Challenges to know
Price-sensitive market; many clients choose purely on price, so businesses might focus less on software spend.
Scheduling can be sporadic – in slow weeks owners may not think about marketing at all.
Quality can be subjective (stains out or not), sometimes yielding mixed reviews that owners are wary of highlighting.
Honest about the challenges, because agencies that go in with clear eyes close better deals and retain longer.
Seasonal strategy
Peaks in spring (spring cleaning) and pre-holiday season when people freshen up homes; slower in summer when many are away.
Automation playbook
Set up Make to automatically send customers a before/after photo collage and a review link once a job is completed. Use an integration to post positive review snippets on the company's Facebook page to attract more local clients.
