So i finally kicked my fear of door knocking and started handing out flyers (praying through it) and my first 3 door knockings a lady asked how I might remove this tree (see photos below) She wants it not hauled off but laid in her property in orderly fashion and also possibly stump grinded. I know I want to get into land clearing but my first job is a tree removal, I want to get out of that 9-5 and start the business so I need some help pricing and maybe some tips from yall if possible? Blessings yall Today was a great day

Austin, I'll be honest — I was reluctant to try Stryker. Part of me thought you were getting something out of the recommendation. But guys, Stryker is the 5th marketing company I've dealt with. In over a year of being open, I got zero traction from Google. My website was nothing but a money pit, and switching between companies left me with just a landing page and no website for 3 weeks. I was checking my local markets and coming up 41+ in every keyword search across all my service areas. Dead last. Invisible. Stryker built my new website and went live last Wednesday. All I was hoping for was some movement — maybe cracking the low 30s. I would have called that a huge win. This is what I woke up to this morning laying in bed. Had to rub my eyes 2 or 3 times. I attached the screen shots #1 in Appomattox #1 in Lynchburg #2 in Roanoke #2 in Henrico (Richmond) #2 for "forestry mulching near me" All in less than a week. They are building pages for my area, so they can keep me on top. I know I still have things to correct and work to do, but I'm counting this as a massive win. Time to start knocking out the next speed bumps. If you've been on the fence about Stryker, stop waiting.

Everyone, hopefully you all can learn from this fb ads challenge we had. Maybe this will help some of you in the future. See my initial post here that I used to describe my ad issue: https://www.skool.com/ownrops/ads-will-not-spend?p=61996de3 The end result: facebook will sometimes default the ad creation to your personal page and not your business page. My initial ads were launched on my personal ad account, unknown to me. The ads started spending and generating leads. I then realized a few days later that I needed to run the ads from my business page and set that up.... but they did not spend. No matter what I or META support did, we were unable to get it to work. After the case went to the facebook engineering back office for analysis, a few days later, I received the reason for not spending. The same payment method CANNOT be used on both your personal and business ads account, even though you can add the same payment method and it will APPEAR to be verified. It will not actually be verified...and your ads will not spend. So I added an alternate method, waited 72hrs, tried again, and now my business account is spending. Whew. What a challenge. Hope this helps someone in the future!
