Our methodCalculate first, then advertise

Before a single euro goes into advertising, we work out with you what winning a job may cost. Budget, ads, landing page and measurement all follow from that.

The process

Four steps, one measure of success

  1. First the calculation

    In the free consultation, your job value, number of jobs and spare capacity show what you can afford to spend to win a job. Only then do we know what budget pays off and which offer to start with.

    Example calculation: job value 12,000 euros, two extra jobs per month, capacity for two jobs, gives a budget of 2,000 euros per monthEXAMPLE CALCULATIONJob value€12,000Number of jobs+ 2 jobs / monthSpare capacity2 jobs / monthYour budget€2,000 / month
  2. Then the ads

    Paid ads on Google and on social media reach customers in your area. Your Google Business Profile gives you extra visibility.

  3. The matching landing page

    The ad takes people to a page built specifically for that offer, with one clear next step: a call or an enquiry.

  4. Measured by the job

    Every enquiry is traced back to its source. We optimise for gross profit per job, not for the number of enquiries.

    Example for one month: 14 enquiries, 2 of them became jobs, 3,000 euros gross profit per jobEXAMPLE · ONE MONTHEnquiries14Turned into jobs2Gross profit per job€3,000↗

Illustrative example with a job value of €12,000 and a gross profit margin of 25%. Results depend on factors such as your trade, location, offer and sales process.

The calculation behind it

Three figures from your business show what winning a job may cost: job value, number of jobs, spare capacity. The budget follows from that.

Example calculation · What you can spend to win a job

Job value€12,000
Gross profit (25%)€3,000
Your investment per monthapprox. €2,000
To break even1 extra job per month

Profit calculation · What you keep

Extra jobs per month (target)2
Gross profit from these€6,000
less your investment− €2,000
You keep+ €4,000 / month

Over a year: €48,000 in additional gross profit.

Illustrative example with a job value of €12,000, a gross profit margin of 25% and two extra jobs per month. Results depend on factors such as your trade, location, offer and sales process. We work through your own calculation in the free consultation, using your figures.

When it is not worth it

Gross profit below €500 per job

Then it would take four or more extra jobs per month just to cover the costs. No one can honestly promise you that, and neither will we.

No spare capacity

Enquiries you cannot take on are wasted budget. Capacity first, then ads.

If either of these applies, we tell you in the free consultation, and you do not sign up for anything.
