ROAS: What Every Contractor Needs to Know

Your ROAS number can look incredible and still be the reason you’re stuck. We sit down with Bree from Free Agency to get brutally clear on what return on ad spend can and can’t tell a contractor, especially when agencies blend brand traffic, existing customers, and true prospecting into one tidy report.

We walk through Bree’s “Moneyball marketing” framework, a practical marketing funnel built around attribution. We talk about why awareness channels like TV, radio, billboards, and community support often show low tracked ROAS while still creating real demand that later shows up as SEO, Google Business Profile calls, and branded search. Then we get tactical about the trackable layer: paid search, Local Services Ads, lead sources, and the day-to-day work of moving dollars toward what performs, without falling for inflated blended metrics.

We also cover the “base coverage” essentials like your website and SEO, plus the underrated “home run” play most contractors miss: monetizing your customer database with email, SMS, and thoughtful reactivation campaigns. If you’re a $1M to $3M home services business, we close with two priorities to tackle first: call tracking and avoiding shiny object syndrome so you can make decisions with clean data and keep the job board full.

If this helped, subscribe, share it with a contractor friend, and leave a quick review so more people stop guessing and start measuring.
