Home Inspector SEO in 2021: What You Need to Know
Tuesday Nov 24, 2020
Tuesday Nov 24, 2020
Doug Schatz is one of my favorite partners (they are our digital marketing partner at Market Hardware) because he is such a great guy and deeply cares about the client experience the way we do.
We get into where SEO stands today, what's important, what's not and the most common mistakes inspectors make when thinking about their SEO.
We also go into the playbook for solo inspectors, mid-career, and large multis on what you can do at your stage and phase of your business.
If you want to learn more about digital marketing, write into our chat or check out the blog! We're happy to connect you with the right person to see if digital marketing is right for you.

Monday Oct 26, 2020
Monday Oct 26, 2020
How vulnerable and transparent are you? Did you ever think it could help transform your business?

Just one look at his website and you can tell - he owns who he is.

To Grow or Not to Grow - Efficiency and Staying Lean - Zac Knoblauch
Monday Sep 28, 2020
Monday Sep 28, 2020
Zac could be a multi-inspector firm already. He's just not sure if that's what he wants. And that's ok. Zac is part of a new wave of inspectors that are in their first 5 years and growing nicely. He is efficient and knows the "time is money" saying is more than a cliche. He lives it.
We talk about efficiency - using the software to get reports done more efficiently and using Spectora Advanced to reduce the need to hire office staff (30-40 min saved per inspection!).
We talk about answering your own phone - the same dilemma everyone faces when they get to hundreds of inspections a year.
We talk about mentors and peers in the industry. I have a feeling some will be reaching out to him after this one!
Find Zac at this website https://rigidinspections.com/ or on Instagram, @rigidinspections

Falling Off Roofs & Raising Prices - KC Bartley
Tuesday Aug 11, 2020
Tuesday Aug 11, 2020
I've never had an interaction with KC that didn't leave me energized and happy. He is just a ball of positivity and I love it. KC is a Spectora OG and has some great stories and conviction in who he is, and what his company stands for.
With one of the best websites around and hundreds of Google Reviews, he shares a little on how he runs a very efficient 1-man shop.
