Not every marketing agency is built for home services. Here's how to find out before you sign anything. 🔍

3 questions every contractor should ask:

1️⃣ "Do you have other home service clients?"
If they've never marketed a plumber, roofer, or HVAC company — you'll be their experiment.

2️⃣ "What does success look like in 90 days?"
Vague answers = vague results. You want specific metrics: calls, rankings, leads — not "brand awareness."

3️⃣ "Who do I contact when I have a question?"
If the answer isn't a name, watch out. You shouldn't be chasing down your own marketing team.

At Up Our Alley Marketing, we work specifically with home service businesses in Northern Colorado. We tell you exactly what we're building, why, and what it should produce.

Not the right fit? We'll tell you that too.

The busiest contractors in Northern Colorado are the ones most likely to stop marketing. 🚨

Sound familiar?

Summer hits. You're slammed. Phone's ringing. No time to post, no time to follow up, barely time to breathe.

Then October comes.

The phone gets quiet. Leads dry up. And now you're scrambling — starting from scratch — to rebuild the momentum you lost during the summer.

This is the number one growth killer for home service businesses in Northern Colorado.

The fix isn't more hustle in the slow season. It's building a system that runs while you're working — so visibility never stops, leads keep coming, and you're not starting over every fall.

Want to break the cycle? That's exactly what we help with.

Most contractors give up on marketing right before it starts working. 📈

Here's what I see all the time:

A business owner posts for 6 weeks, gets a few likes, no calls, and decides that "marketing doesn't work."

What actually happened:
Weeks 1–4: Almost nothing. The algorithm doesn't know you yet.
Weeks 5–8: A little traction. People are starting to recognize the name.
Weeks 9–12: Someone calls and says, "I've been following you for a while."
Week 13+: It compounds. Trust builds. Rankings improve. Referrals increase.

The businesses winning in Greeley, Fort Collins, Loveland, and Windsor aren't doing more — they're doing it longer.

Consistency is the strategy.

We help home service businesses stay consistent — even when they're too busy to think about it.

One bad review can cost you 30 new customers. 📊

That's not a guess. That's how homeowners make decisions.

Here's the review math:

⭐ 93% of consumers read reviews before hiring a home service provider
📉 A business with a 3-star average loses most potential customers vs. a 4.5-star
💬 An unanswered negative review signals: "they don't care"

The flip side? One great review, properly responded to, builds trust with dozens of people who never said a word.

Reviews aren't just feedback. They're your best sales tool — or your biggest liability.

Are you actively asking for reviews after every job? If not, let's talk.

The most expensive marketing mistake isn't spending too much. It's spending nothing. 💸

Here's what doing nothing actually costs:

📉 Lost visibility to competitors who ARE showing up on Google
❌ Leads going to businesses with stronger reviews and better profiles
🔄 A referral cycle that eventually slows down on its own
🔇 Silence from past customers who would have referred you — if you'd stayed in touch

Marketing isn't a cost. It's what decides whether your business is still growing in 3 years.

The contractors who built something real in Northern Colorado didn't get lucky. They made a decision to be visible — consistently — even when business was good.

You don't have to do it all at once. But you do have to start.

Before you spend a dollar on ads, check these 5 things on your Google Business Profile. ✅

Most Northern Colorado contractors are leaving free leads on the table because of simple gaps.

Here's what to look for:

1️⃣ Is your business category correct? (Specific = better rankings)
2️⃣ Have you responded to every review — good and bad?
3️⃣ Are your photos current, real, and showing your actual work?
4️⃣ Are your hours accurate for every season?
5️⃣ Have you posted an update in the last 7 days?

If you said no to more than two of these, your profile is leaving money on the table.

Your Google Business Profile is often the first thing a homeowner sees. Make it count.

Your website has one job. Is it doing it? 💻

For home service businesses, a website isn't a digital brochure. It's supposed to turn visitors into calls.

Ask yourself:
❓ Does someone know what you do and where you serve within 5 seconds?
❓ Is your phone number visible without scrolling?
❓ Is there a form that takes less than 60 seconds to fill out?
❓ Does it load fast on a phone? (Over 60% of searches are mobile)
❓ Does it show real photos of your work — not stock images?

Most contractor websites fail at least 3 of these.

If your site is sending people away instead of turning them into leads, everything else you're doing to drive traffic is working against you.

We review contractor websites for free. Reach out and we'll tell you exactly what's holding yours back.

Word of mouth is great — until it's your only source of business. 🤝

Here's the problem with running a referral-only operation:

🎢 Income is unpredictable — feast or famine, every single year
📉 You have zero control over when leads come in
🧍 You're dependent on other people's conversations
🔴 When your best referral source slows down, so does your business

Referrals should be part of your strategy. They shouldn't be all of it.

The contractors who sleep well at night have leads coming from multiple directions — Google, their reputation, their follow-up system, and yes, referrals too.

If your business would struggle without the next referral, it might be time for a real conversation.

Before a homeowner picks up the phone, here's what they already know about you. 🔍

1. They Googled your service + city
2. They checked your Google rating
3. They read your 3 most recent reviews
4. They looked at your photos
5. They visited your website for about 15 seconds
6. Then they decided — call, or keep scrolling

That entire process takes less than 3 minutes.

If your rating is under 4.5, your photos are outdated, your website loads slow, or your last review is 6 months old — they moved on before they ever dialed.

The contractors winning in Greeley, Fort Collins, and Loveland aren't just good at their trade. They've made sure every step of that 3-minute window works in their favor.

How does yours hold up? Drop a ✅ if you're confident — or a 🔥 if it needs some work.

If it takes more than 5 minutes to respond to a new lead, you've probably already lost them. 📞

Here's what the data shows:
⏱️ The odds of reaching a lead drop dramatically after the first hour
❌ 78% of customers hire the business that responds first
🔄 Most contractors follow up once — maybe twice — and move on

Homeowners don't wait. They call the next number on the list.

The good news? This is one of the easiest problems to fix. And fixing it alone can change your close rate overnight.
