Missed Calls Mean Missed Business

According to Invoca, 27% of calls to home service businesses go unanswered. An AI receptionist answers 24/7, identifies urgent requests and books jobs before customers call a competitor.

A tip from Google 💡

"Google has updated its guidance for sites that use generative AI, adding a warning that AI output may contain errors and advice to fact-check it by hand before publishing."

Google's guidance on AI-generated content now says to fact-check it by hand before publishing, and the review extends to titles, alt text, and other metadata.

Getting the conversion is marketing’s job. Turning that conversion into profitable revenue takes the entire business.

This is where ROAS falls short as a success metric.

Your call centre needs to book the call. Dispatch needs to send the right technician. The technician needs to turn the opportunity into a repair or lead. Sales needs to close at a strong rate and maximize the value of the job.

If any part of that process breaks down, even great marketing can look expensive.

The HVAC companies that can generate more revenue from each conversion can afford to pay more for leads and compete more aggressively in SEM.

Before blaming a high marketing cost percentage, look at the full picture. Track the conversion from click to call to booked job to closed sale to revenue.

Marketing generates the opportunity. Operations determines what that opportunity is worth.

Do you actually know what you can afford to pay for a lead?

A core part of the ProfitFill Philosophy is what we call Profit Principles: understanding the numbers that determine whether your marketing is actually profitable.

You need to know:
💰 Your average ticket value across repair, maintenance and installs
📞 Your booking rate from calls to jobs
📈 Your upsell rate once you’re in the home

When you know these numbers, you can work backwards to determine what a lead is really worth to your business.

For example:
Average job: $1,200
Booking rate: 80%
Upsell rate: 40%
Technician capacity: Balanced with demand

With the right economics behind you, paying $200–$300 for a lead in certain service categories can still be highly profitable.

The goal isn’t always to get the cheapest lead.

It’s to know exactly what you can afford to pay for the right lead and still make money.

Your call centre needs to book the call, your dispatch team needs to get the right technician to the call and your technician needs to convert the call into a repair or a lead. The salespeople need to close leads with a high sales conversion percentage and a high average sale price. If one of these functions in your operations team is not performing, you will not be in a position to compete for Search Engine Marketing (SEM) leads. This is because a competitor who is producing more revenue from the conversion will always be willing to pay more for that conversion.

It is critical that you have all the data to understand that your operations are working and producing profitable jobs. So many times a company will blame their marketing team because the cost of marketing percentage is too high when really the problem is that their operations are not creating enough revenue from the conversions.
