We are often asked questions about what constitutes a good tracking result. Contractors want to know how many people should be coming to their website every month, or how many people should be calling or clicking through to their website from an email or a postcard. My answer is always the same: More than last time. (Or last month, or last year.)<\/p>\n
Use services like Google Analytics and call tracking phone numbers to establish a baseline for all your marketing efforts \u2013\u2013 and then continually work to improve those results. Yes, of course there are average industry results. But don\u2019t worry about them. Everyone\u2019s market, location, customer base and goals are so different. We can\u2019t expect a contractor in downtown Chicago to have the same number of website visitors as one in rural Kentucky. Just focus on your own results over time and you\u2019ll begin to recognize what is working well for you, and what isn\u2019t. Then you can use that data to make good marketing decisions moving forward.<\/p>\n
