HOW IT WORKS

A four-step system that goes from cold market to qualified leads on your calendar.

01

Qualify

We review your market, experience, and capacity. We only work with builders who are positioned to close what we send them.

02

Build the System

We build your full funnel — ads, landing page, qualification quiz, and automated follow-up — wired into your CRM before a single dollar is spent on ads.

03

Launch

Meta ads go live targeting homeowners in your market who have the property, budget, and intent to build — not just browse.

04

Close Projects

Pre-qualified leads hit your calendar. You show up, do what you do best, and close. We optimize continuously based on what converts.

02 — Services

THE FULL SYSTEM

Everything needed to generate, qualify, and convert ADU leads — built and managed for you.

01

Meta Ad Campaigns

Scroll-stopping creative built around real project visuals, before/after backyards, and copy that speaks directly to homeowners who are ready to build — not just thinking about it.

02

Qualification Funnel

A quiz funnel that pre-qualifies every lead before they reach your calendar. Budget, timeline, property type, and intent — all screened before you spend a minute on the phone.

03

CRM + Automated Follow-Up

Instant lead notification, automated follow-up sequences, and pipeline tracking — so no qualified lead falls through the cracks between ad click and signed contract.

04

Landing Page + Funnel

A conversion-focused page built specifically for ADU leads — project examples, process overview, and a clear path to booking a consultation with you.

05

Market Exclusivity

We don't work with competing builders in the same zip codes. Your market is yours. Competitors in your area cannot be our clients while you are.

06

Reporting + Optimization

Weekly performance reports tracking cost-per-lead, show rate, and pipeline value — not vanity metrics. Monthly strategy calls to keep the system dialed in.

NOT ANOTHER
ADS AGENCY.

Most people who get into construction start swinging a hammer. I started at a drafting table.

From 16 years old I was doing architectural plans, permit packages, and entitlement work — years before I ever stepped onto a job site. I went to school for architecture, spent years doing freelance permit and entitlement work on the side, then spent the next decade building custom homes. I never stopped doing both.

That combination — design background, deep entitlement experience, and years in the field — is why this system is built differently. The ads speak the right language. The funnel asks the right questions. And when a deal gets complicated at the permit stage, we don't shrug and send you a lead report.

Extended Network

We maintain relationships with ADU architects and permit specialists in key markets — including permit plan specialists with deep experience in LA County. If a deal needs design or entitlement support to get to groundbreak, we have the right people.

Permitting Process Knowledge We pre-educate homeowners on real permit timelines through the funnel — so leads arrive with realistic expectations, not sticker shock at month three.
Entitlement-Aware Creative Our ad copy speaks the language of setbacks, zoning, and site conditions — not generic "dream backyard" messaging that attracts the wrong crowd.
Budget Qualification Built In Every lead is screened for realistic budget expectations before they reach you. We filter for homeowners who understand what a quality ADU actually costs.
Market-Specific Targeting Phoenix is not Austin is not LA. Each market has different zoning realities. Our campaigns are built for your city's rules — not copy-pasted national ads.
Specialist Positioning We position you as the ADU specialist in your market — not a GC who also does ADUs. That distinction matters when a homeowner is making a $300K decision.
Design + Entitlement Support Through our architect and permit specialist network, we can help bridge the gap between qualified lead and approved plans — keeping deals alive that would otherwise stall.
04 — Results

WHAT THE
SYSTEM DELIVERS

An ADU builder came to us with a strong reputation, a solid portfolio, and zero marketing infrastructure. No funnel. No paid ads. Relying entirely on referrals and word of mouth.

Within 60 days we had qualified leads on their calendar. Their first closed ADU project came from a small initial ad spend — and the system paid for itself on that first contract alone.

That result isn't the ceiling — it's what the system looks like when it's built correctly from day one. The right leads, pre-educated homeowners, and a follow-up sequence that does the heavy lifting between ad click and signed contract.

05 — Fit

WHO THIS IS FOR

We're selective about who we work with. The system only works when the builder on the other end is ready to close.

Good Fit
Licensed general contractor with completed ADU projects in your portfolio
Willing to invest in paid ads and treat it as a business growth tool, not a gamble
Operating in an active ADU market — Arizona, Texas, Florida, California, Colorado, or Tennessee
Ready to follow up with leads same-day and close on expertise, not lowest price
Looking to build a consistent ADU pipeline — not just fill one slow month
Not a Fit
Not a licensed contractor — we can't generate leads for work that can't be legally performed
Not interested in investing in ads — the system requires fuel to run and won't work without it
Competing on price — our leads are pre-qualified for quality and won't respond to the lowest bid
06 — Questions

COMMON QUESTIONS

How is aduflow different from other marketing agencies?
+
We were built specifically for ADU builders by someone with a background in architectural drafting, entitlement, permitting, and custom home construction. Most agencies don't know what a setback is or how long a permit takes in your city. We've been in that process firsthand — which changes how we write ads, build funnels, and qualify leads.
What platforms do you run ads on?
+
Primarily Meta — Facebook and Instagram. ADU leads respond well to visual before/after content and targeted homeowner audiences. We use a qualification funnel to pre-qualify leads before they ever reach your calendar, so you're not wasting time on bad fits.
What does it cost and is there a long-term contract?
+
Month-to-month — no long-term contracts. There's a one-time setup fee to build your full funnel and a monthly management retainer. Ad spend is paid directly to Meta and is separate. Grab the free packet above for full details on what's included.
How quickly will I see results?
+
Most clients see their first qualified leads within 7–14 days of going live. The full funnel is built during onboarding so by the time ads launch, everything is in place to capture, qualify, and route leads automatically.
Can you help with design or permitting support?
+
Yes — through our network. We have relationships with ADU architects and permit specialists in key markets, including professionals with extensive experience in LA County. If a deal needs support getting from qualified lead to approved plans, we can make the right introductions and help keep projects moving.
