Anyone use drones to run estimates? Am I wasting time researching this topic?

Hello all, First le me say I love the site and all the info here. It has been awesome to have this lifeline and guidance. looking forward too see how everyone does. I am in the same boat as most here, just starting up in NE Florida area. Right now I am waiting to get decals and some signage installed on truck and equipment so I can get verified. I have a project lined up so i can get photos to start advertising online, I am kinda in a holding pattern until i get pictures for ads and website construction. I have been thinking about ordering yard signs to start advertising in my area. Have any of you tried them out and what was the results.

I have a 100+ acre job coming onto my plate that is going to be a massive blessing. The project will take some time to complete. How would you guys manage growth while taking on a larger project? Should I set aside time weekly to quote jobs and schedule work to start several months out? My fear is catching one big fish, and then finding myself with empty nets afterwards and having to rebuild momentum.

Good morning gentlemen, I’ve filmed my ad for FaceBook marketing (will be cross posting as well), but I had a question regarding post date in relation to ad campaigns. Does Facebook deprioritize content if it has an older post date? I have some previous material I’m going to include in my campaign and some of it is several months old, will this effect the algorithm in any way?

If you run a land clearing / forestry mulching business, you probably feel this: - Leads and jobs scattered across texts, Facebook, Jobber, your notebook - Guessing at pricing and hoping you didn’t underbid - No reliable way to see, “What’s booked and what’s actually hitting my bank in the next 30 days?” That’s exactly what drove me crazy in the early years running Bear Claw... Since then, we’ve been duct‑taping GoHighLevel, Jobber, and a bunch of spreadsheets together. It works, but it’s way harder than it should be. So this year I finally said: screw it, I’m building the software system I wish existed. What I’m building (and why you should care) Over the last few months, we’ve been building OPS ENGINE: The operating system I use to run a 7‑figure fire mitigation / land‑clearing business… turned into software you can plug into your business. -Profitable Pricing -Fast FB Lead Capture -Automatic Text/Email Follow Ups -CRM Sales Pipeline -Speed To Lead Tracking -Quoting, Scheduling, Invoicing -Payment Capture -Dashboard (with metrics that actually matter) OPS ENGINE is built for one purpose: Take a “guy with a machine” and turn him into the owner of a real, scalable land‑clearing business by saving time, automating repetitive tasks, and tracking the most important metrics. If you follow along, you’ll see exactly how we: - Price jobs using crew‑day math so you stop working for free - Capture every lead from FB Ads, website call, form submission into one clean pipeline - Automate follow‑up so bids don’t ghost and jobs don’t slip through the cracks - See jobs + expected cash 30 days ahead so you stop riding the feast‑or‑famine rollercoaster Last year I used these same systems to help a guy go from $0 to ~$150k/month in 6 months. I’m not sharing theory; this system was designed on what already works. What you get now (before it ever launches) OPS ENGINE is not public yet. Bear Claw will run on it first.
