i tried it out for the crusher hire business. Waste of money. In fact, the yellow pages ad is a waste of money too. not had one hire from it in the four years of advertising! scrapping it next year

We picked up a large groundworks job when the original contractor couldn't satisfy the client at the outset of the works some time ago.

Always ask the customer where they found us - mostly it is word of mouth, the best form of advertising.

Set up a google ads campaigne instead, you can keep it local (10,20,30 mile radius).

You have a better chance of quality leads
