Does anyone send SM via SendBlue vs getting verified for A2P? Pros and Cons of each?

I don’t yet have the money for paid ads or the time for cold calling. What would you say is the most efficient way for me to get clients for reputation management. I’ve sold websites and one off stuff in the past and got 4-5 clients for that through cold facebook DMs. Would I be best sticking with Facebook DMs for reputation management too or is there a better option.

I’m new to the community. I’m on the free version so don’t have access to material. I had an idea for marketing on Facebook and launched it today. I made a post, vibe coded a funnel using a video. Lead to a from that captured Name,number, email, GBP link, review count, review request method, and website link. I got over 60 free imbound leads with small businesses in my area in about 6 hours. I have 0 customers as of now and started almost a month ago learning. Now I gotta convert these leads into customers, worried I take on to many and can’t fulfill but also not a bad problem to have. Just wanted to announce a win!!

I'd love to hear from anyone actually using Paige for real clients — Have you had any GBP re-verifications due to Paige's automated GBP actions? Especially main category changes? If so, how do you deal with that?

Hey everyone 👋 I'm getting started helping local/home-service businesses (garage doors, HVAC, plumbing, landscaping, etc.) by reviewing their existing websites and pitching them a better one built with AI tools. My main goal: I want this process to be scientific and checklist-based, not intuition-based. Instead of "this site looks old to me," I want measurable criteria and evidence I can point to. I'd love the community's advice on two things — and I figure the answers will help anyone else here doing similar work: 1. What's on your checklist when reviewing a website? Focusing on the website itself — design/aesthetics, speed, mobile experience, SEO basics, missing conversion elements (clear CTAs, contact forms, click-to-call), etc. Not Google Business Profile or reviews — just the site. What specific, repeatable things do you check, and how do you score or measure them? 2. What tools do you use to make it evidence-based? So it's backed by data, not opinion. I've found off-the-shelf tools like Ugly Site Scraper so far. Curious what else people use: - Plug-and-play tools that find or score weak sites - Anything that generates a clean audit report I can show the prospect - Custom tools/scripts you've built yourselves Whatever you're willing to share on checklists, tools, or how you run this process would help me and probably a few others here too. 👉 If this would help you too, a quick upvote helps it reach the right people. Thanks! 🙏
