GOOGLE PPC + Meta Ad management with Local Legend Marketing: https://get.locallegend.ai/steve WEBSITE BUILDERS MENTIONED: Stryker Digital: https://www.stryker-digital.com/book-call/?el=steve In this video, I break down when home service businesses should keep marketing in-house and when it actually makes sense to hire an agency. I explain the 50% rule, why management fees should never eat up too much of your ad budget, and why most smaller businesses are better off running Meta ads, Google LSAs, and SEO themselves. I also compare Google PPC, Local Service Ads, landing pages, and SEO so you can understand which channels fit different revenue stages. I share why PPC and SEO agencies start making more sense once a business is doing over $1 million a year, especially when ad spend and competition increase. I also explain why cheap agencies often create cookie-cutter results and why the best agencies only make financial sense when their fees become a small part of your total marketing budget.
