Empty call board this week. Overbooked next week. That’s not a demand problem - it’s an alignment problem. Too many home service companies overspend on marketing without pressure-testing operational capacity. That’s how ad budgets get wasted and teams get overwhelmed. In this Around the CAMPfire episode, Katie Donovan sits down with Matt Murray (CMO & Head of Innovation at Peterman Brothers) to break down how top operators: • Match marketing spend to real-time capacity • Use speed-to-lead to protect booked jobs • Keep ops, CSRs, and marketing on the same scoreboard Check it out - youtube.com/watch?v=kXRyYiIB…

Search isn’t what it used to be. Homeowners aren’t typing one keyword and picking the first result anymore. They’re researching, scrolling, comparing, watching videos - and making decisions long before they ever hit your website. If you’re still relying on the same old tactics, you’re already behind. 🎥 Watch the webinar replay to see what’s changing (and what to do about it). youtube.com/watch?v=6VB1GbTB… 👉 campdigital.com #CAMPDigital #HomeServicesMarketing #AIMarketing #GooglePremierPartner #WeFillCallBoards
