The Problem
This Indiana-based plumbing company had seen a sharp decline in online visibility and inbound leads due to ineffective marketing from previous companies. In need of a turnaround and fresh momentum, they partnered with our team—experts in digital marketing for home service businesses. We executed a comprehensive SEO strategy, optimized their Local Service Ads for maximum lead generation, and launched a targeted SMS campaign. The result was a significant rebound in online presence and a measurable increase in qualified calls and bookings.
The Challenge
When the client first connected with Lokal Media House in late 2023, they were struggling with bloated digital ad costs, inconsistent lead volume, and agency distrust. The owner had worked with major marketing providers and was spending upwards of $728 per lead with no clear path to scale or profitability.
The Solution
In January 2024, the client partnered with Lokal Media House to overhaul their digital strategy. In addition to generating new leads, a key part of this campaign’s success was tapping into the company’s existing customer base through ServiceTitan. By leveraging this data with targeted SMS campaigns, we reactivated dormant customers and drove over 800 additional appointments in just six months. This not only kept the schedule consistently full but also significantly increased Customer Lifetime Value (LTV)—unlocking over $245,000 in additional revenue without acquiring a single new lead. This approach underscores the power of smart re-engagement strategies and how a well-managed customer database can become one of a contractor’s most profitable marketing channels.
