Define conversion stages
Start with a written definition: is a conversion a booked estimate, a qualified homeowner, or simply an answered call over 30 seconds? The tighter the definition, the more honest your cost-per-acquisition math becomes.
Wire CRM fields
Every lead should carry a durable source value from call tracking or forms. Train reps to update outcomes within 24 hours so marketing sees lag but not permanent blind spots.
Close the loop monthly
Compare spend, tracked calls, qualified leads, and booked jobs in one view. If a channel shows strong call volume but weak closes, fix scripts and targeting before increasing budget. Pair with CRM software reviews when your stack needs an upgrade.
