~52 LSA + ~43 Meta leads at pace
The short version: the seasonal dip reversed. The week of Aug 17 finished with 12 LSA leads — beating the prior week's 8 — and this week is pacing right with it. Meta's soft stretch also reversed: after CPL crept to $45.67 mid-month, the last five days ran roughly $36/lead, pulling the August estimate back to ~$42. August is now projected to be the second-busiest month of the season. Reminder for reading ROAS: Hemma's 8–10 week cycle means this month's revenue mostly comes from June–July leads.

Where August's leads came from
Top cities, LSA leads through Aug 20
The dip reversed. Weekly leads went 13 → 8 → 12, and this week has 8 by Wednesday. August is pacing to ~52 LSA leads — closing in on May's 54.
Two leads in review — check on the call. Both Aug 26: the Mayfield phone lead and the Medina message lead (Mike Mendicino). The dispute window is limited; the Aug 20 Akron review resolved to charged.
Cleaner mix continues. Still no repair-flagged or junk leads in August; geography keeps spreading (North Royalton ×4, plus Massillon, Green, and a 44645 first).

The soft stretch reversed. After CPL crept to $45.67 mid-month, the last five days delivered ~11 leads at roughly $36/lead. No creative change needed right now — keep the budget where it is.
August figures are estimates. This week's export covered a rolling Jul 28–Aug 26 window (40 leads, $1,708.61), so the August split assumes July's daily averages for the overlap days. Next export, set the date range to the calendar month for exact numbers.
What we recommendRight now
1 · Hold the Meta budget; refresh creative if CPL stays elevated next week. Volume is up 32% on the same spend — feed what's working, fix the ad before adding dollars.
2 · Ride the LSA seasonality. Lean into fall-appropriate jobs (repairs, staining, three-season rooms) and revisit weekly budgets in September rather than overbidding a cooling market.
3 · Log estimates weekly, not just closed deals. With the 8–10 week cycle, estimates booked is the leading indicator; deals and ROAS confirm it two months later.
4 · Keep the review engine running. Review count and rating directly drive LSA ranking as competitors bid into fall.

Where July's leads came from
Top cities, July LSA leads
Repairs made up a big slice. 20 of 76 LSA leads were repair-flagged (boards, railings, staining, ledger work).
People searched for Hemma by name. 8 leads came from direct business searches — the brand pulling demand on its own.
Dispute filtering worked. Wrong numbers, an HVAC call, and a Craigslist misdial screened at no cost; one charged lead disputed and credited back.

What the season saysTakeaways
The season has a clear shape. Volume ramped 15 → 44 → 54 → 73 → 76 from March to July; August is pacing to ~52 — a gentler fall-off than expected. For 2027: bid aggressively April through July, ease off into fall — the curve proves it.
The charge rate holds around 72%. Google's filtering plus our disputes keep roughly 1 in 4 leads free; four disputes won outright. Keep contesting anything out of scope.
The service area has a spine. Akron (26), Medina (17), Solon (17), Brunswick (16), Canton (14) anchor the map — the roadmap for the next service-area pages and review pushes.
Repairs are a standing stream. 31 repair-flagged leads across the season — they hold up better than full builds off-season and can keep LSA producing through the slow months.

$396,991
25 jobs excluded from ROAS — see the gap below
ROAS counts ONLY revenue from wins attributed to Google LSA or Meta ($92,900 · 3 jobs · Meta's first closes expected Sept–Oct). It is a floor: $396,991 of won revenue has no source and is deliberately excluded rather than credited to ads. Closing the attribution gap is what moves this number toward its true value.

What the ad platforms actually delivered vs how many of those leads carry a source tag in the CRM. The unfilled part of each bar is revenue credit going unclaimed.
Platform-reported leads vs source-tagged in CRM — season to date
Charged (billed) leads only — junk / not-charged leads are excluded everywhere · Meta's Aug portion estimated
LSA's tracked count = 6 tagged + 52 matched to charged LSA leads by phone or name. Message-based LSA leads mostly can't be matched, which is part of the remaining gap. The fix: a GHL automation that stamps the source on every opportunity at intake.
Reading it honestlyPipeline notes
Meta is too young to judge on closed deals. 42 opportunities, 37 still active, 0 closed — the campaign launched July 1 and the build cycle is 8–10 weeks, so Meta's first signed jobs should land September–October. Watch the 8 appointments already scheduled.
The attribution gap is the big fix. 343 opportunities (58%) have no known source — including $397K of won revenue nobody can credit. 52 were matched back to charged LSA leads by phone or name; the rest need a source stamped at intake. A GHL automation can do this permanently.
Follow-up is the bottleneck, not lead flow. 127 opportunities sit in “Contact Attempting.” Faster first-touch (the missed-call text-back and speed-to-lead automations) moves more of these to appointments than any ad change would.
The website form quietly closes. 81 opportunities, 11 wins, $198K — the site is a producer in its own right, separate from the ad platforms.
