Throw away the notion that digital marketing alone can build your home service business. In this eye-opening conversation, Lemon Seed Marketing founders Emily and Crystal reveal why so many contractors struggle with marketing that actually works—and how to fix it.

The key lies in their signature three-bucket framework: be memorable (building your brand), be discoverable (generating leads through call-to-action marketing), and foster your existing customer database. This strategic approach creates balance and sustainable growth instead of the constant feast-or-famine cycle most contractors experience.

"You can't outspend a bad brand," Crystal explains, highlighting how many companies throw money at digital marketing while neglecting the foundation that would make those ads perform better. The discussion offers practical insights on diversifying marketing investments across brand-building activities (truck wraps, billboards, radio), lead generation tactics (Google Local Service Ads, direct mail), and customer retention strategies (segmented email marketing, genuine community involvement).

The hosts share real-world examples of marketing that clicks, like creating memorable community event experiences, developing strategic email nurture campaigns that don't annoy customers, and setting proper expectations for each marketing tactic. Their engaging, no-nonsense style cuts through industry jargon to deliver actionable advice for contractors ready to build legacy brands.

Whether you're struggling to generate consistent leads or looking to take your established company to the next level, this conversation provides the framework to transform your marketing approach.
