Podcast 329: How To Use AI To Improve Your Marketing And Get More Qualified Leads For Your Roofing Business with Aaron Hockel

Every roofing contractor wants MORE leads, MORE activity, and MORE sales. The big question is, “How do I make those things happen?” Today’s show is about using AI technology as part of a cohesive strategy to get there. If you aren’t taking advantage of what AI can do for your roofing business, you are already behind the times. Get with the program! Don’t be afraid to branch out and learn something new! Join us to learn more!

I’m joined by Aaron Hockel, a partner and the VP of Digital Marketing at AltaVista Strategic Partners. He is a marketing expert who specializes in working with both commercial and residential roofing contractors, acting as their marketing coordinator to do the behind-the-scenes work to get more qualified leads and sales for his clients. 

What you’ll hear in this episode:

• How AI is transforming roofing businesses to save time and manpower and get more qualified leads
• From Dave: An example of using ChatGPT to generate an outline of marketing tips
• How Aaron is using ChatGPT to keep up with technology advances
• Why you might be wasting money with your current marketing plan
• What AltaVista does in their behind-the-scenes work with clients to improve SEO and revamp marketing strategies
• Why any tool, like ChatGPT, must be used with guidance as part of a well-defined marketing plan with a cohesive strategy
• Why you have to use caution with any AI tool
• Why most contractors are NOT investing enough dollars in marketing and not spending in the right places
