Built from the foundation up Each level depends on the one beneath it. Pick a level to see what it covers.

You do great work. So why isn't the schedule full?

If you run a local service business, a few of these probably sound familiar.

  • "If more people knew about us, we'd be booked solid."

    Your customers love the work. The trouble is getting found by the next hundred homeowners who need you.

  • "I know I should market more. I just don't have the time."

    You're running crews, quoting jobs and answering the phone. Marketing gets done when there's a slow week, which is exactly when it's too late.

  • "We tried an agency. It cost a lot and didn't pay off."

    Paying for more traffic doesn't help when missed calls go unanswered and past customers never hear from you again.

The answer isn't more marketing. It's marketing systems.

A system is the right mix of strategy, campaigns and technology working together so the fundamentals get done every day, automatically. Systems cut the time and know-how you need to grow, and they make every marketing dollar you spend work harder.

The R6 System: six systems, three stages of growth.

Marketing is everything your business does to attract prospects, convert them into customers and keep them for the long haul. Each stage has two keys to success, and all six happen to start with R.

  1. AttractReach + ReputationGet found, and make a great first impression.
  2. ConvertReadiness + RemarketAnswer fast, and stay in touch until they're ready.
  3. RetainReliability + ResellDeliver great work, and keep customers coming back.

Here's each system, from the foundation up.

R1

Reliability

Retain stage

How reliably do you deliver the experience your customer desires?

This is the foundation, and it's the one that has the least to do with marketing. It's the experience customers have with your work and your team. No amount of marketing can make up for an unreliable experience, so it's the first thing the R6 Audit looks at.

You know your craft better than anyone, so we won't tell you how to do it. Our job is to take the marketing busywork off your plate so you can put your energy into delivering a great experience.

R2

Reputation

Attract stage

How are you viewed and experienced by prospects and customers in the marketplace?

Homeowners check you out online before they ever call. Reviews, your Google Business Profile, your website and your social pages all shape that first impression, and most of it is created by other people.

97% of consumers read reviews for local businesses, and 74% look for reviews written in the last three months.

(BrightLocal, 2026)

What we set up

  • Automatic review requests after every job
  • Review monitoring, with help responding
  • Google Business Profile management
  • Accurate listings across the major directories
  • Website search basics, done right
  • Regular social media posting
  • Website chat with an AI assistant

R3

Readiness

Convert stage

How responsive are you to opportunities from prospects and customers?

Customers reach out by phone, text, chat, social messages and web forms, and they expect a fast answer on all of them. When you're on a roof or under a sink, a missed call can quietly become a job for your competitor.

78% of consumers have abandoned a business after an unanswered call.

(CallRail, 2025)

What we set up

  • Missed-call text-back within a minute
  • AI phone answering after hours
  • Online booking, 24/7
  • Call tracking
  • Instant follow-up for every new lead
  • One inbox for calls, texts, chats and social messages

R4

Resell

Retain stage

How are you maximizing the lifetime value of each customer by turning them into repeat customers?

You've already done the hard work of earning a customer. Maintenance plans, seasonal tune-ups, add-on services and referrals turn one job into many, and keeping a customer costs far less than finding a new one.

Harvard Business Review research found that winning a new customer costs 5 to 25 times more than keeping an existing one.

(Harvard Business Review, 2014)

What we set up

  • A customer database that's actually used
  • Monthly offers by text and email
  • Birthday and service-anniversary messages
  • Win-back campaigns for past customers
  • Referral requests at the right moment
  • Text-to-pay and quick payment links

R5

Remarket

Convert stage

How are you keeping the attention of your prospects and customers over time?

Most people don't hire the first time they hear about you. Maybe the old water heater is still limping along. Remarketing keeps you in front of them, so when they're ready, you're the company they remember.

67% of consumers say they're more likely to buy from a business when they're subscribed to its texts.

(EZ Texting, 2026)

What we set up

  • Automatic follow-up for prospects who haven't booked
  • A monthly email newsletter
  • List building on your website
  • Retargeting audiences, ready for future ads
  • Text promotions for time-sensitive offers

R6

Reach

Attract stage

How are you reaching new prospects and expanding the awareness of your offerings?

A growing business needs more people to know about it today than yesterday. Reach covers how new customers find you: search, maps, social and, when the time is right, advertising.

84% of consumers searched online for a local business in the last three months.

(BrightLocal, 2026)

What we set up

  • Search optimization for your website and content
  • Source tracking, so you know what's working
  • A clear profile of your ideal customer
  • Lead capture that grows your list
  • Paid advertising, added once the foundation is ready (optional)

Reach sits at the top of the pyramid for a reason.

Most businesses start with advertising. But sending more people to a business that misses calls, has few recent reviews and never follows up is like pouring water into a leaky bucket. That's why so many owners decide advertising doesn't work.

R6 fixes the bucket first. When the systems underneath are in place, every dollar you put into reach has a much better chance of turning into a booked job.

What R6 looks like on an ordinary weeknight.

An illustration: a heating and air company in Marietta with all six systems running. Nobody on the team has to remember any of this.

  1. 7:48 PM

    A homeowner in East Cobb calls about an AC that just quit. The crew is done for the day, so the call goes unanswered.

  2. 7:49 PM

    She gets a text right away: "Sorry we missed you. Want to grab a time for tomorrow?" She books 9 AM from her phone.

    Readiness
  3. Next day

    The job wraps up. An hour later she gets a friendly review request, and she mentions how fast they responded.

    Reputation
  4. That week

    Her neighbor visited the website but didn't book. He gets a follow-up email with a tune-up offer, then sees the company again on Facebook.

    Remarket
  5. Six months later

    A reminder goes out for a fall furnace tune-up, along with a note about the maintenance plan. She books again.

    Resell
  6. All year

    Fresh reviews and an active Google Business Profile can help the company show up higher when people across Cobb County search for HVAC help.
