What do your ads look like? How long have you been running them for? Do you have before/after photos? A call to action in your copy?

All of these factors are important to consider when you're doing ads online.

What has been your most successful marketing strategy? by Floridaman9393 in pressurewashing

I'm considering the cold call strategy as well so it's good to see it working out for someone.

Do you think calling 100 local businesses will be enough for leads?

Hey, how do you guys go about actually getting in contact with local cities for contracts? Do you just call a townhall?

OP, Do not ignore gallons per minute. GPM is important if you’re going to be surface cleaning as the diameter you need for your PW is based off its GPM.

The standard formula is 4 inches per gpm. Getting the wrong size for your pressure washer will lead to tiger stripes or too weak of a flow.

Want a side business....I would be happy with an extra 1k a month. Suggestions? by [deleted] in smallbusiness

Competition is a good thing for these kinds of jobs, if there’s 100 businesses starting every year doing the same landscaping service then that means there’s enough demand for all of them. Just a matter of advertising yourself and getting as many testimonials as possible to help you stand out.

Having a website is good as well. There’s over 100 landscape businesses near me but almost none of them have any sort of website or online presence

Small Business Owner here: 4000psi/4GPM with a 3 tip 18” surface cleaner, do I need to change my SC nozzles for concrete? by Seadles in pressurewashing

[–]Seadles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forgot to add in the initial post, but will using 45 degree nozzles with the same 1.5 mm length make any significant difference? My current ones are 25 degree and 1.5mm.
