You don't need a marketing agency or an ad budget to dominate your local market. You need 30 minutes a week and the right habits.

Here's the routine — with AI prompts for every piece.

The Weekly 30-Minute Routine

Monday (5 minutes)
Respond to any new Google reviews. Post to Google Business Profile if you haven't this week.
After each job (3 minutes)
Send review request text. Post job completion on Nextdoor or local Facebook group.
Friday (10 minutes)
Follow up on open estimates. Send referral asks for jobs completed last week. Brief crew for next week.
