Flooring Leads – The Best Flooring Leads

Flooring leads are easily obtainable online, much like other contractor leads. It doesn't matter if you are looking for wood, tile, stone or carpet leads...they are all online.

Are you looking for flooring leads? Here’s how to get them…

Flooring leads are easily obtainable online, much like other contractor leads.  It doesn’t matter if you are looking for wood, tile, stone or carpet leads…they are all online.

How do you get flooring leads?

There are a few ways, but the best way is to get your business listed in the Google local business listing.

Google is by far the most used search engine and gets the most traffic to your business.  And unlike pay per click advertising, the local business listing is free and does not cost you money every time someone clicks on your listing.  This is a huge advantage!  Plus, customers can leave reviews on a local business listing, so you can build your businesses credibility over time.

One of the best features is that you don’t even need a website.  If you have one, great! But, you can use a Google business profile page for free.  Just set one up about your business and you are off and running.

Contractor leads are hard to come by if you are not getting any traffic to your offers, so you might want to think about using a service to make sure your listing is on the first page results.  If  it is not, you will likely not get any leads.  But, a first page listing is sure to get calls if there is traffic.

For a company that has been getting guaranteed first page local business listings for well over 10 years, visit Guaranteed Google Listing.  For WAY less than the yellow pages you can be up and running online and getting new contractor leads all the time!

I hope you take advantage of this advice and start getting tons of flooring leads online.


Contractor Leads – How To Get Them

Contractor leads are pretty hard to come by in a tough economy. It' s hard paying for advertising when you often times do not make back your investment. Take a coupon magazine, for example. You pay money depending on how many houses the magazine is going to and wait for the phone to ring off the hook

Contractor leads are pretty hard to come by in a tough economy.  It’ s hard paying for advertising when you often times do not make back your investment.

Take a coupon magazine, for example.  You pay money depending on how many houses the magazine is going to and wait for the phone to ring off the hook…and you get 2 calls and no jobs.  Not a good return on investment!

But with the internet it is different.  People go online and actually search for what your business is offering.  All you have to do is get infront of those people and they will be contacting you for a quote.

But how do you do this?  Well, while getting contractor leads online is easy once you know what you are doing, but there are ways to lose money fast.  PPC can be one of them.  You pay every time someone clicks on your ad.  What if some joker decides to click your ad 10 times? Yep, you just paid for each time!

The best way is with the Google Local Busines Listing.  This is the listings that come up when a regional keyword is searched in Google, such as “Orange County Plumbing Contractors”.  Not only are these results right near the top of the page, but they also showcase your business, your pictures and searchers can even read reviews past customers have left about your business.  It is a GREAT way to connect with new clients.

Getting listed is easy.  You don’t even need a website! You can just use a Google profile page about your business. 

And remember, unlike PPC, with the local business listings customers can click those links all day long and it doesn’t cost you a cent!

Remodeling Marketing – Tips For Online Remodeling Marketing

There are several ways to go about remodeling marketing.  You can do door hangers, flyers, yellow pages, etc., but one of the best ways to handle remodeling marketing is by getting online.

The first way to get leads for remodeling is by getting listing in the Google Local Listings.  These are the results on the left side of Google when someone searches for a regional service.  Examples include: “Orange County Plumber”, “Painting Contractor San Antonio” and “Room Addition Las Vegas, Nevada”.

Not only do these results show up near the top of the page and STAND OUT with a map, but they also drive highly targeted visitors who are ready to hire a professional.  These are the next best contractor leads to word of mouth.

A great thing about getting jobs this way (if you do good work) is that your customers can leave reviews of your work.  Those reviews show up on your Google Listing and will build your credibility as they grow over time.  This generates more and more contractor leads as time goes on.

Imagine searching for a “General Contractor in Los Angeles” and seeing a company right near the top of the page that has 29 good reviews and specializes in exactly what you were looking for…you would call them for an estimate, right? This is the power of remodeling marketing online.  There’s much more information for the consumer than standard print.

Many more people are turning to the internet to find a local contractor each and every year.  With high speed internet make searches lighting fast, the ability to find a great contractor, verify their credentials and read reviews, clients can do much more than with print advertising.

After using UBL on my own website, I “eclipsed” the other local business listings. They all disappeared and my site was the only one left. This is probably a pretty rare case, so don’t expect this. I did use some pretty amazing seo tricks on that site as well… But, you can expect to get listed in all the local search results and be seen by hundreds if not thousands more searchers a year. It’s well worth the $30 price tag.

Add Video To Your Contractor Website For Better Conversions

I get a lot of people asking me if they need a video on their website… Well, you don’t NEED a video on your site, but wouldn’t you want one?

Imagine a site with just text…boring!  Now add some pictures…getting better!  And then a professional looking video to boot?  Perfect.

how to add video to website

Video On A Website

Video connects with your customers on a more personal level and allows you to grasp their attention.  With text, they might just skim over the page, but with video they will be more likely to hear exactly what you want them to.    “Fill out our contact form for a free estimate today” or “Be sure to call and ask about this months special pricing” can be very powerful video marketing tools for greater conversions.

The problem is, you need a professional video for maximum results.  If you have the skills and maybe own a flip cam, go for it! If not, I highly recommend virtual avatars.  You can literally make a professional video and have it up on your website within a few minutes.  You choose the face for the avatar or you can even upload your own picture and it will create an avatar that looks just like you!  How great is this.  People will recognize you when you go on estimates from your avatar and you’ll have already made a good first impression on your website.  You can even record your own voice for the video or use text to speach.  With this option, you just type up what you want the avatar to say, choose the voice and save the video.  It’s very easy.

As you can see by our homepage, we recommend useful products that we actually use.

CLICK HERE to test it out free for 15 days and see if it improves conversions, after that it’s very cheap!
