Local customers search, compare reviews and call. Revnu puts you in those searches with ads and posts for your area, writes your Google Business Profile posts, and finds the businesses that send you work.

> Start Google Search ads for people searching for an emergency plumber in Leeds. Build them paused and show me the test budget.

## Your best five asks

### 1. Local search ads

> Run Google Search ads for "boiler repair" and "boiler service" in our area, judged on calls booked through our website.

### 2. Posts for searches in your area

> Write one post a week that answers a question people in our area ask before hiring a service like ours, and publish it on our blog.

### 3. Google Business Profile posts

> Every Monday, write a short Google Business Profile post about this week's offer, with a link to our booking page.

### 4. What customers complain about at competitors

> Read the recent public reviews of our three nearest competitors and tell me the complaints worth answering in our ads and pages.

### 5. Partners who send you work

> Find property management companies and letting agents in our area, the person who books repairs at each, and draft an intro from me.
