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.
If you're enjoying these interviews, share them with your home inspector community! The sharing and distribution of this is the very thing that allows me to keep putting time into it.

Nick is a another Spectora OG that has grown phenomenally over his 5 or so years in business.
He has a great story about deciding to get into this business in 2 days and quit his job and jumped in.
We talk about the hustle of drumming up business before you're ready, putting the customer experience FIRST, not being the cheap guy in your market, and how to be unique in this business.
If you're enjoying these interviews, share them with your home inspector community! This is what keeps me doing these.

They've used this to explode their business in only 4 years and they're not stopping now.
They have aggressive plans to expand their organization into an Oklahoma powerhouse. We talk about hiring, training, expanding into other markets, meeting new agents and leveraging technology to scale efficiently.

How vulnerable and transparent are you? Did you ever think it could help transform your business?
I'm certainly a believer after meeting Dave Adams. From sharing stories about a divorce to having his leg amputated, he is all in on being vulnerable and authentic. And it's working.
Just one look at his website and you can tell - he owns who he is.

Do you think you're the greatest inspector that ever lived? Then this episode is for you.

We also talk about the importance of what IEB is doing for our industry and the key lessons he's learned from working with them.
John is all about collaboration so reach out to him! https://www.ateaseinspections.net/

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

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.
