A simple growth check

Measure inquiries and booked cleans

Connect each campaign link to the quote form, then record which inquiries become customers.

FOLLOW THE CUSTOMER

Post → Quote →
Booked clean

Use tagged links and record the source of each inquiry.

BEFORE A PAID TEST

Know your limit

Customer acquisition cost = acquisition costs ÷ new customers.

Compare it with the expected gross profit from a customer and how soon you need payback.

Use Desert Shine’s actual costs and retention before setting a number.

If you test paid ads, set the budget and acceptable customer acquisition cost before spending.
