How much money does it typically cost you to obtain a customer using Facebook ads? I plan on starting with a $1000 budget for my first month. How many customers can I expect with that?

I got a few different quotes to build a website. One for $1200, $3000 and another for $10k. What should I be looking for in a website to justify those prices?

I’m brand new and had some questions. My fb ad budget will be small at first. Maybe 10-15$ a day. I don’t have enough to split test my ads, so my question is how long do I wait until determining an ad is a dud? And how exactly can you tell?

Also I live in a city of 500k, is it best to target by zip code and breaking it down into chunks? Or targeting the city as a whole?

I have a fulltime job that I work remotely. I have been considering start a dog waste and lawn mowing business. I have hired both in the past and they never aligned when they come and I end up having smashed dog waste.

I feel that it is a niche market to do both, no one I see is offering both services as a bundle. It would be pet friendly company. One marketing idea was going to sponsor the adoption for a dog each month.

In the US in a city with 1million + people . A lot of franchise dog waste companies and your typical number of a trillion landscapers around the area.

My question is their still remove in the market and is this a dumb idea?

Thank you in advance for advice and thoughts

I’m interested in starting this what’s the best way to get clients I was thinking door hangers and just hitting a entire neighborhood to start. But I’m also curious about pricing do you guys up the price depending on how many dogs Ik most people charge around 100 dollars a month on average. My goal is to try and get 10 weekly recurring customers in 1 month

Wanting to start this business but I’m wondering the seasonality of it. Is there a drop off of clientele in the winter months? When people sign on do they stay with you for multiple years or is this a come and go type service?

I own a landscaping business currently so I’m familiar with keeping up weekly routes. However, we only cut lawns 3 days per week and the rest of the week it’s side jobs (shrubs, mulch etc) So if it rains or somebody calls out/needs off, it’s not a big deal, we can just reschedule some jobs for the following week and still always finish the weekly cuts. With this business though I’m not sure how you make work up. If you’re scheduling waste removal 5 days per week M-F, then what free time is there to make the day up?

just curious what your methods are? Im starting this business while maintaining a full time 8-5pm job. when winter rolls around, by the time I get off work and go to service clients, it’s going to be getting dark. Has anyone else dealt with this situation? Is walking around with a flashlight helmet good enough to do the trick?
