I grew an electric and HVAC shop with my own marketing spend. Real tests, not theory. How Lead Junkies got built.
Forms
Tune-ups, simple diagnostics, memberships — when speed-to-lead is real. A form that sits until morning is junk with extra fields. Volume feels like marketing. Booked trucks are marketing.
Messages
Changeouts, “what would you charge,” photos of the unit. If the inbox is a graveyard, do not run Messages. You will brag about cheap conversations you never had. The longer guide is Instant Forms vs Messenger for HVAC. The service is Meta Ads.
