Frequently asked questions
How quickly can I see new garage door leads from these tactics?
If you ship the 5 plays below this week, expect first incremental leads inside 7–14 days. The full lift compounds over 30–60 days as reviews, GBP activity, and retargeting audiences mature.
What's a realistic monthly lead lift?
Mid-market garage door shops adding all five plays typically see 25–60% more qualified leads within 90 days at similar or lower cost per lead. Bigger lifts when starting from a thin baseline (no LSAs, no review cadence, no retargeting).
Do I need an agency to run these?
No. Each of the five plays is small enough for an in-house office manager or marketing coordinator to ship in a week with templates. That's the entire premise of the Insourced Marketing Blueprint™ — train your team to own this system instead of renting it from an agency.
What's the most common mistake when running these plays?
Not training techs to upsell installs at the truck. The plays below assume you've avoided that trap — if you haven't, fix it first or you'll waste the lift.
