I Write These Between Client Calls

Every article in this archive started as a question a contractor asked me on a call — about a cost per lead, a Google Business Profile that stopped ringing, a website somebody wanted to rebuild when it did not need rebuilding.

That is also why there is no article here about restaurants or dentists. Heating, cooling and home services is the only industry we work in.
