405 - My Thoughts on Social Media for Marketing - FLASHBACK

About this episode

Spencer discusses the true role of social media in marketing, emphasizing its value in trust-building rather than lead generation.

Many remodelers expect social media to be a major lead generator, but the data tells a different story. In this throwback episode, Spencer explains why social media typically drives only a small percentage of leads and is far more valuable as a trust-building and nurturing tool. He walks through how prospects often discover your business through channels like Google or referrals, then use social media to validate your credibility, see your work, and get a feel for your brand before reaching out. Spencer also highlights why social media’s impact is often underreported in analytics and how it plays a critical supporting role in converting leads into customers. If you’ve been over-prioritizing social media for lead generation, this episode will help you rethink its true role in your marketing system.
