In brief
i screwed up: we poured ad money into a funnel that looked great in analytics but produced zero booked calls. Costly, obvious mistake — and it taught us the only metric that mattered was "did the next human take a meeting." What doesn't work: chasing traffic and vanity metrics.

What doesn't work: chasing traffic and vanity metrics.
Why it feels right: traffic is visible, feels like control.
What does work: an automated sequence that turns a single click into a scheduled call.
Simplest version to try today:
1) pick one offer and one conversion (booking or sale)
2) build a one-page flow: headline, 3 benefits, one clear CTA
3) automate 3 follow-ups over 72 hours that ask for a meeting
we learned this from restaurants — they don’t count footfall, they book tables, and you should too
