For Local Service Businesses

Know what a new customer costs — before you spend a dollar.

ProfitIQ builds marketing plans around a target cost per acquisition. We set the number with you, budget to hit it, and cut anything that doesn't pull its weight.

The Difference

Most marketing reports on clicks.
We report on what a customer cost you.

If your agency can't tell you what you paid to win your last customer, you're not buying marketing — you're buying activity.

The typical agency

  • Charges a retainer before knowing your numbers
  • Reports impressions, clicks, and "engagement"
  • Spends the full budget whether it's working or not
  • Can't answer "what did that customer cost me?"

The ProfitIQ way

  • Starts with your job value, close rate, and margin
  • Sets a target cost per acquisition — together, up front
  • Manages your budget against that number like a P&L
  • Fixes or kills anything running over target
How It Works

Three steps. One number that matters.

1

Set the number

We work out what a new customer is actually worth to your business, then agree on a target cost to acquire one. That number drives everything.

2

Build the plan

Budget and channels — Google Ads, Local Services Ads, Meta, local SEO — are chosen to hit your CPA, not to spend for spending's sake.

3

Cut what doesn't pay

Weekly review against the target. Anything running over gets fixed or killed. You see cost per customer — not vanity metrics.

Who We Help

We speak local service.

The math is different for every trade. We build the plan around yours.

🔧

Repair Shops

A first-time repair customer often comes back for years. We price acquisition against lifetime value — not one ticket.

🐕

Dog Trainers

Packages and repeat sessions mean one good lead is worth far more than it looks. Your CPA target should reflect that.

🌱

Landscapers

Seasonal demand swings hard. We shift budget with the season so you're not paying summer prices for winter leads.

⚖️

Lawyers

One signed case can be worth thousands — which changes what a lead is allowed to cost. We do that math before bidding a dollar.
