Hello I just started a new construction company in Atlanta, Georgia where we do anything from handyman services to full home renovations. I just started the company officially and have no where to go and do not understand how I am supposed to proceed about this. The dilemma is not getting any quality clinets or even leads to generate any real revenue. I post ads on facebook and craigslist but I just get cheap people who want me to usually fix a hack job that their previous contractor did that was horrible because they want to go with the cheapest quote. Every other place that I see to post ads is very expensive and I am not bringing in no where near enough money to spend it on Angies list or things like that. I saw some reddit post talk about getting most good clients through word of mouth, but how can I even get started with that? I have business cards that i hand out to everyone I know and tell people I have a company. Every one is just trying to get un realistic cheap quotes and then most of the time not do them and I waste my time and my gas in my truck going to estimates that end no where. please any advice would be appreciated and used.

    The competition is expensive for a reason. It is not about what you could do. It is about what will be blatantly profitable and a good use of your time. Craigslist is full of cheapskates. Facebook can be a good lead generator but you have to include marketing spend in pricing. Be great and worth price- dont be cheap.

    I think something that might help is internet presence. Facebook ads is good, but there’s a reason there are agencies specializing in social media ads: it’s not always that straightforward and simple.

    Also, the ad must lead somewhere. Where do people end up when clicking on your ad? Having a website or a professional social media page with your work would be very helpful. If you need help with any of that, hit me up.
