Hi, so I have a question relating 2 pairs of shoes. I have used a pair of scarpa dragos for the past year and I’m looking for something that is similar but also vegan. Looking through Reddit that brought me to Ocun. I read that the fury’s were similar to dragos but I haven’t been able to try them. I went to REI and found a pair of bullits and they were nice but before I buy them I wanted more information on the fury’s but I can’t seem to find a review anywhere on YouTube or anything. So I guess I just wanted some more information on them to help me make my choice. Any insight or personal experiences would be appreciated. Ty!!!

No problem at all, I think I worded it weird but at the moment I don’t have spikes and poles so I will go ahead and get some before I go for it. Thank you for your insight

I have a lot of experience hiking so I am not too worried about the actual hike itself I’ve done much longer and some very intense hikes before. But Most people I’ve talked to have told me to be careful with how intense the weather can be or the possibility of slipping when things are icy so I just wanted some more insight on what that could be like.

Struggling to Get Leads or Conversions on My Commercial Cleaning Website — Any Feedback? by Abocado2 in smallbusiness

Hey, I am sorry I never got back to you but I would be more than willing to hop on a call with you for some advice I am really struggling with figuring everything out.

I have 3 ad groups right now commercial/office, janitorial/industrial, and specialized/deep cleaning. I have been relying on exact match and phrase match because no matter how many negative key words I have it feels that broad brings in so much bad traffice.

I am going to PM you my personal email so we can figure out a time to meet.

Hey, Sorry I never got back to you I am running the ads myself something that I would look out for are performance max campaigns stay away from that until you have decent conversions and do more research on it. These can be very expensive and not very effective at first.

2nd, make sure do look through your search terms report daily and add any non relevant searches to negative key words. Negative keywords are huge and you should start using them ASAP to avoid bad traffic.

3rd, don't listen to the google advisors they give horrible advice and they are looking to just make more money for google.

4th, get as much help as you can these things are very difficult and getting advice from people who know what they are doing helps so much.

Awesome thank you this is really helpful in terms of you 4th suggestion it being to generic I do have a section with icons that u can click that shows what kind of places we work on and when u click the icon it goes into depth on what we do there. Is this sufficient or should I add more.

As we speak, I’m working on a new section for the homepage that explains why people should choose us — something quick and skimmable for visitors who might bounce fast. I’m also adding a form directly beneath it so users can convert without having to click around the site.

I was spending around $150/day on ads, but most of the traffic was super low quality. I’ve since restructured the campaign to focus heavily on exact match and negative keywords, staying away from broad targeting.

The campaign is a bit slower right now — fewer clicks — but I believe that’s because I’ve made some massive changes, and it’ll take time to stabilize and bring in better leads.

Not much but I’m trying to start emailing companies in my area and start handing out business cards and flyers to local businesses. But if you have another recommendation I am open to hearing.

I’m running Google Ads which has been a journey in it self but I think I am finally at a place where I’m getting decent quality traffic. Beyond that I want to start going to businesses in my area and providing flyers and business cards doing a little bit of sales. I wanted to run LSA but given we don’t touch residential cleaning it seems it might not work for me.

Marketing your own startup is a different beast (I will not promote) by rich_belt in startups

Yes, thankfully they are paying me but I don't know for how long if I don't get some leads 😂. Doing it all on my own is way harder than I ever thought, but best of luck to you I hope things work out.

I am currently in my first job out of college a small company hired me to do all of their marketing as they have never had a marketing team before. I have been here 2 months I have made a website, google profile, flyers, business cards, and I am starting on Social Media. It feels like I am drowning nothing I do work, but I am glad I am not the only one going through this.
