    Google maps is king. Only required local SEO, referrals, reviews, and Ur only marketing is delivering on the awesomeness you sell

      My little thing is a serviced based business, but of your making sales, everyone has to deliver something. The more you can give to clients without much (or any) costs to you (thinking once off created assets) the better deal the client thinks they got, they leave happier, pay more and actually recommend you to the people the come across… If your marketing to get clients… and Ur selling shit… your adverting your shit sandwich!

    From most important. Paid ads (Meta, Google, YT, TT), organic social media (IG, TT) and AI generated SEO with Byword.ai and MidJourney. Nearing 800k per year now.

    Google Search (Organic) > Google Paid (Performance max has been yielding best results and google shopping is good as well). No social ads. Hit 900k in sales this year. We’re a franchise of a well known Auto brand selling parts/accessories selling in Canada - so we do have the leg up on having a huge audience base already. We’re hoping to achieve larger growth as we ramp up exposure into the US market.

      That’s impressive! Congrats, I’m also in Canada (Montreal). I imagine you have a lot of competition. How do you differentiate yourself?

    Wish I knew, I think mine is mainly word of mouth. I have done 4x that and zero marketing and I just don’t post too much on social media (I’m lacking there)

    We do well into 8 figures between portfolio brands and most of our brands are ~80% + one channel.

    IE our main co is ~80%+ FB.

    IMO just keep working at a channel until you can get it to ~$20m - $30m topline. Maybe more.

    Thank everyone for the insightful responses, I think we all found it very helpful. I see a trend of Google Paid ads and more specifically PMax as the top performing solution. I’m interested to know more about the high level strategy for those if possible?

    As the owner of a successful online fitness and nutrition coaching business, my experience has been that word of mouth and organic social media are the most effective marketing channels.
    The majority of my new clients come through referrals and word of mouth from existing happy customers. Building a reputation for quality coaching and results leads to a steady stream of new sign-ups.
    I’d estimate my sales split is:
    Word of mouth referrals: 60%
    Organic Instagram: 30%
    Other social media: 5%
    Google SEO: 5%
    Paid ads and influencer collaborations have not been worthwhile for my niche. Instagram is great for organic content that establishes trust and authority. High-quality before and after photos really help convert followers into coaching clients.
