wherever it can be measured.

What does a report look like?

Plain English. Where your leads came from, what you spent, and what it produced. Short enough to read between jobs.

Can you tell me exactly how much revenue my marketing made?

Sometimes. When you mark which leads turned into jobs and what they were worth, we can connect spending to revenue. Some things, like a homeowner who saw your truck and then your Google profile, cannot be tracked perfectly. We will always be upfront about what the numbers can and cannot tell you.

What that actually means

  • Where your leads came from
  • What you spent, and what each lead cost
  • Estimates booked and jobs won, when you mark them in the tracker
  • Honest notes on what is working, what is not, and what we are changing
  • Revenue and return on ad spend on Marketing Partner, with clear limits on what can be tracked

What each plan includes

Local Presence
A simple monthly report and a 15-minute check-in every quarter
Customer Growth
Monthly reporting, call and form tracking, and a 20 to 30 minute strategy call each month
Marketing Partner
Revenue and ROI reporting, a 45 to 60 minute strategy meeting each month, and quarterly growth planning

So how do we work out what you need?

The same way every time. You don't have to prepare anything or know any marketing terms.

  1. We get to know your business

    We'll have a conversation about your business, the customers you want more of, what's working today, and what's frustrating you.

    No sales pitch. Just a conversation.

  2. We make a plan that makes sense

    We'll look at your current marketing and recommend what we believe will make the biggest difference.

    If something is already working, we're not going to tell you to replace it just to sell you another service.

  3. We take care of the marketing

    From your website and Google presence to advertising and lead management, we handle the work we've agreed on.

    You keep running your business. We keep your marketing moving forward.

  4. We show you the results and keep improving

    You'll know what we're doing, what you're spending, and what results you're getting.

    We'll talk regularly, make adjustments, and help you make smart decisions about what's next.

Not sure which of these you need?

That's exactly the right reason to call. Tell me what's happening with your business and we'll figure it out together.
