Marketing and growth

How we help you market and grow

Last updated · FloorIt

Quick answer

FloorIt helps you grow in stages. We run the ads and book your first 50 leads, and we teach you to sell and follow up.

After that, leads come bundled in when you reorder finish, and you keep the tools to run your own marketing. Over time, reviews, referrals and repeat customers should do more of the work than ads. This guide covers each stage and links to the pages that go deeper. For an honest look at what the first six months usually look like, watch the revenue roadmap video linked on this page.

The growth loop

  1. 1

    Get the lead

    From ads, a referral or a past customer

  2. 2

    Call fast

    Within minutes, while they still remember asking

  3. 3

    Run the estimate

    Check the floor, measure and give a clear price

  4. 4

    Do the job well

    Clean, careful work and a clear handoff

  5. 5

    Ask for the review and the referral

    In person, at the end of every job

  6. 6

    Come back later

    When the floor is due again

Each step feeds the next. A business that only buys leads stays stuck at step one.

Stage 1: your first 50 leads, run by us

We build an ad campaign for your area, under your brand, and pay the ad spend. Our team calls each lead and books the estimate into your calendar. You run the estimate and do the job.

How your first 50 leads work

The ads themselves

Short Facebook and Instagram videos, each built around one reason a homeowner might want a recoat. The claims stay plain and true, and you swap in your own footage once you have jobs.

How we write the ads

Turning leads into jobs

A lead is not a job. Most homeowners don't book on the first try. A text right away, a call within minutes and about two weeks of short follow-up turn far more of them into estimates.

The follow-up plan

Stage 2: after your first 50 leads

When you reorder finish from us, leads come bundled in. You also keep the ad library and the training, so you can run your own ads whenever you want more.

What happens after your first 50 leads

Running your own Meta ads

The training teaches one simple setup: one campaign for your area, one angle in each ad set, and a 15-minute check every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

How to set up your ads

Knowing if your marketing works

Clicks and likes don't pay the bills. We teach you to judge every ad by what it costs to book an estimate and to win a job.

The numbers to watch

Customers that cost no ad money

The people you already know, your own posts, local groups, reviews and referrals cost your time, not ad money. Partners start on these in their first week.

Free ways to get customers

Reviews and referrals, on purpose

A review ask and two referral cards at the end of every job. Done every time, they build a name in your town that ads can't buy.

How to get referrals and reviews

Stage 3: growing past yourself

When your calendar fills up, the next step is help. We help you hire a tech to do the floors, so you can spend your time on estimates and the business.

Hiring a tech

Slow months and your area

It's indoor work, so January works the same as June. Families fix their floors before holiday guests arrive, and spring brings houses getting ready to sell. Your area sets the ceiling.
