Marketing for pool service companies

Denver pool owners need an opening in spring and a closing in the fall, with a repair or two in between. The company that opens the pool in May is first in line for the rest. We help you be that company.

Opening dates fill up in a few busy weeks

Owners want the pool open by Memorial Day weekend, so the booking calls bunch up in April and early May. The companies whose calendars fill first get to plan tidy routes, and the rest take whatever is left.

Pool owners are a small share of the homes in any town, which makes them hard to reach. An ad shown to everyone mostly lands in front of people with no pool to open.

The fix: Facebook AdsWe run Facebook ads with your opening dates to people similar to your past customers. Facebook builds that audience, called a lookalike, from your own customer list.Setup: Priced in your proposal

A pump dies in July and they call whoever answers

A green pool the week of a party can't wait. The owner calls every pool company they can find, and the first one to pick up gets the job.

You're on the route with your hands in a filter while the phone rings in the truck. By the time you call back, another company has the repair and may keep the weekly service too.

The fix: Riley, AI ReceptionistOur AI receptionist answers every call while you're on the route and books the visit into the open times on your calendar. Urgent calls go straight to your cell.Setup: $750

Pool searches bring the wrong people to your ads

The word 'pool' turns up in all kinds of searches, like pool tables or the public pool's hours. Pay for those clicks and the budget is gone before a pool owner sees your ad.

Google Ads charges for every click, wrong ones included. Searches like 'pool opening service' or 'pool pump repair' are the ones worth paying for.

The fix: Google AdsWe run Google Ads on the searches for the jobs you do and read the search terms every week. Searches that will never hire you get blocked as negative keywords.Setup: From $1,500

What one pool customer is worth in a year

The customer you open in May is the one you close in the fall, and the one who calls when the pump quits. Miss the first call, and the whole year can go to someone else.

What one pool customer is worth in a year: the typical price, and the usual range
Open a pool for the season	$300, usually $250 to $350
Close a pool for the winter	$250, usually $200 to $300
Install a new pool pump	$1,000, usually $700 to $1,300
Find and fix a pool leak	$1,000, usually $500 to $1,500

Check your own Google listing before opening season

Search for your business on Google Maps and go down this list. Pool owners look at the same things before they call.

1.Your main category matches most of your work
Google lists pool cleaning and pool repair as separate kinds of business. Choose the one most of your jobs fall under, and add the other as a second category.
2.Openings and closings are listed as services
Add each one by name, along with weekly cleaning and repairs. Owners search for the job they need done this week.
3.Your photos show clear water
Post a before-and-after of a green pool you cleared, plus a tidy equipment pad. They show an owner what they're paying for.
4.Your winter hours are set
If you slow down after closings, update your hours. An owner with a winter leak should know when you'll call back.
5.Your service area matches your route
List the towns your route covers. A new customer two streets from a current stop adds almost no time on the road.
6.Your newest review is from this season
Reply to each review in a sentence or two. A newest review from last summer makes a busy company look closed.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should a pool company start advertising openings?

By March, before owners have picked a company for the year. Ads that start in late April show up after many calendars are already full.

Can Facebook find people who own pools?

Facebook can't tell us who owns a pool. A lookalike audience gets close: it starts from your list of past customers and shows the ads to people who have a lot in common with them.

What if my calendar is already full?

Turn the ads down. Paid ads can be lowered or paused while you're booked, and turned back up once you have room.

Can the receptionist book openings into my schedule?

It books into the calendar we connect, in the open times you set. Calls you'd rather take yourself, like a big repair quote, can go straight to your cell.

Do I need Google Ads if I'm already on the map?

It depends on the job. The map brings people who search 'pool service near me', and ads can catch specific jobs, like a pump or leak repair, in towns where you don't rank yet.

When is the best time to ask for a review?

Right after a job the owner can see, like an opening with clear water or a fixed leak. Review Generation sends the request by text or email after each job, so nobody has to remember.

Do I have to sign a long contract?

No. Billing is month to month, so you can scale back after closings and pick up again in spring.
