What we hear
The problems Restoration owners bring us
Water, fire, and mold jobs arrive as true emergencies with a homeowner in crisis, not a comparison shopper
Insurance-claim navigation is often the deciding factor in which company gets hired, not price or brand
24/7 call coverage is non-negotiable, and any gap sends the job to a competitor within the hour
Referral relationships with plumbers, insurance adjusters, and agents are a major lead source that's rarely tracked or nurtured systematically
Documentation (photos, moisture readings, timelines) for insurance claims is time-intensive and easy to under-invest in
What’s available
The upside sitting on the table
Verified 24/7 rapid-response messaging is the single highest-leverage trust signal in this category
A formal referral program with plumbers, agents, and adjusters turns word-of-mouth into a trackable channel
Insurance-claim documentation-as-a-service differentiates from restoration companies that treat it as an afterthought
Google Business Profile and review velocity matter enormously given how often 'near me' searches happen in a genuine crisis
CRM-tracked referral-source attribution reveals which relationships are actually worth investing more in
Why we do it this way
We write both columns down before we propose anything, because a plan for a restoration company only holds up if it starts from this trade’s real failure points — not from a keyword tool or another agency’s template.
Benchmarks
We won't print a number we can't stand behind.
Plenty of agencies publish industry averages scraped from someone else's blog. These slots stay empty until they're filled with figures from real Terramand engagements — and when they are, they'll say where they came from.

How they search
This is what a customer types thirty seconds before they call somebody.
Intent is not one keyword. It's an emergency query at 2am, a comparison query on Saturday, and a financing query the week after. The plan has to answer all three.
- water damage restoration near me 24 hour
- fire damage cleanup company
- mold remediation cost
- flooded basement emergency help
- restoration company that works with insurance
- smoke damage cleanup near me
Example query patterns for illustration — your actual demand map is built from keyword and inquiry data gathered during onboarding.
The funnel
Where Restoration jobs get won — and dropped.
Each stage has its own failure mode. Most companies fix the top and wonder why the calendar didn't change.
Why we do it this way
We map every stage before spending on the top of it, because pushing more leads into a stage that drops them just raises the price of every job you do book.

Illustrative funnel shape — the taper is geometry, not measured drop-off. Your real stage conversion rates get measured in the diagnostic.
Your calendar
Seasonality is the plan, not a footnote.
We build the year backwards from your peak — pre-season demand capture, in-season capacity protection, off-season database work.
Storm/flood events (variable)
Sharp, high-volume regional surges tied directly to weather events, not a calendar pattern.
Winter
Frozen pipe bursts drive a predictable seasonal spike in water-damage calls.
Year-round baseline
Fire and mold jobs occur steadily without strong seasonality, driven by individual incidents.

The build
What we'd run for a restoration company
Pulled from the same five-stage system — sequenced for this trade.
Attract
Google Local Services Ads
Pay per lead, not per click — and only when it's a real one.
Operate
CRM
One record of the customer, not five spreadsheets.
Convert
Reputation Management
Reviews are a ranking system, not a trophy case.
Convert
Call Tracking & Analytics
You can't fix what you can't hear.
Why we do it this way
These are sequenced, not bundled. Each one hands the next stage a warmer lead — paying to make the phone ring only pays off when what happens after the ring is built to book the job.
