A note from Alex

Grow your PDR shop in Columbus, without the agency runaround.

I only work with PDR shop owners. When Columbus shops call, I already know how customers here search and what usually breaks first. Tell me a little about the shop and I'll come back personally with two things you can do this week to grow, whether we ever work together or not.

What we hear

Where Columbus PDR shops actually lose money

These are the patterns we hear from Columbus PDR shop owners on the first call. The same handful of gaps in the marketing stack, showing up over and over.

Traffic without estimates

The site gets visits, but almost nobody fills out the form or picks up the phone.

Invisible in Google Maps

The shop isn't showing up in the local 3-pack for the searches that actually book work.

Paying for shared leads

Lead-gen middlemen keep selling the same lead to 3–5 competitors at once.

Ads spend, no jobs booked

Google Ads run every day but the tracked booked-estimate number stays flat.

Slow lead follow-up

New leads sit unanswered long enough that the fastest competitor closes them first.

Storms hit the wrong shop

Hail events light up local demand and out-of-town chasers take the market.

Not enough recent reviews

Review velocity has stalled and the Map Pack quietly pushes the shop down.

Website looks generic

The site doesn't communicate speed, trust or insurance experience on a phone in under 3 seconds.

Competitors own the SERPs

The same 3–4 shops keep showing up first for every profitable local query.
