Den richtigen Akquisekanal für dein Business finden

0:00If you were to focus on one channel in order to lower CAC, and which channel would that be? And how would you go about learning that process as fast as possible? Two big. Okay. Currently, I purchase leads from a third-party lead provider. That's my main acquisition channel. And so, I want to move away from them and master Facebook or pay-per-click or something like that. Residential solar customers.

0:27Residential Oh, shoot. I mean, there's so many ways. I mean, that's like I just want to pick like one direction. I want to get a like I mean, you can obviously in that space, like there's door knockers, which you know, there's huge people who do that. Um you can you can do, you know, you could do PPC if you want to do that. Um I prefer interruption-based advertising in general to PPC. The pros and Hm? Would you do Meta then? So, Meta, YouTube, TikTok, whatever. The I'll just give you the quick pros and cons. And so, PPC, the the pros of PPC are that you don't have to have very much creative. Once you get uh a high-converting ad that works on search, then you just let it run because it can be the same ad because you have new eyeballs based on intent that search every single month for whatever that solution is.

1:11But, you compete against every other person who's also you know, paying for those terms. So, it really comes it comes down to an LTV battle of who can spend more, right? To to to own those terms. So, that's thing one. Um on the interruption side, the benefit uh is that typically they're it's interruption. They didn't get on the internet looking for solar, but they had your ad was compelling enough. And so, they're you're typically selling in a vacuum, right? And so, you have fewer people that are competing for that, you know, specific lead. Um and you can get them for cheaper. The downside is that you have to recycle creative and make new creative on a very regular basis.

1:43And depending on the size of the market, like if you're in a local market, you have to make new creative every 3 weeks. If you're national, you can get away with sometimes, you know, every every 6 weeks, sometimes every 8. And so, uh those are kind of like the the pros and cons. Both work. And at scale, you probably would use both. But, if you're like, "Okay, what do I start with?" I typically reverse this to your skill set, which is which of these things do you have the smallest skill deficiency in, and then I would just do that. But, like outbound works.

2:09The you know, PPC and and and Facebook ads or YouTube ads like pre-roll, those both work. They're different types of audiences that you're going after. They're both paid ads. Um content probably wouldn't be the strategy that I would use. I think having a little bit in there just to look like you have a pulse uh helps conversion overall through the funnel. And so, by the way, for anybody who doesn't make content, like just post once a week on the one or two platforms that you advertise on. Just it will it will make you more money. You won't be able to directly tie it, but people tend to consume some stuff a little bit before they make a purchase. So, if I have a strategic advantage in my LTV is higher than my competitors, then you would probably lean into PPC. Is that what I'm hearing?

2:47Yeah. If you really can outspend everyone, then that's that'll be the simplest cuz then all you have to do is just look at the keywords. And there's tons of tools online that just like you can look at your competitors' keywords, you can find their ads, and then you can model the ads. Okay. Thank you.
