A lot of agencies keep clients by sending impressive-looking reports full of numbers that don't matter. Here's how to cut through it.
The one number that matters
Booked jobs. How many repair orders did their work put in your bay this month? Everything else is noise.
If they can't answer that clearly, that's your answer.
Numbers that don't mean much
- Impressions, how many people saw an ad. Doesn't pay rent.
- Clicks, how many visited. Not the same as booked.
- "Engagement", likes and follows. Nice to have. Not money.
- Leads alone, a name isn't a job until it books.
Questions to ask your agency
- How many jobs did you book me last month?
- What did each booked job cost in ad spend?
- What's the plan to lower that cost?
- Would you tie your fee to booked jobs?
