Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How Ryan Flannery Grew from 0 to 700 Pools in 18 Months with Paid Ads
Q: How do you view the balance between Google and Meta today for a pool service business?
Budget and market specifics matter; Meta tends to be cheaper and effective for smaller budgets, while Google can deliver high-quality leads in larger, well-funded campaigns.
How Ryan Flannery Grew from 0 to 700 Pools in 18 Months with Paid Ads
Q: What fueled the early growth after starting from zero?
Strong initial ad performance on Google and later expansion into Meta, plus a willingness to test and scale quickly.
How Ryan Flannery Grew from 0 to 700 Pools in 18 Months with Paid Ads
Q: Zero to 700 in 18 months, was that basically all paid ads?
Yes, paid ads played the core role, with organic and word-of-mouth contributing, but ads drove the rapid growth.
Pool Marketing That Actually Works with Garrett Preston
Q: How should a new operator think about marketing channels and the budget they need?
Start with a Google My Business page and a simple website, then test paid channels like Facebook or Google Ads based on budget; for most, a $1,500/month investment via an agency tends to move the needle, while smaller budgets can work if handled in-house.
Pool Marketing That Actually Works with Garrett Preston
Q: What would you do differently if you started a pool company from scratch today?
Focus on weekly service with a tight route, set clear expectations, and build a strong, in-person sales process to close deals; be selective with customers and invest in the capital to scale responsibly.
