Lead generation for small business

243 leads in 30 days for a contractor. Leads you can actually call.

Not impressions, not reach, not followers. Enquiries from people in your area who want what you sell, delivered fast enough to still be warm when you phone them. And if it turns out you already have enough leads, we will tell you that instead of selling you more.

What this looks like in practice

Four businesses, four numbers

These are ordinary businesses rather than national brands, which is the point. The work is the same shape every time.

Riverland Homes

243 contractor leads in 30 days.

  • Local intent targeting rather than broad reach buying
  • Follow up automated so nothing sat unworked
  • Measured in leads delivered, not impressions bought

Palisade Fence

45% of all sales came from the work.

  • Share of the whole business, not a campaign metric
  • Built on a single channel done properly
  • Sustained rather than a one month spike

Planet Stone

1,249% growth in search visibility.

  • A granite company in a competitive regional market
  • Organic, so it kept working without ongoing media spend
  • Local search and content rather than paid volume

University of Rhode Island

44% reduction in cost per lead.

  • Same budget, far more enquiries
  • Targeting rebuilt around intent rather than demographics
  • Efficiency gains show inside one flight
How it works

Four steps, in this order, every time

Most owners start at step three. Starting there is why the money usually disappears.

1

Make you findable and contactable

Accurate location data, reviews, and a phone number and form that work on a phone. Unglamorous, cheap, and the highest return work in local marketing.

2

Fix the follow up first

For roughly half the businesses we audit, the leads already exist and go cold before anyone calls. We fix that before spending a dollar on new traffic.

3

Buy demand narrowly

Paid advertising aimed at people in your area with the intent to buy, measured on cost per lead rather than on clicks or reach.

4

Build what keeps working

Pages answering the questions buyers ask before they call. Slower than ads and still there after you stop paying.

Questions

Common questions from small business owners

How do I get more leads for my small business online?

Three things in order, and most owners do them in the wrong order. First, make sure someone searching for what you sell in your area can find and contact you in under a minute, which is location data, reviews and a phone number that works on a phone. Second, answer the questions buyers actually ask before they call. Third, follow up fast, because for most small businesses the leads already exist and are dying between arriving and being called.

What does small business lead generation cost?

Retainers usually run $2,000 to $10,000 a month before ad spend, and what matters more than the fee is the cost per lead it produces. We have generated contractor leads at scale, 243 in 30 days for Riverland Homes, and new patient leads at $5.22 each. We will tell you our number on the first call, and if your budget is too small to produce a result we will say so rather than spend it slowly.

How fast will I see leads?

Paid advertising can produce leads within days and a reliable cost per lead within four to six weeks. Local search and reviews take longer but keep working after you stop paying. Riverland Homes saw 243 contractor leads inside 30 days. Anyone promising a specific number in a specific week before seeing your market is guessing.

Do you work with B2C businesses?

Most of this work is consumer facing: home services, healthcare, hospitality, restaurants, fitness and retail. Palisade Fence reached the point where 45% of all sales came from what we built. The University of Rhode Island cut cost per lead 44%. Consumer lead generation lives or dies on speed of response, which is why follow up is part of the service rather than your problem after delivery.

What if I already get leads and they do not convert?

Then more traffic makes the problem more expensive, and we would rather fix the leak first. For roughly half the accounts we audit that is the real finding. AllState converted 47.73% of worked leads once follow up became a system rather than a good intention. We use LeadChaser to work enquiries that have gone quiet, on a schedule tied to the buying window rather than a campaign calendar.

Do I need to be in New York to work with you?

No. We are at 1178 Broadway #508 in Manhattan and work with small businesses across the United States. If you are in the city, our NYC small business page has local results. If you sell to other businesses rather than consumers, B2B lead generation is the better fit.
