BUSINESS MODEL

What is sold and where the problem starts.

01SCALERegional installation company
02MARKETUnited Kingdom, 14 service areas
03PRODUCTHeat pumps and solar installation
04REVENUE MODELHigh-ticket lead generation
TASK

Fill survey calendars with homeowners who fit the property, postcode and financing requirements.

STARTING POINT

Lead forms produced volume, but 38% of contacts were outside the service area or not installation-ready.

TARGET

Reduce qualified-lead CPA below $80 and book at least 120 technical surveys a month.

THE EXPERIMENT STORY

The leads were cheap. The installation crews had nowhere to go.

This narrative uses a modelled scenario. The company, budget and outcomes are fictional; the diagnostic and operating logic show how a real engagement would unfold.
  1. 01
    01 / THE BRIEF

    The first symptom was not inside the ad account.

    The weekly report celebrated lead volume while sales opened forms from unsupported postcodes, rental properties and homeowners who only wanted a rough price. Media was doing exactly what it had been asked to do: find form submissions. Operations needed survey-ready homes.

    Regional installation company was selling heat pumps and solar installation across United Kingdom, 14 service areas. The model was high-ticket lead generation. On the surface, the brief sounded direct: Fill survey calendars with homeowners who fit the property, postcode and financing requirements.

    False lead volume

    Lead forms produced volume, but 38% of contacts were outside the service area or not installation-ready. The trap was that isolated metrics still looked acceptable: Ad CTR was 1.10%, landing cpc was $4.80, and qualified-lead cpa was $118.

    Cheap forms hid postcode and ownership mismatch. That changed the diagnosis. The issue was not one toggle inside an ad account; it was what the system counted as success and which signal reached the team. The work had to connect media to the outcome that actually created business value.

    03 / THE TURN

    Replace the universal form with an eligibility journey and let current crew capacity decide what demand is worth buying.

    The first decision was “Map capacity.” Import postcode-level crew capacity before allocating media. It was followed by “Qualify early”: Ask property, ownership, timing and financing questions before the sales call.

    Made qualified survey the optimization event and kept raw leads as a diagnostic metric only. Once the measurement logic was shared, the team could see what to stop, what needed a different message, and where the real constraint sat in the page, lead handling or product availability rather than traffic.

    Your house, your numbers: replace generic eco promises with a clear property-specific route.

    Your house, your numbers: replace generic eco promises with a clear property-specific route. The production plan became 12 postcode ads, 8 homeowner explainers, 16 statics and a three-step qualification page. The tests were not about abstract taste; they covered monthly saving, comfort, grant eligibility, installation time, local proof and survey availability.

    The journey was assembled as one chain: Local ad → Savings estimator → Property check → Survey booking. Google Search, Meta, Microsoft Ads, YouTube no longer lived in separate reports, while GA4, HubSpot, CallRail, Google Ads Offline Conversions, Metabase connected spend, behaviour and the final outcome. Synced service-area capacity and reduced spend automatically when the next slot moved beyond the agreed window.

    05 / THE DECISION

    The best lead is not the cheapest name and phone number. It is a job the business can actually complete.

    In the model, ad ctr moved from 1.10% to 1.91%, qualified-lead cpa from $118 to $74, and surveys booked reached 129. These are not promises; they make the decision thresholds explicit before real data enters the system.

    Weeks 7–10: Scale by survey completion and crew capacity. The main conclusion reached beyond a single campaign. A lead was never the product. A survey the company could actually fulfil was. That is the logic a real engagement would retain, using the client's actual evidence, constraints and accountable decision makers.

STRATEGY

Four decisions that change the economics.

  1. 01
    Map capacity

    Import postcode-level crew capacity before allocating media.

  2. 02
    Qualify early

    Ask property, ownership, timing and financing questions before the sales call.

  3. 03
    Local proof

    Use installation examples, savings ranges and available survey dates by area.

  4. 04
    Optimize to surveys

    Send booked and completed survey events back to ad platforms.

CREATIVE IDEA

Your house, your numbers: replace generic eco promises with a clear property-specific route.

PRODUCTION

12 postcode ads, 8 homeowner explainers, 16 statics and a three-step qualification page.

WHAT WE TEST

Monthly saving, comfort, grant eligibility, installation time, local proof and survey availability.

WHAT DID NOT GO TO PLAN

Problems are part of the work. So are the fixes.

01

False lead volume

PROBLEM

Cheap forms hid postcode and ownership mismatch.

FIX

Made qualified survey the optimization event and kept raw leads as a diagnostic metric only.

02

Crew overload

PROBLEM

Ads kept buying leads where installation calendars were full.

FIX

Synced service-area capacity and reduced spend automatically when the next slot moved beyond the agreed window.

OPERATING CADENCE

What happens while the project runs.

MAIN TAKEAWAY

A lead was never the product. A survey the company could actually fulfil was.

This demonstrates how we think — it does not fabricate a case study.

This is not a client result; the numbers are sample data. For your project, we adapt the solution, tools and measurement to the task and budget.
