More Flakes On The Floor. Less Money On The Table.
Honest Receipts.

Three contractors. Three regions. Three flavors of the same problem — bleeding cash to lead-aggregators while their best work sat unseen. Here's the receipts.

CASE FILE / 01MIDWEST / OH

Founding Operator — 2-Man Garage Shop

2-Man CrewColumbus Metro, OH•Residential Garage + Basement
STUDY 01 / 03
THE BEFORE STATE

Owner was paying $85/lead to a national aggregator for $400 'paint my floor' jobs. GBP had 11 reviews, wrong primary category ('Painter'), and the website didn't mention metallic or polyaspartic anywhere. Calendar was full of tire-kickers.

THE EPOXY-SPECIFIC PLAY
  1. 01
    FIXED
    GBP primary category → 'Concrete Contractor', added flake + metallic services with photos.
  2. 02
    KILLED
    Cancelled the lead-aggregator contract. Reallocated $600/mo to a tight Meta test on 2015–2020 build-year homes.
  3. 03
    AUTOMATED
    Set up a 3-step SMS reply for inbound leads — first response under 5 minutes.

Hey — saw your Google profile. We've got a 600sqft garage, looking at the gray flake. What's a ballpark and how soon can you quote?

CASE FILE / 02SOUTHWEST / TX

Founding Operator — Polyaspartic Specialist

3-Man CrewAustin Metro, TX•High-Ticket Polyaspartic Garages
STUDY 02 / 03
THE BEFORE STATE

Crew was set up for $8k+ polyaspartic systems but the previous marketer was running 'epoxy paint' Google Ads. Tickets averaged $2.4k. Burning $1,800/mo on traffic that didn't match the offer.

THE EPOXY-SPECIFIC PLAY
  1. 01
    REBUILT
    New landing page focused only on polyaspartic — moisture testing, 1-day install, 15-yr warranty.
  2. 02
    BLOCKED
    Added 60+ negative keywords (DIY kit, paint, cheap, rustoleum) to the existing ad account.
  3. 03
    TARGETED
    Narrowed Meta to $500k+ home value zips with retargeting on the polyaspartic explainer video.

THE BEFORE STATE

04FOUNDING OPERATOR FEEDBACK

Straight From The First Three.

Three pilot operators. Anonymized at their request. We'll grow this wall the honest way — one shop at a time.

"First call, they asked what grit I run on my Diamond Cup before they asked about ad budget. That told me everything. Pilot's been a fair trade."
Pilot Operator 01
2-Man Garage Shop
Columbus Metro, OH
"My old marketer ran 'epoxy paint' Google Ads against a polyaspartic shop. Voren rebuilt the page and the negatives in a week. Tickets are up — that's all I care about."
Pilot Operator 02
Polyaspartic Specialist
Austin Metro, TX
"They were upfront that I was one of their first. Honestly that's why I said yes — I didn't want to be account #400 at some big agency. Communication's been straight."
