Reviews compound, referrals scale, ads pay back, and past customers buy again. Or they leak. [Run the Leak Audit](/leak-audit)[Book a Demo](/book-demo) ## The 6 channels that pay back ### Google Business Profile Reviews drive local map rank more than anything else. Automated review requests after every job is the single highest-ROI marketing move an asphalt contractor can make. ### Referrals on autopilot Past customers are the cheapest leads you will ever get. Sequenced touch points after job completion, at the 1-year mark, and before each seal-cycle keep your name in their phone. ### Door hangers and neighbor postcards When you finish a job, the houses on that street are your hottest market for the next 30 days. Trigger neighbor outreach automatically from the completed job. ### Google and Facebook ads Lead forms route directly into the pipeline with missed-call text-back as the safety net. Track cost per booked estimate, not cost per click. ### SEO that compounds City and service pages, blog content, and structured data that earn organic traffic month after month. We do not run your SEO, but the CRM tracks where every lead came from so you know what is working. ### Past customer reactivation Your database is full of homeowners due for sealcoating and property managers due for renewal. Reactivation campaigns turn old contacts into new revenue without spending on new leads. ## FAQs ### What is the best marketing channel for asphalt contractors? ### Does GoPave run marketing for me? ### How fast should I respond to a new lead? ### How do I measure marketing ROI? ![GoPave - CRM for Asphalt Contractors](/assets/gopave-logo-DTDNhWwP.png) The asphalt contractor system that captures leads, books estimates, gets you paid, and grows your reputation. ### Product - [How It Works](/how-it-works) - [Capture Leads](/product/capture-leads) - [Book Estimates](/product/book-estimates) - [Get Paid](/product/get-paid) - [Grow Reputation](/product/grow-reputation) ### Solutions - [Missed-Call Text Back](/missed-call-text-back) - [Estimate Follow-Up](/estimate-follow-up) - [Unified Inbox](/asphalt-unified-inbox) - [Online Scheduling](/asphalt-online-scheduling) - [Invoicing & Payments](/asphalt-invoicing-payments) - [Review Automation](/asphalt-review-automation) - [Lead Generation](/asphalt-lead-generation) - [Commercial Paving CRM](/commercial-paving-crm) ### Guides - [Asphalt Paving Guide](/asphalt-paving-guide) - [Driveway Paving Cost](/asphalt-paving-guide/driveway-cost) - [Sealcoating Cost](/asphalt-paving-guide/sealcoating-cost) - [Best Time to Pave](/asphalt-paving-guide/best-time-to-pave-driveway) - [Asphalt vs Concrete](/asphalt-paving-guide/asphalt-vs-concrete) - [Parking Lot Paving Cost](/asphalt-paving-guide/parking-lot-paving-cost) - [Repair vs Replace](/asphalt-paving-guide/repair-vs-replace) ### Company - [About](/about) - [Contact](/contact) - [Pricing](/pricing) - [Compare](/compare) - [Resources](/resources) - [Blog](/blog) - [Calculator](/calculator) ### Legal - [Privacy Policy](/privacy) - [Terms of Service](/terms) - [SMS Terms](/sms-terms) - [Cookies](/cookies) © 2026 GoPave.
