The challenge

Where they were stuck.

Queen City Plumbing did consistent install volume but struggled to scale beyond referrals. They wanted a paid channel that didn’t require a massive budget · and didn’t compete with their organic referral pipeline.

Our approach

What we did, in order.

  1. Pushed every completed job address into a Meta custom audience with a 1-mile radius geo-fence.
  2. Built ad creative using the install truck and crew photo from the specific street · captioned with the neighborhood name.
  3. Set spend to a low daily cap per active install, running for 21 days post-completion.
  4. Crew left QR-coded door hangers on the 20 nearest homes the day of install, dropping visitors into a 14-day retargeting pool.
  5. Synced lead routing into the CRM with the AI appointment setter handling first contact in under 60 seconds.

The results

What changed.

Over 6 months, the system generated 53 additional service calls from neighbors within 1 mile of existing jobs · and it now runs permanently in the background, generating consistent supplemental volume without owner attention.

“It feels like cheating. We swap a water heater Friday, by Wednesday we’ve got 2 neighbors calling for quotes. The system pays for itself every single week.”
