[Run Your Free Leak Audit](/leak-audit)[Book a Demo](/book-demo) ### Google Business Profile The single highest-intent free channel for an asphalt shop. Optimize the profile, post weekly, request reviews after every job, and respond to every message within an hour. Most shops leave 30 to 50 percent of their possible local search traffic on the table because the profile is half-set-up. ### Referrals and past customers A homeowner who hired you 5 years ago needs sealcoating now. A property manager who used you on one lot owns three more. Past-customer reactivation is the cheapest lead source in the trade and almost nobody works it systematically. ### Google Local Service Ads (LSAs) Pay per qualified lead, not per click. LSAs sit above organic and Maps in many markets. Google Guaranteed badge raises conversion. Works best when you can answer the phone within 30 seconds, every time. ### Meta lead ads (Facebook and Instagram) Targeted by neighborhood, homeownership, and home value. Lead-form ads beat landing-page ads on cost for residential paving when the offer is a free estimate. The catch is speed-to-lead has to be under 5 minutes or conversion collapses. ### Neighborhood door-hangers When you have a job on a street, hit the 20 closest homes the day before and the day after. Cheapest customer acquisition cost in the trade for residential driveways because the trucks are already there. ### Commercial outbound Property managers, HOAs, and facility managers buy on relationship and reliability. A short monthly email with one useful tip and one case study builds the inbox you need when their lot finally fails. ## The one number that decides everything Speed-to-lead. 78 percent of buyers go with the first contractor who responds. Every hour you delay cuts conversion by roughly half. Under 5 min Conversion stays high 5 to 60 min Conversion drops 40 percent Over 4 hrs Lead is essentially dead ## What GoPave handles - Every lead from every source lands in one inbox - 90-second auto-response on web forms, missed calls, and ad leads - 18-month follow-up sequence on cold leads - Past-customer reactivation campaigns - Review automation that feeds Google Business Profile - Tracking so you know which channel actually pays ## FAQ ### What is the best lead source for an asphalt contractor? ### How much should I spend on asphalt lead generation per month? ### Why do most paving leads go cold? ### Does GoPave generate leads or just manage them? ## See where your lead flow is leaking The Leak Audit shows you, in 2 minutes, which of these channels you are running below the bar and what that costs you in lost jobs per month.
