SmartStrat Marketing was established in 2022 with a straightforward goal: to assist local construction businesses in expanding their reach beyond traditional word-of-mouth referrals and lead directories like Checkatrade and TrustATrader. We quickly observed that many trades and construction firms depended heavily on referrals, leading to inconsistent results and challenges in scaling. We aimed to change this. SmartStrat specializes in creating reliable and scalable systems for generating leads, managing follow-ups, and converting prospects. We integrate paid advertising with AI-driven automation to ensure that inquiries are captured, qualified, and followed up on automatically, enabling companies to secure more projects without spending additional time pursuing leads. What began as a marketing service for a few local builders has evolved into a comprehensive performance-focused offering, which includes: Running targeted advertisements to attract high-quality local leads, creating conversion-centric funnels and landing pages, setting up websites and branding materials, implementing CRM systems for streamlined sales processes, utilizing AI for automating follow-ups, qualifying leads, and scheduling bookings, and providing social media support and content strategies. Our aim remains clear: to generate more inquiries, minimize wasted time, and ensure a consistent influx of new business. Today, we continue to support trade and construction companies in developing effective marketing systems, allowing them to concentrate on delivering exceptional work while we manage the underlying systems, technology, and demand generation.
