Marketing Case Studies
Service Allies has experience getting results for a variety of home improvement companies. Here are some of their results.
Pennsylvania Paving Company
This Pennsylvania paving company was looking for a way to utilize Facebook and Instagram Ads to grow their business, so they signed up with Service Allies in March of 2023. Since that time, their ads have been seen 763,003 times by 166,513 people. They've received over 450 leads. Their average ticket is between $2,000 to $6,000, and I was recently informed their booking rate is 90-95% and close rate is 70%!
High-End Illinois Remodeler
This Illinois remodeler stopped using their other marketing sources after signing on with Service Allies' marketing program. The last reported figure was $750,000 in revenue from Service Allies leads. This remodeler still has several deals in the pipeline, and 150+ leads to follow up with!
Orlando Restoration Contractors
A group of restoration contractors in Orlando, Florida hired Service Allies to do their marketing in December of 2021. Since that time, they've received 957 prospects from their Service Allies marketing campaigns!
Pennsylvania Basement Finish Company
A specialized Pennsylvania basement-finish company was looking for a supplemental marketing source to help them get more leads. We set up their CRM, trained their team, and generated basement leads that resulted in over $470,000 in basement project sales alone!
Who This Marketing Program is For
Our marketing program is geared towards high-ticket home improvement companies like remodelers, pavers, fencing companies, etc.
Since homeowners take time to think about these items, it gives us a large time window to get in front of them with Facebook ads. This makes Facebook ads a very powerful and cost effective way to market these types of services.
Here are some examples of the types of companies we work with.
- Remodeling
- Cabinets
- Restoration
- Fencing
- Paving
- Pergolas
- Garage Doors
- Landscaping
- Decks
- Painting
- Foundations
How Our Marketing Works
We Run Facebook & Instagram Ads
We set up Facebook & Instagram ads to reach homeowners who are looking for home improvement services. We advertise for the types of projects you’re looking for and control the messaging to attract high quality leads.
We Prime Leads with a Sales Video
We record a sales video on behalf of your company to give customers more confidence in moving forward with you. This gives them a more personal connection with your company and gives us a chance to set expectations. This additional nurturing step improves lead quality and helps you turn more leads into paying customers.
Automatic Emails & Texts
Using the Service Allies CRM (Customer Relationship Management) tool, we’ll send automatic emails and texts to your leads. This automatic engagement gives you another touchpoint to connect with your leads. Furthermore, using our CRM, we can send you and your team new lead notifications so that you can respond as quickly as possible. Alternatively, if you already have your own CRM, we can push new leads into it automatically.

Types of Marketing for Home Improvement Companies
What’s the right marketing strategy for your business? Here are a few options along with their pros and cons.
Please note that Service Allies only provides paid Facebook & Instagram ads services, which is responsible for the results in the case studies mentioned above. However, if you also need a website, SEO, or other services, there are a lot of good companies who will be glad to help.
Website Design
Websites are a great way to showcase your work and demonstrate that you’re a trustworthy, experienced home improvement company. However, a new website alone won’t produce leads. You need a source of traffic to get prospects to see your website in the first place.
SEO
SEO is a powerful strategy to get high quality home improvement leads. That being said, it can take 3-12 months to start getting leads from SEO efforts, even if you have a competent SEO company.
Social Media Marketing
Posting on your personal social media profile and in community groups can help you get a few free leads when you start your business. And creating a business page will help you share your work and demonstrate that you’re a thriving business. But it takes a long time to build a social media following big enough to regularly produce leads on a monthly basis.
Paid Facebook &Instagram Ads
Paid Facebook & Instagram Ads allow you to get in front of thousands of homeowners immediately. That’s why you can get leads right away. Since there’s no waiting period for your ad to get so much traffic, a well-constructed ad will get a small percentage of homeowners to raise their hand for home improvement services. Writing, managing, and targeting these well-constructed ads is what Service Allies specializes in.
Exclusive Lead Companies
There are several companies out there who provide exclusive leads. These companies advertise their own brand, and send those leads to one contractor only within a designated area, or employ a round-robin approach to make sure only one contractor gets the leads. Since they already have established lead systems, they can start getting leads immediately. However, these services don’t give you the chance to grow your reputation by advertising your own business.
Shared Lead Companies
Shared lead platforms get homeowners to reach out to them and sell that homeowner’s information to several different contractors that they work with in the area. While you can start getting leads right away, it may be difficult to compete for them. You also won’t have the opportunity to grow your own brand.
Why it Works
Industry Focus
Our focus on home improvement companies and our understanding of the industry gives Service Allies a leading edge in advertising effectively. We understand how to reach homeowners, connect with them, and drive high-ticket sales.
Advertising Specialty
Rather than being spread too thin between branding, websites, SEO, Social Media, and other services, we make our time and effort count by being laser-focused on our own specialized marketing program. After generating over $23,000,000 in home improvement sales with this program, I have a rare level of experience and confidence to get results.
Geared Towards Results
Results drive our decision making as we manage your ad campaigns. We look at your sold projects to see which ad campaign, ad set, and image was responsible for that sale. This informs what we say in the ads and what images we use. By keeping our eyes on the numbers, we’re able to manage your ad spend wisely and gear the budget towards what’s actually working.
Proactive Involvement
We carefully monitor all of our client accounts by reviewing ad campaign results on a twice-per-week basis. This diligence allows us to quickly make adjustments when leads begin to taper off to keep your ad campaigns pumping out fresh leads.
An All-in-One Solution
We offer an all-in-one solution to help you get leads, nurture them, and turn them into paying customers. Here’s what our system includes.
Lead Generation
We set up and manage ads that are designed to pull in the types of projects you’re looking for. For our average client, we typically get about 20-60 leads each month. This is a completely done-for-you service that doesn’t require your active involvement.
Lead Nurturing
We set up automatic emails and texts that serve as auto responders and appointment reminders. This nurturing helps keep your leads engaged, recognize you when you call, and be ready when it’s time for your sales appointment. Most importantly, it increases the average lead quality and your likelihood of selling the project!
Appointment Setter Training
When leads aren’t handled well, you can’t expect to make sales. We help solve this problem by training you and your team how to call leads, follow-up, and set appointments. This will give you the knowledge and tools you need to make the most out of all the sales opportunities you get.
Build Your Reputation
Build your reputation by immediately getting your ads in front of 10,000+ people every month. These ads can include pictures of your work, pictures of your team, or shining reviews your customers have given you. Also, using our CRM system, you’ll be able to generate reviews by sending out review requests.
Get Leads Right Away
Since Facebook & Instagram ads allow you to get in front of so many eyeballs so quickly, you won’t have to wait long to start seeing results and giving estimates on real projects. In the 5 year history of this ads program, leads have always started coming in within 1-3 days.
Track Your Return on Investment
It’s important to know what results you’re getting from your marketing efforts. Our CRM system allows you to not only manage your leads and set appointments, but quickly track your ROI. All the leads that we generate are automatically ported into the CRM and tagged, so you’ll know they came from us. This will help you see precisely how much revenue you’ve generated from Service Allies leads.
Appointment Setter Training
To get the best results out of your marketing, it’s important to follow up with leads on a consistent basis, have confidence when you call them, and to try a few different approaches. Tracking your leads also helps you prioritize your efforts.
Since marketed home improvement leads are never as easy to book and sell as referrals, they aren’t something that you can put on the back burner and expect results to magically happen. It takes attention and effort.
That’s why along with our program we include appointment setter training, for either you or your staff, to know how to get ahold of, qualify, and schedule sales appointments with our home improvement leads.
Getting Started
Interested in getting started with Service Allies? Here's what the process looks like.

3. Launch Call
7 days after onboarding, we’ll launch your ads. On the day we launch, we’ll also have a launch call to train you and your team on a few aspects of the program. Leads will start coming in within 1-3 days after launch.
Why Service Allies?
Specialization
Service Allies specializes in helping home improvers get leads and turn those leads into revenue. Rather than being spread thin between industries and services, our laser-focus allows us to be exceptional at what we do.
Track Record
The owner, Peter, has personally worked with home improvement companies on their advertising efforts for 5 years. Him and his teams have helped generate over $23,000,000 for home improvement contractors.
Approach
We offer a proactive approach to marketing that focuses on what gets you results. Also, we run ads that are professional, honest, and get the point across without being pushy. We don't engage in deceptive or high-pressure advertising tactics.
Flexibility
Since we specialize in paid social media ads only, our program can be run alongside any other marketing you're doing. In fact, it will compliment it. You won't need to rebuild your website or switch all your marketing services over to us. You can add us right into the mix.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do you charge?
You will have two separate costs. The first cost is ad spend, which Facebook will bill you directly for. I typically recommend a monthly budget of $1000 - $2000 to start. Since the average lead cost is $50 in ad spend per lead, this should get you roughly between 20-40 leads monthly. If you need more or less, we can adjust advertising spend as you need. The second cost is our agency fees, which are only available on a live demo call.
Are these leads good quality?
In the vast majority of cases, yes. To a large extent, however, the amount of leads you book will depend on the amount of effort you put into following up with them.
How long does it take to start working?
When a new client signs up, we start with an onboarding call, and launch 7 days later. Over the past 5 years I’ve run this lead generation program, I’ve never seen it take longer than 2-3 days after launch to start getting leads.
How many people are you working with in my market?
We only serve one contractor in a local market. Even if you are part of a large metro area, we’ll single out an exclusive zone just for you. We still have a relatively small client base at the time of writing, so there is a good chance your market is still available. However, the sooner you reach out the better.
How many contractors are going to get the leads?
Just you. Facebook ads will be shown under your business name, and all the generated leads will be exclusively yours.
What if I'm not on Facebook or don't have a business page?
No problem. It's fairly simple to set up a Facebook business page, so we can do this for you at no extra charge. Also, don't worry if your current Facebook page doesn't have many likes. It doesn't seem to affect the volume or quality of leads at all.
How do you get the leads?
We get leads by running ads on Facebook. Ads are like Facebook posts, except you pay Facebook to show your ad to a specific local area and demographic. If you currently don’t use Facebook, or don’t have a Facebook page, that is no problem. We’ll set up a page on your behalf to run ads from.
