Referrals vs. Google vs. Ads: Here’s how to get the most out of them

1. Referrals

Some just fall from the heavens.

But you can get a lot more.

How?

Stay top of mind: Contact your list with valuable, helpful, or entertaining content.

Say thank you: Regularly acknowledge and reward your referral sources.

Referrals come from relationships, not wishful thinking.

 

 

2. “Google”

Translation: when someone searches, do you show up? You need to rank high and look good doing it.

How?

Keep your Google Business Profile accurate and updated.

Get a steady stream of great reviews (automate this)

Keep a good website that is “active”. How?:

  • SEO-optimized blog posts
  • Copy that speaks to what your prospects are actually searching for

Google is your silent salesperson. Dress it well.

 

 

3. Ads

Once you have the first 2 locked in, ads might be next.
But ONLY if you’re ready.

Here’s the checklist:

  • Do you have a good sales team ready? Be honest.
  • Do you have a follow-up system locked in (good text/email automations, retargeting)
  • Ad copy speaks to your ideal client
  • Clean landing page with one clear call-to-action

Don’t buy traffic until your house is ready for company.
