I Spent Millions on Marketing. Here's What Actually Worked

After 12 years of running my moving company and spending millions of dollars on marketing, I've tried just about every strategy out there. Some brought us thousands of customers. Others were a complete waste of money. In this video, I'm ranking 18 marketing strategies from S Tier (the best) to F Tier (the worst), based on my personal experience building a local service business. We're talking Google Ads, Facebook and Instagram Ads, Google Business Profile, Yelp, SEO, YouTube, influencer marketing, networking, flyers, direct mail, remarketing, and more. I'm ranking each strategy based on three things: 1. How quickly can it bring you customers? 2. How much does it cost, and how long can it deliver results? 3. How difficult is it to set up and manage yourself? These rankings are based on what worked (and didn't work) for my business. Your results might be different, but hopefully this helps you avoid some expensive mistakes.
