Key takeaways
- The symptom you feel, like a slow spring, usually has a quieter cause, like quotes that reach homeowners two days after a competitor's.
- The consultation checks your Google profile, website, ads and follow-up against how homeowners and property managers actually hire a pressure washing company.
- You leave with five moves ranked by impact, each with an owner and a date, whether or not you hire us.
- Bring last spring's quote export from Jobber or ResponsiBid. Sent versus approved is often the first finding.
A marketing consultant for a pressure washing company should diagnose before prescribing. Our free growth consultation looks at your Google profile, website, ads and follow-up, traces the symptom you feel to the cause underneath, and ranks the fixes by impact. You leave with five moves and dates, ready before the spring rush, whether or not you hire us.
What a growth consultation covers
It covers the whole path, from the moment a homeowner notices green siding to the second wash a year later. Owners usually arrive with a symptom. The work is finding what sits under it, because two companies with the same complaint often need opposite fixes.
These are the symptoms pressure washing owners bring most, and what we look for underneath:
"Spring is slow" : We check map visibility and reviews in the neighborhoods you want (how Google ranks local results). Just as often, the requests are there, but quotes go out two or three days later because the owner writes them at night after washing all day.
"We only get cheap driveway jobs" : We read the ad search terms and the site. Often the roof and house wash pages have no photos, so only the price shoppers stay.
"Roof jobs don't close" : We look at what a nervous homeowner sees. If nothing explains soft washing, they assume a wand on their shingles and say no.
"Winter kills us" : We look for a maintenance plan, a list of last year's customers, and commercial accounts on a schedule. Usually there is no plan, and nobody has called the list.
"Commercial work is impossible to get" : We check whether a property manager can find a commercial page, request an insurance certificate and get a bid for a recurring schedule, not a single visit.
Ads are judged on booked jobs, not clicks, so we also check whether your account can see which clicks became paid work (conversion tracking).
What happens in the session
- Confirm your goal For example revenue growth or new locations
- Review what you run now Google profile, website, ads and follow-up, live
- Your five next moves In order, with rough timelines
- Decide what happens next If we are a fit we say so. If not, you keep the plan.
What you leave with
You leave with five ranked moves, each with an owner and a date. Some take an afternoon. Some take a season. The list is yours to act on with your own crew, another provider or us.
Example only. A two-rig company that is busy in May and quiet in December might leave with this:
- Send a price range the same day for every house wash and driveway request from March to June, using quote templates in the CRM.
- Build a roof soft washing page with your own roof photos and a plain explanation of low-pressure cleaning.
- In late winter, contact last year's house wash customers who agreed to hear from you, with their own before-and-after photos attached.
- Add negative keywords for rental, repair and equipment searches before spring budgets go up.
- Offer every storefront you clean a quarterly schedule, and ask the property manager for the next building.
Your five will be different, because they come from your numbers.
Who runs it
Trevor Shirk, who founded VETS Growth Marketing, leads the diagnosis himself. He served in the U.S. Army as a Ranger-qualified engineer officer and has spent more than a decade in digital marketing and business strategy. You talk with the person accountable for the plan, not a rep with a script.
Every engagement runs in the same order: Assess, Prioritize, Execute, Measure. The consultation is the first two steps, done on your business in one sitting.
How to prepare
- Export last spring's quotes. From Jobber, ResponsiBid or your field service CRM, pull quotes sent from March to June, with the date requested, the date sent and whether each was approved.
- Split jobs by service. House washing, roof soft washing, concrete and commercial, with job count and revenue for each. This shows where the money really is.
- List repeat and plan customers. Note who booked more than once, who is on a maintenance plan, and who washed with you two seasons ago but not last season.
- List commercial accounts. Include the schedule, the contact and how you won each one.
- Open your accounts. Have Google Business Profile, Google Ads, Meta and website analytics logins ready, or add us as a user beforehand.
- Write down last season's spend. A rough figure per channel is enough: ads, yard signs, door hangers, lead marketplaces.
- Note your capacity. Rigs, crew days a week, and how far out you were booked at the peak.
If you already suspect follow-up is the gap, read how pressure washing companies get repeat customers before the call. For a wider view of channels, see how to get more pressure washing customers.
