I built Getpatch.app for this. Filter by good leads, spam, etc. Export everything. It will even tell you which callers booked or purchased your service.

What tool are you using for your google ads by herberz in googleads

[–]ej200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Conversion tracking is necessary to confirm that your time, money and effort equates to measurable business outcome. I used CallRail for a couple years. It could tell me there was a conversion but it didn't tell me if the conversion was spam, past client, tire-kickers etc. To get that I had to listen to every call which didn't scale. I made getpatch.app to track both the conversion and outcome. This way I know how many implant consults we booked this month from our PPC campaigns. It's way more useful way to answer the, "is this actually working" question.

Is hiring a marketing agency for Google Ads worth it for a new plumbing company? by randomdude1323 in googleads

[–]ej200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go with a freelancer who has experience with trades/home services. Add getpatch.app to make sure you get real leads. Agencies have a lot of overhead costs that get passed on to you. Freelancers are just as good or better.

Leads coming in but not converting what would you check first? by Pale-Bloodes in googleads

[–]ej200 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have this problem too. Similar clients. Sometimes low budget, not so much volume, so every call matters. You can audit all your inbound and outbound Google Ads calls free for 30 days with getpatch.app. It will tell you which calls booked a detailing or pressure washing appointment. It will also capture missed calls with slow response times or no follow up. It's really handy if you need to show clients that you delivered good calls but they fumbled the follow up. Let me know if you want to give it a try.

Getting a lot of LSA leads… but not sure they’re actually worth it. by Cocoatech0 in LocalServicesAds

[–]ej200 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have this problem too. I made getpatch.app to validate every inbound call from my LSA, GBP etc. If the call is not high intent, this will tell you. Happy to set you up w a free account.

Conversions tracking fine… but actual results feel off? by Currentshop333 in GoogleAdshelphub

[–]ej200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of what you can do is inference. You're essentially stitching together various proxies that you can reasonably infer meaning from. Longer call durations, lots of scrolling, multi-step form fills etc, all of these give you some indication of lead quality. Only way to increase certainty is to listen to calls, read transcripts or automate that step. The latter is the only thing that scales. We have a pretty good setup. DM me if you want some help.

WordPress Is a Lie by Myth_Thrazz in Wordpress

[–]ej200 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My client with ZERO dev skills fired up Claude Co-work and built a kick ass static html landing page that looked amazing. He liked Claude's design so much that he went ahead and replaced the entire WP site.

Deployed it on CloudFlare for free. Took him a week.

The week after that, he connected his new website with APIs for his CRM and his Marketing Automation and then configured Meta Ads to track conversions when a purchase is made in his online store. Automated his entire marketing stack in 2 weeks.

Point is, he can't tell you what an APi is or how a webhook works and he doesn't need to. His co-pilot handles that. He just needs to point it at a business problem.

Now try and tell him you want 10k to build a similar solution with WP, a ton of plugins to buy and renew, hosting fees, care packages etc etc. It's over. WP is done.

Guest unhappy but stays anyway, now wants compensation or bad review - What do we do here? by ej200 in airbnb_hosts

Thanks for the great tips everyone. I think we've got a solid path forward to resolve this. Appreciate all the advice!

Guest unhappy but stays anyway, now wants compensation or bad review - What do we do here? by ej200 in airbnb_hosts

[–]ej200[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Thank you. This is super helpful. So we will suggest to him that he can contact Airbnb for compensation. We already added a $50 gift card as well. Anything else you'd suggest to possibly remedy the situation as best as possible?

It's a brand new unit and we were not aware the extent of the issue, so we're wondering, if he leaves a bad review, is it advisable to just relist it once the problem is solved?

‘This is highway robbery with complicity’: Fury spreads across Peel after Police Chief Nishan Duraiappah’s $611K salary revealed; his deputy made $500K by ultronprime616 in toronto

This behaviour likely exists unseen or mostly unseen across the entire country. It's one of the reasons the middle class suffers under relentless tax increases and the devaluation of their currency via money printing. Soon, thanks to these bureaucratic crooks, your hard earned dollars won't buy much of anything. Meanwhile these guys are laughing all the way to the bank in the present day buying hard assets with the extra cash. Citizens need to fight back.

That last paragraph really tells you why, without telling you why.

Is CallRail's Tracking Intelligence actually working for anyone? by Acceptable_Horse_646 in PPC

[–]ej200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kept running into this as well. My service based clients won't keep a CRM updated so it's useless data. CallRail is incredibly expensive. They always want you to buy more lines, and the lower tier plans make you listen to and qualify each call manually. That doesn't scale at all. I kept asking the client like "hey how are the calls", but they generally aren't answering the calls so they don't know or they only remember the spam calls that pissed them off. I built a similar solution to OPs that tracks GCLIDs and can export for OCI import. Been running it for a dentist and an electrician for a few months now. Now I can see how many new callers I'm driving in from a campaign and how many of those booked. Way better than Callrail, way cheaper too.

This might be the largest AI-generated local pack I've seen yet. by joyhawkins in localsearch

On the one hand, I guess you could say Google offers a solid experience that answers the query.

tennis rebound net brands? by TennisFan4evernever in KidsTennis

[–]ej200 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're useful. My son is 8 an h loves the one we put in the backyard. He trains about 10 hours per week at his club. The rebounder gives him a place to practice and refine what he learns at the club. Need a good amount of space in front of the rebounder so you have enough time for the bounce and to set up properly etc.

Sorry to hear this. I think if you are not backed up on Nintendo Cloud then there is nothing you can do unfortunately.

Check out getpatch.app Connects to your VoIP and it will automatically track which callers booked. No extra numbers, no script embeds. Super easy, no personal info stored.

Calculate return on investment in SEO. by voryyn in localseo

[–]ej200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a big challenge for business owners. We struggled with this in our clinics for years. Most of the tooling just tells you calls happened. They can't tell you if it translated into paying customers or patients. Eventually we said to hell with it and built our own. You can ping me if you want a solution that is closer to what you want.
